AYEAR after its launch, the new Changan CS35 Plus continues to turn heads and attract more buyers — thanks to its style, in-car entertainment, and advanced safety features.

This “go-anywhere” SUV does not miss a beat either in power and fuel efficiency mode, in both highway and city driving.

At the heart of the New Changan CS35 Plus is the patented Changan BlueCore engine technology that provides a powerful, clean and quiet driving experience. Changan BlueCore counts among China’s Top 10 engines, having achieved high standards in acceleration and the reduction of noise vibration and carbon emissions. It is also garnering nods from global and Philippine motoring experts for its power, stability, and fuel-efficiency.

The 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine delivers a maximum of 160 ps and 260 Nm of torque. Paired with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) system, the CS35’s driver can effortlessly and seamlessly shift gears and get ample acceleration on demand.

Expect a smooth and stable ride with the MacPherson suspension at the front and a torsion beam suspension at the back to balance driving comfort with durability.

Meanwhile, its electronic power steering gives drivers three options: Sport for more stable control while going at high speed; Comfortable for lighter control while parking or navigating through traffic; and Standard for daily city driving under normal road conditions.

The Changan CS35 can also be a miser. During the recent fuel economy run organized by the Automobile Association of the Philippines, the Changan CS35 Plus 1.4T DCT logged an impressive 21.495 kilometers per liter (kpl) for driving at the NLEx and 15.25 kpl for city driving.

With these not-so-basic performance features, the new Changan CS35 Plus makes for one mean contender in its segment with added bragging rights of peace of mind and one of the industry’s lowest ownership costs.
