Externally, the compact SUV has caught up with the older models, but there are fewer physical buttons in the cabin.
Branded images The modernized cross Changan CS55 Plus was posted online a couple of days ago. And today a presentation took place in China and sales started. Let us remind you that Changan himself considers such an SUV to be a new, third generation. Although in fact this is only a rather modest restyling of the “second” model, which has been in service since 2021. By the way, the company considered the slightly redesigned CS75 Plus and Uni-T crossovers to be the next generation.
It was — it became
The CS55 Plus gets a new radiator grille – it is now frameless, like the Uni series models. The bumpers were also replaced, and round exhaust pipes appeared at the rear instead of trapezoidal linings. In addition, the crossover received a new design of wheels (18- or 19-inch). The length has increased by 24 mm to 4539 mm, the remaining dimensions are the same: width – 1865 mm, height – 1680 mm, wheelbase – 2656 mm.

The only significant new thing in the cabin is a touch strip under the central air deflectors; climate control and other functions have been placed on it (the pre-reform SUV has a row of physical keys in this place). Well, the new cup holders on the tunnel were covered with a sliding section.
The restyled Changan CS55 Plus is offered in three trim levels, while its predecessor, which is still in service, has six. The model still includes a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, all-round cameras and adaptive cruise control.
