What's your comment on Changan Automobile?

Changan Automobile, as an old-fashioned automobile enterprise among China's independent brands, is the parent company of China Bingzhuang Group, and has transformed from a military enterprise to a civilian automobile manufacturer. It is a suitable central enterprise. At present, it can be said that the development in recent years is obvious to all, from a car enterprise mainly focusing on commercial vehicles to an enterprise with four major brands, such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles. After a period of precipitation, the market performance is still excellent. After 20 12 -20 14, the overall sales volume has been rising all the way, but from 20 15 to now, what is the overall level of Changan Automobile? Let me analyze it for you.

The first thing to say is the overall technical level of Changan Automobile. As we all know, the biggest gap between independent brands and joint venture brands is not the price and configuration, but the technical research results in engines, transmissions, chassis adjustment, safe body and so on. From this point of view, the technology accumulation of Changan Automobile is relatively rich compared with ordinary independent brands. Its research centers are all over Italy, Britain, Japan and other major automobile developed areas. By setting up research centers around the world and recruiting automobile professionals from all over the world, Changan Automobile has made great progress in shape design, power system, safety performance and overall adjustment. Research centers all over the world have their own clear division of labor. It can be said that each department has its own clear tasks, and the division of labor is quite clear. For example, the Italian research center mainly focuses on automobile modeling, the British research center mainly focuses on engine technology, the Japanese research center mainly focuses on interior design, and the American R&D center mainly focuses on chassis adjustment and matching.

With the foundation of R&D ability as a guarantee, the results of R&D are still relatively good from the current effect. On the engine side, Changan Automobile recently launched its own Blue Whale series engine. Of course, the previous Blue Whale Power 2.0T also belongs to the category of blue whales. On the basis of combining the world's advanced technology, a brand-new blue whale power modular platform is launched, and the power performance of 1.4T and 1.5T engines is quite rapid. It can be said that it has obvious advantages over domestic engines in starting and subsequent power output. Generally speaking, the engine of Changan Automobile is still very leading in the current domestic automobile market.

Let's talk about the gearbox. Changan Automobile currently has its own transmission research and development capabilities. As can be seen from the Blue Whale power platform released by Changan Automobile, there is a 7-speed power shift, which is not original by Changan, but also obtained through independent research and development with the support of some big-name gearbox companies. Changan Automobile, as a strategic partner of Aisin, enjoys the priority distribution right on Aisin's 6AT gearbox, which means that its advantages in this respect are fully guaranteed. For most domestic car companies, such an innate advantage is hard to obtain. Some models currently on sale are equipped with Aisin's 6AT gearbox. In this respect, the automatic transmission model of Changan Automobile has a unique advantage, and it belongs to such a leader among domestic automatic transmission boxes.

Let's talk about chassis adjustment. The chassis adjustment of Changan Automobile is mainly undertaken by American Design Center. Among the models on sale, taking CS55 as an example, the support and comfort of this car chassis are well balanced. It can be said that the overall performance is at the top level in the independent brand camp, and even has the ability to surpass some joint venture brand models. The adjustment of the chassis is more in line with the comprehensive use needs of most domestic car owners. From several aspects, Changan Automobile's comprehensive ability among its own brands is relatively strong, which is also in line with its first-line independent brand positioning.

Then there is its model positioning level. In recent years, independent brands have been bewitched by various consulting companies to launch their own high-end series, hoping to make the brand upward and increase the premium of products. For example, Great Wall launched Weipai, Geely launched Ke Ling, and Changan, as an old independent brand, did not rush to launch a brand new brand. It is estimated that high-end brands have been brewing for some time. In view of the current depressed automobile market, the main focus is on the exploration of models, trying to save Changan Automobile's shortcomings in design and overall product strength.

The above is my personal opinion. If you have other opinions, please leave a comment.
