With a 30K Hike.. GB Auto Launches Changan CS55 PLUS 2027 in Egypt

GB Auto, the exclusive agent for the Chinese brand Changan in Egypt, has officially announced the launch of the locally assembled 2027 Changan CS55 PLUS compact SUV. 

The brand-new model arrives with a minor official price increase of EGP 30,000 across its trim lineup compared to the previous year's model. 

This strategic release highlights the local distributor's direction toward accelerating local automotive localization while delivering high-performance, tech-laden family SUVs that satisfy the growing expectations of the Egyptian consumer.

Mechanical Performance and Powertrain

The 2027 Changan CS55 PLUS derives its robust performance from an advanced 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, generating an impressive 185 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. 

This responsive powerplant is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), ensuring seamless gear shifts and energetic power delivery to the front wheels, offering a dynamic driving experience that blends sporty performance with optimal fuel efficiency supported by the ECO driving mode.

Advanced Safety Shield and Driver Assistance

Changan has equipped the locally built SUV with a comprehensive safety suite, including front and side airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). 

Furthermore, the vehicle features an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto-Hold, Brake Override System (BOS), and Cruise Control with a speed limiter. 

To provide superior driver assistance, it comes fitted with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), rear parking sensors with a high-definition camera, alongside Blind Spot Detection and Lane Keep Assist on higher configurations.

Digital Cabin and Premium Exterior Elements

The 2027 Changan CS55 PLUS boasts an aggressive, modern exterior highlighted by full LED front and rear light clusters, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlight sensors, rain-sensing wipers, and electrically folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, all riding on premium 19-inch sporty alloy wheels for the top-tier variant. 

Inside the cabin, it treats occupants to an immersive digital experience featuring a 12.3-inch central infotainment touchscreen with smartphone mirroring, a 6-speaker premium audio system, smart keyless entry with a push-button start, automatic climate control with rear vents, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a sweeping panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with natural light.

Official 2027 Changan CS55 PLUS Price List

The local distributor has introduced the locally assembled SUV across two distinct equipment configurations, with official prices structured as follows:

The initial first trim (Elite) starts at an official price of EGP 1,130,000, while the second, fully loaded top-tier trim (Flagship) arrives at an official retail price of EGP 1,260,000.

The debut of the locally manufactured 2027 Changan CS55 PLUS reinforces GB Auto’s commitment to offering world-class driving dynamics built by Egyptian hands. 

Despite the slight EGP 30,000 price adjustment, the vehicle firmly maintains its status as one of the most compelling value-for-money propositions within its segment, offering the most powerful engine output among its immediate class rivals and a holistic safety package that secures its leading position in the local market.
