The new Changan crossover has a rather striking appearance, along with an impressive list of equipment. The model will definitely be available as an electric car, but all technical details will be revealed later.
The Changan Qiyuan Q06 crossover appeared in the database of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology back in April. And last week, the first public showcase was held in its home country, although the manufacturer has not yet disclosed all specifications. The new model will go on sale in September. In the meantime, the company continues to fuel interest in the model—additional photos and videos have been released. Let us also recall that Qiyuan is a sub-brand of Changan for electrified models, known as Nevo in export markets.
The Qiyuan Q06 crossover boasts a quite striking design. It features "muscular" sides, frameless doors with semi-hidden handles, and active shutters at the lower part of the bumper. The lighting is in the style of the Changan Qiyuan A06 liftback, which debuted last year. The crossover is also equipped with an autopilot system featuring a lidar above the windshield.
The length of the Changan Qiyuan Q06 is 4837 mm, width is 1970 mm, height is 1670 mm, and the wheelbase is 2940 mm. The new model is available with 19-, 20-, and 21-inch wheels.
Inside the five-seat cabin, there are separate screens for the instrument cluster and multimedia system, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a two-tier central tunnel. Rear passengers also have their own ceiling-mounted tablet. The seats feature ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The front passenger seat additionally has a foldable footrest, and a table is built into its backrest. A retractable box (likely with heating and cooling functions) is hidden at the end of the tunnel.
The Changan Qiyuan Q06 is an electric vehicle (with an additional compartment under the hood). According to preliminary data, the crossover will be offered in several versions—with a single electric motor producing 306 or 333 hp, as well as with two electric motors, each delivering 224 hp. However, as Chinese media report, having two electric motors in the powertrain does not necessarily mean all-wheel drive: it is said that both motors are located at the rear.
A full presentation of the Changan Qiyuan Q06 may well take place before sales begin. In that case, all specifications will be revealed in the coming weeks.
