As early as around 2019, the domestic voice on "canceling the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city" has been echoed in many provinces, which not only means that pickup truck users can expand their travel space more, but also injects stronger growth potential into pickup truck sales. After two or three years of fermentation, since May last year, the "pickup truck manufacturer wholesale data" has officially entered the database of the association, although the segment has only tens of thousands of units of sales per month, but most brands have maintained valuable positive growth performance.
It is undeniable that in the 100,000-level pickup truck market, the Great Wall Cannon series already has a pivotal position, but in the 60,000-level pickup truck market related to entrepreneurship and people's livelihood, in addition to the Fengjun 5 and Wuling journeys, there are very few products that can be taken, which also indicates that there are greater opportunities in this field. On April 13, Changan Kaicheng F300 was officially launched, injecting new vitality into the 60,000-level pickup truck market.
Previously mentioned "rich weapon", I believe most people will think of Wuling Hongguang. Yes, with a low entry threshold and stable and durable product quality, Wuling Hongguang takes into account the practical performance of pulling people and goods very well; however, the 2-seat version of the manned capacity is not strong, and the 5/7/8-seat model is easily suspected of the situation of "mixed loading of people and goods", which will also make the owner of the car constrained in the process of using the car. In contrast, the pickup truck model not only has a five-seat layout to ensure driving safety while pulling people; it also has an independent cargo bucket, which can well expand the transportation capacity, which is very suitable for young people in the early stage of entrepreneurship.
Of course, in order to further meet the actual needs of users, Changan Kaicheng F300 provides a total of three sizes of models of standard and long shaft, of which the standard shaft version of the length, width and height are 4980 (5080)/1750/1710mm, the wheelbase is 3025mm, the length and width of the long shaft version are 5520/1730/1710mm, the wheelbase is 3380mm, and the cargo volume of the two is 1500×1415×480mm, 2020×1465 × 400mm, while the cargo hopper can also achieve full opening on three sides, while enhancing the efficiency of transportation, the handling of goods will become more convenient.
Coming to the interior, unlike the "simple style" given by the previous compact pickup truck, the Changan Kaicheng F300 added metal brushing and black piano paint decoration to the center console and door panel, weakening the overall plastic feeling; at the same time, the addition of black/brown leather seats made the visual and tactile senses better. In addition, the whole series is also equipped with manual air conditioning, front and rear power windows and other common functions, even for daily home use, it will not disappoint at all.
As for the styling design, Changan Kaicheng F300 focuses on a simple and practical style, and the front lip and wheel brow of the whole car have been added to the trim wrapping, which can effectively avoid the rubbing in the process of using the car, at the same time, the blackened mesh grille and the car stickers on the side have also enhanced the fashion sense of the whole car. If you look at the aesthetics of family cars, it may be difficult to stand out, but from the perspective of "tool cars", Changan Kaicheng F300 has many highlights.
In terms of size data and static performance, Changan Kaicheng F300 is remarkable, but if you want to link with the "Dora Run" to get rich, the power performance also has to be mentioned. In terms of power, Changan Kaicheng F300 matches the power combination of 1.5L+5MT, with a maximum horsepower of 116Ps and a maximum torque of 150N·m, and the data performance is slightly better than that of Wuling Hongguang. In addition, the whole vehicle also adopts the drive form of the rear drive, and adopts the independent suspension of the front double wishbone coil spring and the rear 3+2 thickened gradient stiffness spring suspension, which better balances the comfort, handling and loading capacity of the whole vehicle.
Conclusion: Finally, let's talk about the price of a new car. Changan Kaicheng F300 provides a total of four configuration models in the whole series, and the official guidance price is 60,900-63,900 yuan, which is the same as the rest of the models, and provides some preferential policies at the beginning of the listing. From the price point of view alone, the new car is about 10,000 yuan higher than the price of Wuling Hongguang, but for users who pursue stronger power and pay attention to pulling people and goods, Changan Kaicheng F300 is more attractive than vans, and this is also an important breakthrough in its best-selling. No wonder netizens directly called: compact pickup truck "rolled up", and Wuling Hongguang or something.
