Overview

  • Grupo Antelo is selling the CS55 Plus PHEV nationwide at US$32,000, placing it among Argentina’s least‑expensive plug‑in hybrids.
  • The SUV pairs a 1.5‑liter petrol engine (109 hp) with a 212‑hp electric motor and an 18.4 kWh LiFePO4 battery rated for about 100 km of electric driving, with 30–80% recharge in roughly 50 minutes on a wall charger.
  • LA NACION measured about 870 km total range at 6.6 L/100 km mixed use, while Clarín reported over 1,000 km on a 50‑liter tank with roughly 5.2 L/100 km average.
  • Equipment includes six airbags, a full ADAS suite with ACC, AEB, LKA and blind‑spot monitoring, plus 360° recording, backed by a 5‑year/150,000‑km vehicle warranty and 8‑year/150,000‑km hybrid coverage.
  • Reviewers flag the lack of a spare wheel as a notable drawback for local roads, as the model arrives under a program allowing 50,000 electrified imports to enter tariff‑free.
