An all-new Changan CS75 Plus, which was previously code-named C928, was officially unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 30. Although some sources claim that the new car is the fourth generation Changan CS75 Plus, it is really just the second generation, as all the previous three cars were fundamentally the same car that originally debuted in 2019. Unlike the previous facelifts, this is an all-new car and has been comprehensively upgraded in terms of exterior, interior, and power. The new car is expected to launch in September.

At the front, the new car has a very imposing grille with lines that echo the V-shaped symbol of the Changan logo. Running down the sides are huge light clusters, and an LED light strip runs across the whole top of the grille.

Overall, the car plays it quite safe when it comes to design, following fairly stereotypical SUV lines. At the rear, it has a through tail light design punctuated by the Changan logo. The rear spoiler comes down lower than might be expected, and the rear windshield doesn’t seem that big. The new CS75 Plus is significantly larger than its predecessor. This is perhaps most noticeable with the wheelbase, which is now 2800 mm compared with 2710 mm for its predecessor. Length, width, and height are 4770, 1910, and 1695 mm respectively.

Inside, the car has a triple screen design, which takes up most of the dashboard space. Both the LCD instrument panel and the entertainment screen for the front passenger are smaller than the central infotainment screen, although they fit into one housing, which drops lower for the central screen. The drive selector is now located on a steering wheel column-mounted stalk. This move frees up space on the center console, which now has a dual wireless mobile phone charging pad, two cupholders, and a cubbyhole. The multi-function steering wheel has a flat bottom design. Top spec versions gain heating, ventilation, and massage functions for the front seats, which are also zero gravity, meaning that they can recline.

Like all previous versions of the CS75 Plus, the car will initially come as an ICE only. It is powered by a new Blue Whale 1.5T engine, which provides maximum power of 141 kW and a peak torque of 310 Nm. This is coupled to an eight-speed automatic Aisin transmission. The Changan CS75 Plus has L2 driving assistance, which provides functions such as lane-keeping assistant, and APA 5.0 valet parking, which includes a parking memory function.

The Changan CS75 Plus is one of China’s best-selling SUVs. Sales in 2023 were around 244,800 units, and so far in 2024, the car is the fourth best-selling SUV. However, it has not been exported widely, and this could be one of Changan’s aims with the all-new car. It is likely that a PHEV version will be launched in the future.
