The CS35 Max is the latest addition to Changan Philippines’ lineup and an update to one of the brand’s consistent best-sellers. The new model brings a more aggressive design, added features, and a more driver-focused setup aimed at young professionals and active users looking for a practical daily vehicle.
The all-new CS35 Max features larger dimensions and a 115 mm longer wheelbase than its predecessor, improving both presence and interior space. The front features redesigned LED headlights with automatic on/off, daytime running lights, and a follow-me-home function. Red accents and sharper styling give the crossover a sportier look.
On the side, the model uses sharper body lines and now comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels across both variants. It also gets power-adjustable and heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals. The Luxe variant adds power-folding mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and a power tailgate.
At the rear, updated LED taillights, fog lights, and a high-mounted brake light complete the redesign.
Inside, the CS35 Max offers a more spacious cabin due to its larger size. The interior layout has been updated for better ergonomics and improved material quality.
Both variants come with a 10.25-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The Lite variant gets four speakers, while the Luxe comes with a six-speaker Sony sound system.
The Lite variant features a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, fabric seats, and a manually adjustable driver’s seat. The Luxe upgrades to a 12.3-inch digital display, leather seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat.
Other standard features include automatic air conditioning with a PM0.1 filter, rear vents, USB ports, and a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel with integrated controls. The Luxe adds a panoramic moonroof, wireless charging, rear air vents, and LED lighting.
Powering the CS35 Max is a 1.5-liter turbocharged Bluecore gasoline engine paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It produces 180 hp and 300 Nm of torque.
Drivers can choose from multiple drive modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, Race, and Smart.
The CS35 Max comes with standard safety features, including ABS with brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, hill hold and descent control, rear parking sensors, and a rear camera.
Additional features include a tire pressure monitoring system, ISOFIX mounts, cruise control, and keyless entry with push-start ignition.
The Luxe variant adds more advanced systems, including a 540-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, a driving recorder, and multiple airbags (front, side, and curtain).
The CS35 Max is available in White, Interstellar Gray, and Black, with two variants:
CS35 Max 1.5L Lite DCT – PhP 1,109,999
CS35 Max 1.5L Luxe DCT – PhP 1,199,999
CS55 Plus
Alongside the launch, Changan also previewed the CS55 Plus at MIAS 2026. The model is expected to be introduced in the Philippines in the second half of 2026, signaling the brand’s direction toward electrified mobility.
