Cost-effective sports SUV Changan Auchan X5 PLUS compares with Geely Binyue COOL. Who should I choose？

The progress of domestic cars in recent years is visible to the naked eye. With the development of car manufacturing technology, the quality has also come up. The development of intelligent technology has made rapid progress, and it has also obtained a higher voice over in the new competitive track. The configuration materials are more willing to pay, but the pricing is more realistic. Therefore, if you pursue high cost performance, there is no reason not to choose domestic cars.

For young people, the pursuit of cost-effective car at the same time, but also the pursuit of fashion and sports personality, so the starting price of less than 100,000 Changan Auchan X5 PLUS and Geely Colorful COOL become their popular choice. As for who is more worth buying options, we look for answers from the comparison.

But before the comparison, there is a key information that must be mentioned. At present, Auchan X5 PLUS provides large-amount factory discounts with cash down to 11,000 yuan, that is to say, it only needs 80,900 to start, which is undoubtedly very sincere for a sports SUV with strong comprehensive strength. Colorful COOL currently only provides car purchase policies such as 7,000 yuan discount, which is not as strong as the direct cash discount of Auchan X5 PLUS. So from the perspective of the entry threshold, Auchan X5 PLUS is already the next city.

Power chassis comparison: Auchan X5P LUS is more forcibly updated and stable

Auchan X5 PLUS and Colorful COOL are both the positioning of sports SUVs, and the main groups they face are young people. But what is sports and what is the dish of young people should not just look at appearance, but also look at strength.

Auchan X5 PLUS is equipped with Blue Whale’s new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine + Blue Whale 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission combination. Colorful COOL is only equipped with 1.5TD engine + 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission combination on high-end models. Under the support of greater power and torque, the zero-hundred acceleration of Auchan X5 PLUS is only 7.51 seconds, which is nearly 1 second faster than the high-end models of Colorful COOL, and the power gap can be seen.

In all stages of acceleration, the starting response of the Auchan X5 PLUS is only 360ms, the 0-60kM/h acceleration is only 3.8s, and the 80-120kM/h acceleration is only 5.6s. These results are even better than those of the A-class cars that are the main sports, making the starting, low-speed acceleration, and high-speed acceleration a step faster.

While the power is significantly stronger, the fuel consumption level of the Auchan X5 PLUS is similar to that of Colorado COOL, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 6.25L/100km, which is truly fast and fuel-efficient.

Of course, excellent sports performance comes not only from power, but also from chassis and steering. The Auchan X5 PLUS comes standard with front McPherson/rear multi-link independent suspension, and has undergone targeted adjustment and rigorous road conditions testing, so it has better handling performance and driving quality. The Colorado COOL uses a lower-cost rear torque beam non-independent suspension, which is inherently inferior in handling and comfort. In addition, the Auchan X5 PLUS also uses a three-stage adjustable ESP, which can choose different steering modes according to different driving needs.

In terms of actual driving experience, the Auchan X5 PLUS not only has stronger power output and faster acceleration than the Colorado COOL, but also has less roll in corners and emergency line changes, more accurate directivity, and can enter and exit corners at a faster speed. In the face of road impact, the advantages of four-wheel independent suspension more fully suppress vibration and bounce. In the medium and high-speed area, the chassis feedback of the Auchan X5 PLUS is more textured, and the suppression of wind noise and fetal noise is significantly better. In addition, the brake response of the Auchan X5 PLUS is also more sensitive, with a shorter stroke, which is more in line with the characteristics of sports models.

Space size comparison: the two cars are not at the same level

Young people buying a car not only meet their personal driving and travel needs, but also inevitably have to deal with necessary household and social needs. After all, accompanying family members out, gathering with friends or traveling are all common car scenarios for young people. Therefore, a larger SUV is necessarily a better choice.

Compared with the body size of the Auchan X5 PLUS and the Colorado COOL, the advantage of the former is undoubtedly huge. It can also be seen from the body size that the Auchan X5 PLUS belongs to a compact SUV, while the Colorado COOL belongs to a small SUV, and the two are completely different. Therefore, the riding space of the Auchan X5 PLUS is much more generous, especially the rear space is more stretched than the Colorado COOL, and the luggage compartment space and storage space also show higher practicality.

