Test drive the third generation Chang'an CS55 PLUS

Now the 100000-class household SUV market has become more and more popular, with not only joint venture veterans, but also a number of independent leaders, such as Changan CS55 PLUS, which has won the love of 800000 consumers since its listing.

In September, the third generation of Chang'an CS55 PLUS went on sale, streamlined the configuration of the model, and further optimized the new car. In addition to the pro-people price, 15 items of quality were improved, which can be said to be an addition without an increase in price.

Although the official guidance price of the third-generation Changan CS55 PLUS is only 9.99-15,563 USD, as a domestic model, the functional configuration is completely comparable to many 15-200000 joint venture models.

For example, in the standard functions of the whole department, the new car is equipped with rear parking radar, reversing image, constant speed cruise, keyless start / entry, main driver electric regulation, automatic air conditioning and other functions, which is more than enough for family cars. Among the three models, the medium model has been equipped with built-in traffic recorder, 360-degree panoramic image, remote start and other functions, which is a completely leapfrog performance.

540-degree panoramic image function, in the course of driving, the driver can clearly see the situation around the car body through the central control screen, and has a transparent chassis function, even the road conditions under the car can be seen clearly, this function can be said to be very practical for novice drivers, especially in narrow roads or hutongs, with 540-degree panoramic image function, the risk of rubbing can be avoided to a great extent.

In practical use, the best time to experience is when you turn or turn around, as long as you turn on the left / right turn signal and the 540-degree panoramic image is turned on automatically, at this time, you can clearly see the pedestrians, motorcycles, battery cars and so on in the blind area of vision, and you no longer have to probe to check the road conditions, which is very convenient and practical.

The other is the new "steep slope field of vision assistance" function. When the vehicle is in D gear with a speed of & lt;27km/h and a slope of ≥ 9 °, the front view image of panoramic 2D mode is automatically opened to assist users to watch the ramp obstacles and pedestrians ahead. This function will be encountered in the daily use of cars, such as when coming out from the Shang Chao or the underground garage in the community, because the garage is relatively steep, you can only see the sky in the driver's field of vision, at this time, if pets, children, etc., run out in front of the car, it is still relatively dangerous, and this function can automatically turn on the front camera, so that the driver can see the road ahead very clearly, which is undoubtedly very considerate and safe.

Of course, the third-generation Changan CS55 PLUS also has many practical configuration functions, such as the voice control system can not only complete the control of air conditioners, windows, music, maps and other commands, but also support multiple rounds of dialogue. in the process of dialogue, if you want to perform other requirements, you can interrupt the voice at any time and directly say new requirements, without having to wake up again and again, and become more intelligent.

Another example is the voice control system with intelligent sound source positioning, which can not only open / close the skylight, but also achieve accurate operations such as "opening the 1pm 2 skylight" and "opening the 1max 4 window" and so on. It is reported that the "parking memory assistant function" will also be online in the later stage. After the vehicle enters the parking lot, the parking memory assistant function can automatically identify the parking number and automatically push the parking number to the mobile phone APP. For many car owners who often cannot find their cars, this function is too friendly.

In Tianya Jun's view, the third generation Changan CS55 PLUS, as an independent entry-level SUV, is more integrated into all aspects of the car scene, so that consumers can really experience the convenience brought by technology.

The third-generation Changan CS55 PLUS is equipped with the latest generation of blue whale NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine in Changan, which matches the 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission with a maximum output power of 138kW and a peak torque of 300N ·m. Its power performance is comparable to that of 2.0L engines or even 2.0T low-power engines of many joint venture models.

First, the power output is relatively strong, especially in the sports mode, you can feel the eager power explosion when you step on the throttle. When you step on the throttle at 1 stop 3, the advantage of double vortex tube electronic control turbocharging is reflected. The speed is light and brisk, and the power reserve is more sufficient. It is relatively easy to start at traffic lights or overtake at high speed.

The second is the level of sound insulation. To tell the truth, in this class of models, consumers' requirements for sound insulation will not be too high, and general car companies will not have too much investment, but the overall performance of the third-generation Changan CS55 PLUS is satisfactory. Within the urban 80km/h speed, sitting in the car can hardly hear too much noise, on the highway, after the speed reaches 110km/h, there will be wind noise and road impetuosity, but also within the acceptable range.

Can have such a good NVH performance, and strong technical strength is inseparable, the third generation of Changan CS55 PLUS has mute plastic cylinder head cover, mute timing cover, dual-quality flywheel and other patented structure and technology, for sound insulation noise reduction of great help.

In addition, the advantages brought by the 7DCT gearbox are also relatively obvious, the official comprehensive fuel consumption is only 6.94L/100km (WLTC operating conditions), this test drive in Kunming, the whole 120km, including urban and high-speed conditions, some media teachers opened the level of fuel consumption within 6L/100km, although it is possible to deliberately control the throttle to reduce fuel consumption, but this is also enough to show that the energy consumption of the third generation Changan CS55 PLUS can be very low.

Of course, there is no end of the car, the performance of this power system is still a little bit regrettable, in the throttle downshift process, the gearbox response may have a delay of a few seconds, less silky, if the follow-up modified model can be further optimized, the driving feeling will be much better.

Finally, let's take a simple look at the design.

The third generation of Chang'an CS55 PLUS continues the family design as a whole, with two remarkable features.

First, the interstellar cube front grille, borderless parameterized array design, a strong sense of the future, coupled with the ring tail brake lights, brand-new blade wheels, star ring LED taillights, bright science and technology style, catering to the preferences of young consumers.

The second is the accurate positioning of the body size. Models of the same class are often about 4.7m long, while the third-generation Changan CS55 PLUS is just over 4.5m, which looks more compact and has a good sense of movement with extended lines, which has the advantage of more convenient parking and a greater sense of power visually.

Generally speaking, the secret of the third-generation Changan CS55 PLUS to maintain everlasting sales is that it is a "bucket model" with no obvious shortcomings, with no big problems in design, power, intelligence and space.

The new third-generation Changan CS55 PLUS has made a lot of efforts in intelligent configuration, the upgraded function is more practical and convenient, the fine-tuned appearance design is more in line with the preferences of young people, the key is the price.

The naked car price of less than 100000, coupled with the car purchase policy of " deposit to 1,367 USD car purchase deposit", is equivalent to a disguised cash discount of 1,23 USD, saving consumers a purchase tax, even if they buy medium-sized models (guidance price 106900). The landing price will not exceed 110000, the performance-to-price ratio is very high, and the whole is worth recommending.
