Changan
CX70 SUV
The
best Spy Shots so far of the new Changan CX70 SUV for China. It will be
launched on the Chinese car market in late Q4, price will start around 85.000
yuan and end around 115.000 yuan. The Changan CX70 will be positioned between
the smaller Changan CS35 and the larger Changan CS75.
That
is CS and CS, but this new one is a CX. Logo on the grille indicates the CX70
is manufactured by Changan’s commercial division that mostly makes minivans and
mini MPV’s.
Design
of the rear end was inspired by the Ford Explorer, which makes for a classic
case of screwing-your-partner, because Changan Automobile has the Changan-Ford
joint venture with Ford.
A
very nice interior for the money. Trendy orange seats, speedy dials, lots of
alu detailing. But best of all is the giant touch screen in the center console,
flanked on each side by an equally giant air vent. Very few buttons on the
console and tunnel, indicating the systems sitting in said screen will do most
of the work.
The
CX70 is a seven-seater with a 2+3+2 configuration. This is the second row,
there seems to be enough space for the legs and the head.
The
CX70 will be powered by a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with a mere 117
horsepower, which won’t make it very fast, especially since the CX70 is not
very small. Dimension size : 4680/1800/1750 mm, and wheelbase is 2780 mm.
