A set of 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels are installed, providing a sleek appearance. And at the back, the subcompact crossover gets an LED high mount stop lamp, shark fin antenna, and functional dual stainless exhaust pipes. Overall, the design got sportier and more aggressive, making it more appealing in the market, especially for young car buyers.

Interior

The glaring sporty aesthetics of the exterior are continued into the interior. Passengers get to benefit from two-tone leather seats which are said to be “crafted with firm, body-supporting foam.” Changan boasts the use of Deep Sea Silence Technology which effectively isolates and absorbs exterior noise.

Other interior amenities include a panoramic sunroof, a wireless charging pad, rear A/C vents for higher-end variants, and a digital instrument display.

Tech & Safety

For the 2022 model, the CS35 Plus is equipped with a ‘Safe-tech System’. It provides advanced driver assistance features including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), and Front Collision Warning (FCW).
