The Changan CS85 is a 5-door wagon from Changan Automobile, built from 2019 to 2025, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 1.5 L JL476ZQCA I4.
Under the skin
Power comes from 1.5 L JL476ZQCA I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1685-1730 kg. It shifts through a 7-speed DCT / 8-speed automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2705 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Beijing, China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model Y, the Kia EV6 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Changan Automobile catalogue sit the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
