The failed Volga K30 crossover is renamed Changan in China

In the open base of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the PRC, photographs and characteristics of the Changan CS35 Max model appeared. Under this name hides a crossover, which a year ago in Nizhny Novgorod wanted to collect under the name Volga K30. Initially, in the Middle Kingdom, this car was sold as Oshan X5 Plus, and now it will be renamed the Changan CS35 Max, correcting the appearance.

Former Rolls-Royce designer appreciated Russian Aurus and Volga

Oshan X5 Plus debuted in the fall of 2022, and recently Changan decided to gradually abandon the Oshan’s daughter brand and sell cars under the main brand. However, the CS35 Max differs from the source only by nameplates, mirrors and other UNI radiator grille: the rest is not changes.

In technology, also without revelations: the turbo engine 1.5 (192 hp) is almost the same as that of the predecessor. Probably, it develops 300 nm of torque and is combined with a 7-speed “robot” with two clutches. In the Changan line, the new CS35 Max will take a place over UNI-S, although prices can be comparable, because the Oshan line was relatively inexpensive.

Changan replied how to challenge the dominance of cars from Japan

As for the revival of the Volga brand, in 2025 the launch of the plant in Nizhny Novgorod can not be expected. However, last year, JSC “Production of cars” issued documents for intra -factory numbers, so that the tests of prototypes of future Volga cars de Yura were allowed. Changan did not comment on a possible partnership.
