Launched in October 2025, the Changan CS75 Plus Smart Champion Edition represents a thoughtful evolution of one of China’s most successful SUV series, which has surpassed 2.8 million cumulative sales since its 2014 debut . This latest iteration brings meaningful upgrades across powertrain technology, interior intelligence, and safety equipment—all while maintaining exceptional value.

Under the hood lies the New Blue Whale 1.5T engine featuring industry-leading 500Bar ultra-high pressure direct injection technology, a world-first achievement that optimizes fuel atomization for superior combustion efficiency . This powerplant delivers 141 kW (192 horsepower) at 5,500 rpm and 310 N·m of torque available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm, ensuring responsive low-end power ideal for both urban commuting and highway cruising.

Paired exclusively with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission—a rarity in its price segment—the combination delivers seamless shifts and proven durability . The transmission’s reliability stands out against dual-clutch alternatives, particularly in demanding driving conditions. The iEM intelligent energy management system further optimizes fuel delivery based on real-time road conditions, enabling an impressive 1,000-kilometer range on a single tank under optimal conditions . WLTC combined fuel consumption is rated at 6.96 L/100km, with a top speed of 190 km/h and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 7.9 seconds .

The Smart Champion Edition introduces the Tianshu intelligent cockpit, anchored by a 14.6-inch floating central touchscreen paired with a 10.25-inch full digital instrument cluster . The ultra-narrow bezel design maximizes screen real estate, while the Tianshu OS delivers intuitive operation with customizable home screens and menu layouts.

Connectivity is comprehensive, supporting Apple CarPlay, Huawei HiCar, Carlink, and Honor Interconnect, achieving seamless integration across Android and iOS ecosystems covering over 95 percent of user needs . The voice control system integrates DeepSeek AI language models, enabling natural, conversational interactions for navigation, climate control, entertainment, and even general knowledge queries . Remote functionality extends to the Bluetooth key 2.0 and remote control 3.0 systems, allowing smartphone-based vehicle access, climate presets, and vehicle status monitoring.

Front seat occupants enjoy heating and ventilation functions, with the driver’s seat offering four-way lumbar adjustment . The cabin benefits from a sophisticated dual-tone color scheme with premium soft-touch materials throughout. Cargo versatility is equally thoughtful: the 620-liter rear trunk expands to 1,450 liters with the rear seats folded flat, and over 30 interior storage compartments accommodate everyday essentials .

The Smart Champion Edition comes standard with L2-level intelligent driving assistance, including full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist, traffic sign recognition, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking . The 540-degree panoramic camera system with transparent chassis functionality provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings and underbody, eliminating blind spots during low-speed maneuvers .

Passive safety is anchored by the Fangzhou Cage body structure, recognized among China’s top ten body designs. This load-bearing architecture strategically deploys ultra-high-strength steel at key structural nodes, delivering robust protection validated by real-world incidents where the structure maintained integrity during severe rollover events .
