For many people, the purpose of buying a car is to commute to work or meet the needs of the family, so when choosing a car, they will be more enthusiastic about considering the comfort of the vehicle, fuel consumption and other factors. However, not everyone buys a car just for daily travel, and some people buy a car to start a business in order to pull goods and use the car as a helper to get rich. Then these people are not necessarily suitable for buying Xuanyi, Civic, Haval H6 and other main family models, they will pay more attention to the vehicle's load capacity, retention rate, quality control and so on. And the model we want to talk about today, it is a model that is more inclined to pull goods and help car owners get rich, this car is the Changan Star Card PLUS launched by Changan Kaicheng. The length of the car is more than 5 meters 3, the military industry factory built, 49,900 with Mitsubishi engine, or Aisin transmission.
Before talking about Changan Star Card PLUS, we can briefly analyze the positioning of this car and its car history. Changan Star Card PLUS is positioned as a wide-body powered large micro card, with a strong loading capacity, and is also a model that many entrepreneurs will consider when buying a car. Changan Automobile has actually been entering the micro-card market for some time, such as Changan Star Card, in fact, as early as 10 years ago, it has made achievements in the micro-card market, and the user reputation and market share are good. The Changan Star Card PLUS is a new car in the Changan Star truck series, as a model with its own "PLUS" suffix, the strength of the Changan Star Card PLUS should be stronger.
Although the name of Changan Star Card PLUS comes with a "PLUS" suffix, the pricing of this car is still relatively grounded, and its pricing range is 49,900-63,900, which is quite close to the people in the micro-card market. So, can Changan Star Card PLUS meet the needs of users, and how is its product strength? For this question, we can divide it into several points to answer.
First of all, the first point, power performance. Because most of the micro-card pricing is actually not high, so in order to maintain their own loss, car companies often choose a lower cost of small-displacement self-priming engine, which leads to the power performance of many micro-cards is actually not outstanding, which is also where many consumers are not satisfied with micro-cards. In this regard, the Changan Star Card PLUS is working hard, it is equipped with Mitsubishi Power, providing users with two choices of 1.6L engine and 1.8L engine, and the gearbox chooses a 5-speed manual transmission from Aisin. Among them, the maximum power of the 1.6L engine is 122 hp and the peak torque is 158 Nm; the maximum power of the 1.8L engine is 139 hp, and the peak torque is 180 Nm. The 1.5L engine equipped with brilliance Xinyuan Jinbei T32 has a maximum power of only 102 horsepower, and the performance parameters are indeed inferior to the Changan Star Card PLUS.
Of course, only the parameters are high, and it does not prove that the power of this car is necessarily excellent. In the two engines equipped with the Changan Star Card PLUS, some technologies that can enhance the driving experience are selected. Among them, the 1.6L engine chose Atkinson cycle technology to achieve higher efficiency, and in order to improve fuel economy, this engine also chose to apply wear reduction technologies such as DLC coating to reduce mechanical losses. The 1.8L engine chooses high-flow intake tract + long airway intake manifold technology, which allows the engine to burst out 180 Nm peak torque at 4400rpm, and the engine performance at low speeds is improved by 18%. This point can be combined with the actual scene to interpret, in the face of climbing, some poor road conditions of the non-paved pavement, Changan Star Card PLUS has a stronger low-speed performance, there will be no climbing weakness, lack of power and other issues.
Of course, a qualified microcard is not only good at power, but often has to have a strong performance in terms of loading capacity, and this is the second point we want to talk about - space. Changan Star Card PLUS provides two choices of single-row and double-row, the so-called single-row and double-row, in fact, refers to whether the seat layout is single-row or double-row, that is to say, single-row models tend to have a larger loading space, and double-row models carry more people and can meet the needs of the family.
From the perspective of size, the length of the Car of Changan Star Card PLUS reaches 5360mm, of which the single-layout cargo box size is 3320 *1660*380mm, and the double-layout cargo box size is 2600*1660*380mm, in the same level of models, the cargo box size of Changan Star Card PLUS is the largest car. In addition to size, another important factor affecting the load is whether the material and structure of the steel plate are strong enough. Changan Xingka PLUS chose a 2-vertical 10-horizontal bending frame design, and has 6 pieces of gradient leaf springs, high-strength steel girder frame support, its own structure is more suitable for load pulling goods. At the same time, there are reinforcement ribs inside the cargo box of the car, and the plate material is also relatively thick, which also improves its load capacity, so the single-row model of Changan Star Card PLUS can carry up to 1495KG, and the double-row model has a load of 1190KG.
The third point to talk about is quality. Many people's views on quality are that the quality of this model is good or bad, but in fact, the quality also includes our experience of riding, driving and so on. Changan Star Card PLUS itself has The military quality and technical support of Chang'an, and the quality is relatively strong. At the same time, it is equipped with a 10.2-inch multimedia screen, which is rare in the same class of models, and also provides a reversing image function, so even some novice drivers do not have to worry about reversing or parking. The seat material chooses GMT + non-woven fabric, which can also improve the riding comfort to a certain extent, which shows that the Changan Star Card PLUS is also suitable for home use, and it is commercial and household.
In summary, micro-truck cars are actually more popular in the market at present, for example, in 2021, when the general environment is not optimistic enough, the annual sales of domestic micro-cards are still maintained at more than 600,000 vehicles, which shows that the demand for micro-cards in China is still very large. The Changan Star Card PLUS, which has the three characteristics of "brilliant power, brilliant loading, and brilliant quality", will naturally have certain attractiveness for consumers who want to buy micro-cards.
