Electric Technology Car News: Highlander has long been unable to satisfy the thirsty car buyers. Who will be the next SUV overlord among Trumpchi, Changan and Haval?

With the rapid rise of domestic auto brands, more and more car buyers are turning their attention from foreign brands to domestic brands. Although some car buyers no longer consider foreign brands, there are still many domestic brands. I believe that most people will be entangled when buying a car.

The two most common dilemmas are that you have decided on a car model you like and want to carefully spend extra money to get a higher configuration, but when your budget is tight, you can't help but feel frustrated. The other situation is that the product power of the two car models you like is equally good, and you are wavering. You want the powerful power of car A, but you can't give up the rich configuration of car B. It is never an isolated case of greed and demanding everything.

At present, this mentality is particularly evident in the SUV market. Since the two-child policy was opened, people's demand for comfort has increased, especially tall and mighty seven-seater SUV models have been sought after. A Highlander alone can no longer satisfy people's enthusiasm for car purchases.

Due to Haval's previous misjudgment and failure to segment the SUV market, Trumpchi GS8 once became synonymous with domestic medium and large SUVs. Changan CS95, which joined the competition this year, is obviously unwilling to let GS8 dance alone, and has rewritten the market structure into a two-horse race. So how is the strength of Changan CS95's top-end version?

The top version of Changan CS95 has a strong visual impact at first glance. Even though many friends thought the exterior design of the car was controversial before, this car does have its own style. The mesh design on the front of the car body also adds some refinement. The 4949mm body length and 1785mm height from the side meet the standards of many families that believe in bigness.

Overall, the appearance of this car has been slightly modified based on the low-end version, and this change in details has indeed brought different changes to the appearance.

Compared with the Trumpchi GS8 and Haval H7, the steering wheel of the top-end model has a lot of metallic materials. Although the interior design does not meet the standards of modern car buyers, the materials and workmanship are very fine. The gear lever has the official double C logo, highlighting the exclusiveness of the top-end version.

The resolution of the central control display screen of this top-end version is slightly lower, but it does not have much impact. This car is also equipped with an automatic parking function, which supports both side and vertical modes. In general, the overall feeling it gives people is still a little bit lacking, but it has added a lot of highlights in the active safety configuration, which significantly enhances the sense of security.

This top-of-the-line Changan CS95 uses a 2.0T direct injection engine with a maximum power of 233 horsepower and a maximum torque of 360 Nm. When the accelerator is fully depressed, the car can provide a 3-second overboost mode, in which case the engine can output an additional 20 Nm of torque. On some roads that require more stop-and-go driving, the power performance is sufficient and the steering is relatively light.

However, when accelerating suddenly, the car obviously lacks explosive power, and the gearbox downshifts a little slowly. Fortunately, the chassis is very solid, and the suspension filters fine bumps very well.

91che (Official Account: 91che) believes that although the top-end version of Changan CS95 still has some minor flaws, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. Whether it is the appearance, interior, or power, it can show a good side, and seeing the real car will be more shocking than the photos. If you are a person who takes size as the standard, this car is definitely your first choice.
