For Potential SUV customers in China, landing 150,000 yuan is a watershed moment, which can not only touch the entry-level of small SUVs of joint venture brands such as XR-V and Qashqai, but also start the top-level models of first-line Chinese brand compact SUV. Faced with so many products, how can you choose the right one for you? Today, we select the new Roewe RX5 PLUS and Changan CS75 PLUS two market-selling models to compare, to see who is the 150,000-class most worth buying SUV?
Exterior styling:
The new Roewe RX5 PLUS is the first model to adopt Roewe's digital design concepts of "Emerging Aesthetics" and "Digital Rhythm", interpreting "National Roewe" with a digital design language. The design of the whole vehicle is sporty, modern, full of passion and vitality, which is very much in line with the aesthetics of young consumers today. The large front-sized grille extends from the bonnet to the front surround, occupying almost the entire front face, making the front face look domineering, and the fine decorative texture inside the grille also enhances the luxury of the front face. The yellow strip above the grille and the carbon fibre trim are the finishing touches to the front face, enhancing the visual center of gravity of the front face. Compared with the sci-fi style of CS75 PLUS, the new Roewe RX5 PLUS is more suitable for consumers of different ages.
As a mid-term redesign, the second-generation Changan CS75PLUS also adopts a larger forward grille, which is somewhat similar to the borderless design language of the Changan UNI series, and the narrow light strip plus the trim panels that run through the middle net create a squinting feeling. The towering intake trims on both sides have a bit of a buzzing smell. Dark gold detail decoration and more straight lines have obviously made the previous domineering have been reduced, and the front face of the CS75 PLUS is more low-key and pragmatic overall, perhaps more popular with consumers in the middle and high age groups.
In the detail part, the bright yellow trim strip above the intake grille connects the headlights on both sides, and the square blade-like shape on the trim adds a hint of murder to the headlights. In terms of configuration, the new Roewe RX5 PLUS is equipped with high-energy matrix LED headlights from the smart version, and the illumination range and brightness are better than ordinary LED headlights, and the configuration is more generous in the case of lower guidance price.
The second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS also adopts a penetrating design style, the net trim strip is connected with the headlights, it is worth mentioning that the shape of the central light strip is no longer single, in addition to the upper light strip also has a decorative texture to embellish, which enhances the exquisite sense of the front face, but the too narrow and long light group shape makes the front face have a squinting feeling, missing some aura.
In the rear part of the car, the new Roewe RX5PLUS tail has a rich sense of layering, and the more extended surface design interprets the "emergent aesthetics" and "digital rhythm" design language well. The polyline under the trunk cleverly enhances the visual center of gravity of the rear encirclement, making the tail overall quite thick. The taillight shape is inspired by the high-speed cruise of the energy block, and the end of the light group is finished with progressive arrow elements, which echo the design concept in detail, and is also equipped with the popular double tail design style, which further highlights the movement gene. The new Roewe RX5 PLUS has a length, width and height of 4571/1855/1719mm and a wheelbase of 2708mm, which is a medium-to-upper body in its class.
The rear of the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS and the new Roewe RX5 PLUS present a different style, the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS has a slightly weaker sense of rear layering, more is a straight profile design, compared to the new Roewe RX5 PLUS is slightly ordinary, but it is a durable type. The highlight of the rear is the through-type taillights, but the flame-like effect inside is very realistic, and the details are more exquisite. The recognizable rear spoiler above the rear wing and the high brake lights are also a continuation of the old model. As for the body size, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS is 4700/1865/1710mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2710mm, which is comparable to the new Roewe RX5 PLUS, but the longer body size may feel a little inconvenient when parking in urban environments.
Interior section:
The new Roewe RX5PLUS interior design is based on the brand design philosophy of "giving space to emotion, giving intelligence to emotional intelligence", with the bright yellow flat line inside the center console, presenting users with a beautiful oriental linear aesthetic, and striving to let users start from the visual, tactile and other multi-sensory, to create an immersive experience effect of photoelectric dance and multi-sensor linkage, showing the understanding of future cars and emotional intelligent cockpits, and meeting the needs of users for highly emotional and highly intelligent car use scenarios.
The interior style of the second generation Ofan CS75PLUS is more sci-fi, the surround cockpit is very friendly to the driver, and the center console has added a one-piece air outlet design, but the lower position is easy to blow the driver's body directly, and in the summer long-term opening of the refrigeration will blow directly to the abdomen, which is easy to cause physical discomfort. The piano paint material on the steering wheel is more advanced than the steering wheel of the new Roewe RX5 PLUS, and the touch-like design enhances the luxurious texture of the interior. In addition, the D-shaped flat-bottom steering wheel keeps up with the trend of the times, giving the interior a more sporty atmosphere.
The new Roewe RX5PLUS has been equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument since the manual Guochao Smart Edition of 103,800 yuan, with high display effects and content richness, while the cool background under various themes has once again brought users a futuristic smart cockpit experience.
The second generation of Changan CS75PLUS also uses a 12.3-inch LCD instrument, the display effect is comparable to the new Roewe RX5PLUS, and the driving information richness is also quite high, but the UI design of the instrument interface lacks some sense of technology compared to the new Roewe RX5 PLUS, which feels more simple but not cool.
The new Roewe RX5PLUS system is equipped with the largest 14.1-inch intelligent cockpit system in the same class, the curved central control screen adopts a 2.5D fully laminated glass panel, built-in Venus intelligent on-board system, and adopts MediaTek MTK five-core system-level chip, with a 44% increase in computing power, with more abundant in-vehicle entertainment and mini programs and other service applications, bringing users a more intelligent and convenient travel experience. The larger screen size also makes it easier for the owner to read the vehicle information and operate the interior configuration of the car while driving, resulting in better safety.
