The 2022 Changan CS35 Plus

First off, there’s the CS35 Plus’ front collision warning system. As its name implies, it provides the driver visual alerts via the vehicle’s digital instrument display. It does this whenever a frontal collision is imminent. An audible alarm will also be heard, providing ample time for the driver to apply the brakes. 

If that isn’t enough, the CS35 Plus also comes with autonomous emergency braking. So essentially, this model can apply additional brake force during potentially dangerous situations.  

Convenience is also a huge factor in driving. To this end, the CS35 Plus also gets adaptive cruise control. It is able to adjust the vehicle’s speed actively, in accordance with the car in front.  

Parking is also made easy and secure with this Changan model’s around view camera and monitor system. It gives a 360-degree view of the car’s immediate surroundings via HD quality video. During sudden braking or accidental collision, it also has an emergency video recording function.

And of course, the CS35 Plus also gets the standard safety equipment you’d expect from a modern vehicle. It has anti-lock braking with electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control, hill-hold and hill-descent control, as well as child-proof locks and ISOFIX child seat anchors. It also has tire pressure monitoring. 

Lastly, the CS35 Plus also comes kitted out with a six-piece airbag system. These are front airbags, front cabin side airbags, as well as rear side airbags. 

The best part about this is that this level of safety from a crossover can be had for an affordable price. For your benefit, here are the prices for all three of the Changan CS35 Plus’ variants.
