The first generation Changan CS55 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Changan Automobile, and was launched at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show. Pricing for the CS55 ranges from 74,900 yuan to 86,900 yuan, slotting the five-seat CS55 below the similarly sized Changan CS75.[2][3]

The Changan CS55 is powered by a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline-4 petrol engine with variable valve timing on both inlet and exhaust camshafts producing 156 bhp and 225 nm (165 lb ft) mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic transmission by Aisin Warner.[4]

The suspension features struts at the front, a multi-link axle at the rear, and anti-roll bars front and rear. It is equipped with electric power steering and the brakes are vented discs at the front and solid at the rear. A subframe carries the powertrain and front suspension.[5]

The styling was developed by Changan's Turin design studio. However, the CUV was controversial styling wise as the CS55 was criticized for resembling the Land Rover Discovery Sport.[6]
