Does the Changan CS75 have four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
Changan CS75 has a four-wheel drive version. The relevant introduction about the four-wheel drive vehicle is as follows: 1. It adopts front-engine four-wheel drive, with the four-wheel drive form being on-demand four-wheel drive, and the central differential is a multi-plate clutch. 2. On-demand four-wheel drive is just one form of car four-wheel drive. There are also part-time four-wheel drive and full-time four-wheel drive. 3. On-demand four-wheel drive is further divided into three types: mechanical shaft-connected on-demand four-wheel drive, multi-clutch on-demand four-wheel drive, and intelligent electronic on-demand four-wheel drive. 4. The core component of multi-clutch on-demand four-wheel drive is the multi-plate clutch limited-slip differential. When the car slips, the electronic system will issue a command to tighten the clutch, which will transmit power to the rear wheels.
I've driven the Changan CS75 SUV several times myself. To be honest, it mainly comes in a two-wheel-drive configuration, specifically front-wheel drive. I've mostly driven it in urban and suburban areas, and I feel its acceleration and handling are decent - quite convenient for daily commuting. However, in rainy or snowy conditions, the traction isn't as stable as with four-wheel drive, making it prone to skidding. The four-wheel-drive system requires additional gears and axles, which aren't installed in the standard CS75 version. Changan does offer higher-end models like the CS75 Plus that might provide optional four-wheel drive, though these aren't very common. If you're considering buying one, I'd recommend checking with dealers or the official website for specific model years and configurations. Four-wheel drive in SUVs is designed for those who frequently drive on rough roads or go off-roading. For city driving, two-wheel drive saves both fuel and money, making it more cost-effective. Determining your primary usage scenario is key.
