Review A

【Exterior】
Although the interior is the same as the Q05, the V logo and the hollow front grille do look better. The green license plate and side decorations are also quite recognizable. After all, there are many 55plus and Q05 models here in Xinjiang, but green license plate 55plus is still rare.

【Interior】
When I first picked up the car, I thought the interior was very monotonous, but after driving it for a long time, I grew to like it. There are no buttons on the center console, and most operations while driving are done on the steering wheel. After sitting in my friend's Boyue L, I realized that a clean and tidy interior is the best.

【Space Performance】
After all, it's a compact SUV, so the rear row is indeed a bit narrow, but that's relative to me as a fat person. My family all say it's quite spacious. The trunk is also slightly small, but overall, there's no major problem with the space.

【Configuration】
This Super Energy version can be said to have everything. All the provided configurations are usable, and the missing ones are not a big deal. The electric tailgate and seat ventilation are more than enough for me.

【Driving Experience】
Driving experience must be divided into low speed and high speed. At low speeds, the underwhelming chassis is really not good, shaking a lot. However, the turning radius is small, making U-turns relatively easy. At high speeds, the chassis performs well, with quick acceleration and very easy overtaking.

【Range and Energy Consumption】
At high speeds, the fuel consumption is basically consistent with the official figure of 5.3L. The roads in Xinjiang are flat and straight. Every time I go into the city, there's a 200-kilometer round trip with uphill or downhill sections. The fuel consumption is 5.3L, and downhill it's no more than 4L. Overall, it's very good. The range is basically the same as the display, mainly because the roads in Xinjiang are good, of course.

【Driver Assistance】
This is very basic, basically just lane keeping and cruise control, which are very useful in Xinjiang.

【Smart Cockpit】
The infotainment system is a bit disappointing. It responds quickly but has very few functions and few apps. As for CarLink, due to the narrow screen, some software is barely usable due to poor adaptation. The voice assistant also can't understand many basic commands.

【Supplementary Notes】
June 13th:
1. Regarding the chassis, it turns out that I didn't adjust the tire pressure when I first bought it; it was using the factory setting of 3.2🤪. After adjusting it to 2.5 myself, the left-right晃动 is not obvious, and the up-down bumps have improved a lot. Add 0.5 points. However, by comparison, it's still not as good as my friend's Boyue L, but there really isn't a major problem anymore.
2. The air conditioning in this car is really powerful, better than any other car I've been in. It cools down quickly. In Xinjiang's 35-degree weather, it can keep me cool. Thumbs up😁.
3. The sentry mode is very sensitive; it can detect the vibration from someone closing a car door nearby.
4. Regarding charging: public fast charging桩 can fully charge in less than 1 hour; the portable charger with 16A takes 7 hours, and 10A takes 12 hours.
5. Regarding power: once, on a slope where even fuel cars dared not stop, I started uphill with two people in the car, and it went up with one kick. Very satisfied. I tried launch control myself; the torque increases too quickly, and the front of the car couldn't grip the road well for the first two seconds.
6. Regarding pure electric range: low speed is not worth mentioning. At a high speed of 100 km/h, pure electric comfort mode, 24-degree air conditioning, the range is approximately 100 kilometers.

Review B

The in-car navigation system is still as mechanical as ever. The air conditioning is quite powerful. The shock absorption is indeed very soft. The optimal cold tire pressure is 2.5 to 2.6, and after driving continuously for 20 minutes, it can reach the standard 2.8. In smart driving mode, the engine kicks in when the battery level is 22%, and the noise is a bit loud. Even with low battery, the power is still decent when going uphill on mountain roads; it can carry two people in the back row and go up normally. The hill descent control function is good, but it seems to fail on steep slopes, requiring manual braking assistance. When fast charging, the Sinopec EASY JOY fast charger can reach 43KW. The downside is that the charging port cover is not waterproof and cannot be locked; rainwater got in last night when it rained. The seat ventilation only blows a little air on the butt area, which is not as expected; this feature is not reliable. The trunk width is insufficient, making it a bit difficult to place fishing rods and umbrella bags horizontally. I have to either fold down the right rear seat and place the equipment vertically or place them horizontally on the rear seat without folding. The Bluetooth connection is occasionally unstable, and the built-in Amap navigation satellite positioning also occasionally fails, requiring a vehicle restart. Well, that's just how Changan's in-car system is. Luckily, I don't need excessive intelligence; after all, it's safer to have my life in my own hands. Regarding driving under motor power, I feel that the brakes are used more frequently, which may be related to the driving mode. It's not as comfortable and smooth to control as the engine braking of my previous car. Finally, I want to ask everyone: I checked the original battery guard, and it's not plastic; a magnet can stick to it, and it feels quite hard. Has anyone installed an additional battery guard?

Review C

The car has a very sleek and imposing exterior, and the gray color particularly caught my eye at first glance. My previous car was white, so I wanted a gray one. The features and configurations are complete, and it definitely deserves a thumbs up. It's a hybrid electric vehicle that can operate in hybrid or range-extended modes, using pure electric power for short trips. Changan is getting better and better at making cars.
