Changan: Growing Chinese Presence in UAE
According to Cartea's May sales data, Changan recorded 192 units sold in the UAE. While modest compared to Jetour's 1,547 units, Changan's presence is growing through well-designed, competitively priced models that appeal to young UAE buyers and budget-conscious families.
Changan CS35 Plus
The Changan CS35 Plus is a subcompact SUV priced from approximately AED 75,000 in the UAE. It features a 1.4-liter turbo engine producing 156 hp, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, leather seats, wireless charging, and a panoramic sunroof. The CS35 Plus's compact dimensions make it ideal for city driving and parking in Dubai's congested areas.
Changan UNI-V
The Changan UNI-V is a fastback sedan priced from approximately AED 69,000 in the UAE. Its 1.5-liter turbo engine produces 180 hp, and the interior features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, sports seats, and ambient lighting. The UNI-V competes directly with the Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra at a significantly lower price.
Changan Alsvin
The Changan Alsvin is the brand's entry-level sedan, priced from AED 49,000 in the UAE. It features a 1.5-liter engine, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and fuel economy of 6.2 L/100 km. The Alsvin's 5-year warranty and low running costs make it popular among first-time buyers and delivery drivers.
Conclusion
Changan offers solid value in the UAE's budget and mid-market segments. While the brand lacks Jetour's sales momentum, the CS35 Plus and UNI-V provide compelling alternatives for buyers seeking modern design and competitive pricing. View all Changan models on icartea.
