Changan Relaunches in Argentina With CS55 Plus PHEV in USD 32,000 Pre-Sale

The relaunch emphasizes value pricing with strong warranties to ease adoption.

Overview

  • Grupo Antelo opened an exclusive pre-sale at USD 32,000 for the CS55 Plus PHEV, limited to 100 units with preferential financing, two free services and a Chargebox card covering 10 full charges.
  • The plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.5L petrol engine with an electric motor managed by a DHT transmission, with a claimed 0–100 km/h time of 7.3 seconds and four hybrid management modes.
  • Technical reporting diverges on the battery and charging: Ámbito cites a 19 kWh LFP pack with 30–80% in about five hours on home AC, while TN and La Nación cite 18.4 kWh, up to 125 km EV range and 30–80% in roughly 50 minutes.
  • The model includes six airbags, stability control, 360° cameras with incident recording and a full ADAS suite including ACC, AEB, LKA, BSM, RCTA, TSR and APA.
  • Changan backs the SUV with a 5-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and 8-year/150,000 km coverage for the hybrid system and battery, as Grupo Antelo grows its 14-dealer network toward 18 by 2026.
