2 Answers
The Changan CS35 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine. The 1.6L engine delivers a maximum power of 92kW and a maximum torque of 160Nm, while the 1.5T engine offers a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 215Nm. The transmission system paired with these engines includes a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard features on the Changan CS35 include a rear parking radar, power windows, and an LCD display. Higher trim models come equipped with features such as a power sunroof, automatic air conditioning, and a multifunction leather steering wheel. In terms of suspension, the Changan CS35 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
As a seasoned driver who has owned this car, I must say the Changan CS35 commonly uses a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine, model JL478QEB, with a maximum horsepower of 125 hp and torque of 160 Nm. This engine is quite reliable in design, paired with either manual or automatic transmission models, delivering smooth power at startup and fully capable for urban commuting. I've tested it on long trips with an average fuel consumption around 7 liters, which is quite economical. It employs multi-point fuel injection technology, making maintenance simple—just an oil change at a regular repair shop is enough, hassle-free. Of course, the newer CS35 Plus comes with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, boosting horsepower to 156 hp for stronger acceleration, though at a slightly higher price. If you prioritize durability and low fuel consumption, the 1.6L is the top choice, but if you're after power, I recommend test-driving the turbo version—both are great for family use. The engine itself is quiet, with a well-matched chassis offering a comfortable and stable ride, free from annoying noises. I think this car is quite worthwhile among domestic SUVs.
