Changan Auchan is a seven-seater car from Changan Automobile that made its debut at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show. In 2017, Changan Automobile officially changed the name of the "Changan Commercial" brand to the "Changan Auchan" brand. All the models of the former Changan Commercial Group, including Auchan, Changan CX70 and Oliwei, as well as the Auchan A800 unveiled at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, belong to the "Changan Auchan" brand.
Auchan A800 uses Dongan Power code DAM15B 1.5L engine, from the book data, Changan Auchan's 1.5L engine maximum power and peak torque are higher than Baojun 730. At low to medium speeds, the output of this engine is relatively easy, and the oil release coordination is relatively easy to control. When the engine speed exceeds 5000rpm, you will immediately notice that the power output of the vehicle begins to show signs of deterioration. As a car with a curb weight of 1315kg, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 11.93 seconds, which is not easy to convince consumers. Although Auchan is equipped with electronic stability control, due to the high center of gravity and the heavy steering wheel, the play of electronic stability control is completely restricted, and the steering appears to be "swaggering".
Auchan's interior design is in charge of the Japanese R&D center, and the design style of Mercedes-Benz S is boldly borrowed from a car of tens of thousands of yuan, and the actual effect is shocking. The sense of luxury and technology of the Auchan center console is also difficult to match in the joint venture models below 200,000 yuan, but due to the cost of materials, the actual use of the feeling is not so "luxurious".
Auchan's seats adopt a 2 3 2 layout, with the aim of allowing more passengers to enjoy the comfort of the second row. Because the second row of seats is too wide, it is difficult for passengers to get to the third row. Even on the latest high-spec version of the Auchan, there is no seat height adjustment in the driver's seat, and the comfort of long-distance driving is worrying. Auchan's chassis is indeed a bright spot, in addition to the engine noise is more obvious, wind noise and road noise are controlled within a reasonable range, although the shock absorption effect is not easy to talk about, but at least it will not throw passengers out of the seats. However, one of the significant problems with Auchan's cabin is that the smell of plastic is too pungent, and it takes a month or two for the newly bought new car to dissipate.
According to the annual number of failures of JD Power (China) in 2016, Changan Car was 144 times, and the industry average was 146 times. The failure rate of many reliable brands is far below the industry average, so the overall reliability of Changan is very unsatisfactory.
In terms of safety, Changan Auchan did not participate in any form of crash test, but the front dual airbags and seat belts were not fastened and did not fall on Auchan. In terms of active safety, Auchan is comprehensively beyond its peers, not only equipped with ABS EBD and electrically heated rearview mirrors that are not popular in the same class, but also equipped with body stability system and hill assist on the top model.
