Changan traces its roots back to 1862 as a Qing-era military supplier before formally entering vehicle production in 1959 with the Changjiang Type 46 jeep. Today headquartered in Chongqing, it operates as one of China’s leading automakers with self-owned brands—such as Alsvin compact sedans, Eado family cars and the CS55/CS75 SUV series—alongside premium offshoots like Deepal and joint ventures with Ford and Mazda. Changan consistently ranks among the top ten global manufacturers by volume and exports to over 60 countries. In 2025, it will debut its Deepal electric SUV in multiple European markets. Known for rapid product development and extensive research into smart and green technologies, Changan blends heritage manufacturing with cutting-edge mobility.
