About
Changan is a central government-owned automaker headquartered in Chongqing, with roots as a military supply factory that began building vehicles in 1959. It was reorganized as an independent, centrally administered state enterprise in 2025 and remains one of China’s largest carmakers by volume, alongside long-standing joint ventures with Ford and Mazda.
The core Changan brand spans combustion, hybrid, and electric SUVs, sedans, and MPVs, including the CS55 Plus compact SUV exported to more than 50 countries. Changan’s newer energy strategy runs through two sibling brands: Avatr, a premium EV line developed with CATL and Huawei, and Deepal, a mainstream EV and EREV brand that became independent in 2023.
