“We started 2022 strong and ended the year on an even stronger note, thanks to the collective efforts of team Changan and our nationwide dealership network, backed by Changan International Corporation, our local business partners, and the growing number of believers in the brand,” said CMPI President and CEO Maria Fe Perez-Agudo. 

The first quarter of 2022 saw the launch of the New CS35 Plus which has been making waves for its advanced safety features since its launch at the Manila International Auto Show last March. 

The fourth quarter gave the public a rousing preview of what Changan Auto has in store for 2023. The New CS55 Plus, launched in November 2022, makes for a powerful tech-laden contender in the compact crossover segment, geared for a “mannered,” stable ride, yet game enough to brave one’s “wild” side. While the Uni crossovers, the Uni T and the Uni K, launched in December 2022, set a bold new standard in lifestyle crossovers with Changan Auto’s latest avant-garde “Vision V” design language and intelligent mobility.