The second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS series is only equipped with a 12.3-inch central control display, the screen size is inferior to the new Roewe RX5 PLUS, equipped with the Wutong car connection system. From the use of the feeling is relatively smooth, the UI interface is mainly concise and convenient, functional support for the Internet of Vehicles, navigation, voice control, as well as a wealth of app stores. Through voice control, users can realize information query, foreign language translation, window opening/skylight ventilation and other functions.
In addition, compared with the second generation of Changan CS75PLUS, the Internet car Venus intelligent system equipped with the new Roewe RX5 PLUS has a stronger advantage in continuous dialogue, and the members of the car can even interrupt at any time to switch new topics, avoid the frustration of use caused by repeated awakening, and bring users a stronger scientific and technological experience. In addition, the Venus intelligent system has built-in Tmall Genie, so on the new Roewe RX5 PLUS, you can control the smart furniture appliances in your home through the AI voice interaction in the system, to achieve seamless cross-border connection, and truly connect the home and the car.
The second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS car machine system UI interface has more color elements, and the fluency can be satisfactory. Functional support gesture control, IMS intelligent interaction system and car WeChat and other functions, some of the functions are stronger than the new Roewe RX5 PLUS, in addition to the multiple cameras in the car to bring about a functional improvement also greatly increased the convenience, tracking and reversing and child mode for novices and drivers traveling with children is also a very practical function, but the continuous wake-up function of the whole system is not as convenient as the new Roewe RX5 PLUS.
In terms of seats, the new Roewe RX5PLUS is more sincere, starting with leather material seats, the feel is excellent, and the high-end model also adds fur materials, and the sense of grade is further improved. The front row is equipped with seat heating, and the rear row supports backrest angle adjustment and 4/6 reclining, which is even more practical.
The second-generation Changan CS75PLUS all series of seats use one-piece seats made of imitation leather, and high-end models also support seat heating. Although the one-piece seat is more sporty, the actual use of the head varies from person to person, and it may not be possible to obtain a comfortable driving position. At the same time, the main driver of the 1.5T model is not equipped with waist support, which is easy to cause the driver's waist fatigue when driving long distances.
Power part:
The new Roewe RX5 PLUS is equipped with the second generation of Blue Core 1.5T high-power turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 133kW, a peak torque of 285N·m, and integrated Honeywell high-flow supercharger, high-flow liquid cooling system, high-strength cylinder block and other cutting-edge technologies, compared with the old model, power and torque have been improved. The initial response and peak acceleration of the new Roewe RX5 PLUS are overall ahead of the same class, giving the driver the confidence to drive with ease.
The second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS1.5T model upgrades the new generation of Blue Whale NE 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 138kW and a peak torque of 300N·m, which is 7kW and 35N·m higher than the current 1.5T version. However, in reality, many car owners on the Internet reflect the problem of Changan Power's false standard, so its real actual test drive feels how the bottom is, and it still needs the feedback of many car owners.
In terms of drivetrain, the new Roewe RX5PLUS uses the world's first three-chamber honeycomb technology 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Among them, the special gear oil in the gear cavity can minimize engine noise and increase the NVH level, and the ultra-low viscosity clutch oil in the clutch cavity minimizes the towing torque of the clutch. At the same time, the independent lubrication scheme of hydraulic module, gearbox and clutch also makes the hydraulic oil viscosity of the new car gearbox the lowest in the current mainstream products, making the response safer.
The new gearbox comprehensively improves the smoothness, transmission efficiency and durability, not only smoothing the gear change process to the end, but also optimizing the power loss during the upshift process, so that it has a driving experience that is not inferior to the AT gearbox.
The second-generation Changan CS75PLUS Aisin 8AT is very gentle in most of the daily shift action, excellent smoothness also allows the driver to better control the vehicle, improve driving comfort, when you want to overtake, it will also quickly downshift to cooperate with you. But when the uphill throttle, this 8AT gearbox is not friendly to the break, this gearbox has been in service with the Changan CS75 PLUS for 3 years, Changan still did not adjust the engine and the gearbox to the most perfect stage, a little regret.
Cost of using a car:
According to the introduction of Roewe's official website, now buy the new Roewe RX5 PLUS model, you can enjoy many car owners' rights, of which the lifetime original vehicle warranty also shows consumers Roewe's confidence in the hard power of its own products. Coupled with the high-quality after-sales policy of lifelong free basic maintenance, it directly saves a large amount of cost for consumers' follow-up car costs, and also dispels consumers' various doubts in after-sales. At the same time, taking the Beijing area as an example, the purchase of the new Roewe RX5 PLUS model in the offline terminal store can also enjoy a cash discount of 8,000 yuan, which directly lowers the entry threshold of the new Roewe RX5 PLUS and helps consumers realize their "car dream".
In contrast, the second generation of Changan CS75PLUS, according to its official website, the current purchase of only 4,000 yuan replacement subsidies and down payment of 20% of the preferential policy, and the new Roewe RX5 PLUS quite sincere preferential policy in stark contrast, and the Beijing area offline stores only have a "chat to express their hearts" of 2,000 yuan cash discount, invisibly more consumers will be turned away.
Summary:
The second-generation Changan CS75PLUS and the new Roewe RX5 PLUS as the backbone of the two brands, the two sides in the market attention and sales performance is almost comparable. Through the comparison of the two models, it is not difficult to find that the new Roewe RX5 PLUS with a stronger sense of technology is slightly better than the second-generation Changan CS75PLUS in terms of design, technology configuration and driving experience. Both models are highly overlapping in the price range of 150,000 yuan, which to a certain extent also highlights the ultra-high quality-price ratio of the new Roewe RX5 PLUS. If you pay more attention to the quality-price ratio, technology and fun driving experience, I believe that the new Roewe RX5PLUS will be your better choice.
