My cousin used to set up a street stall and drive a set. Because of the layout of three rows of seats, a family of four is not only spacious, but also can hold a lot of goods. Last year, my cousin completely ended his street stall career, found a stable job, and earned a considerable income. For the new van, it became a regular means of transportation for walking and family travel. At the end of August this year, he sold his own and replaced it with an Changan Plus, but less than a month after it was opened, he expressed regret. What happened?
Two days ago, I visited my cousin’s house, and saw the Changan Plus he just bought, with a red design. It was not only sharp and dynamic, but also very festive. For ordinary working-class families, it was already very satisfying to drive such a coupe, but when it came to this car, my cousin was not happy, and even said that he had some regrets.
It turned out that my cousin bought a 1.4T version of the 2022 model with a price of 93,900 yuan. In fact, he had been paying attention to this model for a long time before. Because he had some spare money in his hand, he took his cousin to see the car during the break. After understanding it, not only did the car itself have certain discounts, but the country also had a policy of halving the purchase tax, so he bought it as soon as his mind was hot.
First of all, for the appearance of this model, my cousin and my wife fell in love at first sight, and they liked it very much, which looked more beautiful than the picture. After all, the 2022 Changan Plus has gone through several generations, and now it is the third generation version. Its appearance is both calm and dynamic, and so far, it has 1.2 million users, so it is well-known in terms of quality and practicality. As far as it is concerned, its average monthly sales volume is 10,000+,and finally my cousin and sister-in-law failed to resist the temptation.
The interior design of Changan Plus is just what my cousin and sister-in-law want. Although it uses a conjoined large screen, it looks very harmonious. The D-shaped rudder+yacht-type electronic gear lever is full of fighting atmosphere. Although the whole interior is simple in style, it highlights a touch of luxury, which is very desirable in both layout and color matching.
In terms of space, as a 5-seat car, it can easily meet the collective travel of my cousin’s family of four. After all, it has a length of 4730mm, a width of more than 1.8m, and a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. The space performance in the back row is at the same level as that in peace, and even it has a unique advantage. Not only is the space wider, but the protrusion of the central platform is not so obvious. In the case of five people, it has a higher height.
However, when it comes to its power, it is equipped with a 1.4T engine of Blue Whale, which can produce 160 horsepower and a peak torque of 260N·m, matching the wet dual-clutch gearbox of 7DCT. Although the throttle response will be slightly delayed when the torque is low, the power response will be very positive when the speed climbs, which is much stronger than the previous Wuling. When you want to overtake in the city, you can do it with one foot throttle. Moreover, its comprehensive fuel consumption is only 5.6L, which is acceptable in terms of travel cost.
In terms of configuration, a 90,000-class coupe has been given a series of practical functions such as 360-degree panoramic image, 180-degree perspective chassis, cruise control, driving mode selection, uphill assistance, sunroof, keyless start, 4G network connection, online map and remote start, which can easily meet daily use.
When it comes to this, I seem to feel a little wrong. It can be seen from the whole process that my cousin is very satisfied with the performance of Changan Plus in all aspects. Then why do you say that you have some regrets about buying this car? And my cousin’s next words made me see the essence of the problem clearly.
Because my cousin’s family likes picnics and outings, for the previous one, it is a front-mounted and rear-driven setting, which not only has a high chassis and good passability, but also can go up and down the mountain, play everywhere, and go to places that many ordinary models can’t go. At the same time, as a van, it doesn’t feel bad when bumping into it, and it can be unscrupulous in the wild. Although this car has no class at all, its high practicality has brought endless joy to my cousin’s family of four.
However, when you change this Changan Plus, you can’t do whatever you want when you go to the wild. First of all, it is a front-drive structure, and the chassis is low. Don’t say that you should be careful when you go up the mountain and into the water, or even take some bad roads. As a result, you will behave prudently in the wild and you can’t do whatever you want as before. After all, you are afraid of bumping into a new car. Therefore, its field activities are limited to some extent. Therefore, in this respect, my cousin always misses the days he had before, and it is no wonder that he regretted it less than a month after he bought it.
Of course, for Changan Yidong Plus, on the whole, there is nothing wrong with the vehicle itself, and all aspects of performance can satisfy my cousin and sister-in-law, but different models have different uses and functions, so I can only say, "What suits me is the best", what do you think?
