The new CS55
The first thing to say is the overall technical level of Changan Automobile. As we all know, the biggest gap between independent brands and joint venture brands is not the price and configuration, but the technical research results in engines, transmissions, chassis adjustment, safe body and so on. From this point of view, Changan Automobile's technology accumulation is relatively generous compared with that of ordinary independent brands. Its research centers are all over Italy, Britain, Japan and other major automobile developed regions, and it also recruits automotive professionals from all over the world by setting up research centers around the world, which makes Changan Automobile have made great progress in shape design, power system, safety performance and overall adjustment. Research centers all over the world have their own clear division of labor. It can be said that each department has its own clear tasks, and the division of labor is quite clear. For example, the Italian research center mainly focuses on automobile modeling, the British research center mainly focuses on engine technology, the Japanese research center mainly focuses on interior design, and the American R&D center mainly focuses on chassis adjustment and matching.
the new CS75PLUS
has the foundation of research and development capability as a guarantee, and the research and development results are relatively good from the current effect. On the engine side, Changan Automobile recently launched its own Blue Whale series engine. Of course, the previous Blue Whale Power 2.T also belongs to the category of Blue Whale. On the basis of combining the world's advanced technology, the new blue whale power modular platform is launched, and the power performance of the 1.4T and 1.5T engines is quite rapid. It can be said that it has obvious advantages for domestic engines in terms of starting and subsequent power output. Generally speaking, Changan Automobile's engines are still very leading in the current domestic automobile market.
Let's talk about the gearbox. Changan Automobile currently has its own research and development capability of the gearbox. As can be seen from the Blue Whale power platform released by Changan Automobile, there is a 7-speed powershift, which is not original by Changan, but also obtained through independent research and development with the support of some big-name gearbox companies. Changan Automobile, as a strategic partner of Aisin, enjoys the right of priority distribution in Aisin's 6AT gearbox, which means that the advantages in this respect are fully guaranteed. For most domestic car companies, such innate advantages are hard to obtain. Some models currently on sale are equipped Aisin's 6AT gearbox. In this respect, Changan Automobile's automatic transmission models have a unique advantage and belong to such a leading one among domestic automatic transmission boxes.
Let's talk about chassis adjustment. The chassis adjustment of Changan Automobile is mainly undertaken by the American Design Center. Among the models sold, taking CS55 as an example, the chassis support and comfort of this car have a good balance. It can be said that the overall performance is at the top level in the camp of independent brands, and even has the ability to surpass some joint venture brands. The adjustment of the chassis is more in line with the comprehensive use needs of most domestic car owners for the chassis. From several aspects, Changan Automobile's comprehensive ability among its own brands belongs to a relatively strong one, which is also in line with its first-line independent brand positioning.
and then its vehicle positioning level. In recent years, independent brands have been bewitched by various consulting companies to launch their own high-end series, hoping to make the brand upward and enhance the premium of products. For example, Great Wall launched Wei Pai, Geely launched Lingke, and Changan, as an old independent brand, did not rush to launch a brand-new brand. It is estimated that high-end brands have been brewing for some time. In view of the current sluggish automobile market, the main focus is on the exploration of models, trying to save the shortcomings in appearance design and the overall product strength of Changan Automobile.
The above is my personal opinion. If you have any other opinions, please leave a comment.
