Third generation (CS75 Plus Gen.4,2024)
In July 2024, the third generation CS75 Plus was unveiled. Codenamed C928, it was launched in September of 2024. Unlike the so-called "second" and "third" generations, it is an all-new design and is significantly larger in size at 60. mm longer, 45 mm wider, 15 mm shorter, and with a 90. mm longer wheelbase.[15]
The exterior features an all new design, with a body color painted grille, a larger lower air intake, retractable power door handles, 'light bar' daytime running lights and taillights, and illuminated front and rear emblems. The styling resembles vehicles in Changan's 'Uni' subbrand despite it being part of the 'CS' line.[15]
The interior features a continuous flat panel integrated into the dashboard which houses three displays: a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, a 14.6-inch central infotainment display, and a 12.3-inch passenger entertainment display. It has a two-spoke flat bottomed steering wheel with a column shifter. The center console features dual wireless charging pads and circular cupholders, below which is an open storage space. The front passenger seat has power adjustable thigh support, and has a 'zero-gravity' reclining mode which allows for a neutral spine posture.[15]
At launch, the sole powertrain option is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine outputting 141 kW and 310. Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission with front-wheel drive. A second engine option, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, became available starting in December 2024.[15][16]
In March 2026, the hybrid version was revealed, and is set to launch at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show. It is one of the first to use Changan's BlueCore iDE-H hybrid system, which consists of a 148 hp 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine paired with a P1 and 241 hp P3 motor and a 1.7 kWh NMC battery pack. Changan says the Blue Whale engine has a peak thermal efficiency of 44.28% and average thermal efficiency of 40.9% with 56.3% of the engine operating range exceeding 41% efficiency, which is achieved by using a 16:1 compression ratio, 30% exhaust gas recirculation, 500-bar direct injection, and a 1.45:1 stroke to bore ratio. The 180 kW P3 electric motor weighs 18.1 kg and has a maximum speed of 20,000 rpm, which uses a triple-V magnet layout within 0.2mm high magnetic flux steel laminations to achieve a peak efficiency of 98.1% with 92.8% drivetrain efficiency. It is powered by a 1.7 kWh NMC battery pack capable of a 50C peak discharge rate for up to 80 kW. It has a top speed of 185 km/h and a combined cycle fuel economy rating of 4.69 L/100km.[17][18][19]
