Changan Automobile is the core vehicle enterprise of China South Industries Equipment Group. You may not know that the history of Changan Automobile can be traced back to the Shanghai Artillery Bureau founded by Li Hongzhang. It has such an illustrious history. How is Changan Automobile doing now?

First of all, Changan Automobile began to develop in the direction of automobiles more than ten years ago. Among its own brand models, Changan Automobile is known for its quality. Especially in recent years, because Changan Automobile attaches great importance to design, technology and technology, the overall quality of products has improved a lot compared with previous years, and sales have also increased, and it has now ranked among the top three independent brands.

In today's environment of rapid development of the automobile industry, changing demand and rapid iteration of technology, Changan Automobile is also constantly strengthening the collaboration and integration of different divisions of labor and resources in science and education, and strengthening the connection between upstream, midstream and downstream. Downstream technology innovation, build a customer-centric, product-oriented, operation-oriented process system and index system.

So far, the effect is very obvious. In the past November, Changan sold more than 120,000 vehicles, which is not inferior to that of the joint venture brand. Ranked among the top 10 engines in China. This Blue Whale engine has excellent performance in both power and fuel consumption.

Changan Automobile is one of the few independent brands that use Aisin Seiki AT, and it is also one of the few companies to independently develop 6AT. It's a strange and frustrating question. The 6AT developed by Dongan Automobile Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Changan, is of excellent quality and has been used by independent brands such as Haima. However, Dong'an is still not as well-known as these foreign brands.

In the consumer market, at least at this stage, there are still many people who like it. This is one of the reasons why the relationship between Chang'an and Dong'an is so awkward. As for the Aisin brand AT gearbox, it is not appropriate to give good reviews, because car brands that use the brand's 6 8AT, such as Volkswagen, Peugeot, Volvo and Toyota, all have a common problem with shifting gears.

The AT is also an automatic transmission upgraded from a manual transmission. Didn't say that AT would be smoother. It's just that there were too many problems with the original dry dual-clutch transmission, so AT** companies jumped at the chance and added extra features to this model. I got some unreasonable labels and that's it.

Changan Automobile's brand structure is based on customers, and in order to meet the needs of different market segments, Changan Automobile has formed four independent automobile brands: Changan Automobile, Auchan Automobile, Kaicheng Automobile, and AB Automobile (high-end). Brand segmentation, each brand is more detailed and professional!

Focusing on R&D investment and realizing the global collaborative R&D pattern of "six countries and nine regions", Changan Automobile has never been stingy in R&D. No matter how difficult it is, 5% of the sales revenue is invested in R&D every year. Since the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", a total of nearly 90 billion yuan has been invested to establish a system covering collision safety, vibration and noise.

194 international advanced laboratories in 16 fields such as braking performance, chassis testing and testing. Drive system. Secondly, Changan Automobile has invested a total of 4.3 billion yuan to build a global R&D center covering an area of more than 1,000 acres in Chongqing. At the same time, in Beijing, Hebei, Hefei, Turin, Yokohama, Birmingham, and Detroit.

Munich and other places in Germany established the "Six Nations and Nine". "Bottom" global collaborative R&D pattern! Changan Automobile's R&D strength has ranked first in China's automotive industry for five consecutive years. At present, Changan sedan is relatively independent as a whole and has distinctive family characteristics. However, this car revision was seriously plagiarized and caused a lot of criticism on the Internet.

As an independent brand, it is good to catch up after falling behind, but you must have your own characteristics so that others can remember you. At present, my Chang'an has traveled 41,000 kilometers. There are no major problems other than the airbag failure light coming on and replacing the airbag. In terms of details, the workmanship is not fine enough, and the fuel consumption performance is average.

The after-sales service is not bad, active and enthusiastic, and takes the initiative to solve problems. As a small family car that costs tens of thousands of yuan at every turn, self-owned brand cars are better than joint venture cars at the same price in terms of comfort and experience.

Overall, it's okay, but there are still more minor problems with domestic cars than with joint venture cars. Joint venture vehicles are subject to comprehensive inspections, while domestically produced vehicles are subject to random inspections due to lower profits. In addition, Changan Automobile is very good at NVH, i.e., noise and vibration. Yes, those who are more concerned about this aspect can consider buying.
