Changan is elevating its tech game with an exciting new version of its Qiyuan Q07 SUV. Specifically, we’ve just learned from official sources that the Qiyuan Q07 Tianshu Driving Assist Lidar Edition is set to hit the market on October 10th.

This new model will sit at the top of the Q07 lineup, which currently consists of six “Vision Edition” (camera-based) models priced between ¥129,800 and ¥171,800. The key upgrade, as the name suggests, is the integration of LiDAR. As a result, it promises a significant leap forward in autonomous driving capabilities. Let’s explore what this feature-packed SUV has to offer.

Futuristic Exterior Design

The Qiyuan Q07 stands out with a fresh, modern design language. For instance, the front features a clean, closed-off grille, which is characteristic of new energy vehicles. A major highlight, in addition, is the full-color DLP projection headlights, which can project an image up to 150 inches in size, turning any wall into a screen. The SUV is also available in five colors, including Cloud White, Shadow Gray, and a special launch color, Moon Silver.

In terms of size, the Q07 measures 4837mm (L) x 1920mm (W) x 1690mm (H), with a generous 2905mm wheelbase. Similarly, the rear of the vehicle features a stylish full-width taillight assembly with a distinctive layered design on the sides, creating a highly recognizable look.

A Cabin Packed with Luxury and Technology

While the exterior is impressive, the interior is where the Qiyuan Q07 truly shines. It comes equipped with what Changan calls the “Tianyu Cockpit.” Dominating the dashboard is a massive 15.4-inch central screen powered by the Tianyu OS. Furthermore, the system integrates the “AI Tianshu” large model, enabling advanced, full-scenario voice interaction.

Indeed, the list of comfort and tech features is exceptionally long:

• Heated, ventilated, massaging, and memory front seats.

• A zero-gravity front passenger seat for ultimate relaxation.

• A 12.8-inch dedicated entertainment screen for the front passenger.

• Heated and ventilated rear seats.

• Convenient rear-seat tray tables.

• A 1.2-square-meter panoramic sunroof with a physical button for the electric sunshade.

• CDC “Magic Carpet” adaptive suspension for a smoother ride.

• A heated steering wheel, 256-color ambient lighting, and an AR-HUD.

• A 16-speaker sound system and support for connecting external screens.

Consequently, with this much screen real estate and so many premium surfaces, keeping the cabin looking pristine is essential. HiLUCK’s custom-fit, anti-glide screen protectors are a must-have to keep the dual front displays free of fingerprints and smudges. Moreover, with family-friendly features like rear tray tables, you’ll want to protect your investment. Consider HiLUCK’s durable seat-back protectors and all-weather floor mats to keep the luxurious interior clean during daily use and family road trips.

Efficient and Powerful Hybrid Options

Finally, let’s look at the powertrain. The Qiyuan Q07 is powered by the intelligent “New Blue Whale 3.0” hybrid system, which is offered in two main configurations:

• 1.5T Hybrid System: This version features a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 110kW. It provides an excellent pure electric range of 215km and an impressive combined range of up to 1,400km.

• 1.5L Hybrid System: On the other hand, this version has a combined system power of 237kW. It is available with two battery options, offering a pure electric range of 145km or 215km, and a total combined range of 1,345km or 1,400km, respectively.

In conclusion, with its advanced LiDAR system, incredibly luxurious cabin, and highly efficient powertrain, the Changan Qiyuan Q07 Lidar Edition is shaping up to be a powerful contender in the market. Of course, all eyes will be on the final pricing when it’s announced on October 10th.
