At the Manila International Auto Show, Changan Philippines, under Inchcape Philippines, presented a lineup that reflects a clear shift toward smarter, more diverse mobility. Anchored on the “Drive Smart, Drive Changan” direction, the brand brought together gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles across multiple segments, giving Filipino drivers more ways to transition toward electrified mobility.
The Core Crossover: Changan CS35 Max
Leading the lineup is the all-new CS35 Max, a more aggressive and driver-focused evolution of one of Changan’s best-selling models. Designed for urban professionals, it features larger dimensions and a longer wheelbase that translate to improved cabin space and comfort.

A 10.25-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto anchors the dashboard, while higher variants add a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

The CS35 Max is priced at PHP1,109,999 for the Lite variant and PHP1,199,999 for the Luxe.

A Broader Approach to Mobility
Changan’s presence at MIAS highlights a strategy built on flexibility. Rather than focusing on a single technology, the brand is expanding across multiple powertrains, from traditional gasoline engines to plug-in hybrids and full EVs.
With options ranging from compact city cars to electrified pickups, the lineup reflects a practical approach to modern mobility—one that allows drivers to choose how and when they transition toward more efficient and electrified driving.
