The All-new Changan CS15 Crossover has been launched into the Nigerian market, courtesy of Zahav Automobile Co., subsidiary of Stallion group and Nigeria’s official representative of the brand.
The restyled SUV which was unveiled on Saturday at Changan’s Victoria Island, Lagos Showroom, comes loaded with safety and intelligent features and beautiful design.
Addressing journalists at the launch, Stallion Motors’ Head of Sale and Marketing, Vijay Singh, said his company rolled out the new CS15 to satisfy the desire of Nigerian auto lovers for SUVs that combine beauty with intelligence, strength and value for money.
This is just as he disclosed of plans to assemble the new SUV within the next six months.
He said: “Essentially, the latest CS15 comes loaded with ABS, Airbags, Anti-theft alarm, Collision Detection, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Immobilizer, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Rear Camera and more.
“The new CS15 is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder Petrol engine mated onto 5DCT (Dual-clutch transmission), which generates 105 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque.
“Interestingly, as the nation and the rest of the world face challenges of volatile fuel price, CS15, which frugally travels across 100 kilometers using only 6.5 litres of fuel, is pocket-friendly.”
The Crossover also comes with a brand-new chassis adjustment, which translates to comfortable cruising control on the city or highway.
Restyled with a modified grill and Sharp LED headlamp, the latest CS15 Crossover is 4.135 mm long, 1,740 mm wide and 1630 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2520 mm and trunk capacity of 230 litres, all of which enlarge its interior space.
Viewed from the rear, its horizontal through tail design mixes sharpness and cuteness together, just as its 17 inches flash sickle wheel draws attention all the time.
Changan CS15’s striking styling extends into its interior, thereby underlining individuality, dynamism and style. Equipped with Automatic headlamp, wise and convenient Keyless entry + One-push start, the interior comes with silver chrome 7-inch touch LCD screen, which support mobile phone interconnection and mapping and other basic functions.
With up to 39 storage spaces, CS15 makes use of its flexible design, as foldable rear seats and electric sunroof offer you and your family more comfort and flexibility.
In addition to the basic central control lock, the CS15 is equipped with extra intelligent features, including rear parking radar, reversing image, constant speed cruise, front and rear power windows, exterior mirror electric adjustment function, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment, co-pilot car interior makeup mirror and in-car air conditioning / pollen filtering.

Despite its load of safety features, equipment and sweet styling, the newly launched Changan CS15, Singh said is on offer for as low as N12.3m, which he described as a good market price for the SUV which has competitors such as Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, GACGS3 and Nissan Kicks, its major competitors in the country.
