The current increasingly fierce competition in the compact SUV market has forced car companies in it to come up with more competitive products, especially the Chinese brands in the domestic camp. In addition to being proud of In addition to advanced configurations, cost-effectiveness and increasingly higher product quality, many brands have even begun to focus on the automotive aftermarket, providing consumers with all the services they need after buying a car, such as lifetime free maintenance and lifetime free maintenance. Warranty, etc., thereby solving consumers' worries about purchasing domestic brand SUVs from the source, and indirectly improving the market competitiveness of their products.
Facts have proved that this thoughtful after-sales maintenance policy has indeed had an immediate effect. The Changan Auchan brand, which has shifted from the commercial vehicle market to the passenger car market, has successfully relied on the Auchan X7 "Lifetime Free Warranty+" The double-free maintenance policy has become a hit with monthly average sales exceeding 10,000. Therefore, for this young domestic brand, there is no reason to waste the good start of Auchan X7. No, on the second compact SUV Auchan X5, Changan Auchan has gone one step further and offered another "lifetime free basic maintenance with no time limit and no set frequency + 99.9% free lifetime genuine warranty on parts" "Aftermarket maintenance policy.
Of course, the after-sales "double exemption" policy inherited from Auchan X7 will indeed prove Changan Auchan's confidence in the quality of its products, but in the current domestic automobile market, there are also several models that adopt The same after-sales maintenance policy. Therefore, if Auchan X5 wants to become another hot-selling model like Auchan X7, it needs to be more competitive in other dimensions such as appearance, space, configuration, cost-effectiveness, etc. Now let’s take this opportunity to learn about the overall quality of this “domestic X5” built by Changan?
As the second compact SUV of the Auchan brand, the Auchan X5 is obviously positioned to be younger than the Auchan X7. Therefore, in terms of appearance design, the Auchan X7 based on Changan MPA platform is more avant-garde and radical. Taking the front face as an example, the Auchan X5 adopts what the official calls the "Light Shaping Design Aesthetics" design concept. The hexagonal front air intake grille is exaggerated in size and sharp in shape, and a vertical waterfall-style chrome plating is added inside. The decorative strips, combined with the three-section air intake below and the split headlights on both sides, make the car look more aggressive and sporty. As for the light source of the headlight set, the Auchan X5 will enable all-LED high and low beams in the mid-range configuration. LED daytime running light sets, automatic headlights, height adjustable, and delayed shut-off are standard features for the entire series. The overall configuration performance reaches reached a higher level.
The sideways shape continues the youthful effect of the front part of the car. At first glance, it even has a bit of Changan UNI-T charm. The overall shape is full and smooth, with a relatively low-lying posture and a slightly fastback roof shape, giving the new car a sporty posture that dives forward. The 19-inch two-color wheels also look very harmonious, further demonstrating its youthful and sporty effect.
The shape of the rear of the car is relatively restrained, and the shape is full, which makes people feel very solid. The slender horizontal split taillight group echoes the shape of the head to a certain extent. The internal light source uses LED, which is highly recognizable when lit. The rear bumper is decorated with dual-exhaust exhaust on both sides, and the effect is quite realistic. As for the body size, the length, width and height of the Changan Auchan X5 are 4490/1860/1580 (1590) mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2710mm. Compared with its competitors, the body shape does not have an advantage, but the wheelbase has reached the mainstream level. . So what is the performance of Auchan X5 when it comes to the internal driving space? Let's look down.
Open the door, and after actual experience, I found that the front and rear space performance of Changan Auchan X5 is satisfactory, and the sports seats give people a deep impression, whether it is leather materials or The ride experience is extremely comfortable, which really deserves a thumbs up. In terms of head space, in order to adapt to the shape of the vehicle, the seating position of the rear seats is set low, so it does not have a big impact on the head space. The only drawback is that the bulge in the middle of the rear row is high and not wide enough, which affects the comfort of the middle passenger.
As for the storage space in the car, Changan Auchan X5's performance is relatively conventional, and basic storage compartments are all available. The trunk space is regular, and the rear seats can be folded down in a 4/6 ratio to ensure space expansion. The officially announced trunk volume is 317L, which is enough for daily family use.
As for the cockpit, the center console of Changan Auchan X5 adopts a young and passionate approach, with black as the main color and dazzling red elements incorporated into the decoration. The middle part uses a 10.25-inch floating central control screen and is connected to the instrument area to enhance the sense of technology. In terms of configuration, Auchan's latest OnStyle3.0 vehicle system is adopted, and functions such as clairvoyance, wind-sighting ears, and bodyguard mode are added, further improving the practicality.
Finally, in terms of power, Changan Auchan X5 shares the power system with UNI-T in the Changan family. It is equipped with a Blue Whale NE? 1.5T turbocharged direct injection engine with a maximum power of 180 Horsepower and peak torque are 300 Nm. When matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, it can accelerate to 100 kilometers in 7.79 seconds. In addition, in order to increase the cost performance, the car is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 128 horsepower and a peak torque of 161 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual gearbox and CVT (simulated 8-speed) transmission. The chassis suspension uses a combination of front MacPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
