Changan CS55 PLUS overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior design of the CS55 PLUS features a prominent geometric front grille that integrates with full LED headlights. Sharp body lines run along the sides, leading to a rear end marked by interconnected LED taillights and an aerodynamic spoiler. The crossover comes standard with 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 225/55R19 tires, which contribute to its confident stance and a ground clearance of 190 mm.
Interior
Inside, the CS55 PLUS is equipped with eco-leather upholstery, a digital instrument cluster, and a large central touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Comfort features include heated seats, climate control, and a choice of either a standard sunroof or a panoramic roof depending on the trim level. Higher trims add a wireless charging pad and a six-speaker audio system.
Performance
Power comes from a 1.5-liter Bluecore turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 181 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. This unit is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (7-DCT) that sends power exclusively to the front wheels. Drivers can select between Eco, Normal, and Sport modes. The setup allows the crossover to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds while achieving a combined fuel consumption rating of 6.7 liters per 100 km.
Practicality
As a five-seater compact crossover, the CS55 PLUS offers a 475-liter luggage compartment, accommodating daily cargo needs and light travel gear. Its ground clearance of 190 mm allows it to navigate moderate road imperfections and curbs comfortably. The rear seats can be folded to expand cargo capacity, and the cabin features numerous storage pockets alongside front and rear armrests for occupant convenience.
Safety and tech
The crossover features a solid array of safety systems, including electronic stability control, hill descent control, and tire pressure monitoring. Higher trims introduce advanced driver aids such as an adaptive cruise control system, a 360-degree camera system, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, and traffic jam assist. Airbag coverage varies from four to six bags, including curtain airbags on top-tier models.
Buyer notes
