This strategy marks a shift from the “Go Global” concept to “Global Localization,” establishing solid foundations in overseas markets to systematically evolve from export to comprehensive global operations.
In 2025, CHANGAN’s overseas sales reached 637,000 units, an 18.9% increase from the previous year. The company expanded into 21 new markets, launched 12 new models, and operates in 118 countries and regions through 1,124 dealerships. Currently, CHANGAN has 22 overseas production bases with a combined annual capacity of 350,000 units and offers a global product portfolio of 41 models, comprising 25 internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and 16 new energy vehicles (NEVs).

A driving range up to 1,500 km on a full tank.
Over 20,000 hours of testing and 2 million kilometers of road testing.
Emergency scenario support, such as tire burst tests at speeds of 225 km/h.
The CS75 PLUS emphasizes performance and comfort, equipped with a Continuous Damping Control (CDC) suspension system.
This CDC technology is unique within its segment.
