Does the Changan CS75PLUS have a 7-seater option?

Currently, the Changan CS75PLUS model does not offer a 7-seater variant. Below is relevant information about the Changan CS75PLUS: 1. Model Introduction: Changan CS75PLUS – An A+ class SUV as tomorrow's vehicle. As another significant model under Changan Automobile's "Third Entrepreneurship – Innovation and Entrepreneurship Plan" strategy, the CS75PLUS is user-oriented. Based on in-depth insights into future mobility lifestyles and vehicle trends, it combines foresight, Changan's strong reputation among 17 million users, and core technologies to deliver triple tomorrow values in mainstream price segments: tomorrow's intelligence, tomorrow's power, and tomorrow's safety. It is a "future-ready" vehicle designed to meet users' evolving needs, offering a forward-looking choice for young consumers with visionary and innovative mindsets. 2. Model Highlights: Dual safety standards for tomorrow's safety: Inheriting the full DNA of the CS75, the CS75PLUS achieves dual 5-star safety ratings through dual evaluation standards (C-NCAP and China Insurance Automotive Safety Index - C-IASI), creating a double 5-star safety vehicle.

As an enthusiast who has been following domestic SUVs, I noticed that the Changan CS75 PLUS primarily features a 5-seat design. The car offers quite spacious room, with the rear seats comfortably accommodating three adults without feeling cramped. The manufacturer's design mainly considers trunk practicality – for instance, during Chinese New Year trips back home, loading three or four suitcases plus New Year goods is no problem at all. If a third-row seat were forcibly added, the trunk wouldn't even have space for a stroller. In fact, many families find a 5-seater completely sufficient these days. If you truly need a 7-seater, you might want to check out the CS95, whose third row is quite suitable for children. By the way, the rear seats of the CS75 PLUS can be folded down to serve as a double bed, making it especially convenient for camping.

Last week, I accompanied a friend to a 4S dealership to test drive the 2023 CS75 PLUS. I specifically asked the sales consultant and confirmed that all variants are five-seater versions. The salesperson gave a very practical explanation: this model focuses on the 'large five-seater' concept, with its 2710mm wheelbase space primarily allocated to the second row and trunk. For a family of six, you can actually fit a slimmer adult in the middle after placing two child safety seats in the back. Later, we checked out the seven-seater CS95, but found the third-row access quite cumbersome - even kids didn't want to sit there. Now thinking about it, five-seaters are more hassle-free since they don't require the more frequent inspections that seven-seaters do every year.

After thoroughly checking Changan's official website and vehicle manuals, the CS75 PLUS indeed never had a seven-seater version. Adding a third row to such a compact SUV feels quite forced—you might as well go for an MPV directly. A friend of mine owns a seven-seat SUV, and the third row is basically used as storage space; passengers can barely stretch their legs when squeezed in there. The real selling point of the CS75 PLUS is its completely flat second-row floor, giving middle passengers room to place their feet. If you genuinely need seven seats, consider the Oshan X7 PLUS—its top trim comes with a third row. Just a heads-up, though: insurance and vehicle taxes are higher for seven-seaters.

I've been in car modification for ten years, and I'm often asked if the CS75 PLUS can be converted to a seven-seater. To be responsible, adding a third row privately is considered illegal modification and will definitely fail the annual inspection. The length from the C-pillar to the rear suspension of this car is insufficient, and forced modification would compress the safety buffer zone. There's a reason why the manufacturer doesn't offer a seven-seater version—the full-size spare tire and fuel tank are hidden under the trunk, leaving no space for seat rails. If you really want a seven-seater SUV, I recommend checking out the Tiggo 8 PRO, which comes with a third row in its original design.

After comparing many SUVs in the same price range, the CS75 PLUS's insistence on a five-seat layout is actually quite smart. The seven-seat version not only requires higher compulsory insurance fees but also has extremely low usage of the third row. When I take my family on trips with this car—four adults plus a child—the trunk can easily fit two 28-inch suitcases and a stroller. With a seven-seater, the trunk would barely hold a carry-on. Now, newer models like the third-generation H6 and the Boyue L also stick to five seats, showing that manufacturers prioritize practical space. If you really need seven seats, an MPV like the Trumpchi M6 with sliding doors would be a better choice for easier entry and exit.
