2 Answers
The body dimensions of the Changan CS55 are 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1690mm in height, which are official data. The length of the Changan CS55 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The Changan CS55 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 115kW, a maximum torque of 225Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 2000-4000rpm. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89', the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
The Changan CS55 typically has a body length of about 4500 mm, a width of 1855 mm, a height of 1690 mm, and a wheelbase of around 2650 mm. As a long-time SUV driver, I find these dimensions quite suitable—it doesn’t feel bulky for daily driving. The length and width are well-balanced, making it agile on city streets, and the rearview mirror assist system is very practical for parking. The higher height ensures a commanding view and stable highway driving without feeling floaty. The reasonable wheelbase provides spacious rear seating, making it comfortable for friends or shopping trips without feeling cramped. Overall, the dimensions are well-balanced for a compact SUV, and fuel consumption is controlled effectively—not too large to be inefficient. I’ve also noticed that these parameters contribute to the car’s proportions, giving it a sleek, sporty look from the side. In terms of space utilization, the rear seats can be folded down to expand the trunk, making it more than enough for family trips with tents and luggage.
