Welcome to Changan.
Driven To Evolve.
With over 160 years of history, Changan stands as one of China’s “Big Four” automotive groups, trusted by millions of drivers worldwide. What began as a manufacturer rooted in craftsmanship has evolved into a global powerhouse — designing vehicles that balance heritage with forward-thinking innovation.
Today, Changan’s footprint spans more than 75 countries, with more than 30 million vehicles sold globally and a reputation for advanced research, cutting-edge technology, and quality you can depend on. This legacy isn’t just about longevity - it’s about consistency, credibility, and a relentless drive to deliver better mobility for generations to come.
Now, that same global strength and innovative spirit has arrived in South Africa - bringing with it the confidence of a brand built on trust, and the excitement of cars designed for what’s next.
As a global leader in automotive innovation, Changan designs vehicles that don’t just look good on paper - they’re engineered to perform in real-world conditions. That’s why every model introduced to South Africa is carefully adapted and tested to handle our roads, our climate, and our way of life. From urban commutes to long-distance journeys, Changan vehicles deliver reliability, durability and comfort that fit seamlessly into the South African driving experience.
With the strength of 21 factories in 76 plants worldwide, and 120 000 professional personnel, Changan offers South Africans the best of both worlds: international innovation, shaped for homegrown journeys.
Changan’s DUBHE Plan 2.0 signals a bold leap into intelligent mobility - phasing out non-smart models in favour of a tech-savvy future. Over the next three years, Changan will introduce 35 new intelligent vehicle models, equipping even affordable cars with advanced driver-assistance systems. With ambitions to achieve Level 3 autonomous driving by 2026, and Level 4 by 2028, the DUBHE Plan cements Changan’s commitment to bringing AI-powered safety, connectivity, and innovation to the road.
