MANILA, PHILIPPINES — At this year’s Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2026, Inchcape Philippines, the exclusive distributor of Changan Philippines, invited Filipinos to discover a smarter, more lifestyle-driven way to move. With its new campaign, “Drive Smart, Drive Changan,” the brand is presenting a lineup built for how people live today, whether that means navigating city streets, upgrading daily commutes, heading out on weekend escapes, or embracing more future-forward mobility.

On April 9 to 12, 2026 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City, visitors to the Changan booth explored the brand’s latest models, enjoy exclusive event offers, and test drive select vehicles including the All-New Changan Eado Plus, All-New Changan CS35 Max, Changan Nevo Hunter 4×2 REEV, and Changan Nevo Q05 iD PHEV. Beyond the display, the experience is designed to be interactive and rewarding, with exciting freebies, raffle prizes, and special cash discounts available during the four-day event.

At the heart of Changan’s MIAS 2026 presence is a simple but timely message: mobility today is no longer just about getting from one point to another. It’s about driving something that fits your pace, your priorities, and your lifestyle. Through “Drive Smart, Drive Changan,” the brand reinforces its commitment to giving Filipinos vehicles that are practical, intelligent, safe, and designed for modern life.

A lineup for every kind of lifestyle

This year, Changan is showcasing six vehicles that reflect different ways Filipinos live and move: the All-New CS35 Max, All-New Eado Plus, New CS55 Plus for preview, Nevo Hunter K50 REEV, Nevo Q05 PHEV, and Lumin BEV. Together, they paint a picture of a brand that is expanding beyond traditional motoring and into more personalized, more flexible mobility choices.

The newly launched All-New Changan CS35 Max speaks directly to young professionals and active individuals looking for an everyday vehicle with style, comfort, and confidence. With its bolder design, more spacious cabin, upgraded connectivity, and driver-focused features, the crossover is positioned as a companion for people constantly on the move—whether that means weekday meetings, after-hours plans, or spontaneous weekend drives. True to its promise to help drivers “Drive into Discovery,” the CS35 Max blends practicality with a more elevated lifestyle experience. The All-New CS35 Max is available in three (3) colors: White, Interstellar Gray, and Black. It comes in two (2) variants with the following suggested retail prices:

All-New Changan CS35 Max 1.5L Lite DCT: PhP 1,109,999

For motorists who want to turn the daily commute into something more refined and rewarding, the All-New Changan Eado Plus offers a fresh take on the sedan. Stylish, comfortable, and technology-packed, it is designed for Filipinos who want a daily driver that feels modern and polished without losing sight of value. As a model built around the idea of becoming “The New Standard for Everyday Driving,” the Eado Plus brings together smart design and everyday usability in one accessible package.

Meanwhile, for those drawn to the outdoors and a more adventurous way of life, the Changan Nevo Hunter K50 REEV brings a rugged yet versatile personality to the show floor. Designed to balance off-road capability with urban practicality, the pickup stands out as a vehicle for people whose schedules might include both weekday city drives and weekend escapes beyond the metro. Its range-extending technology, impressive driving range, and multiple drive modes make it especially appealing to drivers who want capability without compromising efficiency or flexibility. The Changan Nevo Hunter K50 is priced at PhP 1,699,000 for its 4×2 variant, and PhP 1,970,000 for its 4×4 variant.

The Changan Nevo Q05 PHEV, on the other hand, represents a more polished and progressive mobility choice for drivers ready to explore electrified driving in a compact SUV format. With its clean, modern styling and premium, comfort-oriented interior, the Q05 is suited for individuals and families who want a smart, sophisticated vehicle for everyday use. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain and intelligent energy management system reflect the growing demand for mobility options that are not only convenient, but also more mindful of efficiency and evolving lifestyles. Competitively priced at PhP 1,259,000 for the SE variant and PhP 1,449,000 for the iD variant, the Q05 is a winning contender in the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle compact SUV scene.

For urbanites looking for something compact, fun, and easy to live with, the Changan Lumin BEV offers an approachable electric vehicle made for city life. With its cheerful design, compact footprint, and practical features, the Lumin is ideal for short commutes, errands, and everyday driving around town. It is a vehicle that matches a new generation of drivers—those who value simplicity, efficiency, and personality in what they drive. The Changan Lumin L BEV retails at PhP 799,000, and the Changan Lumin S BEV at PhP 699,000.
