In today's automobile consumer market, consumers are becoming more rational, shifting the focus from the outside to the inside, and "only buying the expensive ones and not the right ones" has become history.
Comparison of 7-seater hot models, Changan CX70T vs. Glory 580
In 2017, two independent 7-seat SUV models can be said to be quite popular, one is Changan CX70T, and the other is Dongfeng Glory 580. And these two cars have become direct competitors without any surprise by virtue of the similar price range.
is 1.5T, the power experience is quite different
From the relevant paper data, it can be seen that both cars have selected 1.5T engines, and they are surprisingly consistent in maximum horsepower and maximum power, both of 150Ps and 110kW. If there is a paper difference, only the Changan CX70T's torque is 10 Nm more than that of the Glory 580, reaching a data of 230 Nm.
But!
The author wants to tell everyone that the power cannot only look at the engine, nor can it only look at the data, but also the gearbox. Different gearboxes can make the same engine show completely different states, which can be fuel-efficient and economical, and can also be irritable as thunder.
Today’s two protagonists have relatively big differences in gearboxes. Changan CX70T chooses Japan’s Aisin’s 6-speed automated manual gearbox (6AT), while the Glory 580 uses a CVT continuously variable gearbox.
The gearbox has a big difference, and the power performance is different
First of all, we must clarify the difference between the two gearboxes. The 6-speed automatic manual gearbox (6AT) uses different gear ratios to achieve different gear ratios to achieve different gears, while the CVT gearbox is driven by steel belts. Change the position of the steel belt and change the speed ratio.
If you put it in easy-to-understand terms, then the CVT gearbox is like a slope, while the AT gearbox is more like a step.
It is precisely because of this difference that CVT gearboxes have a slight advantage in ride comfort. But it should be noted that when the vehicle needs high power output (the slope angle is too large), it is very easy to slip (the slope is easy to slip), which is why high-performance models choose AT gearboxes and even manual gearboxes do not choose CVT gearboxes.
Therefore, in terms of the power performance of the two cars, the Changan CX70T model with the Japanese Aisin 6AT gearbox has better performance and better power output.
The driving mode of the chassis becomes the highlight of the difference
As we all know, high-performance sports cars will choose 4WD or rear-wheel drive as the driving mode, because this drive mode allows the front wheels of the vehicle to be only responsible for steering, and the rear wheels are only responsible for power output. It is also responsible for the power and control performance of the power output models.
Returning to the two comparison models, the Changan CX70T model chose the front rear drive, while the Glory 580 chose the front front drive. In terms of power performance and handling, Changan CX70T is undoubtedly better.
From the perspective of the overall chassis structure, the chassis of the Glory 580 is more like a car chassis, with front front drive + front independent suspension + rear independent suspension. On the other hand, Changan CX70T chooses a more sporty front rear drive + front independent suspension + rear five-link spiral spring suspension.
To sum up, the chassis design of the Changan CX70T model is more sporty and more performance-oriented. Although the Glory 580 has an SUV shell, its performance is slightly insufficient.
To sum up, although Changan CX70T has only 10N·m more torque on the engine than the DFSK Glory 580, it is stronger than the Glory 580 in terms of sportiness and performance in terms of gearbox and chassis structure.
Compare the power, then compare the configuration
Before we talked about power, let's talk about the configuration of the two cars. In the active and passive safety equipment, the two vehicles are almost identical. Both models have main/passenger seat airbags, front side airbags, tire pressure monitoring, child seat interface, ABS anti-lock, braking force distribution, brake assist, traction control, body stability system and other safety configurations. Very good protection of car safety.
However, the Changan CX70T automatic Zunqing version has more front parking radar than the Dongfeng Fengjing 580 CVT luxury version. For such a large body, the addition of the front parking radar can really significantly improve the safety of daily driving. Worried about low obstacles in front of the vehicle. Moreover, Changan CX70T also has more engine start-stop technology to further improve fuel economy. The CX70T automatic engine version is also equipped with a right side panoramic image, which can monitor the right side blind area well in the case of meeting cars on narrow roads, making driving safer.
Therefore, when it comes to car model recommendation, the author admires Changan CX70T, which has excellent power performance and safety. The most important thing is that there are more configurations, lower prices, and the price/performance ratio is not generally high.
There are winners and losers in size comparison, taller, bigger and wider, becoming a new pursuit of auto companies
Today's Chinese auto market is bigger, wider, and higher. It has become the new pursuit of auto companies. Because the market has demand, there is such an auto manufacturing idea with Chinese characteristics.
From the official data, the measurement of Changan CX70T is 4705*1800*1775mm, and the measurement of Fengjing 580 is 4680*1845*1715mm. In this comparison, Changan CX70T has an advantage in length and height.
Recommendation for specific models, Changan CX70T1.5T Automatic Zunqing Edition
From the performance of the two cars, I am more inclined to the Changan CX70T 1.5T Auto Zunqi Edition. Let's take a look at the price again: the official guide price of Dongfeng Glory 580 1.5T CVT Deluxe Edition is 101,000 yuan, and the CX70T 1.5T Auto Zunqing Edition is 109,000 yuan. Although the official guide price of the Changan CX70T is 9,000 yuan higher than the 1.5TCVT luxury model of the Glory 580, in terms of performance configuration, the Changan CX70T has more fixed-speed cruises, engine start and stop, panoramic images on the right, front and rear than the Glory 580. Radar, independent suspension, electric seat adjustment, second-row seat movement, etc., these configurations have far exceeded the value of 9,000 yuan. Moreover, various preferential policies will be given to e-commerce platforms and terminal distributors, so that the price/performance ratio is higher.
