On March 28, we learned from the relevant channels that the C385 model was unveiled at the 2022 China Electric Vehicle 100 People's Meeting, and from the on-site pictures, the new car outer box design mainly advocates the sense of science and technology and sports. It is worth mentioning that Changan New Energy also officially announced the size of the new car, which is different from the compact model speculated before, the new car size car length, width and height are 4820/1890/1480mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which seems to be a medium-sized car.

According to previous planning, Changan C385 will be listed in the second quarter of 2022.
Combined with the previous news, the overall shape of the C385 new car adopts the "hatchback" style that is currently popular with young users, with a slight visual effect of a crossover sedan. The side is equipped with hidden door handles, the waistline is slightly raised, and the C-pillar window position has also been added with a rather ingenious design. The shape style of the rim is also in line with the positioning of pure electric vehicle models!

Due to the heavy responsibility of Changan Automobile's new energy brand, Changan C385 has attracted the attention of many consumers from the beginning of its appearance, and it is not known whether the sales volume in the month after the listing can reach 5,000 vehicles.
It is worth noting that the logo of this Changan C385 is like a mystery, perhaps the model is too important, Changan New Energy is also too cautious, try not to determine the brand positioning of the new car, before there was news, Changan New Energy to launch the CD brand, C385 for the brand's first car, and later there were media explosions, Changan New Energy new CD brand or named Qiyuan Automobile, the main body of the account is Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., the avatar is Changan new model C385, This represents the brand's first model, the C385.
However, so far, whether Changan C385 is directly attributed to Changan New Energy or will be attributed to the new brand launched by Changan New Energy is still unknown.
