Addressing motoring journalists at the launch, Stallion Motors’ Head of Sale and Marketing, Vijay Singh, said his company rolled out the new CS15 to satisfy the desire of Nigerian auto lovers for SUVs that combine beauty with intelligence, strength and value for money.

He stated: “Essentially, the latest CS15 comes loaded with ABS, Airbags, Anti theft alarm, Collision Detection, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Immobilizer, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Rear Camera and more. “The new CS15 is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder Petrol engine mated onto 5DCT (Dual-clutch transmission), which generates 105 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque.

“Interestingly, as the nation and the rest of the world face challenges of volatile fuel price, CS15, which frugally travels across 100 kilometers using only 6.5 litres of fuel, is pocket-friendly.”

The Crossover also comes with a brand-new chassis adjustment, which translates to comfortable cruising control on the city or highway.

Indeed, CS15’s cute styling is a proof that Changan designers took their creative prowess to another level, resulting in a muscular exterior curves that conveys surging power.
