For a long time, the Haval H6 has been the top seller of compact SUVs in China. However, Haval Automobile cannot be calm about this position, because another independent brand model has been eyeing Haval H6, which is The Changan CS75. With the same good sales volume and word of mouth, Changan CS75 is deeply favored by Chinese consumers. The development of Changan CS75 has launched a higher positioning of CS75 PLUS, not only the shape is more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, the interior configuration and materials are also more exquisite, the cumulative sales of the model has exceeded 450,000 vehicles, playing a very important role in the entire product camp of Changan Automobile. At the end of last year, Changan then launched the revised CS75 PLUS (officially called the second generation model), the new car in addition to the changes that can be seen on the surface, the most important thing is that the gearbox has been fully upgraded from the previous Aisin 6AT to Aisin 8AT, such a big upgrade has also made the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS attract market attention, today we will reveal how big the change in the model after the redesign is.
Appearance: Two front faces newly designed and created
The second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS adopts a new design language in appearance, and the whole vehicle has added more straight lines than before, giving people a new feeling as a whole. In addition, the new car also offers two different shapes of grille design, one of which is shown in the picture, which presents a "V" shape inside, and the other is a dot matrix design, which looks more concise. As for the other parts, the difference between the two is not large.
Details, compared to the old model, the new headlights change very obviously, the slender design makes it look more visual tension, in addition, the LED headlight group also adopts a through-through design, the central trim panel is also equipped with a light strip, the following is equipped with pattern decoration, after lighting up at night has better recognition.
The tail has also changed a lot, and the new car has been equipped with a penetrating tail light group, which echoes the headlight group, and at the same time, it also brings a certain freshness to consumers in the design. The bilateral four-out exhaust gas of the 2.0T model continues to be retained, and it has a strong visual deterrent effect. The 1.5T continues to use a bilateral total of two exhausts to distinguish in terms of shape. In addition, the 19-inch rim of the 2.0T model also adopts a two-color design, the visual effect is very full, and the tires are Dunlop GRANDTREK series, with specific specifications of 225/55 R19.
Interior: The car's engine system is the biggest highlight
Compared with the appearance, the interior design of the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS is not much different from the previous one, but after a closer look, you can still find a lot of adjustments, especially its reloaded suspension double screen, which is more scientific and technological. In addition, due to the readjustment of the center console part, the air conditioner air outlet also adopts a hidden design, coupled with a large area of soft material wrapping, the shape looks more advanced, and the sense of hierarchy is stronger.
The large three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is the same as before, and the surface is wrapped in leather fabric, which makes it feel great to hold. The upgraded full LCD instrument and the central control screen are all 12.3-inch display, and the ultra-long integrated screen adopts a non-crease design in the middle, of which the instrument part can provide three different styles of interface display, and the user can switch through the buttons on the steering wheel.
The new car is also equipped with a camera on the steering wheel pillar, through face recognition can automatically adjust the seat to the previously set distance after starting the vehicle, and the seat can be automatically moved back after the flameout, which is convenient for the driver to get on and off the car. In addition, the system will automatically detect the position of the driver's pupil and adjust the height of the head-up display, which can be described as a very intimate humanized design.
The central control screen is built into the latest Wutong intelligent car machine system, and the whole system is not only powerful, but also very smooth. Among them, the multimedia system equipped with the car supports tencent and AutoNavi dual navigation, and the two can also achieve interactive association, which is very functional. In addition, the built-in functions also include: WeChat, QQ Music, Himalaya, Tencent Video, Douyin and Fantasy Movies, etc., with SONY high-quality audio, online listening to songs, watching movies, can fully meet the needs of daily use.
The central control screen can also be controlled by voice and gestures, and the recognition rate is very high, among them, the voice can control listening to songs, opening windows, etc., gestures can control music switching, navigation and taking pictures, and the playability is very high. In addition, in terms of configuration, the number of charging interfaces of the car is not too much, the front row is only equipped with 1 USB interface and 1 12V cigarette lighter interface, the rear row is equipped with 2 USB interfaces, and the trunk is not equipped with any charging interface.
The air conditioning part adopts an automatic dual temperature zone design, and the front row can be operated by instrument sliding and central control panel touch, which is also more convenient to use. In addition, the design of the car's air outlet mode is also very intuitive, and the current air outlet mode can be understood by viewing the air conditioning simulation screen displayed on the central control screen, and the visual effect is good. Two air-conditioned air outlets are also provided in the rear of the car, but cannot be individually adjusted and can only be controlled by the front passengers.
In terms of comfort, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS seat is very wrapped, the two sides of the waist can well fix the driver's body, and although the seat fabric is made of leather, the actual touch feel performance is also relatively soft. In addition, the main driver and co-driver provide 6-way and 4-way electric seats respectively, while the main driver is also equipped with a seat memory function, which can save up to three sitting positions. The front seats are also equipped with two-speed seat heating, which makes the winter car more intimate. In addition to the entry-level model, the new model is equipped with a large sunroof that can be opened with panoramic views, which can be opened by buttons and voice control.
