The electric vehicle market welcomed a formidable new player on September 28th. On that day, Changan Qiyuan opened pre-orders for its A06 mid-size sedan. Pre-sale prices for the pure electric models are aggressive, starting from just ¥119,900 to ¥159,900. Because of this, the A06 is poised to make a significant impact. Based on Changan’s state-of-the-art SDA platform, this vehicle is truly a complete package of performance, comfort, and innovation.
World-Class Design Meets Intelligent Tech
A global team led by world-class designer Klaus Zyciora crafted the Qiyuan A06. Consequently, its exterior is a masterclass in modern aesthetics. The front features a seamless headlight bar composed of 236 LEDs. This design improves illumination brightness by 21% and width by 27%. This light bar, paired with an illuminated logo, certainly gives the car an unmistakable presence. In addition, high-end trims also feature LiDAR for advanced driver assistance.
The A06 has generous dimensions and a long 2922mm wheelbase. As a result, this design creates an exceptional 90% cabin-to-vehicle space ratio. Its sleek lines also contribute to an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.205Cd. This is further enhanced by details like frameless doors and semi-hidden handles. Of course, buyers can choose between 18-inch and 19-inch wheels.
At the back, the car features a stunning matrix taillight with 274 individual LEDs. These lights can even be customized with unique sequences. In a brilliant design touch, the illuminated logos also double as hidden electric switches. For example, a gentle double-tap on the front or rear logo opens the frunk or trunk.
A Cabin Focused on Supreme Comfort and Quality
Inside, the Qiyuan A06 is a sanctuary of comfort. The design is both eco-friendly and premium. In fact, over 90% of the cabin is covered in soft, skin-friendly NAPPA-textured materials. This gives it a quality that feels a class above. The 256-color ambient lighting further enhances the mood. There are also three available interior colors: Pearl White, Style Gray, and Cloud Dream Purple.
Above all, comfort is paramount. For instance, every seat features ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The front seats can even recline to connect with the rear cushions. This creates an industry-first 28-point “Master-level” full-body massage mode. The centerpiece is a slim, bezel-less central screen running a highly fluid OS, which now includes voiceprint recognition. The A06 also adds a dedicated LCD instrument cluster for the driver.
To keep you connected, the car includes dual 50W wireless fast-charging pads. Meanwhile, rear passengers get a 67W wired fast-charging port. You can protect the stunning center display with HiLUCK’s precision-cut, anti-glare screen protectors. Ultimately, they keep your view crystal-clear and free of fingerprints.
Intelligent Features and Impressive Practicality
A standout feature is the intelligent customizable knob. It can be programmed for one-touch access to your favorite functions. The vehicle’s practicality is also impressive. Specifically, it has a massive combined front and rear trunk capacity of 764 liters. You can maximize this incredible space with HiLUCK’s premium cargo organizers and all-weather liners. These accessories keep your belongings secure and your trunk pristine.
The Qiyuan A06 also comes with a 20-speaker NEVO Sound audio system. Additionally, it has double-layer acoustic glass on all four doors. There is even a refrigerated/heated box with its own compressor for ultimate convenience.
Power, Performance, and 800V Ultra-Fast Charging
The Qiyuan A06 will be available in pure EV and EREV versions. It is built on an 800V high-voltage SiC platform. The EV models offer two motor options: a 120 kW version and a high-performance 210 kW version. The more powerful motor, for example, achieves 0-100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. Its advanced chassis uses a front double-wishbone and rear five-link suspension. Therefore, it promises a superb balance of comfort and dynamic handling.
Charging anxiety becomes a thing of the past thanks to 6C ultra-fast charging. In other words, this allows the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in just 9 minutes. You can add 330km of range in only 10 minutes. The top model uses a 63.18 kWh LFP battery, delivering a CLTC range of 630 km. Moreover, it supports V2L (Vehicle-to-Load), providing up to 6kW of external power.
Our Verdict
In conclusion, the Changan Qiyuan A06 enters the ring as a powerful, well-rounded contender. It competes against rivals like the Xpeng MONA M03 and Neta S. Indeed, it impresses on nearly every front, from its dynamic design to its cutting-edge 800V charging. While it currently lacks city-level autonomous driving (NCA), its overall package is still an incredible value.
With its blend of style, comfort, and next-gen technology, the Qiyuan A06 could certainly be the next big hit. And to make this exceptional vehicle truly yours, enhance it with the premium quality and perfect fit of HiLUCK accessories.
