The field of compact SUVs of Chinese brands has always been a popular market for Chinese people to buy family cars, and Haval H6 is a well-deserved sales champion in this market, which also makes the Changan CS75 PLUS, which is very close to the strength of the product, often only in the position of accompanying the run. Of course, Changan CS75 PLUS did not sit still, as the Haval H6 continues to innovate, Changan also listed the second generation of CS75 PLUS this year. And the new car has also achieved remarkable results in sales, leading the Haval H6 by about 3,000 units last month, which can be said to have broken the title of "millennium old two" in one fell swoop. So, let's take a look at how the Changan CS75 PLUS surpasses the Haval H6 today.
Space, configuration is similar, rely on power to decide the winner or loser?
The reason why Changan CS75 PLUS has made rapid progress in March may be inseparable from the upgrading of the product strength of the new generation of models. Compared with the third-generation Haval H6, the appearance of the haval H6 is stable and changeable, and the design of the trapezoidal grille and hidden tail row on the old model is still maintained. The second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS face value changes are more bold, the new "V" type and dot matrix grille, through-type taillights and other designs, have brought a completely different visual experience from before, if the original worry about the CS75 PLUS shape is too traditional, then the new model can undoubtedly dispel this concern.
In addition, although the Changan CS75 PLUS has a "PLUS" suffix, the second-generation model does have a slight increase in body length, but compared with the third-generation Haval H6 after the fully upgraded size, the CS75 PLUS does not seem to have an advantage in other aspects except the length. However, in the wheelbase that affects the passenger space in the car, the gap between the two cars is only 28mm, so the actual space experience is basically comparable.
In addition to the design upgrade and the optimization of the interior, the biggest highlight of the Changan CS75 PLUS upgrade is in terms of power. The new CS75 PLUS is equipped with the blue whale's new generation of 1.5T/2.0T engine, the maximum horsepower is 188 horses, 233 horses, respectively, in terms of power parameters, it is undoubtedly better than the Haval H6's maximum 169 horsepower of 1.5T, or the maximum 211 horsepower of 2.0T. In addition, the 8AT gearbox equipped with the second-generation CS75 PLUS series, compared with the 7DCT gearbox of the Haval H6, not only achieves smoother and faster gear changes, but also brings less vibration and running noise.
But for more than 100,000 yuan of household SUVs such as Changan CS75 PLUS and Haval H6, the volume is basically based on 1.5T models, and power is naturally not the focus of consumer attention, fuel saving is. After the replacement of the Haval H6, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the NEDC of the 1.5T is 6.6L/100km, while the CS75 PLUS is also under the NEDC standard, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the 1.5T model is only 6.4L/100km, which is not much different from the Haval H6. It can be seen that the actual fuel consumption of the two vehicles is also at the same level.
In terms of configuration, take the "2022 second-generation 1.5T automatic luxury" of Changan CS75 PLUS and the "2021 third-generation 1.5T automatic two-wheel drive Pro" with the best sales of Haval H6.
It can be found that the configuration level difference between the Changan CS75 PLUS and the Haval H6 is small, but the focus is different. Changan CS75 PLUS on the extra dual screen, driving recorder and sports style seats and other functions, obviously more sporty and scientific and technological, may be more attractive to young people; while Haval H6 has front seat heating, remote start and road call rescue and other functions, the convenience and comfort of the car are improved a lot, comprehensive comparison, the two cars can be said to have their own advantages.
As for the terminal market situation, in terms of taking away the volume model, the guidance price of the Changan CS75 PLUS luxury model is 124,900 yuan, which is 2,000 yuan higher than the two-wheel drive Pro of the Haval H6. Although the price difference is not much, but according to the terminal price, Changan CS75 PLUS currently has no discount in the entire series, and Haval H6 is currently a few thousand yuan of terminal discounts, plus some hard car purchase costs, Changan CS75 PLUS automatic luxury type landing price is almost in the early 140,000 yuan, and Haval H6's automatic two-wheel drive Pro only needs 130,000 yuan, the actual terminal price difference of the two cars is nearly 10,000 yuan, it can be seen that Changan CS75 PLUS does not have an advantage in terms of price. In addition, in terms of vehicle source, the current situation of Changan CS75 PLUS is similar to that of Haval H6, which has eased up a lot compared with before, and basically after the booking, the existing car can be mentioned.
Finally, let's take a look at the maintenance of the two cars and the information of the used car
Since it is a family SUV, it is natural to ignore the cost of two cars, considering that the Changan CS75 PLUS and Haval H6 fuel consumption are close, the most able to open the gap may be in the maintenance cost. According to the information we learned, the first insurance of Changan CS75 PLUS is carried out at 5000 kilometers, the subsequent maintenance interval is 7500 kilometers, the price of small maintenance such as replacing the oil machine filter is about 300 yuan, and the total conventional maintenance cost required after three years away from driving 60000 kilometers is about 4000 yuan, and the average annual is about 1300 yuan.
The Haval H6 is maintained every 6,000 kilometers or 6 months, the cost of small maintenance is about 500 yuan, and the total conventional maintenance cost after three years of driving 60,000 kilometers is almost to more than 9,000 yuan, and the average annual is about 3,000 yuan. It can be seen that due to the relatively longer maintenance cycle and the cheaper price of accessories, Changan CS75 PLUS is more cost-saving and worry-free than Haval H6 in the later period.
As for second-hand cars, it is learned from a mainstream second-hand car platform that for The "2020 1.5T Automatic Luxury Type" of Changan CS75 PLUS, which was listed in January 2020, the landing price at that time should be about 140,000 yuan, and after more than two years of running 25,000 kilometers, the current residual value of second-hand cars is 105,600 yuan.
The Haval H6 "2021 1.5GDIT Automatic Deluxe Edition", a few months later than the second-hand CS75 PLUS on the card time, the landing price is about 130,000 yuan, after nearly a year and a half of driving 14,000 kilometers, the current second-hand car price is 99,800 yuan. Considering the age of the car, the mileage and other factors, the retention rate of the two cars is basically equal.
summary
In general, the product strength of Changan CS75 PLUS and Haval H6 is basically difficult to open the gap. However, as far as the two-car 1.5T model is concerned, after the new upgrade, the Changan CS75 PLUS equipped with an 8AT gearbox may have a competitive advantage, which is well confirmed by the sales performance in March. Of course, in the hot compact SUV market, it is presumable that the two cars will still play a "you chase me" state in the future.
