 Guinness World Record set by Changan CS75 Plus with 68.6-foot ice ramp jump      

The Changan CS75 Plus has smashed a Guinness World Record for the longest jump distance on an ice ramp by a petrol-powered SUV, soaring 20.9 meters in bone-chilling conditions below -30°C. This thrilling feat highlights Chinese automaker Changan’s push for tough, reliable performance in extreme environments, big news for car fans around the world, who love SUVs which handle real challenges. Since its debut in September 2019, the Changan CS75 Plus has evolved through four generations. Chinese automaker Changan has made headlines after its 4th-generation CS75 Plus gasoline-powered SUV set a Guinness World Record for the longest jump on an ice ramp, soaring 68.6 feet in an extreme cold environment. The CS75 Plus is equipped with Changan’s Tianshu Intelligent All-Domain Safety System, which integrates electronic stability control (ESC) and a traction control system (TCS). Following is the list of important technology features behind the success:-

The CS75 Plus uses Changan’s Tianshu Intelligent All-Domain Safety System to deliver top performance:

Quick-adjusting systems ensure confident handling in extreme cold.

Traction Control System (TCS): Monitors wheel speed in real time and prevents wheel slip on ice.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Helps keep the vehicle steady during dynamic maneuvers.

These features make the SUV safer and more capable off-road.

The TCS continuously monitors wheel dynamics and can intervene in real time to prevent slippage, ensuring precise handling during challenging maneuvers such as high-speed jumps on icy surfaces. This record demonstrates both performance and advanced safety technology which Changan is incorporating into its SUVs. The 4th-generation Changan CS75 Plus comes with two engine options, a 1.5T and a 2.0T, offering a balance of performance and efficiency for modern SUV drivers. The 1.5T model is powered by Changan’s Blue Whale 1.5T engine with high-pressure direct injection, delivering 189 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. It is also paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, enabling a 0–62 mph sprint in 7.9 to 8.9 seconds depending on the trim. Fuel efficiency is rated at 34 mpg combined, making it a practical choice for everyday driving while still offering responsive acceleration and confident handling.

For drivers seeking more power, the 2.0T version of the Changan CS75 Plus delivers a commanding 229 hp and 288 lb-ft of torque. Like the 1.5T model, it is paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 7.3 seconds. According to the report, Changan’s 4th-generation CS75 Plus gasoline SUV set the official Guinness World Records title for the “longest ramp jump by a petrol-powered sport utility vehicle (SUV) on ice.”  Driver Jia Qiang launched the vehicle across two ice ramps, covering 20.9 meters (about 68.6 feet) in temperatures which dipped below -30°C (-22°F). The stunt proves the SUV’s stability and control on slippery, frozen surfaces. This engine provides strong performance for highway merging, overtaking and spirited driving, while maintaining smooth and responsive handling. Combined with advanced safety features and a refined chassis, the 2.0T CS75 Plus balances everyday practicality with the extra power and confidence which more performance-oriented SUV drivers demand.

The Changan CS75 Plus has evolved continually refining its design, performance and technology. The second-generation model arrived in 2022, followed by the third in 2023, with the fourth generation launching in 2024, with each iteration introducing updates in styling, powertrain options and safety features. The CS75 Plus combines power, efficiency and modern tech with following:-

Smooth Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission for quick acceleration and good fuel economy.

Engine options available are the Blue Whale 1.5T (189 hp, 310 Nm) or the 2.0T (229 hp, 390 Nm).

Spacious cabin with up to a 37-inch triple-screen setup, an AI voice assistant and advanced driver assistance systems.

The latest model comes with a built-in iFlytek Spark AI large language model, offering an intelligent voice assistant to control in-car functions and enhance the driving experience. It also features Level 2 advanced driver-assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance and automated emergency braking. Practicality is a focus as well, with 21 thoughtfully designed storage compartments spread throughout the cabin, keeping personal items organized and within easy reach.
