Product Introduction
We are all familiar with Changan CS35 PLUS, but what is the Blue Whale version? Simply put, it is a new model equipped with Changan's latest Blue Whale NE series 1.4T engine. Here comes the point, this 1.4T engine is the first product born under Changan Blue Whale NE power platform, with outstanding parameters and fully meets the National VI emission standards.
Power Configuration
The Changan CS35 PLUS model is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum power of 160 horsepower and 128 horsepower respectively, and maximum torque of 260N·m and 161N·m. The gearboxes are 7-speed wet dual-clutch and CVT8-speed continuously variable transmission.
New Interior
Compared with the old model, the interior design of CS35 PLUS is more ingenious. In addition to the shape being more stretched horizontally to enhance the sense of spaciousness, there are also some ingenious small designs in the details.

Functional Steering Wheel
The flat-bottom steering wheel is wrapped in leather and feels delicate. The texture of the multi-function buttons is also relatively tight and not loose.
Instrument Screen
Although it is a large screen, Changan CS35 Plus does not use a full LCD instrument panel design. The central color driving computer screen has average clarity and some reflections. However, it can display rich content, such as navigation, tire pressure monitoring, driving information, intelligent driving assistance, etc., which is still practical.


Central Control Screen
The 10.25-inch central control screen has a clear display, but the screen feels a bit draggy when used. It has many internal functions, including WeChat, online radio, music and navigation functions. The split-screen function of the previous system is still available, and you can continue to operate the music on the right side when using map navigation, which is quite convenient.
Air Conditioning Control
The frosted metal buttons in the air conditioning control area feel good. If you don't want to use physical buttons, the central control screen can also adjust the air conditioning.


Front Row Charging
The Changan CS35 Plus is equipped with a USB port and a 12V power supply in the front row, and the wireless charging function is also available.
Front Seats
The front driver's seat of the CS35 Plus supports electric adjustment. The seat cushion and backrest are soft and elastic, and the side wings of the backrest can provide a certain degree of wrapping for fat drivers.


Rear Air Vents
The rear row is equipped with air conditioning vents and a USB charging port, and there is also a storage slot next to it, which is very good.
Panoramic Sunroof
The Blue Whale model we photographed is equipped with a panoramic sunroof, which is only available in the top-of-the-line CS35 PLUS regular version.


Rear Seats
There is a central armrest in the back row, the floor bulge is not too high, and the rear seats can be folded down in a 4/6 ratio, so except that the middle seat does not have an independent headrest, there is nothing wrong with it.
Trunk
The trunk space is the same as the old model, with a standard volume of 403L, and the rear seats can be folded down, making the interior relatively flat.

Front Face Design
Although the front of the CS35 PLUS does not use too many lines for decoration, it still looks quite sporty. The front bumper is very recognizable, and the red trim running through it stretches the visual width of the front of the car. The body color matches the oversized air intake grille very well, and the diamond pattern inside the grille is different from that of the CS55PLUS.
Body Side
The body side has the smallest change in appearance in this mid-term facelift. Only the trim at the bottom of the door panel has turned red, and the rest is consistent with the old model.
Tail Design
CS35PLUS's through-type taillights have changed. The size of the light groups on both sides has become larger, and the style of the internal light strip has also changed. The style of the rear surround has also been upgraded. Compared with the previous silver decorative parts that are closer to luxury, the gun gray color does make the rear of the car look more lively. In addition to the optimization of the shape, the internal light strip adopts an integrated design. In addition to better effects, the cost is definitely higher.
Product Configuration
As the successor of Changan CS35, the interior and exterior styling of Changan CS35 PLUS has changed the previous mediocre style, and the style design is avant-garde and fashionable, which makes people shine. In terms of configuration, the vehicle has mainstream configurations of the same level such as panoramic image, adaptive cruise control, voice control, etc., and performs well. The interior space is relatively spacious and the seats are relatively comfortable. However, except for the top configuration, there is no headrest in the middle position of the second row, which has a certain impact on the comfort and safety of passengers in this position.
