The Changan CS35 is a 5-door SUV from Changan Automobile, built from 2012 to 2022, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine.
What is underneath
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2550 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Changan CS35 Plus; assembly was at Chongqing. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Tesla Model X, the Mazda CX-5, the Peugeot 208 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Changan Automobile catalogue sit the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
