Today, we get the first glimpse of Changan‘s future, the Changan C385. Despite the bland name, the C385 is a great-looking EV sedan with lots of exciting tech. Lagging behind its peers, Changan has a lot of catching up to do in the EV game. To catch up, Changan (C) has joined forces with Huawei (H) and CATL (N, Ningde Era) to develop the CHN architecture. Since the C385 is the first vehicle to sit upon the CHN platform, Changan has to get this right.

From photos of the C385’s preproduction release, the exterior is quite stunning. Featuring aggressive DRLs and a sporty facia, the C385 has a clean look that should age quite well. Also, small overhangs and great proportions on the side profile give the vehicle a premium, almost sports-car-like stance.
