After the change in management from Berjaya Auto Asia to Changan Motor Philippines Inc. (CMPI), the new lineup of Changan vehicles in the country has been highlighted at the 2020 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) Wired.

During its presentation, CMPI President Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo cited that the brand is one of the top four vehicle makers in China, “boasting a 158-year tradition in manufacturing excellence” and “37 years in automotive manufacturing with a strong presence in Middle East, South America, North Africa and Southeast Asia.”

To note, Agudo is also the head of Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. (HARI), which is the local distributor for the Korean automotive manufacturer.

The Chinese manufacturer, which has the capacity of producing more than 4 million units every year, reached global sales of 1.3 million back in 2019 with 33 vehicle and engine facilities. Currently Changan has over 19 million customers around the world.

Aside from that, Changan is said to be the first Chinese car maker that created an electric vehicle for volume production—rolling out around 90,000 units from when it was first launched.

The new management Changan lineup is spearheaded by the Alsvin Subcompact sedan, the Subcompact SUV CS35 Plus, the Compact SUV CS75 Plus, the seven-seater mid-size SUV CS95, and the Eado EV460 electric vehicle.

The CS75 Plus is equipped with 360° Panoramic Camera, Engine Remote Start, 12-inch touchscreen, seven-inch digital cluster, cruise control, triple drive modes, and six airbags, while the CS95 is fitted with 2.0L Turbocharged GDI Engine, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission, 12.3-inch touchscreen, 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a 360° High-Definition Panoramic Camera.

Lastly, Eado EV460 has six Airbags and electric stability control, among other features.

All these vehicles come with a five-year, 150,000-kilometer warranty and free Preventive Maintenance Services (PMS) for the first year, or up to 20,000 kilometers.
