Caoa Changan reported having received more than 3,000 orders for the CS55 in three days of commercialization. The volume, recorded during the so-called CS55 Celebration Day, is equivalent to more than R$ 500 million, according to the brand, and exceeded the company’s projections for the debut of the medium SUV, presented on September 15.
The numbers refer to orders, not registrations — an indicator that will only appear in Fenabrave’s statistics as deliveries are completed. The brand started operating in the country in March, with production in Anápolis (GO), at the same factory that houses Caoa Chery models.

Versions and engines
The CS55 Infinity, the top-of-the-line version among combustion options, was the best seller in the period and continues to be delivered promptly to the dealership network. It shares with the Prime the 1.5 turbo flex engine, with 180 hp and 29,2 kgfm, associated with a dual-clutch transmission.
The third configuration is the CS55 Ultra Hybrid PHEV Flex, a plug-in hybrid that combines a flex combustion engine and electric propulsion to add up to 286 hp. According to the manufacturer, the set can reach 42.2 km/l in the city — a number obtained with the battery charged, a condition that is not repeated when the SUV runs only as a conventional hybrid.
In the segment, the CS55 competes for space with Jeep Compass, Toyota Corolla Cross, Volkswagen Taos, Caoa Chery Tiggo 7, BYD Song Plus and GWM Haval H6, in one of the most competitive categories in the Brazilian market.
The SUV is the third model launched by the brand since the resumption of operation, after the Uni-T and the CS75. The automaker announced at the launch an investment plan of R$ 5 billion in Brazil for the next three years and reported having reached 10 thousand vehicles produced in Anápolis in early September, five months after the reopening of the factory.
