I bought this car last March because of So’s previous review, it has an ACC (and ADAS) which the coolray doesn’t have and of course because of the price, I encourage others to buy this Changan
Thank you Joo, a really great video again. The one thing I did want to mention is the SC panel buttons. I bought the CS35 Plus Hype variant in Baguio last week and the AC buttons can be pressed up and down. You can raise and lower the temp as well as the fan speed. I like knobs for turning, but this is pretty innovative and techie. Again, thank you for all the great videos
Just to remind those who hav concern on only 1 vent at the back. There are vent under the driving seat and passenger seat blowing out to the rear. And it is cool air blowing. Just got my unit yesterday. Thank you sir sojoo
I hope by tne time i have the money to buy that super beautiful crossover the promotion is extended. 😊 tonight i hope i dream of that nice Changan Hype.
Hi Sojoo, I'm beginning to like that Changan Hype, been watching reviews about that model and every time, you guys seems like have the charisma and i was like being hypnotized to buy it hahaha due to its very tempting features 😊
I also considered this one, but still chose the Coolray Sports Limited. Idk pero iba pa rin yung dating ni Coolray kapag nakikita ko sa daan. And Performance wise, it's also good for it's price range
Very good video, thank you. Do you know if the 3 trim levels of the CS35 Plus are the same in all regions/countries? For example, I ordered the mid-trim (Hype, as it's called in some regions), and I'm not sure it will have all of the features shown in videos like this for the mid-trim. Thanks.
@@SoJooCars I was trying to cover everything. I am in another country and they only sell the "middle" trim. They had a 2022 on display, and I am ordering the 2023 (should arrive this week). However, I noticed there was no rear arm rest or air conditioning. It does have the 18 inch wheels. The salesperson also told me that it has the Android and Apple car play, but videos I watch say it doesn't? Also, the mid trim is supposed to have the adaptive cruise control, anti-collision, etc. but the model I looked at doesn't. It did seem to have the extra air bags. So I am really confused. I do NOT want to end up with the low trim, with 18 inch wheels on it, if you know what I mean? I would love to get a link to the official Changan factory brochure specs for all 3 trims.
Awesome content, thanks for sharing this well detailed review, this vehicle is indeed simple and elegant and i won't be surprised that a lot of buyers will purchase this vehicle 🤔👍
SoJoo tested the an old CS35 Plus that had 107,000km and it was being driven non stop so I am convinced the new one will be reliable as well! This is the video: ua-cam.com/video/iZeWaSdIwwA/v-deo.html
@Neil Bryan Reaño Ohh I was supposed to do that but sadly they already paved way for this new one! 😭 Although we can't probably demo it in the video in case of Copyright with the music. 😅
Another excellent review my friend SoJooCars! Really appreciated all the many "walkaround and interior observations and especially the actual driving experience" You shared more educational points about it than any of the other car review "posters" that I have watched concerning the car model.. Wish I were in the position right now to buy one...but we've spent too much money repairing major damage that we suffered from Typhoon Odette...here in Cebu. We were just a few kilometers from the eye of the storm as well as being very close and elevated about a block and a half up from the waterline of the South China Sea
@SoJooCars I have a ...hopefully simple question to ask you about this Changan CS35 Plus Hype that you said at the time of filming this video was 969K pesos...I've watched a couple other reviews of it by other You Tube guys I'm sure you know and are friends with..this was in the last few weeks. They are stating the SRP is 1.140K plus pesos for this model and the top spec..the Luxe variant is maybe 20K pesos additional.. The either the is around 150K Pesos price hike...they are in the Manilla/Luzon area also.. what has happened? That is around 3K US dollars price bump! Do you know what is the "real' price? Did Changan raise the price on the dealerships? Or are dealerships trying to get a lot more profit per unit since it was such great bit lower priced than it's competitors that are similar features loaded ? I did see they have a current promo of 120K cash? discount on for a very few days duration...ends next week sometime Please reach out and comment back what you know..in the feed or privately icon possible...I'm hesitant to share my email address on a public platform like this is
I cant find details on your car tint add. Where can i contact them? Do you know if the ship to the province? Thanks. Nice review. I know a guy who bought this same unit recently, will visit him and look at his car.
good day sojoo! excellent review as always, good job! neways, you forgot to mention the fuel economy. how efficient is this in the city / highway /combined? also, how bad is the turbo lag? coco said it was quite pronounced... could you enlighten me on this? thanks and more power!!!
Back in the States, whenever my car broke and if it takes a couple of weeks to fix, I always get a loaner car while waiting for my car to be fixed. Is there a system like that with manufacturers or insurance companies? Because if there is, then this whole "reliability" debacle would be somewhat solved. So ano if masira, may loaner car ka naman. With Changan, if not available yet ang part, you get it for free. Not bad actually.
It's great that the dashcam feature is 360 hahaha. This is so important because not all accidents happen in front. By the way, when the ACC is engaged during low speeds, does it steer on its own? Or steering input still comes from the driver? Great review, Joo.
Hi sir sojoo.. I have a concern regarding the fuel gauge Kilometer. The first full tank that we did, it inputs a 435km.. but during the 2nd full tank we did, it went down to 405km.. why is that so? Any idea or suggestion? Thank you 😊
@@SoJooCars so it really depends on the driver? What if a female driver will use, specifically my Mother. A not sporty driver. Will it change or differs? Thank you 😊
Nice review as always Ju, my concern about buying these new Chinese cars are reliability. The Geely range excluded from this due to the Volvo input, so these new car's that are coming into the Philippines from China, still have a lot to do to encourage people to buy them and improve there reliability.
Also, major chinese brands (Changan, Chery, Geely, GWM, BYD, GAC) maybe new in some foreign markets, but they're not that "new" in building cars. Changan for example builds more car per year than Mercedes (2 millions plus). As someone who followed the Chinese car market closely, the progress of engineering maturity in the past 5-6 years was staggering. 5-6 years ago having technical assistance from an established international brand is still a big talking point, but it's not so much after 2020.

