When it comes to the rookies of 100,000-level SUVs, the three major brands of Wuling, Changan and Changan Auchan are probably difficult to avoid. After all, from the perspective of market performance, their stars, second-generation CS55 PLUS and Auchan X5 sales are not low, and they are also the first choice for many young people to consider SUVs with a budget of about 100,000. So, if you put these three cars together, what kind of spark will be wiped out? Today, we may wish to compare the waves and see how their products perform?
Price comparison
Considering that young consumers generally prefer powerful models in small displacement engines, we have also skipped self-priming models here. After screening, the guidance price of Wuling Star is 69,800-99,800 yuan, the second-generation Changan CS55 PLUS is 106,900-12.19 million yuan, and the guidance price of Auchan X5 1.5T model is 8.19-10.79 million yuan. From a horizontal evaluation point of view, Xingchen still carries forward the consistent high cost performance of Wuling in the overall pricing, and the pricing of Auchan X5 is decent, but the pricing of the second-generation CS55 PLUS is actually still a bit high.
Face value comparison
(Wuling Star)
(2nd Generation CS55 PLUS)
(Auchan X5)
As usual, first talk about Wuling Xingchen, under the outline of the "Wing Movement Aesthetics" family design language, Xingchen does present a very different Wuling to everyone, because of its sense of design, exquisiteness and youthful tonality, all of which are remarkable. The second generation of Changan CS55 PLUS is almost a tribute to CS75 PLUS in appearance, the visual effect is not bad, and the design style is also the mainstream scientific and technological sports style. The Changan Auchan X5 is obviously sharp, because of its appearance, its sense of line is sharper, and the specific intake grille also stimulates your visual nerves. But when it comes to who has a higher appearance, I think there is no unified standard, after all, aesthetics and style have always been a matter of opinion.
Configuration comparison
Configuring this piece, considering that there is a certain disparity in the price of the three cars, so here we take the naked car price of 100,000 yuan as the standard. At this price, The Stars and Auchan X5 can all be on the top, and the top of these two cars has also been given to 360-degree ring shadow, main driver electric seat, intelligent network connection system, LED light group, automatic air conditioning, etc. In addition, the top star also has 256 color mood lights, keyless entry in the front row (Auchan X5 only the driver's seat is very high) / Bluetooth key, in the seat material, the car is also all leather (Auchan X5 is a leather/fabric mix).
In contrast, the budget can only buy the second-generation CS55 PLUS entry-level model, so in the overall configuration, the car is not as bright as the top of the star. But if the budget is sufficient to reach the top of the second-generation CS55 PLUS, the configuration of all aspects is still very fragrant, such as wireless charging of front-row mobile phones, power seats with heating, atmosphere lights, 540 ° panoramic images, etc., have been given.
Power comparison
In terms of power, the three models with T power are equipped with 1.5T turbocharged engines, the power parameters of The Star are 147Ps/250N·m, the power parameters of the second-generation CS55 PLUS are 188Ps/300N·m, and the power parameters of the Auchan X5 are 180Ps/300N·m. In terms of acceleration response, the acceleration time of the 100 kilometers of the stars is more than 9 seconds, and the other two cars are running into 9 seconds. Of course, this is also reasonable, because the two SUVs of the Chang'an series use Blue Whale engines, which are stronger than Xingchen in power output, and the dual-clutch transmission will be more flexible and active than the CVT. However, Xingchen's power has more advantages in fuel economy, stability and reliability.
Ride space comparison
Spatially, all three models are positioned as compact SUVs, and their respective body sizes are shown in the table. I believe that when you see their body length, width and wheelbase, the psychology has quietly had a ranking order. Yes, in this regard, Wuling Star can be said to have an absolute advantage, just like the second generation CS55 PLUS and Auchan X5 are more advanced in power. Because in the measured performance of the second row of seats, the test occupants with a height of 178cm sat in the car separately, and after the front row was adjusted to the appropriate driving position, the rear legroom margin of the star could be nearly two and a half punches, and the second generation of Changan CS55 PLUS and Auchan X5 were both one punch and four fingers.
Editor's comments: It can be seen that as rookies in 100,000 SUV players, their performance in terms of product strength and cost performance has shown the appearance of a new generation of SUVs. For example, in terms of design, everyone has thrown off the rules, become more athletic, personalized, and understand what post-90s and post-00s consumers like. In terms of power, the CS55 PLUS and Auchan X5 power belt T models do have more advantages than the stars; but combined with the configuration of the same price point and the practicality of the space, the overall score of Wuling Stars is not low.
So, if you ask me how to choose these three cars? Personally, I think that if you are a young man who has just stepped into society and buys a car for your own happiness, the more powerful Auchan X5 and CS55 PLUS should be more suitable for your car scene. However, if you have to consider comprehensively in terms of cost performance, configuration, practicality and other aspects, and you also need a certain amount of home space in the follow-up, it is obvious that the relatively balanced Wuling Stars understand you best.
