The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Changan CS35 is 12.89 seconds. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time refers to the time it takes for a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour, which is an intuitive reflection of the car's power. The Changan CS35 is a compact SUV under the Changan brand, with dimensions of 4170 mm in length, 1810 mm in width, and 1670 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2560 mm. The Changan CS35 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 92 kW and a maximum torque of 160 Nm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The front suspension is of the MacPherson strut type, while the rear suspension features a torsion beam setup.
I specifically tested the Changan CS35, and the actual 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the 1.6L version is around 12 to 13 seconds. This performance isn't particularly fast, especially during initial acceleration where there's noticeable hesitation when you step on the throttle - you need to wait until the RPM exceeds 2,500 before it really gets going. Acceleration becomes even more sluggish with a full load or when the air conditioning is running. That said, it's perfectly adequate for daily commuting, and you can manage overtaking by revving the engine higher - the smooth coordination between the engine and transmission is a plus. For those seeking more spirited driving, I'd recommend considering the CS35Plus with the BlueCore 1.4T engine, which offers significantly quicker acceleration.
