In the development process of Chinese brand compact SUV, Changan CS75 series is a product that cannot be bypassed in any way, especially the first-generation CS75PLUS listed in September 2019, which pushes the series of models to a new height, with a length of 4.7 meters (2.0T models) but positioned as an A+ SUV, and the overall appearance and interior design have also refreshed the cognitive boundaries of many domestic consumers. Under the comprehensive blessing of various product forces, the first generation of CS75PLUS products has been listed for more than two years since the listing, and the main sales model has been rarely discounted, which is very rare in domestic SUV models.
Of course, this also gives Changan Automobile a new topic, that is, how can the new CS75PLUS break through the sense of surprise given to people by the first model when it is replaced, so that the market and consumers can still feel the "freshness" in the second generation of models. Quite simply, the original CS75PLUS has largely raised the overall level of 10-150,000-level compact SUVs, so the pressure on the second-generation CS75PLUS is actually not small at all.
However, Changan Automobile, which regards entrepreneurship and innovation as its long-term vision, does not seem to disappoint the market and consumers in the second-generation CS75PLUS. On February 28, the model was officially launched, priced at 124,900 yuan - 154,900 yuan, from the end of January pre-sale to the official listing of about a month or so, harvested more than 23,000 pre-sale orders and online discussion before and after the listing, it can be seen that the market and consumers are satisfied with the overall changes in the second-generation CS75PLUS. This new car continues to "raise" people's cognitive "ceiling" for domestic compact products, of course, it may also trigger a new round of product force competition for the same class to a large extent.
Before and after the listing of the second-generation CS75PLUS, it is considered by the industry to be a core product force change that is very "pulling hatred", that is, the new model is equipped with an 8AT transmission from Aisin, that is to say, the 6AT gearbox installed in the previous 1.5T model is now also equipped with a Aisin 8AT transmission, and the power combination of the Blue Whale NE1.5T + Aisin 8AT is extremely rare in the Compact SUV of the Chinese brand. With a maximum engine power of 188Ps and a peak torque of 300N·m, coupled with a Aisin 8AT gearbox with higher gear shift efficiency and better smoothness, the power experience of the 1.5T model is actually very good, and the fuel consumption level can be pressed to a relatively low level.
Of course, the power of the 2.0T model is more surging and the maximum horsepower of the 233Ps engine and the peak torque of 390N·m allow the driver to truly feel a certain degree of acceleration and push back feeling, and the blessing of the Aisin 8AT transmission and the automatic start-stop of the whole series can also make the fuel consumption performance of the large-displacement model more friendly.
The overall advancement of the power system has made many consumers full of confidence in the core components of this car, but as the latest model, how can it lag behind in the degree of intelligence? The improvement of the second-generation CS75PLUS in terms of intelligence is still very obvious compared to the original model. With the help of the in-car camera, the new car can realize a series of intelligent operations. After the driver in the car passes the FACE ID face recognition, he only needs to lightly step on the brakes to start the vehicle, and automatically adjust the air conditioning, multimedia, etc. to the driver's usual state. Can also achieve gesture control, fatigue driving detection, intelligent child care system, irregular driving behavior prompts and other functions, the driver can even see the image of the back child on the big screen in the car, for Bao Dad, Bao Mom, this function is also quite practical.
Of course, with the continuous progress of technology, people's dependence on mobile phones has also promoted the interconnection of mobile phones and vehicles and vehicles. The second-generation CS75PLUS smart cloud control assistant also supports remote control of mobile phone APP. With the help of mobile phone APP and car networking functions, remote window control, mobile phone car search, vehicle health detection and other functions can be realized, and functions such as unlocking, lifting and lowering windows, opening trunk, remote control parking and so on can be realized. Changan Automobile's first shake a shake lock function, the driver after getting off the car as long as shake the mobile phone, you can lock the car, basically, only need a smart phone, you can not bring the car keys.
Parking and reversing can probably be a headache for many SUV drivers, and it would be great if the vehicle could have a higher level of automatic parking! The second-generation CS75PLUS has the function of reversing and multi-scene automatic parking, and the system can identify parking spaces, vehicles, pedestrians, obstacles, etc., and realize horizontal parking, vertical parking, oblique parking and other functions. In some relatively narrow or irregular parking spaces, the driver can completely stand outside the car and use the mobile phone APP to remotely control the vehicle for parking, which is convenient and safe.
The performance of the original CS75PLUS in terms of safety has also made CS75PLUS a "synonym" for safety, and has successively won the C-NCAP five-star evaluation, the six all-excellent (G) evaluation of China Insurance Research Institute and the full-excellence evaluation of the double American standard crash test. Especially in the crash test of ZhongbaoYan, an automobile crash testing institution that is currently recognized as the most stringent domestic standard, the CS75PLUS has received "G" (excellent) evaluations in the frontal 25% bias collision and side collision of many joint venture models, and the overall safety is trustworthy.
The passive safety of the second-generation CS75PLUS continues the highlight performance of the original model, and continues to "increase" at the level of active safety configuration. The new car is equipped with full-speed adaptive cruise single-lane intelligent assistance, traffic congestion assistance, intelligent deceleration cornering, intelligent speed limiting assistance, intelligent avoidance, intelligent emergency braking, reversing lateral automatic emergency braking, 540-degree panoramic image, lane departure warning, parallel line assistance, pedestrian protection and other configurations, it can be said that the front and rear left and right "all-encompassing", in the realization of passive safety "not afraid of collision" at the same time, but also strengthened the active safety "will not collide" ability.
So in fact, from the overall product strength level, the second generation of CS75PLUS is still relatively large, especially in the power system, intelligent configuration and safety level of performance, let us see the product sincerity of this generation of models. The price of 124,900 yuan - 154,900 yuan actually continues to strengthen the cost-effective performance of the CS75 series, so in our view, in the price range of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, the second-generation CS75PLUS is indeed a compact SUV model worth considering buying.
