This is the new Changan Raeton CC, a somewhat sporty looking sedan
coupe with a massive grille and a very short rear end. The name is misleading
for one might think that its based on the Raeton sedan. It isn’t, it stands on a
smaller platform and used a different engine. It has also no visible
connections with the 2015 Raeton CC
concept car.
The Raeton CC will in fact be positioned below the
Raeton. The Raeton CC is 14 centimeters shorter with 4780/1825/1465 mm, and wheelbase is 2770 mm. At launch there will be just one engine
available, a 1.5-liter turbo with 156 hp, mated to a six-speed manual or automatic,
sending horses to the front wheels.
Spoiler integrated in the boot lid. Reaton CC badge
is ultra cool because it follows the angle of the light and because CC is
in red. We strongly support red badges on turbocharged cars. Price of the
CC will start around 95.000 yuan and end around 120.000 yuan.
Price and engine are fine and it looks good. But is
it really a sedan coupe? No, and it sure isn’t a Raeton sedan
coupe. What is really is is a completely new sedan positioned between the Eado and the Raeton. They should have given it a
new name too.
