As we all know, Changan Automobile has launched a new product series "Kaiyuan", and the addition of Kaiyuan not only brings a new logo, but also launches the first medium and large sedan Changan Qiyuan A07, which can provide extended-range hybrid and pure electric versions for consumers to choose from.
The new car is presented with a new design language, with a completely new front face, a closed front grille and continuous headlamps forming one of the most prevalent design trends on the market. Through-air vents at the front bumper make the overall vehicle appear wider and lower. The car's logo is interpreted as binary 1s and 0s, symbolizing the basic origin of numbers.
Along the side of the body, the new car adopts the popular fastback design, and the overall appearance is simple and sleek. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4905 1910 1480mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2900mm.
While the height is in line with the wheelbase and navy SL03, it is superior in length and width, allowing it to be upgraded from a mid-size car positioning to a mid-to-large sedan. Depending on the configuration, the car will be available in two tire sizes: 225 55 R18 and 245 45 R19.
The rear of the car also adopts a minimalist design, with a continuous tail light cluster and a slightly warped ducktail design, which makes the car look more sporty.
Inside, the interior of the new car is upholstered in leather and wood grain, and the center console and door panels are decorated with wrap-around ambient lighting, creating a sober atmosphere overall. The multi-function steering wheel has a two-spoke design, and the black design elements on the sides enhance the sense of luxury. The introduction of the HUD and pocket gear design further enhances the driving experience. The diamond-stitched design of the seat is expected to provide excellent comfort.
In terms of power, the new car is based on the Changan EPA1 platform and is available in range-extended hybrid and pure electric versions. The range extender adopts 1The 5L Atkinson cycle engine has a maximum power of 66kW and a drive motor with a maximum power of 160kW, with a comprehensive range of up to 1,200km.
The all-electric version is equipped with a drive motor with a model XTDM27, with a maximum power of 258 horsepower, and a range of between 515 km and 705 km, which is comparable to the electric version of the Deep Blue SL03.
In the new energy medium and large car market, BYD Han and Leapmotor C01 are two representative models, and at the same time, the new product of Ocean Network, Seal DM-i, is also a competitor that cannot be ignored. These models will compete fiercely with Changan Qiyuan A07 in the market.
As for whether Chang'an Qiyuan A07 has an "involution" problem, I think this is an too narrow view. Although these two models belong to the same platform products under the same brand, they are positioned differently, and the price is expected to be different, with a price range of 1419-16.590,000, can you accept it?
