The 15 200,000 yuan sedan market was originally an extremely strong position for joint venture brands, but with the rapid rise of new energy vehicles, domestic brands attacked strongly in this field and successfully tore off a piece of big fat from the hands of joint venture brands. Recently, many new faces have emerged in this price range, and as excellent representatives, Dongfeng Yipai E 007 and Changan Qiyuan A07 have a lot of attention.
The 2024 E-007 was officially launched in February '24, with a total of 4 configurations and a price range of 1596~19.960,000 yuan. The 2023 Kaizen A07 was launched in September '23, and the car is currently available in 7 configurations with a price range of 1559~17.990,000 yuan. Next, Uncle Che will select the entry-level version of Yipai E 007 and Qiyuan A07 for a detailed comparative analysis, the gap between the two cars is not large, so which model performs more prominently under this premise?
Design. 
As the first work of Dongfeng Motor's new energy sub-brand E, the E-007 is based on the No. 2 platform of Dongfeng Quantum Architecture, and the vehicle is positioned as a medium and large coupe. From the styling point of view, the coupe style of the model is very obvious, its front design is very simple, the use of popular split lamp group design on both sides, LED headlights, adaptive high and low beams and automatic headlights and other functions are standard, but also support intelligent interactive dynamic light language, the fashion atmosphere is quite strong.
Like dark blue S7 and other works, Changan Qiyuan A07 is also based on Changan EPA1 platform, and the new design language of the vehicle application brand is very new energy in temperament. The front face of the car adopts a closed front grille + through-type headlight group design, which is also one of the more common design techniques in the current market. At the same time, the car is equipped with through-type air vents at the front bumper, which makes the front part of the car look wider and more flat, and the sporty feeling is quite in place.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Yipai E 007 are 4880 1895 1460 mm, and the wheelbase is 2915mm. The side design of this model is simple and smooth, the vehicle applies the low wind resistance design concept, the bottom is matched with 18-inch low wind resistance wheels, and the door handle is also a hidden design, and the vehicle can achieve 0Ultra-low wind resistance of 209cd.
The length, width and height of Qiyuan A07 is 4905 1910 1480 mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. The body posture of the car is similar to that of the Yipai E 007, with a long front overhang, a short rear overhang, and a large roof fastback line that is as tense as a stretched bowstring, and the sporty characteristics are very obvious.
The tail design of the Yipai E 007 has a strong sense of hierarchy, the car is matched with a through-type taillight group, and a through-type red component is set in the lamp cavity, which is beautiful and looks very energetic after being lit. It is worth noting that the car also offers an electric rear spoiler, which of course needs to be optional.
The rear of the Kaizen A07 continues the minimalist design style, with a slightly upturned spoiler and a continuous taillight cluster. At the same time, the tailgate of the car is a hatchback design, and the overall opening is large, which is convenient for the storage of daily items.
Interior design. 
The interior design of the E-007 is quite innovative, the overall layout and style are on par with the new energy brand, and the minimalist design style is refreshing. Among them, the window sill of the car is set up with a horizontally stretched piano paint trim, and the top is added with a frosted material, which looks and feels good. 88-inch full LCD instrument cluster and 156-inch central control display, the former can be divided into three areas of display, the main information is simple and clear, when switching to combat mode, the screen will also be flipped, and the sense of ceremony is directly full. The latter is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the touch experience is quite smooth, the Internet of Vehicles is rich in applications, and the built-in voice system can support four-tone positioning, continuous dialogue and wake-up words. In addition, the L2 intelligent assistance system is also standard for all models!
The interior design of Kaizen A07 is in the same vein as the exterior part, although different materials are used, we can still clearly feel the atmosphere and stable aura. Like many new models, there are almost no physical buttons in the car, and the vehicle has eliminated the instrument panel in favor of a long-range full-information AR-HUD. In the process of driving, vehicle information can be projected in front of the car 7At a distance of 5 meters, the driver's eyes can read key information without having to zoom frequently, making it easier to use. At the same time, the model is matched with 154-inch central control display, which is also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, has 4G network, OTA upgrade and other functions, but the voice system only supports dual-area wake-up recognition, which is still a certain gap with Yipai E 007.
The interior seats of the E007 are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and the functions support electric adjustment of the main and co-pilot seats, heating and ventilation of the front seats, and electric seat memory of the driver's seat. The car is equipped with integrated sports seats in the front row, the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, the seat cushion length is appropriate, and the backrest and headrest can provide good lateral support, and the ride experience is comfortable.
The interior seats of the Qiyuan A07 are also wrapped in imitation leather fabric, but the functional configuration is slightly conservative, and only the electric adjustment function of the main and co-pilot seats is provided. The front seats of the car are also one-piece shape, and the frameless door is standard for the whole system, and it is still relatively stylish when getting on and off the car, but the seat shape is light and thin, and the wrapping feeling is good, but the comfort is average.
The material of the rear seats of Yipai E 007 is the same as that of the front row, and the height of the seat cushion and the angle of the backrest are more suitable for Chinese people, which can provide good support. Moreover, the rear floor** is fully flat design, and the top also has a large-size panoramic sunroof, which has a good sense of openness and does not have too much pressure when fully occupied.
The rear seats of the Kaizen A07 are set relatively forward, which sacrifices a certain amount of rear space, so its riding experience is not as good as that of the E-007. Of course, this model is not without its benefits, for example, the trunk will have more depth space, and if the rear seats are fully folded, then there is no big problem in placing items of about two meters.
Dynamical system. The entry-level models of the E-007 and Qiyuan A07 are both extended-range versions, of which the E-007 matches 1The 5L range extender, the rear drive motor has an output of 160 kW, a peak torque of 310 Nm, and a score of 7 per 100 km2 seconds. At the same time the car matching capacity of 28The 39 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack has a CLTC pure electric range of 200km.
Kaizen A07 Extended Range Edition also uses 1The 5L Atkinson cycle engine is matched with a rear-drive motor with a maximum output of 160 kW and a peak torque of 320 Nm, with a time of 7 per 100 km9 seconds. At the same time the car is set with a capacity of 28The 4 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack has a CLTC pure electric range of 200km, and the CLTC comprehensive range of both vehicles is 1200km.
Uncle Che concluded. As a representative work in the 150,000-level new energy car market, Yipai E 007 and Qiyuan A07 both have good competitiveness. Through the above analysis, it can be seen that under the premise that the gap is not large, Yipai E 007 has a slight lead over Qiyuan A07 in terms of sportiness, functional configuration level, ride comfort and power performance, etc., and the product power and cost performance are stable over the opponent. If you want to choose between these two models, Uncle Che will still recommend the Yipai E 007 more.
