The test drive opportunity is a perfect way for you and your family to get to know more about the Chinese automaker’s new and bold-looking crossover model. It is made possible by the 2022 Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Test Drive Festival, which is now in its second leg.

What you can expect from the Changan CS55 Plus right off the bat is its youthful design accentuated by the large 3D grille at the front. It is surrounded by sleek LED headlamps, as well as sharp sculpting on the front fascia. A set of 19-inch alloy wheels come standard across all variants, namely Lite, Hype, and Luxe.

The interior should give you a premium feel thanks to its two-tone cabin, massive screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment, and a panoramic sunroof. Apart from looking plush, the crossover also aims to keep your drives safe with its Safe-Tech driver-assist systems, providing adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, auto emergency braking, and traffic jam assist.

As for the engine that will power your test drive, the vehicle uses a 1.5-liter Blue Core turbocharged gasoline engine with 185 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. It is connected to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which should give you a fun driving experience by giving smooth and quick shifts.
