Inchcape Philippines, the exclusive distributor of Changan automobiles in the country, debuted the all-new 2026 Changan Eado Plus 1.5 DCT today, March 25, 2026, at the Changan Pasig showroom along Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C5) in Pasig City, Metro Manila. The Eado Plus replaces the Alsvin as the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) front-wheel drive 4-door sedan model in Changan’s extensive model line-up.
The Eado nameplate was introduced 14 years ago in China to meet the rising demand for stylish, efficient sedans. With an impressive sales volume of 168,900 units, the Eado was hailed as the Best-Selling Gasoline Sedan Brand in China by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). Changan proudly promotes the all-new 2026 Eado Plus 1.5 DCT with the slogan “The New Standard for Everyday Driving”.
Exterior Modernity, Interior Functionality
The all-new 2026 Changan Eado Plus 1.5 DCT has a modern and cutting-edge exterior design, with a prominent three-dimensional grille, halogen projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, body-colored door handles, power-adjustable side mirrors with integrated turn signals, 16-inch wheels, fin-type antenna, and winged LED taillights with chrome garnish.
The interior of the Eado Plus focuses on comfort, functionality and safety with black fabric-upholstered ergonomic seats and an air conditioning system equipped with an advanced PM2.5-grade air filter. Standard features an Auto On/Off function, 10.25-inch full color TFT instrument cluster, a day/night rearview mirror, sun visors, rear window defogger, and LED cabin reading lights.
