Changan has put a new hybrid CS75 PLUS on sale in China, and the pitch is straightforward: family-sized space, a long equipment list, and a starting price that stays well below what many buyers would expect for a crossover with adaptive suspension and driver-assist tech. The new Blue Whale Super Engine Edition opens at 114,000 yuan for early buyers, with three trims priced up to 132,000 yuan.
That puts the Changan CS75 PLUS Blue Whale Super Engine Edition in the thick of the compact-to-mid-size SUV fight, where Chinese brands keep squeezing more hardware into lower sticker prices. Changan is also taking aim at models like Geely’s Monjaro with a slightly smaller footprint but a familiar family-friendly formula: more cabin tech, more assistance features, less strain on the wallet.
Changan CS75 PLUS dimensions and cabin layout
The CS75 PLUS measures 4770 x 1910 x 1705 mm and rides on a 2800 mm wheelbase, which is enough to keep it in the roomy end of the segment without drifting into full-size territory. Inside, Changan fits three screens across the front row: a 10.25-inch driver display, a 14.6-inch central screen, and a 12.3-inch passenger display. That is a lot of glass for a car that starts at this price, and it is exactly the kind of equipment escalation Chinese buyers have come to expect.
CDC Magic Carpet suspension and TianShu driver assistance
One of the stranger-sounding but more interesting bits here is the CDC Magic Carpet adaptive suspension, a feature usually associated with more expensive models. On paper, that should help the car feel more polished over rough roads, which matters more than another chrome strip or a louder badge.
The driver-assistance package, called TianShu (Vision Version), adds automatic lane changes, traffic-speed adaptation, safe highway maneuvering through junction areas, lane keeping, and parking assistance. That is a serious list for a mainstream hybrid SUV, although the real test will be how smoothly it behaves outside the brochure and under real traffic chaos.
244 hp hybrid powertrain and 1.7 kWh battery
Power comes from a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine with 150 hp, paired with an electric motor rated at 244 hp. The traction battery is just 1.7 kWh, which tells you this is aimed at efficiency and response rather than long electric-only driving. Changan has not leaned on huge battery bragging rights here; instead, it is using a smaller pack and a more conventional hybrid setup to keep costs down.
That approach makes sense in a market where plug-in hybrids and full EVs are fighting for attention, but many buyers still want easy refueling and lower complexity. If Changan can make the ride quality and assistance system feel premium enough, this CS75 PLUS may look like one of those sensible buys that annoy pricier rivals.
