Nowadays, the competition in the 100,000-level SUV market can be described as more and more fierce, especially independent brands, have increased their efforts in the 100,000-level SUV market, and taken a series of measures to enhance competitiveness, in general, this market is still more popular models, of which the most representative models are Wuling Star and Changan CS55PLUS, the average monthly sales exceeded 10,000 units.
So the question is, what should I choose for the two most popular SUV models of the 100,000 class, Wuling Star and Changan CS55PLUS? To be fair, let's take the 2022 second-generation 1.5T DCT luxury Changan CS55PLUS and the 2021 1.5T CVT Star Edition Wuling Star as an example for you to compare.
Turnip cabbage, each with its own love, has its own characteristics
I believe that many people like a car is from the value of the beginning, that is, the so-called "starting from the value of the face", good-looking models must be able to add a lot of points.
I have to say that after the replacement of Changan CS55PLUS, it has indeed greatly improved its appearance and appearance, which has captured the hearts of young consumers very well. The front face adopts the latest design language of the family, and the borderless grille and chrome elements similar to scales are decorated, which brings a certain visual impact.
Although the side creation is simple, there is no lack of highlights, and the smart shape is matched with smooth lines to create a good sports atmosphere.
Compared with the traditional conservative style of the family before, the design of the stars is much younger and fashionier, and the latest design elements of the family are vividly presented, such as the flying wing type of the middle net and the winged daytime running light group, which add a lot to the design of its front face.
The body seems to be more conventional, but the slender waist line and dynamic wheels have shown a new feeling, which is believed to cater to the aesthetic needs of young consumers.
In terms of personal aesthetics alone, the appearance of Changan CS55PLUS is more dominant, but the design of Wuling Xingchen is not bad, and it also caters to the aesthetics of young users.
The size space is a big duel, and the Wuling Stars are more dominant
What is "beauty with the big"? In layman's terms, the model with large size and large space is more in line with the aesthetic needs of users, and I believe that everyone likes it.
First look at the Changan CS55PLUS, the size parameters are 4500 * 1860 * 1690mm, the wheelbase is 2650mm, the performance of the same level of models can only be said to be average.
Reflected in the space, adults with a height of 175cm sit in the back row, the distance between the legs is almost 2 punches, the distance between the head is also more than 1 punch, and there is no problem with 3 people sitting in the back row, such a space is enough for home use.
On the other hand, Wuling Xingchen, the size parameters are 4594 * 1820 * 1740mm, the wheelbase is 2750mm, compared to the Changan CS55PLUS, in addition to the width of the car slightly inferior, other parameters have absolute advantages.
And reflected in the space is more obvious, the same height of 175cm adults, sitting in the back leg space 2 punches more than 2 punches, head space also has a distance of 2 punches, the back row of 3 people more than enough, and will not feel squeezed, I have to say, the space of Wuling Stars is indeed very "sincere".
Configuration competition, intelligent configuration into the key
On the configuration of this point alone, the same price of domestic cars than the joint venture car thick, this is an indisputable fact, 100,000 domestic SUV, how rich is the configuration? Even equipped with the popular intelligent configuration? I believe that many people have not thought of it.
In terms of configuration, Changan CS55PLUS is more conscientious, like rear radar, reversing image, side blind spot image, fixed speed cruise, engine start and stop, uphill assist, steep slope slow descent, electric sunroof and other basic configurations are equipped.
In terms of intelligent systems, it is equipped with the iFLYTEK Flying Fish 2.0 system, which supports Face ID face recognition technology, with the function of "non-standard behavior prompt", remote control of mobile APP, AI voice interaction, a large number of third-party apps and other functions, and the degree of intelligence can be seen to be unusual.
In contrast, Wuling Star CS55PLUS, the basic configuration of the above Changan CS55PLUS is basically equipped, and on this basis, it is also equipped with 360 ° panoramic images, panoramic sunroofs, interior mood lights, suspension soft and hard adjustment, 9 speakers, etc. It has to be said that such a configuration performance is the strongest in the same level of the same price model.
Wuling Star's intelligent system is also leading the trend, using the Ling OS Lingxi system, the system supports WeChat location sharing, one-click realization of destination presets, daily driving is more convenient, and can easily achieve custom wake words, continuous dialogue, multi-voice commands and other functions.
In addition, this function of the Ling OS Lingxi system is also very useful, with built-in Baidu maps and a team function, when the vehicle joins the team, the user can communicate freely with other members of the group, which is especially useful when traveling in a group.
Price, cost performance dispute, who is more cost-effective?
In the choice of family cars, price and cost performance can be said to be the two points that many consumers value most, and often more cost-effective and cost-effective models are more likely to win the recognition of consumers.
As mentioned at the beginning, the two models we compare today are 2022 the second generation 1.5T DCT luxury Changan CS55PLUS and the 2021 1.5T CVT Star Edition Wuling Xingchen, the guidance price is 106,900 and 99,800 respectively, from the price point of view, Wuling Xingchen is more close to the people, combined with the performance of the above aspects, Wuling Xingchen also has advantages.
Conclusion:
The performance of Changan CS55PLUS and Wuling Xingchen is remarkable, but from the perspective of home cost performance, Wuling Xingchen is more worth choosing, and has absolute advantages in configuration, space and price, showing a relatively high cost performance, and Changan CS55PLUS, although it is not as comprehensive as Wuling Xingchen, but the overall strength is not to be underestimated, especially the appearance of this point, is the type that many young consumers like.
