This is the new Changan CS75 Plus, ready to be launched on the Chinese car market in early 2022. The new CS75 Plus features a daring and progressive design, with a whale-like grille topped by a wide light bar that combines the lights themselves with a stylish bar in the middle.
The first CS75 Plus debuted in 2019. As
the name implied, it was a high-end version of the Changan CS75 SUV. However,
this new CS75 Plus is more a stand-alone model than just a variant of the CS75,
with its own design language and trim levels. Dimension size at 4700/1865/1710 mm, with a 2710 mm wheelbase.
The front design is daring but not overly
sporty. But the rear end is very racy, with a spoiler atop the window with a
light unit in the middle, a faux diffuser with an F1-style fog lights, and four
extra large exhaust pipe tips.
The new Changan CS75 Plus will be
available with two engines: a 1.5 turbo with 178 hp and 265 Nm and a 2.0 turbo
with 233 hp and 360 Nm. The 1.5 turbo is mated to a 6-speed automatic manual
transmission (AMT) and the 1.8 turbo to an 8-speed ATM, bot sourced from Aisin,
a large Japanese parts maker that is currently very popular among Chinese car
companies.
The interior is very luxurious for the
segment, with lots of classy leather on the seats and dashboard. The
three-spoke multi-function steering wheel has a flat bottom and the design of
the gear lever is, according to Changan, inspired by yachting.
The dashboard is dominated by a dual
12.3-inch screen, one for the digital dashboard and one for the infotainment.
The infotainment system features popular Chinese apps such as WeChat, Baidu
Maps, and Baidu CarLife. The new Changan CS75 Plus will have its public debut
on the upcoming Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. Price will start
somewhere around 120.000 yuan (US$ 18.810).