Power: The whole series is newly reloaded
Aisin 8AT automatic transmission
In terms of power, the model driven this time is equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, and also applies 350bar high-pressure direct injection system, double scroll tube supercharging, water-cooled intercooler and ultra-low tension piston ring and other technologies and components, the maximum power reached 233 horsepower, the peak torque of 390 N · m, the power parameters are very eye-catching. The drivetrain has also been replaced by the latest Aisin 8AT automatic transmission from the previous Aisin 6AT. Moreover, the 1.5T version is also equipped with the Aisin 8AT automatic transmission, which can be described as the biggest highlight of the car.
The car provides a variety of economic, standard, sporty, custom driving modes, among them, in the economic mode, the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS can also complete the starting action very well, the process performance is very brisk, giving people a very good first impression. In the subsequent acceleration process, the CS75 PLUS became very calm, and the power connection of the whole process was very smooth, which was very suitable for daily wandering. However, in the economic mode, CS75 PLUS in order to better fuel consumption performance, in the process of large throttle acceleration, the vehicle power output will not come too directly, feeling deliberately hiding its own strength.
In this case, I adjusted the vehicle to the standard mode, at this time the feedback of the vehicle to the driver is obviously different, continue to give fuel, the speed of the vehicle soared rapidly, on the high-speed road, it is easy to rush to the legal speed limit of 120km/h, the whole process gives people a feeling of full power.
And when switching to the sport mode, the instrument will also become a red theme, and at this time the engine will immediately let you know its existence, even if it keeps the throttle still, but the speed will continue to increase, the performance of the entire engine is like playing "chicken blood", very excited, and even open up a little "channeling" feeling, but the entire power output range is still very controllable, the throttle is also more heeled.
The Aisin 8AT gearbox, which is re-equipped with the new model, performs very well, and the whole process is very quiet, doing its job in obscurity, and the smoothness of the gear change even makes people forget its existence.
Overall, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS performs very easily in everyday driving, and in most cases we can use the economy mode to drive better, and at the same time, the fuel economy can be maximized.
Suspension part, the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS using the front McPherson type independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension, the hardware configuration belongs to the conventional normal level, but in the suspension adjustment I want to give Changan a good review, the entire vehicle driving up to bring the driver feedback is very advanced, the toughness of the suspension is very sufficient, whether it is the encounter with large and small bumps, can handle very decent. The rear feels slightly inferior to the front row, and can still feel a certain vibration after some large bumps, but it can be well resolved for some small bumps. However, in high-speed cornering, the vehicle's lateral support is still lacking, so the driver must control the speed of steering into the corner. In addition, the steering wheel steering feedback of the car is also very friendly to daily driving, and the directivity is also good.
In addition, during the driving process, the camera above the steering wheel of the vehicle will monitor the driver's status in real time, if the driver has inattention, making a call and other behaviors, the vehicle will be reminded through the voice system, and the humanized design is suitable for the heart.
Space: More storage space in the front row
In terms of riding space, the experiencer who is 180cm tall enters the front row, adjusts the sitting posture, and the head space is about one punch away. In terms of storage, there is a lot of storage space in the front row, in addition to our common door panels and armrest boxes, the car has storage space under the left side of the center console and below the armrest position, which can hold items of different sizes. At the same time, the front of the armrest box is also designed with a mobile phone storage slot and a mobile phone wireless charging function. In addition, the two cup holders are also designed with limit devices, which can be used for different sizes of drinks, the overall performance is remarkable.
Keep the front seat unchanged, the experiencer comes to the back row, at this time the head space is also about one punch distance, the leg is about two fists or so distance, the rear space performance is also relatively good. In addition, the rear seats can also be adjusted with multiple different reclining angles to make the sitting position more comfortable. Moreover, the platform bulge in the middle of the rear row is also very small, which does not affect the comfort of the intermediate passengers too much. In terms of storage space, the overall performance of the rear row is not as good as the front row, but it is also completely sufficient for daily use. It is a slight pity that there is no limiter set inside the rear cup holder, and the water bottle is prone to shaking during the vehicle's travels.
In terms of trunk, the overall performance of the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS can also be remarkable, and the trunk already has a good size in the default state to meet the storage of daily items. In addition, the rear seats also support 4/6 ratio reclining, and the rear platform can be basically fully flat, and the space is further expanded. There is also a storage space under the trunk floor, where you can place some inflatable pumps and emergency tire repair tools. If you have to pick out some faults, the trunk is not equipped with a 12V power interface, and the practicality is lacking. However, the left and right sides are equipped with a hook to hang some easy to spill items.
Security: Active/passive security configurations are abundant
In terms of safety configuration, the main/passive safety configuration of the Changan CS75 PLUS top-mounted model in this test drive is very rich. In addition to the conventional main/co-pilot seat airbags, front/rear head air curtains and front side airbags, the car is also equipped with full-speed adaptive cruise system, active braking/active safety system, 360-degree panoramic image, HUD head-up display system, front/rear parking radar, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance system, etc., and the overall configuration belongs to the mainstream level of the same level.
