Changan CS35 PLUS overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
Following the 2021 styling update, the CS35 PLUS displays a more blocky and assertive road presence. The front end is dominated by a large trapezoidal grille and slim LED daytime running lights connected by a chrome horizontal bar. Distinctive red accent lines run along the front bumper and lower side trim to give the SUV a sporty appearance. The vehicle features a ground clearance of 180 mm, helping it navigate curbs and uneven terrain. Buyers can choose between 17-inch alloy wheels on basic trims or larger 18-inch wheels on higher-tier packages.
Interior
The interior of the CS35 PLUS is built with a modern layout and is available in two-tone color schemes. The dashboard is anchored by a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and voice commands, alongside a digital TFT instrument display. Depending on the trim, buyers can get eco-leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat with memory settings, and heated front and rear seats. The trunk offers a cargo capacity of 403 liters, which provides useful everyday utility for groceries and small luggage.
Performance
Power is provided by a 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-four gasoline engine that produces 150 horsepower and 255 Nm of torque. This engine drives the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The crossover accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 11 seconds and can reach a top speed of 200 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 10.3 liters per 100 km in city driving, 7.2 liters on the highway, and 7.6 liters combined.
Practicality
Measuring 4,330 mm in length with a 2,600 mm wheelbase, the CS35 PLUS is compact enough to navigate tight city streets and park in small spaces. The 403-liter cargo bay is sufficient for daily chores, and a 53-liter fuel tank offers decent driving range. With its front-wheel-drive setup and 180 mm ground clearance, the vehicle is optimized for urban paved roads and occasional light gravel paths rather than serious off-road use.
Safety and tech
The safety suite receives notable updates for 2021. Basic models come equipped with standard front and side airbags, a rear view camera, and rear parking sensors. Higher trims introduce advanced active safety systems, including forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), and adaptive cruise control. Tech convenience features like keyless entry, remote engine start, and a wireless phone charging pad are also available.
Buyer notes
Buyers browsing the 2021 CS35 PLUS will find distinct equipment levels. The base Comfort trim offers essential convenience features, while the Luxe trim adds important safety features like autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, along with comfort items such as heated rear seats and leatherette upholstery. Buyers should note that exact trim availability and package names can vary depending on the local market.
