Style rivals safety: Changan CS75 Plus vs. Honda HR-V

Relative newcomer Changan is competing in the crossover market with its CS75 Plus, against more established players like Honda with its HR-V

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How much is the Changan CS75 Plus?

    The CS75 Plus comes in one variant and retails at P1.379 million.
  • How much is the Honda HR-V?

    The HR-V is available in two variants, with the top-of-the-line HR-V V Turbo carrying a sticker price of P1.598 million.
  • The 2022 CS75 has been turning heads since its 2019 international debut. The CS75 Plus'  muscular exterior is finished in aluminum embellishments, LED headlamps with daytime running lights, and LED tail lamps. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels and a panoramic sunroof complete the look

    The swoopy styling theme continues inside the CS75 Plus, which features a cool black and fiery red color combo. Despite the raging red color, the cabin is equipped with an air-conditioning system to ensure that coolness is experienced in every corner of the cabin. What also makes the climate control exceptional is its anti-bacterial and anti-viral air filter that attains 97.7% filtration of 0.3-micron particles. With this quality of filtration system, the vehicle’s safety level is equivalent to that of an N95 mask.

    A 12-inch touchscreen upon which a multimedia system is platformed enables audio and video playback, and smartphone connectivity through the Easy Connection mobile app. It can also display the viewpoint of 360-degree camera of the 2022 CS75 Plus. This driver assistance feature serves as a driver's guide in parking, turning, and backing up safely.

    Behind the 2022 CS75's imposing grille resides a 1.5-liter engine that delivers a maximum power output of 178ps and a maximum torque of 265Nm. The engine is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission, and has driving modes Eco, Normal, or Sport.

    To guarantee the protection of every occupant, the CS75 Plus is equipped with a six-airbag system. It also features intelligent safety technologies such as traction control system (TCS), electronic stability control (ESC), hill hold control (HHC), hill descent control (HDC), electronic parking brake, a 360-degree panoramic camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

    While the CS75 wears a sleek look, the 2022 HR-V taken on a minimalist approach. The HR-V's defining features are mostly found in its front and rear ends, with only squinting headlights flanking a mesh type grille and the rear sporting a LED taillight bar. Standard LEDs with turn lights, auto on/off function, and Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), and 17-inch wheels add style to the HR-V as well as   improved driving safety. 

    Inside, the 2022 HR-V's interior is easy on the eye and is easy to use. There's the infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that allows the driver to access several mobile apps. Comfort is provided by a single-zone automatic climate control with rear air vents, and the new air diffusion system. That clever air-directing system allows occupants to, well, direct the airflow to whichever may they please.

    The most novel interior feature of the HR-V is its ULT seats, which can be adjusted in three different modes — Utility Mode, Long Mode, and Tall Mode — depending on what size of cargo is needed to be accommodated. 

    The 2022 HR-V also comes standard with Honda Sensing, which offers extensive protection for drivers and passengers by giving warnings and performing automatic actions to lessen the risk of accidents. The Honda Sensing does this through many ways — all of which are effective, as we've seen not long ago

    Lastly, we come to yet another HR-V highlight: Its 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine that produces 177ps and 240Nm of torque. The mighty power figures are sent to the front wheels as they are managed by a CVT. 

    So, does the CS75 Plus pack enough to steal the sales away from the HR-V? The answer lies in the spec sheets of the two models below.