Although both cars use the design of sports seats, the Auchan X5 PLUS presents a better sense of quality in the materials and craftsmanship of the cockpit. And the unique 30-inch wrapping smart triple screen of the same class forms a more technological atmosphere for the driver. It brings a silky operation experience through the delay-free three-screen interactive interface switching. For example, when encountering a corner to trigger the panorama, the navigation will automatically project the screen to the instrument screen, which is more intuitive and safe; the linkage of cockpit lights, sound effects, seats, etc., can also make the car change into a KTV, gym, game hall in seconds. In addition, because the Auchan X5 PLUS has improved NVH performance at 115 places in the whole car, the silent feeling in the car is far beyond what we expect from 80,000-class SUVs.

With more space, a higher-quality interior atmosphere, and four-wheel independent suspension, the Auchan X5 PLUS can undoubtedly provide a more comfortable driving experience. In contrast, Colorful COOL pays more attention to individuality, while ignoring comfort and practicality to a certain extent, and there are fewer applicable car scenarios.

Differential configuration comparison: both parties have their own advantages

In order to fully reflect the respective configuration advantages of the two cars, we selected the top model for comparison. The two models are Auchan X5 PLUS 1.5T Smart Fun AI Edition and Colorful COOL 1.5TD DCT Battle Edition.

The advantage of Colorful COOL’s differential configuration lies in intelligent driving assistance. Compared with the Auchan X5 PLUS, it has more intelligent driving functions such as parallel line assistance and lane keeping, and the matrix headlights can automatically adjust the far and near light. However, from the perspective of daily driving, many intelligent driving functions are actually not used frequently, and since the Auchan X5 PLUS is also equipped with common intelligent driving functions such as ACC adaptive cruise and 540-degree panoramic images, the difference in car experience is not big.

It is worth mentioning that both vehicles can achieve intelligent parking, intelligent tracking and reversing, and remote parking, but the EaglePilot full-voice automatic parking system equipped with the Auchan X5 PLUS is more intelligent, capable of voice control in addition to key remote control and mobile phone remote control.

The difference in configuration advantage of the Auchan X5 PLUS is in terms of intelligent interaction. It is equipped with the OnStyle 5.1 smart happy cockpit, which has a higher level of intelligent performance. One of the more obvious advantages is that the Auchan X5 PLUS can not only realize intelligent voice control in the car, but also realize full-scene intelligent voice outside the car. For example, saying "X5 drive the car out" outside the car can automatically park out of a narrow parking space, which greatly increases the convenience of using the car.

And through the FaceID 3.0 car internal and external facial recognition system, you can unlock the vehicle by brushing your face outside the car. Through facial recognition, gesture recognition, intelligent voice and other technologies, we have also created a variety of personality scenes such as Mai-free KTV, Auchan Fitness, Auchan Travel, one-click rest for main and co-pilot, and track mode, allowing users to feel more intelligent fun in the car.

In comparison, the intelligent interaction functions of Colorful COOL are more conventional. In-car intelligent voice, three-finger flying screen, audio-visual entertainment, and mobile phone remote control are basically all, and these functions can also be fully realized on the Auchan X5 PLUS.

In terms of comfort configuration, the two cars are not much different, both belong to the superior level of SUVs at the same price, with panoramic sunroof, keyless entry/start, wireless charging of mobile phones, induction wipers, automatic air conditioning, etc. The subtle difference is that the Auchan X5 PLUS has Sony stereo, hot and cold temperature control armrest box, external rearview mirror memory/reversing automatic down-turn, induction trunk, etc., providing a more comprehensive comfort experience, while the Colorful COOL is slightly superior in seat functionality because it is equipped with front seat heating.

Overall, the configuration of both cars is very high, but from the perspective of vehicle usage and value, the Auchan X5 PLUS is still better. Especially in terms of intelligent interaction, the leading intelligent technology of the Auchan X5 PLUS brings more convenience and fun to use the car, showing a higher sense of value in the context of the technology era.

Write at the end:

Auchan X5 PLUS and Colorado COOL have a lot of overlap in price, and both focus on sports and intelligence, thus forming a direct competitive relationship. But in contrast, it is not difficult to find that the Auchan X5 PLUS power chassis performs better and is a more sporty side; the intelligent interaction experience is also more advanced and is a smarter side. In more dimensions, Auchan X5 PLUS has a huge advantage in space size and a more comprehensive configuration, which can well balance comfort and practicality. So on the whole, Auchan X5 PLUS’s product strength is obviously stronger. Coupled with the large cash discounts currently launched by manufacturers, the cost performance is much higher than Colorado COOL, which is obviously a more worthwhile option.
