Chinese automaker Changan has made headlines after its 4th-generation CS75 Plus gasoline-powered SUV set a Guinness World Record for the longest jump on an ice ramp, soaring 68.6 feet in an extreme cold environment of -22°F. 

The CS75 Plus is equipped with Changan’s Tianshu Intelligent All-Domain Safety System, which integrates electronic stability control (ESC) and a traction control system (TCS). 

The TCS continuously monitors wheel dynamics and can intervene in real time to prevent slippage, ensuring precise handling during challenging maneuvers such as high-speed jumps on icy surfaces. This record demonstrates both performance and advanced safety technology that Changan is incorporating into its SUVs.

Pairing quick acceleration with good fuel economy

The 4th-generation Changan CS75 Plus comes with two engine options, a 1.5T and a 2.0T, offering a balance of performance and efficiency for modern SUV drivers. The 1.5T model is powered by Changan’s Blue Whale 1.5T engine with high-pressure direct injection, delivering 189 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. 

It is also paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, enabling a 0–62 mph sprint in 7.9 to 8.9 seconds depending on the trim. Fuel efficiency is rated at 34 mpg combined, making it a practical choice for everyday driving while still offering responsive acceleration and confident handling, CarNewsChina reported.

For drivers seeking more power, the 2.0T version of the Changan CS75 Plus delivers a commanding 229 hp and 288 lb-ft of torque. Like the 1.5T model, it is paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 7.3 seconds. 

This engine provides strong performance for highway merging, overtaking, and spirited driving, while maintaining smooth and responsive handling. Combined with advanced safety features and a refined chassis, the 2.0T CS75 Plus balances everyday practicality with the extra power and confidence that more performance-oriented SUV drivers demand.

CS75 Plus sees major updates across four model years

Since its debut in September 2019, the Changan CS75 Plus has evolved through four generations, continually refining its design, performance, and technology. The second-generation model arrived in 2022, followed by the third in 2023, with the fourth generation launching in 2024 – with each iteration introducing updates in styling, powertrain options, and safety features.

The latest model comes with a built-in iFlytek Spark AI large language model, offering an intelligent voice assistant to control in-car functions and enhance the driving experience. It also features Level 2 advanced driver-assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and automated emergency braking. 

Practicality is a focus as well, with 21 thoughtfully designed storage compartments spread throughout the cabin, keeping personal items organized and within easy reach. The trunk offers 25.6 cubic feet of space, which can be expanded to 57.2 cubic feet, providing ample room for luggage, groceries, sports gear, or larger cargo, making the CS75 Plus well-suited for both daily commuting and longer family trips.
