Compared with the second-generation CS75PLUS of the current model, a number of upgrades have been made in terms of appearance and interior design, and the aisin 8AT gearbox is equipped as standard in the whole series, and the comprehensive competitiveness is further improved. So in addition to the standard 8AT, what are the specific changes of the second-generation Changan CS75PLUS?
First of all, the shape, see the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS, some people may think that the change is not particularly obvious, this is actually very easy to understand, a model that can now rank second in the SUV sales list, need to change dramatically? The intention of the Changan design team is also obvious, inheritance and advancement, is an important concept for the design of the second generation of Changan CS75PLUS.
The inheritance of the part does not need to say more, the advanced part is first of all the shape, the second generation of CS75PLUS provides a straight waterfall shape and a dot matrix modeling of the two styles of grille optional, the dot matrix grille is optimized according to the current model, and the straight waterfall grille is quite exquisite, it is deformed from the Changan LOGO, the angle of the grille is 46.7 degrees, which is the number of angles of the Chang'an LOGO, and it is also the degree of the intersection of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River in Chongqing.
There is also a relatively big change from the headlights, the headlights are composed of 11 high-performance LEDs, the through-line streamer front lamp is composed of 61 LED lights, and the tail lights use a full LED light source through-type design, which is composed of 62 +132+62 ultra-red LED, and strives to create a sense of high-grade in the lighting effect.
In addition to these changes, the second generation of Changan CS75PLUS also put effort into many details, such as the side fender decoration, the use of bilateral double-row exhaust pipe design, fighter tail shape and other designs, these details can be seen that the designer is not lazy.
Entering the car, the second generation of Changan CS75PLUS in the continuation of the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and 12.3-inch suspension central control screen formed by the dual screen and through-type air conditioning air outlet design and other classic shapes, the steering wheel also adopted a new design, the center console under the also been re-optimized, the interior design is more humane, just look at the workmanship and materials will even make people mistakenly think that this is a 400,000-level high-end model.
Needless to say, the new generation of IMS intelligent interaction system, APA5.0 + remote control valet parking system, W-HUD head-up display, etc., you can imagine a variety of humanized configurations and active and passive security configurations are readily available.
In terms of power, the biggest surprise is that the whole series is equipped with an 8AT gearbox as standard, and the second-generation CS75PLUS is equipped with two different power versions of the Blue Whale new generation NE1.5T and the Blue Whale new generation 2.0T. The maximum power of the 1.5T model is 138 kW, the maximum torque is 300 N·m, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 6.4L/100 km; the maximum power of the 2.0T model is 171 kW, and the maximum torque is 390 N·m.
Previously experienced the 1.5T model, to be honest 1.5T model power is not strong, the most profound impression is comfortable and smooth, to meet the needs of daily use of the car is more than enough, and this time experienced a 2.0T model to really appreciate what is called the ease, especially in the high-speed road conditions when overtaking confidence doubled, the throttle will find out how quickly the 8AT gearbox downshift response, even in the Panshan Road can also be a small steel cannon to split, 1.5T, 2.0T two kinds of power bring you two different driving experiences.
Write at the end
Why did the 2022 CS75PLUS launch the second generation of CS75PLUS shortly after? Because this model is too important for Changan, it cannot be allowed to slip away.
Looking at the January sales data, Changan's Chinese brand passenger car sales were 158,625 units, an increase of 3.39% year-on-year, Changan Blue Whale family series sales exceeded 130,000 units, but fell by 7.14% year-on-year, and Changan CS75 series and CS55 series both exceeded 30,000 units, which is also the main contributor to Changan's slight growth.
Unlike BYD's full blossoming, Changan Automobile relies too much on the CS75 series and CS55 series, and the combined sales of the two UNI series cars that have high hopes are only 12,047, which obviously does not meet Changan's expectations.
Therefore, Changan CS75PLUS must always maintain a strong competitiveness in order to stabilize the runner-up position in the current SUV sales list, which is why the 2022 model that has just launched 16 upgrades is an important reason why the second-generation model with a number of upgrades such as the standard 8AT has been launched in a hurry.
According to such a speed of replacement, The Changan CS75 series may continue to maintain the strength of competing with the Haval H6, which is not a long-term solution after all, and how to quickly find new sales growth points is a problem in front of Changan.
