Used Changan CS55 Plus in Dubai

Used Changan CS55 Plus Market Overview & Pricing

The rear suspension is better than the price suggests

The CS55 Plus uses an independent multi link arrangement at the back, where a lot of cars at this money use something simpler. It is the reason the car rides the way it does over broken tarmac and speed bumps, and it is the single most underrated thing about it.

There is a consequence for a used buyer. More links, joints and bushes at the rear means more that can wear, and it wears quietly. That is where a hard life shows on this car first, and it is the ten minutes on a ramp that nobody spends.

What the car actually is

A five seat compact SUV with a 1.5 litre turbocharged four, driving the front wheels through a seven speed dual clutch. There is no four wheel drive version, so the raised body is packaging and not capability.

It sits between the smallest SUV in the range and the larger one, which is why buyers keep landing on it. Size is genuinely the decision, and this is the one that answers it for most families.

Outputs moved across the years

What the engine produces has changed between model years, so two CS55 Plus adverts at similar money are not automatically describing the same car. The badge does not distinguish them and the seller often does not know.

Get the model year off the registration card and treat it as part of the specification, not as a footnote. It is the detail that separates two cars that look identical in photographs.

Market pricing and availability

Stock is modest, so a used Changan CS55 Plus Dubai search will usually show a couple of cars. Widen it nationally when the year you want is not among them.

Because there is one engine family and one drivetrain, the comparison comes down to year, service record and remaining cover. Three answers and you can rank a shortlist without leaving the house.

Cover, upkeep and what it holds

Factory cover is the strongest thing this brand offers a used buyer and it goes unchecked more often than not. Terms are long, so a two or three year old car often still carries a real amount of warranty, which is money against the asking price.

Running costs are moderate: a small turbocharged engine in a mid size body, affordable insurance and inexpensive servicing. Budget for the gearbox oil service, which is what keeps the dual clutch healthy. Resale is the honest weakness, so a Changan CS55 Plus second hand is a car to keep for a few years, never one to trade quickly.

Top Premium Dealerships for a Used Changan CS55 Plus in Dubai

Why buy with OneClickDrive

The advert connects you to the dealership or the private seller and nobody else. No commission from us, and nothing added to the price you agree. The listing is honest about the car: its own photographs, the distance actually covered and the specification in full, with free warranty cover on a good number. Emirates NBD is the bank we finance through, normally answering within 24 to 48 hours, subject to eligibility and approval. Selling it on later is something we help with, free.

An estimated monthly figure sits under every price, which is the number to compare when two cars from different model years are asking similar money.

Where to look

Ask for the model year and the service history in the same message, because on this car those two answers do most of the sorting and both take a seller under a minute.

Then widen the area. A used Changan CS55 Plus for sale in UAE search brings in the other emirates and is usually where a specific year turns up. Locally, a used Changan CS55 Plus for sale in Dubai with a complete record and cover still running is worth the premium it asks.

Critical Buyer Checkpoints for Dubai

Get it on a ramp and look at the back

This is the check that matters most on this car. With the vehicle raised, look at the rear suspension links, the bushes and the mounting points for splits, weeping dampers and play, and get somebody to move a wheel while you watch.

A car that has spent years on rough surfaces and speed bumps taken too fast will show it here long before anything appears at the front. It is not expensive to put right if you know about it, and it is expensive if you do not.

Confirm the year, then drive it from cold

Read the model year off the registration card first, since the engine output has moved and it is what identifies the car properly. Then start it cold and let it warm through.

Listen for hesitation as the boost arrives and watch the dual clutch as it takes up drive. Judge that gearbox at walking pace in a car park before the road drive, because warm and moving it hides most of what it has to say.

Get the car inspected before you pay a deposit

Several CS55 Plus listings on OneClickDrive already carry an inspection and say so. Start with those, and whoever arranges it, ask for the rear suspension to be reported on separately, because there is more of it here than on most cars at this money.

Where the listing shows no report, get one done at the RTA or an approved centre in Dubai before a deposit changes hands. It sets out accident and repair history, whether the chassis has been straightened, and the true condition of the engine, gearbox, brakes and air conditioning. Have the car put on a ramp instead of looked over in a car park, because the parts worth seeing on this one are underneath.

Equipment and the air conditioning

Give the equipment twenty unhurried minutes, working across the screen, the cameras, the sensors and every climate function in turn, since this is where the money went on a car at this price. Run the air conditioning flat out for ten of those minutes with the vehicle in the sun and judge it at the end, not at the start.

Cover, records and origin

Confirm the vehicle is GCC specification and reached the road through the official network, since that is what keeps the warranty usable and the parts straightforward. Run the chassis number for accident repairs and any registered finance, and ask the network to set out in writing what cover remains against it.

Read the odometer against the stamps and the invoices sitting behind them, then read the rear of the cabin instead of the driver's seat, because a family SUV does its living in the back.

Finance, EMI and no down payment offers

Fix the model year before you fix the budget, because what the engine produces has moved across the years and two cars at similar money are not necessarily the same proposition. Once you know which you want, get the Emirates NBD approval and an insurance quote. Every listing carries an estimated monthly figure under the price.

There are dealers able to complete a purchase without a deposit, using a lender they work with directly. It is in no listing, so the question is yours to put. Terms move between showrooms, and neither a private sale between two individuals nor an export purchase can carry the offer.

Paperwork on the day

You need the original Mulkiya, documents from both sides, insurance active in your name, and a visit to the RTA after every outstanding fine is paid. The fines belong to the seller and nothing moves until they are cleared.

An outstanding loan stops the transfer until the bank has issued a liability letter with the settlement figure and then a clearance certificate once that figure is paid. Raise it in the first conversation. A seller who knows the number already has usually kept the rest of the paperwork just as tidily, and that is worth knowing before you look at the car.

Trusted Digital Marketplace

Find your second hand Changan CS55 Plus

Filter on year and distance, shortlist two, and put the same three questions to each seller through the listing: which model year, when was the gearbox oil last changed, and how much factory cover is left against the chassis number.

Search beyond the emirate as well. A CS55 Plus for sale in UAE elsewhere is often where a particular year appears, and a used car Changan CS55 Plus with the file behind it is worth the drive. Locally, a CS55 Plus for sale in Dubai in that condition sells on again easily.
