"Buy an engine and send a car" Mountain City Experience New Member Changan Blue Whale Twin Heroes

When it comes to the mountain city of Chongqing, many people will think of hot pot, and many people will think of the stem of failed navigation. But do you know it is still a city among network celebrities? Especially the scenic spots such as Hongyadong and Liziba Light Rail Station, which are popular on the Internet, have become one of the places where many foreign tourists must punch in. The collision between the long history and the network celebrity architecture, and the combination of tradition and fashion endow Chongqing with unique charm. Even the TGT "third-rate", who is used to big waves, once took the team to punch in.

Although the geographical environment built on the mountain and living by the water has created the unique customs of Chongqing, while attracting tourists, the inconvenience of traveling still really bothers local residents. In addition to the navigation failure mentioned above, the long-term uphill and downhill road conditions also test the overall performance of the vehicle, especially the performance of the power system. On the narrow climbing road, if the traffic jam is caused by the lack of power of your own vehicle, as the "locomotive" of this traffic jam team, its pressure can be imagined. After all, you are trying to overtake your car owner.

A powerful enough engine should become the standard in this mountain city. Just recently, as a local car company in Chongqing, Changan brought two CS55 equipped with brand-new Blue Whale 1.5T engines? Together with the Blue Whale Edition and Sharp CC Blue Whale Edition, it has become two new members of the Chang 'an Blue Whale family. Of course, it seems to show the friendship of the landlord, or it may be eager to show the real strength of its engine to the world. Changan Automobile also invited a group of people including Bian Xiao to Chongqing during the Chengdu Auto Show to have an in-depth experience of these two cars. Of these two cars, Bian Xiao pays more attention to changan CS55? Plus the blue whale version.

Chang 'an Edition "Buy an Engine and Send a Car"

To put it simply, the two models of this experience belong to "very easy to drive" models. To do this, the most important thing is to improve the dynamic experience.

As one of the newest members of Blue Whale ne series, the maximum rated power 132kW and the maximum torque of 300n·m calibrated on this 1.5T engine have long been known. Specific to the actual driving level, whether it is urban roads or highways, the power will increase with the deep step of your right foot. Back to the parameter level, Changan engineers adjusted the peak torque range from 1250rpm to 3500rpm, which basically covered the most commonly used speed range in daily driving.

The ability to obtain more efficient power output is naturally inseparable from the corresponding technical endorsement. Therefore, in the traditional "loading" link, we can see the emergence of black technology coefficients such as "agile" efficient combustion system, intelligent cam phase modulation system and double scroll electronically controlled turbocharging technology. It is worth noting that this 1.5T Blue Whale engine has a maximum thermal efficiency of 40%, making it one of the turbocharged engines with the highest thermal efficiency on the market. In addition, its phase response speed is increased by 175%, and Schaeffler intelligent cam phase modulation system is Smart? The application of phaser further accelerates the adjustment response speed of the engine. Looking ahead, better combustion efficiency is also reflected in fuel economy. Only in this way can the living environment of polar bears be better protected.

Of course, it is not only the engine itself that has changed, but also the matching gearbox has changed from the original 6AT gearbox used by Changan Automobile to the dual-clutch gearbox independently developed by Changan Automobile. But concerns about dual clutch gearboxes can easily be broken. Even if you just go to the 4S shop for a test drive, you can feel the smooth response of the gearbox.

On the whole, this gearbox quite understands the driver's intention, and the shift response is positive and smooth, and almost no frustration or procrastination is felt. When driving at high speed, the front vehicle slows down during acceleration, and when the speed is controlled to overtake again by lightly stepping on the brake, the gearbox will intelligently judge and downshift in advance, so as to obtain better acceleration performance when stepping on the accelerator again.

Only when the oil is collected and refueled at low speed, the gearbox will move slightly and the shift response will be delayed. But in general, if you want to rank the availability of all the dual-clutch gearboxes in the world, then this gearbox of Changan deserves a place.

