The Changan X5 PLUS is a compact SUV positioned in China's high-volume 11,000–14,000 USD segment, appealing to budget-conscious buyers seeking style, turbocharged performance, and modern infotainment. The model is available in three powertrain configurations: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with 110 HP and 5-speed manual transmission, and two turbocharged 1.5T variants with 188 HP (2025) and 192 HP (2026) paired to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The exterior showcases a young, sporty design language with a distinctive red accent stripe and borderless grille characteristic of Changan's family styling. The cabin features a unified three-screen layout including a 12.3-inch center touchscreen and 4.2-inch driver instrument display across most trim levels, with voice control support and intuitive infotainment integration. The 2,715 mm wheelbase provides a spacious cabin layout for five occupants.
The 1.5T engine delivers 138 kW (188 PS) with 300 N·m peak torque, accelerating 0–100 km/h in 7.51 seconds. The 2026 update increases output to 192 HP with 310 N·m torque. Fuel economy ranges from 6.79–6.94 L/100 km (WLTC combined) for turbo variants, with the manual 1.5L returning competitive consumption figures.
Owners praise strong relative performance, spacious interior dimensions, intuitive infotainment, and competitive pricing. Common complaints include transmission shudder during low-speed upshifts in eco mode, limited rear-seat space versus competitors, tire and wind noise above 100 km/h, and sparse soft-touch interior materials in lower trims. Real-world fuel economy often falls short of WLTC claims, and throttle mapping in sport modes can feel overly sensitive.
