CHANGAN: I try it UNPREPARED and this happens
Today I'm doing something different: I'm testing a Changan completely blind. No briefing, no prior presentation, and knowing practically nothing about the car.
I get in, start it up, and begin discovering it with you: how the controls work, how the power windows lower, how the brakes respond, how it turns, how it accelerates, and what sensations it conveys from the very first minute.
This model—also known in other markets as the Deepal S7 within the Changan group—uses an architecture typical of many current electric vehicles: an electric motor on the rear axle → rear-wheel drive. It's a real test, unscripted and unprepared, in which you'll see exactly what I see for the first time. A different way of analyzing a car, especially from a brand like Changan, which has just arrived in Spain and is still unfamiliar to many.
In the video, I review key aspects:
Control functionality and ergonomics
Perceived quality and interior design
Engine response and dynamic behavior
Real-time driving experience
Unfiltered first impressions
If you're considering a Chinese car or simply want to know what Changan is like in Spain, here's a different, direct, and unprepared test.
