Changan Auchan achieved good results in 2021, breaking through 210,000 vehicle sales in the first 11 months, surpassing 153,000 vehicles in 2020, and also refreshing the latest record of the Auchan brand. At present, Auchan's two major sales forces are nothing more than Auchan X5 and Auchan X7, but if you want to challenge higher performance, the product camp is still not strong enough. Recently, Changan Auchan announced a new model Z6, can it make the brand go to a higher level this year?
Auchan Z6 is the first model of the Z series, but also uses a different edge aesthetic style from Auchan X5 X7, the front grille is the more popular borderless design at present, the internal three-dimensional design visual perception looks very unique, very organic A-style taste, and can change different effects under the light and shadow.
Auchan Z6 headlights use a split design, the top led daytime lights shape narrow and sharp, with the bottom of the two sides of the triangle area, the overall look is very murderous, the front of the line cut sense is very strong, the bottom front lip also shows a strong sense of movement. The real-life vehicle has blue chrome decoration in some details, representing the new energy identity of the car.
The design of the side is also extremely personalized, the upper waist line is tall and slender to make the vehicle look more powerful, and the lower waist line outlines a strong three-dimensional sense. In addition, the installation of privacy glass and the bright black BCD column not only create a suspended roof effect, but also more advanced.
The rear of the car is richly layered by multiple horizontal lines and appears to be concave and convex. The two hook-shaped taillights are sharp, echoing the design of the front of the car to some extent. The two-sided four-out circular exhaust vents are full of movement, and the two-piece spoiler design and the center pilot light are also more performance car flavor, these details also seem to indicate that this car has a strong power. In addition, the words Z6 IDD are displayed in the lower right of the rear of the real-life vehicle, indicating that it will be equipped with the Changan Blue Whale IDD hybrid system.
The interior information has not yet been exposed, but according to the manufacturer, it will provide a 10.25-inch dashboard + 12.3-inch central control large screen, as well as a 9.1-inch small European screen, it seems that the sense of technology and intelligence will have a high degree of surprise. In terms of size, the new car is 4699/1890/1660 mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2795 mm, which is slightly smaller than the Auchan X7 size and is still positioned in the compact SUV level, but this data is already at the first-class level in the same class, especially the large wheelbase of 2795mm, which can create a good legroom.
In terms of power, Auchan Z6 will provide 1.5T + 7-speed dual clutch, 2.0T + 8AT fuel, and blue whale IDD plug-in three versions, of which the maximum horsepower of the fuel model is 188Ps, 233Ps, the peak torque is 300 Nm, 390 Nm, and the Blue Whale IDD plug-in hybrid is composed of 1.5T engine + electric motor, pure electric endurance of 150 km, zero hundred acceleration time of 7.6S. However, the strongest performance should be 2.0T fuel model, zero hundred acceleration time can break through to 6 seconds, from the performance point of view, the current compact SUV field is difficult to have more than it can play the model.
Overall, Auchan Z6 will be the competitiveness of the brand to a higher level, the probability of Auchan Z6 will be higher than the X series positioning, may be higher than the price of the latter, but auchan brand has always pursued high cost performance, should not be high to where to go, if the price is appropriate, perhaps Z6 will become the brand's new explosive model.