Dynamic performance is the only criterion for testing dynamic parameters.

Driving on the road, the power improvement on paper can be truly reflected in actual driving. This is mainly reflected in two points: the torque response of the initial stroke of the throttle and the power reserve in the middle and late stage. The credit of the former is not entirely due to the engine, but also due to the positive accelerator pedal setting, which makes the car very light to drive in the city and not too sensitive when following the car at low speed. The latter is due to the complete power increase, which is definitely not achieved by simple software calibration. At this level, the experience of Sharp CC Blue Whale Edition with lighter weight and lower center of gravity is more obvious.

Another dimension to evaluate a new engine is silence, that is, CS55? PLUS has more comprehensive performance. From the practical experience, this power system is relatively inclined to "pull up and turn", and even in the speed range of 2,500 rpm-3,000 rpm, the running noise of the engine itself will not be transmitted into the engine room too much. If it is a good road condition and the driving style of Buddhism, its working range is usually between 1700rpm-2000rpm, and the engine noise is naturally lighter.

In CS55, which pays more attention to the demand for family cars? On the PLUS Blue Whale version, the chassis adjustment of the new car has not changed significantly compared with the cash, maintaining the consistent comfortable orientation of the in-car system. In changan CS55? On the PLUS Blue Whale version, the so-called road feeling is not deliberately created to adjust the initial damping because the appearance becomes more sporty and powerful. The bumps from small to large can give people soft feedback, which may not be the same as the appearance, but I think this is the ideal setting for a home SUV.

Turning, CS55? In addition, the Blue Whale Edition also provides three different modes to cover drivers with different habits. Of course, the damping in the standard mode is the most natural, and it is also the most recommended to more people. Although the overall light, but the feel of all dimensions are relatively neutral, including the return speed is also very suitable.

Chang 'an, the place where science and technology stand.

The continuous decline of the market is reshaping the domestic automobile market, and the outbreak of the epidemic has further accelerated the reshuffle process, and independent brands are facing unprecedented pressure. According to the data of the Federation, from 20 19 to the first half of this year, the market share of independent brands has dropped from 37.8% to 34. 1%. However, it is worth noting that these evaporated market shares are mainly concentrated in marginal brands, and head brands such as Geely and Changan are relatively strong, and Changan has also achieved positive growth. With the application of blue whale power in CS55? Changan Automobile is expected to continue to maintain the momentum of rapid growth in the second half of the year on the two major sales pillar models of PLUS and Ruicheng CC.

Insiders of Chang 'an said that consumers in Chang 'an have a high awareness and recognition of the Blue Whale brand. They not only know that this engine can compete with international manufacturers, but also are very satisfied with the actual experience. This is actually a strong signal to enhance Changan's brand power, which is more important than the sustained growth of sales volume for Changan's long-term development. What is certain is that Blue Whale Power will be a strong support for Changan to maintain a good momentum in the future.

In the rapid growth of the past 20 years, the development of independent brands can not be separated from market dividends, but today, only with advanced technology and brand characteristics can we ensure that we will not be eliminated. Throughout the long history of international first-line brands, all of them are based on technical and brand characteristics, such as Toyota's hybrid technology, Honda's power technology, Ford's chassis adjustment and so on. Fortunately, the emergence of technologies such as Chang 'an Blue Whale Power and Geely CMA architecture has also given independent brands the same strength as joint venture brands.

Write it at the end

Changan CS55 with blue whale 1.5T power? PLUS and Sharp CC left a deep impression on me in terms of power. Compared with the current models, their acceleration performance has been significantly improved, and the overall driving texture is quieter, showing the powerful strength of the blue whale engine. At present, Blue Whale Power has increasingly become the focus of consumers' purchase of Changan automobile products. I believe that with the blessing of this engine, the competitive strength of these two models will be greatly enhanced.
