The new Changan Raeton CC will be launched on the
Chinese car market in November. The name is a tad confusing. It is not a
CC-version of the Raeton sedan, which is a much larger vehicle, but the
successor of the Eado sedan.
The Raeton CC stands on a brand new
Changan-developed platform called P3, which will also underpin an upcoming
crossover. Power comes from a new 1.5 turbo with 155 hp and 225 Nm, mated to a
six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.
It is a good looking car with sporty lines and a
big Lexus-like grille. The interior s nice as well with a 10 inch touch screen
for the infotainment system and a half-digital instrument panel. Price will
range from about US$ 10,600 to US$ 13,600.
