Co-oilable, electric and hydrogen, Changan deep blue C385 real car debut, competing BYD seals

Deep Blue is a new brand released by Changan Automobile on April 13 this year, from the perspective of brand positioning, it is lower-end than Aevita Technology, and Changan Deep Blue is mainly for the market of 150,000-300,000 yuan, focusing on the market of misplaced competition. Recently, the first model of Changan Deep Blue, the deep blue C385, has also been officially unveiled, and according to the plan, the new car will be officially listed in the second quarter and will be delivered in August at the latest, so it is also worth looking forward to. Without further ado, talk to the old driver right away to find out.

First of all, in terms of styling, the old driver saw the progress of Changan Automobile in styling design, and also separated from the face of Changan CS and UNI series families, using a new design language, after all, the new brand is also a new energy vehicle, and it must be different. The overall look is the more popular design at present, such as slender headlight sets, hatchback shapes, frameless doors, hidden door handles, through-type taillights, etc., combining so many popular elements of the public, it has become unpopular.

I think the design of the rear is very recognizable, and the raised brake lights on the trunk cover also make it look full of personality, and it is a bit of a mech style. For pure electric vehicles, reducing the wind resistance coefficient has a certain help in improving the endurance, and the Changan C385 wind resistance coefficient of 0.23Cd is very dominant in the same class of models.

In terms of body color, Changan Deep Blue C385 provides two choices of metallic paint and matte paint, of which metallic paint includes Star Mine Black, Comet White, Moon Rock Grey, Nebula Blue, Tianhe Blue Color Matching, while Matt Paint includes Matte Comet White, Matt Moon Rock Grey, Matte Sky River Blue optional, I think slightly younger consumers will be more inclined to matte, including me.

In terms of size, the Navy C385 is 4820/1890/1480mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which is between the Tesla Model 3 and the Xiaopeng P7. According to the data released by Changan Automobile, the height ratio of The Changan C385 is 0.78 and the shaft length ratio is 0.6.

In terms of interior, the center console of the new car is simple and three-dimensional, using a separate screen with front and rear intervals, and the specific size of the dashboard is not yet known, but it is also quite large. The suspension central control screen measures 14.6 inches and has a 15° rotation function, which can also be regarded as meeting the needs of consumers of different sizes. The two-frame flat-bottom steering wheel is very chic and feels a bit like the touchpad in the middle of the PS5 remote sensing handle.

The armrest area below the central control screen is equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging panel, the armrest is designed with upper and lower layers, and the co-pilot side center console has a dot matrix atmosphere light. In addition, its seats are designed with a focus on leg support, which is expected to provide a more comfortable driving experience.

The new car is based on the new pure electric platform of EPA1, positioning the intermediate coupe and providing three power options. The comprehensive cruising range of the pure electric version can reach more than 700km, the maximum power can reach more than 190kW, the power consumption under comprehensive working conditions is less than 12.3kWh/100km, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is the fastest 5.9s; the extended range version has a comprehensive cruising range of more than 1200km, a pure electric endurance of more than 200km, and the fuel consumption of the feeder is less than 4.5L/100km; the hydrogen fuel cell version has a comprehensive endurance of more than 700km, and the hydrogen consumption of the feeder is as low as 0.65kg/100km, and the rapid replenishment of energy in 3 minutes.

It is reported that the 8155 chip equipped with Changan C385 has 105K DMIPS computing power, the future can achieve L4 level intelligent driving, support intelligent auxiliary driving from point A to point B under the navigation path of high-precision map, the use of scenarios include automatic lane change, up and down ramps, etc.; in the structured parking lot, we can achieve parking and remote driving according to the memory path, and can also realize automatic parking and remote driving based on high-precision maps, which we have tested on Xiaopeng P5, which is currently only suitable for showmanship. I hope that the user experience after this feature upgrade will be better in the future.

Competitive product analysis: That combined with brand positioning, size, power endurance and price, the future market of Changan Deep Blue C385 will be 200,000-300,000 yuan pure electric family car market, and there are still many future opponents, such as Xiaopeng P7, BYD Han EV, BYD Model 3, etc. I feel that Changan Deep Blue C385 will have an advantage in price and endurance.

Old driver hot comment: The arrival of Changan Deep Blue C385 is one of the real pioneers in the field of Changan New Energy, so Changan Deep Blue C385 has very important strategic significance for Changan Automobile. According to the information currently released, the product power of the new car is still there, especially to provide pure electricity, extended range and hydrogen power three kinds of power options, but also more suitable for the future market environment, of course, the more environmentally friendly models, the price will definitely be higher. But after all, the current domestic hydrogen refueling station does not have many charging piles, so if you are interested in Changan Deep Blue C385, pure electricity or extended range version will be easier to meet the daily commuting car scene.
