2022 Changan CS35 Plus, Best Budget Upcoming SUV?

Over the past few years, various automakers have realized the potential for a vast SUV market in Pakistan. Changan started with Oshan X7, and with steady sales and positive feedback, Changan has decided to launch CS35 Plus in the Pakistani market. Globally it comes in three different versions. In this guide, we will review the Changan CS35 plus specs, features, and performance of Changan CS35 Plus.

Engine and Performance

 

 

The Changan CS35 Plus is equipped with a 1.4L Turbocharged Petrol engine, producing the equivalent of 158hp and 250Nm of torque. It is hard to imagine that a 1400cc motor could generate 158 horsepower and the equivalent of 250 Nm torque. It is coupled with a seven-speed Wet DCT transmission. While not affecting the total performance, an improved internal combustion system can reduce fuel consumption by 20% and carbon emissions by 40 percent. If this Changan SUV goes on sale at a competitive market price, it will give the competition a hard time.
