Changan Philippines may have been grabbing the news for the launch of its electrified models under the “Nevo” sub-brand, but that doesn’t mean that they’re turning away from pure combustion engine offerings. Case in point is the launch of the new Changan CS15—their sub-compact SUV that’s been updated this 2026.
As the most affordable member of the Changan Philippines range, the refreshed Changan CS15 is now priced at P 850,000. The 2026 model comes in four colors: Glitter Galaxy Silver Gray, Red, Shiny Pearl Black, and Snowy White.
Whatever the colorway, the CS15 receives a refreshed front-end. The rhombic grille now has diamond-shaped inserts for added sophistication. 17-inch gunmetal alloy wheels, on the other hand, added a sportier edge to the sub-compact SUV. Inside, it makes full use of its 10-inch infotainment touchscreen thanks to standard wireless Apple CarPlay. Other convenience features include automatic halogen headlights and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat.
The CS15 retains the services of its 1.5-liter BlueCore gasoline engine producing 105 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. The sole gearbox is a 5-speed dual clutch automatic with cruise control.
When it comes to safety, the CS15 is equipped four SRS airbags, four-wheel disc brakes, ABS with EBD, brake assist, electronic stability control with hill hold control (HHC), tire pressure monitors, and rear parking sensors with a backup camera. And despite the affordable price tag, the CS15 doesn’t skimp on the ownership experience since it’s backed by Changan’s 5-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty.
For financing buyers, it can be purchased with either a P 31,000 all-in down payment or monthly payments as low as P 7,485.

These china cars are so generous they give dual clutches to their cheap low end cars. And the japanese mid priced cars?-- CVTs
ReplyDeleteCvt’s battle tested, dual clutch clunky, unreliable, not smooth
ReplyDeleteTell that to ferrari, lamborghini, audi, porsche and nissan GTR.
DeleteMaybe you dont know how to drive a DCT..
You failed to mention ford DCT? Or you deliberately omitted that so you can "win" your argument?
DeleteExcept Geely, all dct’s of china car brands are jerky
DeleteComparing super cars DCT’s to lowly china car brands DCT’s is like comparing apples to rotten tomatoes. They were million miles different on performance and quality
ReplyDeleteTheyre all DCTs.
DeleteSame banana.
DCTs are DCTs mechanically.
mechanical engr here.
Engr polpol, rotten brain. What a shamed to mechanical engineering’s profession. even geely has way smoother DCT’s than other china car brands.
DeletePangit tlga ugali ng isa to na plgi rekta insulto
DeleteChangan is one of top 5 selling Chinese car brand in China, its bluecore engine is also one of the top durable engine in world.
ReplyDeletebut Changan in Philippines is not popular, may be few dealership and higher pricing in their SUV, like this cs15 @ 850k, add a little more you get tiggo cross w/higher specification.
previous its price is 799k, now 850k? tumaas pa eto ng 50k. dapat babaan pa nila ang price dito, they should make this model with super low price as Changan flagship 'ambassador' car, a way of advertising and promoting Changan brand.
Deleteif talking about brand, cs15 can't compete with reize or wigo, but cs15 is selling at higher price??
DeleteMas mahal ang price ng SUV nila, they do occasionally have big discount in their SUV, but few lang nakakaalam, they better have lower its price and make it fix, at least marami nakakita attractive price kesa occasionally discount, mas nakakatampo yung sa mga previous nakabili.
