Changing the power of choice: Introducing the all-new Changan Alsvin

Changan Motor Philippines Inc., the official distributor of Changan vehicles in the Philippines, has brought a serious contender to the subcompact sedan segment that allows customers to expect more and nothing less: the Changan Alsvin.

Known in other countries as the sedan that “exceeds everyday demands and expectations,” the Alsvin is built to ensure that you will not be compromising your standards— be it in terms of style, technology, fuel efficiency, or safety. Measuring 4,390mm long, 1,725mm wide, and 1,490mm high and with a wheelbase of 2,535mm, the Alsvin is ready to win you over with its size and an array of irresistible features.

Outside, you will be greeted by its eye-catching “Butterfly-wing” radiator grille, which comes with Projector Headlamps and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL). This is the sedan that also comes with an enviable sunroof which can be used for added natural light and ventilation inside the cabin. But the surprises do not end there because standard to the Alsvin are the 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system that can play music and videos, control wireless phone calls via Bluetooth, and access the AM/FM radio; the manual air-conditioning system with its modern digital display; and plush leather seats that are bound to impress.

And to stay true to its promise of exceeding everyday demands and expectations, the Alsvin is giving you the power to choose the efficient variant fit for your everyday driving needs. There is the 1.4L 5-speed manual transmission that can deliver maximum power of 100ps and maximum torque of 135Nm; and the 1.5L 5-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) that gives you a maximum power of 107ps and maximum torque of 145Nm. The 1.5L 5-Speed DCT also applies to the Alsvin Platinum variant which is packed with the Cruise Control function that lets you lock on to your desired speed and the Blind Spot Camera and Monitor that make parking easier and safer.

Safety in the Alsvin does not end there. It is also equipped with Dual Airbags and Reverse Camera, while its DCT variants possess the Hill-Hold Control (HHC) that lets you apply brakes before seamlessly changing from brake pedal to accelerator and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) that detects skidding and applies the brakes to individual wheels if necessary, to counter the loss of steering control.

Accomplishing your daily essentials while exceeding your expectations gets more convenient with the Changan Alsvin at an introductory price that starts at PhP 539,000.

Enjoy driving any of the Alsvin variants in 1.4L MT (PhP 539,000 Introductory Price; PhP 579,000 SRP), 1.5L 5-speed DCT (PhP 599,000 Introductory Price; PhP 639,000), and 1.5L 5-speed DCT Platinum (PhP 639,000 Introductory Price; PhP 679,000 SRP).
