I've been driving my newly purchased Changan CS75 PLUS for almost a year now. While it's generally practical, there are quite a few drawbacks. The fuel consumption in congested urban areas can reach 11 liters per 100 kilometers, which is higher than I expected, making every refueling session painful for my wallet. The noise insulation is barely satisfactory, with noticeable wind and road noise on highways, forcing us to raise our voices during conversations, which is quite annoying. The suspension tuning is on the stiff side, resulting in a bumpy ride over speed bumps or uneven roads, and my kids in the back seat have complained about discomfort several times during family outings. The steering wheel feels heavy at low speeds, making long city drives tiring for the arms. The interior looks well-designed but the materials feel plasticky, appearing cheap under sunlight, and the seat support isn't quite adequate. The infotainment system is slow to boot up and occasionally lags, and the outdated navigation has led me astray twice—these small details affect daily usability. The brake response isn't sharp enough, causing some anxiety in emergency situations. Overall, it offers ample space and plenty of features suitable for family use, but refinement needs improvement.
