First, a brief description of the model
In terms of appearance, the 2022 Changan CS75 PLUS has comprehensively upgraded the overall design, especially the optimization of the front face is the most obvious, which is more flamboyant and sporty than the old model. The second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS offers two different intake grilles for consumers to choose from, including v-shaped grilles and dot-matrix grilles, both of which have a good visual impact on the front face. The new car is equipped with a through-type headlight set, which makes the entire front of the car very sporty.

In the rear part, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS features a new shape of through-line taillights and a bilateral four-out exhaust layout to further enhance the sense of sport.
In terms of body color, the 2022 Changan CS75 PLUS also provides 6 kinds of body colors to choose from, namely dazzling white, Andean gray, interstellar blue, noble black, atomic ash and earth brown.
In terms of rims, the 1.5T model all uses 18-inch rims, and the tires are hankook Ventus S1evo3 SUV series, with a size of 225/60 R18. The 2.0T model features 19-inch rims and tires from the Dunlop series, measuring 225/55 R19.
In terms of interior, the most obvious improvement of the 2022 Changan CS75 PLUS compared to the old model is the sense of high-grade, the car uses a large number of soft materials to cover, and the places that can be touched by the hand are soft textures, which greatly enhances the experience of the occupants in the car. Secondly, the new car is equipped with a double 12.3-inch LCD screen, built-in Indus Car Federation TINNOVE Advanced Edition, and equipped with the Indus 3.0R ecosystem, with stronger intelligent interaction capabilities, while the car machine also supports on-board WeChat, greatly improving practicality to meet the needs of young users. In addition, the new car also provides a new generation of IMS intelligent interaction system, Face ID face recognition, W-HUD head-up display technology.
In terms of power, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS offers blue whale's new generation of 1.5T and 2.0T engines with maximum power of 138 kW and 171 kW respectively, and peak torque of 300 Nm and 390 Nm. In terms of transmission, the match will be Aisin's 8-speed manual transmission.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
The second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS entry-level model is a 1.5T luxury version priced at 124,900 yuan, although it is an entry-level model, the configuration is not shabby. First of all, in the internal configuration, it has been equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD and a 12.3-inch central control screen, and also has the Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, and on-board dashcams and mobile phone interconnection; on the external configuration, the entry-level model has been equipped with LED headlight groups, actively closed air intake grilles and open panoramic sunroofs and automatic headlights, which can be said to be rare in the same level. Finally, the safety configuration, the entry-level model is equipped with a 360 panoramic image, front and rear head airbags, as well as uphill assistance and steep slope mitigation functions, it can be said that there is no problem in meeting daily needs. However, as an entry-level model, it is still missing in terms of driving assistance, which is also in line with the positioning of the entry-level version. So if you have a limited budget for a car, the entry-level model is enough to use, but if it is the best choice, we still recommend the 1.5T Pilot.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
Looking at the entire series of models, it is clear that the 1.5T pilot model, which costs 135,900 yuan, is more worthy of recommendation. Compared with the lower level of 1.5T premium, the recommended model is only 0.6 million yuan, but the configuration can be said to have changed qualitatively, especially in the driver assistance and intelligent technology configuration, more comprehensive. First of all, looking at the driving assistance, the recommended models have increased the parallel assist, lane deviation warning and road traffic identification system, in addition to the increase in the reversing car warning function, it can be said that the safety assistance has been very comprehensive. Looking at the level of intelligent technology, the recommended models have increased the HUD digital head-up display system, face recognition and gesture control and other functions compared with the premium version, and the mainstream technology configuration such as adaptive near and far lights has been added to the lighting function, which has improved a grade as a whole. Compared with the recommended models, let's take a look at the 2.0T entry model premium, the price is 0.4 million yuan, in addition to the upgrade to the 2.0T power system, the configuration is much different from the recommended model, and even like mobile phone wireless charging, Bluetooth key and seat heating These 1.5T entry-level models have configurations, which are not seen on this model. So if you don't have a hard requirement for 2.0T power, it is still not recommended to buy this model. If you have a sufficient budget to buy a car and have relatively high requirements for power, you can also consider a higher configuration of the 2.0T pilot model, in addition to the power upgrade, the configuration is basically the same as the recommended model. Therefore, after comprehensive comparison, we still recommend the 1.5T pilot type to you, which is the most comprehensive configuration, the price is relatively appropriate, it is the most cost-effective of the 6 models, it is recommended to give priority when purchasing.
