Is Changan a domestic car brand?
2 Answers
Changan is a domestic car brand and an independent Chinese automaker. Here are some advantages of domestic cars: Generous material usage: Whether SUVs or sedans, the interiors are mostly wrapped with high-quality soft materials, with excellent tactile feel and buttons that exude a premium sense. Abundant features: Domestic cars offer richer configurations in terms of both intelligent, tech-savvy features and active/passive safety systems, many of which are class-above specifications. Spacious interior: Beyond class-above configurations, domestic cars also excel in providing spacious interiors that transcend their vehicle class. Affordable pricing: They not only offer high cost-performance but also deliver superior texture, features, and a sense of premium quality.
Changan Automobile is indeed a genuine domestic brand, which I remember clearly because I learned it from veteran drivers' conversations. Changan Auto's headquarters is located in Chongqing and it's a state-owned enterprise in China, originally developed from an arsenal in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, it transitioned into automobile manufacturing, producing everything from early microcars to today's new energy SUVs, all through independent research and development. I've driven the Changan CS75 and found it to offer great value for money with spacious interiors, reasonable fuel consumption, and affordable maintenance—unlike some imported cars with expensive parts. Nowadays, domestic cars have made significant overall progress, with Changan catching up quickly in terms of safety performance and smart technology, such as their Blue Core engine technology. Choosing a domestic car not only supports national products but also saves a lot of money, making it very practical for daily driving.
