The Changan CS55 PLUS Fourth Generation New Blue Whale occupies the compact SUV segment, targeting buyers who prioritize practical space, responsive performance, and modern technology in a mid-range package. Built around a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, it delivers balanced power and efficiency for both daily commuting and highway driving.
The 1.5T engine generates 192 horsepower and 310 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This combination provides accessible acceleration while maintaining reasonable fuel consumption for its class. The dual-clutch gearbox offers responsive shifts without the complexity of a traditional torque converter.
The CS55 ships in four distinct trim levels: Elite Edition, Leading Edition, Tian Shu Luxury Edition, and Tian Shu Premium Edition. Each progresses in equipment and comfort features, allowing buyers to select based on budget and desired specification levels. All variants share the same mechanical foundation and five-passenger seating configuration.
Owners and importers consistently value the model's spacious cabin relative to its compact footprint, competent turbocharged performance, and accessible pricing across the range. The dual-clutch transmission is noted for smooth city driving and highway cruising. The National VI b emissions certification ensures compliance in stricter regulatory markets.
Some buyers report that interior materials, while durable, feel modest in entry-level trims. Real-world fuel economy varies with driving patterns, and service availability outside China requires sourcing genuine Changan parts. Turbo engines demand regular maintenance intervals to preserve longevity.
