| The New Changan CS-35 Plus Hype arrives at EMV Villa in Indang, Cavite. |
Taking us safely on this 2-hour outdoor adventure using unfamiliar and very wet roads is the 2022 Changan CS-35 Plus Hype sub-compact crossover. This was the best time to put Changan's SafeTech to the test with its suite of above-class safety assist features that are rare to find in vehicles of its segment. For this trip, we decided to check out the EMV Flower Farm located in the municipality of Indang, Cavite.

The New Changan CS-35 Plus Hype: Our ride that breathes safety
We started our rainy journey by hopping onto the Southern Luzon Expressway (SLEX) heading south. I turned on the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go Function. This allows you to lock in your desired speed (30-150km/h). In my case, it was 80km/h. It would automatically slow down and adjust its speed once the built-in radar in the front grille (under the bumper) detects an approaching vehicle upfront. It would also safely stop (at a safe programmed distance) and go as soon as the traffic ahead starts to move. I didn't have to press on the brakes. This could be a great stress reliever on metro traffic.

With the ACC off, the hard rain also made it difficult to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Well, by activating the CS35 Plus’ Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system, it assured me of additional safety with its radar sensing. It is designed to assist you in braking to avoid any probable accident. Once activated, the AEB works together with the Front Collision Warning (FCW) system which displays a visual warning on the digital instrument panel and sets off an alarm to alert you to hit the brakes when it senses danger of rear-end collision with the vehicle in front.

While traveling through the winding roads of Indang, the CS-35 Plus felt surefooted. It handled the bends with ease and precision. Braking on the wet and sometimes uneven road surface was remarkable. The car kept its composure even with my sudden heavy application of the brakes. The CS-35's Electronic Stability Program (ESP) detects skidding and automatically applies the brakes to individual wheels to counter the loss of directional control and help maintain vehicle stability.

Excellent visibility for us and of the other motorist sharing the road is likewise crucial. The CS35 Plus’ Split LED Headlamp Design with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Whale Tail Design LED Tail Lamps aren’t there just to make a strong fashion statement; they prevent a collision by providing better visibility on the road under a heavy downpour. In addition, the Headlamp Height Adjuster allows you to angle your lights in the best position for you to see better through the rain. The Emergency Brake Lights blink and flash rapidly when the vehicle detects abrupt braking, alerting the vehicle behind of your sudden stop.

Driving to the EMV Villas was uneventful, thanks to the safety features of the CS-35 Plus.
As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a narrow gravel road, a flock of huge ducks crossing, a grazing horse, flowering plants, and muddy patches of grass. I definitely needed a 360-deg view around the car to get through this obstacle safely.
This was a perfect opportunity to try out the Around View Camera & Monitor feature which is powered by four high-definition cameras that project clear front, side, and rear images onto the large 10-inch touchscreen display, thus lessening the probability of bumping into nearby obstructions while parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. I even had a choice of which camera to activate at a given time.

Complementing this feature is the HD Driving Recorder, a built-in dash cam that automatically records all the sides captured by the Around View cams before and after potential accidents occur. Videos are saved on the Micro SD card inside the module above the brake pedal and can be quickly viewed on the 10” Touch Screen.

Providing further protection in the event of a collision are six airbags. They are strategically placed in front of the driver and front passenger, and side air curtains at the front and rear. They are deployed to help lessen injury to occupants upon impact.
