The progress of self-owned brand models in recent years is obvious to all, but it is not difficult to find that this progress is more concentrated on SUV models. Due to the rise of SUV in the domestic market, manufacturers will inevitably invest more energy in developing such models with higher premium and wider sales. They have chosen "strategic abandonment" for the car market where joint venture brands monopolize, the competition is extremely fierce and they can't afford to sell.

But in any case, although the gap between SUV market and car market is narrowing, car is still the dominant model in the current market, especially in the price range of10-150,000.

Every time I see the sales of Sylphy, LaVida and Corolla on the monthly sales list, they are all above 30,000, 40,000 or even 50,000. I believe many independent brands will be jealous, including Changan.

Since the birth of the so-called "Blue Whale Power", Chang 'an's performance has made great strides. Prior to this, CS75 almost overthrew the dynasty of Haval H6, and after that, UNI-T successfully went out with its fashionable appearance. After achieving excellent results in the SUV market, this ambitious independent brand finally aimed at the car market.

Ruicheng CC and Yidong PLUS are the most important growth points of Changan brand's future sales.

Let me start with a set of data. In the past August and September, Changan Yidong achieved sales growth of 69.7% and 88.8% respectively, and successfully returned to the mainstream models in the sales list after a long time. This self-owned brand compact car has slowly won the trust of consumers below 65,438+10,000.

How about Ruicheng CC? After the synchronous replacement with "Blue Whale Power" this year, although? The starting price of Ruicheng CC is "slightly increased" by 3,000 yuan (because the manual gear is cancelled), but the top allocation is reduced by 9,000 yuan, which is very sincere. However, due to the change of powertrain, the sales volume is not high, and there are not many consumers who know about this product in the market. With Changan's recent test drive meeting in South China, it's just an opportunity to give you a try of this new product to see if it has the ability to form a double sword with Yidong PLUS, or is it just another "cannon fodder" of the joint venture car?

Recall that Ruicheng CC was called Ruicheng before it was changed. Although the old name looks more cultured, these two words with deep strokes are not a good thing for this family car that pays attention to the sinking market in propaganda, so Changan also changed the name of this car to a more popular and easy-to-understand "Ruicheng".

First of all, let's talk about some basic information about this car. As a medium-sized car, Sharp CC has a body circumference of 4800/ 1825/ 1465mm and a wheelbase of 2770mm, which has inherent advantages compared with the compact joint venture car with the same price.

There is no doubt that this advantage will also be reflected in the back row space. Therefore, while providing enough legroom, Sharp CC has the confidence to make the rear seat cushion very long. Even a tall man like me can basically support the whole thigh.

However, Changan did not blindly make this car bigger, but tried to create a sense of compact movement in appearance. The unique blue-gray color of the Blue Whale model is matched with all kinds of red contrast colors on the body, which makes this autonomous car, which only sells100000, present a sense of movement that is not in line with the price.

Although the "bilateral chrome exhaust" at the rear of the car is just a decoration, the sharp CC is actually a serious double exhaust, but for some reason, the designer chose to keep a low profile. As low-key as exhaust, there are this pair of multi-link rear suspensions. If it weren't for the test drive in Nankun Mountain, which is known as "Autumn Mountain in Guangdong", I really didn't know that Changan had successfully "stolen" Ford and could actually build such an excellent chassis.

In terms of power, Ruicheng CC is mainly powered by Blue Whale 1.5T engine, with maximum horsepower 180 horsepower and peak torque of 300 Nm. The transmission part is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Hey! I know you're going to say, "What? Garbage double clutch! " .

Wait a minute, let me tell you my first impression of this motivation.

Because this activity was arranged in a hurry, I didn't do much homework in advance (don't tell the boss), so I learned that it used a dual-clutch gearbox after I got on the bus, but all the way to the foot of the mountain, the car didn't show the common faults of the dual-clutch gearbox at all, and I didn't want to go at first, nor did I want to stumble at low speed. On the contrary, in some cases, it will show some characteristics of AT gearbox-there is a slight pulling feeling after receiving oil, and the foot rushes forward when stepping on the accelerator, which makes me feel that this car is still the old 6AT for a while. As a result, after getting off the bus, I checked it conveniently, and an old blood gushed out, feeling that my reputation was ruined once. ......

So, in fact, the double clutch really goes without saying. As the technology becomes more and more mature and stable, just like the manual shift to 3AT/4AT, the dual clutch will be accepted by the public one day.

However, this set of power is by no means perfect. Although Changan introduced how efficient this engine is, its apparent fuel consumption has reached the level of 7 after a round of driving. XL is close to 8L. Admittedly, such a fuel consumption level is not unacceptable for a B-class car, but for those consumers who bought a car with a price of 654.38 million yuan, such a fuel consumption performance may not be attractive enough.

After talking about these places that ordinary people are not easy to "perceive", it is also pros and cons to talk about the details. First of all, the NVH suppression of this car is generally commendable. In the case of using relatively entry-level Chaoyang tires, tire noise has become the biggest noise source of this car, and the chassis sound insulation and engine sound isolation are actually done in place.

But if you have a pair of sensitive ears like me, and step on the accelerator at a medium speed of about 2000 rpm in a very quiet situation, you may catch a little "wheezing" sound inhaled by turbine pressure.

If Changan can be more "ruthless" and use quieter tires, then the car's sense of advanced can be further improved. Of course, as a consumable, it is not necessary for the owner to replace it as needed in the future.

In addition to these objective places, there are some places that may be subjective. I think Sharp CC also needs to be improved, that is, the design of central control and lathe. What car do you think of when you first see this central control model? Yes, it is BMW. Although there is no need to "learn from" the excellent man-machine layout of high-end brands, since this car has made its own characteristics in all aspects and its appearance is so original, why not spend some time polishing the interior?

Maybe I'm a little picky about my brand, too harsh, but my harshness is based on the good impression given to me by the mechanical part of the car-Ruicheng CC. On the basis of chassis quality, perfect power matching and space performance, combined with its top matching, the price is only 654.38+065.438+0.99 million yuan, and I am willing to give this car 90% points.

However, some details are not handled in place, and sometimes I feel a little lost when I am immersed in surprises. Obviously, you only need a little to build a perfect self-driving car. Why a little?

If I want to get along with this car for a long time, the first thing I do is to change four high-standard tires, and then see if the function of the car can be changed more comfortably, because only in this way can Sharp CC become the "dark horse" in my mind that "90 points" can challenge the joint venture compact car.

What is the remaining 10? This is probably the pain in the hearts of independent brands-brand power.