I don't think it's strong enough to defeat the Coolray in terms of sales, specs, etc but at least it's better than shitty Toyota's f*cking Raize which is expensive, low tech, with some welding issues
mahina yung ibang parts ng Geely ang bilis masira also the front shock absorber ang bilis bumigay, manipis yung paint sa ibang part ng body nababakbak. problema din ibang owners ngayon sa availability ng parts. nauna lang lumabas si geely sa market na may magandang offer pero di matatalo changan sa tibay. check the old cs35 plus na pang test drive nasa 100k plus odo na in just 122 days 24/7 endurance test and top 1 si changan among car brands in terms of reliability in China.

Oh really?! So great si ACC right? ❤❤❤
Thank you sir Duran 😊
Yes it has active cruise control, you won’t regret
@kristintan you’re welcome
Changan cs35 is more of a European car than Chinese

Great tip! That would work the same for me since I always use my air-con direction Forward and Feet mode.
Thanks for this review! This is the reason why I never stopped thinking about CS35. That's why I got mine 3 days ago :)
OMG! Congratulations!!!
Nice review 😊👍 I can see that you really like the CS35. Hope Changan Ph will retain the lineup prices 🙏
Two Thumbs Up!
I hope by tne time i have the money to buy that super beautiful crossover the promotion is extended. 😊 tonight i hope i dream of that nice Changan Hype.
My unit is coming next week!! Thanks for the review! Love it
also planning to get one. how's your experience so far? especially the aftersales service.
@@carlom5002 I've been using it for almost 2 years now. No issues at all. PMS parts are always available.
Oh you got me good SoJooCars, now I am torn between choosing the Coolray and Changan CS35. Great review keep it up

Hi Sir if your Interested the New CS35 i will assist you sir tnx
Sir Joo, please do a comparo video between Geely Coolray Sport SE and Changan CS35 Plus Luxe 🙏
I also considered this one, but still chose the Coolray Sports Limited. Idk pero iba pa rin yung dating ni Coolray kapag nakikita ko sa daan. And Performance wise, it's also good for it's price range

@@SoJooCars if maybe you can do a review on night time so we can also check how it looks like and how good the video/camera output and others
