What kind of car does a Chinese family need? We can look at a data.
Based on the data of the seventh census and the latest data released by the traffic management department, it can be calculated that the per capita car ownership in my country is currently only 0.16. In the United States, Germany, Japan and South Korea, the data are 0.81, 0.63, 0.62, and 0.47 respectively. It can be seen that although my country's automobile industry has developed rapidly in recent years, from the perspective of per capita automobile ownership, there is a considerable gap between developed countries in Europe and the United States, and neighboring countries Japan and South Korea.
This shows that most of my country's automobile users are still based on family units, with many scenarios for using cars, high rear seat usage rate, and uneven road conditions and environments in various regions. Based on the above reasons, it can be a good explanation for why Chinese consumers like SUV models with large space, spacious rear seats and rich configurations.
So what kind of car is the best solution for Chinese family SUVs? In order to find this answer, Uncle Che found Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji and Changan CS75 PLUS to see who meets this standard better.
Appearance is the first step for consumers to establish a good impression of the brand and car models. Therefore, for car companies, their models can have a very recognizable and high-value appearance, which can effectively increase the sales of the entire vehicle. So compared with the first item, let’s take a look at the differences in appearance between the two cars.
Let’s first take a look at the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS. In terms of appearance, the front changes of the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS are quite prominent. The entire series comes with LED through-type daytime running light strips, which are seamlessly connected with the integrated headlight group, which is a relatively concise design. Moreover, in order to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers, the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS provides two styles of grille design, and everyone can choose according to their preferences.
From the side, the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS has not changed any changes compared to the old model. The only change is the addition of 18-inch and 19-inch new style rims.
The biggest change in the rear of the car is that it adopts a through-type LED light group design like the front and rear, forming an effective response. In addition, the forked taillight group shape also makes the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS more recognizable when lit at night.
Let’s take a look at Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji. From the front of the car, in addition to the split headlight design, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji also effectively stretches the visual width of the front of the car. In addition, the lower guard plate equipped under the front bumper also brings a bit of wildness to the whole vehicle.
From the side, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji adopts a two-color body design, the roof, A/B columns, exterior mirror base + shell, and wheel rims are all black, which has a strong sense of fashion.
Follow, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji's taillights, like the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS, also adopt a through-type design, which effectively echoes the through-type light strip on the front of the car.
In terms of size, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji is better than the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS in terms of length, width, and wheelbase, which means that Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji can provide users with a more spacious riding space.
Overall, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji and the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS have extremely strong recognition, but Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji's two-color body and larger body size are believed to be favored by more young consumers.
Cars should be pleasing to others and to yourself, especially for a home SUV. So compared with the second item, let’s take a look at the interior design and configuration differences of the two cars.
Let’s take a look at the second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS. In terms of interior, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS has almost no changes compared to the old models. However, the 12.3-inch dual-screen design still has strong visual impact. In addition, the three color-blocking interior solutions of gray/black, red/black, and blue/white also provide consumers with a sense of freshness.
Let’s take a look at Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji. Like the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji also adopts a dual-screen design, with an overall size of 24.6 inches, and a strong sense of technology.In addition, the double-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel similar to the gamepad design is also very unique.
Next, focus on the differences in configurations of the two cars. Uncle Che chose Haoji 2022 Mach Power 1.5T Daxing Edition·Zhihe Changan CS75 PLUS 2022 second-generation 1.5T automatic and noble model, which is priced at 129,900 yuan, to compare it to see who has more advantages. In terms of active and passive safety configuration, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji is obviously much richer than the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS. Among them, the lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist system , lane centering maintenance, and road traffic sign recognition can effectively improve driving safety. In terms of driving control, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji and the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS are all very rich in configurations, but Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji's driving assistance level is higher, reaching L2 level, which can further improve driving safety.
In terms of external anti-theft configuration, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji and the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS configuration are completely consistent. From the perspective of practicality, both cars are very high.

In terms of multimedia, the difference between Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji and the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS is a slight difference, but Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji supports Huawei HiCar, which can effectively improve the expansion of usage.
In terms of seat configuration, Dongfeng Fengshenhao is in the adjustment range of the passenger seat, and the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS is in the front seat with heating function, it depends on how you choose.
Overall, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji has a richer configuration compared to the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS when the car price is 3,000 yuan, especially in terms of active and passive safety and driving assistance, it is far better than the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS. How to choose depends on everyone's needs.
For a home SUV, power is always the most important reference for young consumers, so compared with the third item, let’s take a look at the differences in the power system of the two cars. In terms of power, in the case of both 1.5T fuel engines, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji's power parameters are better than the second generation Changan CS75 PLUS. Although the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS provides a 2.0T model with a larger displacement, it is still at a disadvantage compared to the Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji 1.5T hybrid model, and the Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji 1.5T hybrid version also has fuel economy that the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS 2.0T model does not have.
Uncle Che summarized: Back to the beginning, what kind of car does Chinese families need? Through comparison, we can see that Changan CS75 PLUS has actually done a good job, but compared with Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji, which has stronger product strength, Changan CS75 PLUS is still slightly inferior. In Uncle Che’s opinion, what consumers need is nothing more than a product that is good-looking and capable, can meet the needs of family members, is comfortable, has excellent quality and has a reputation. Dongfeng Fengshenhaoji undoubtedly met the requirements of Chinese consumers in all aspects. So, who is the best solution for Chinese family SUVs? Do you have the answer in your mind?
