Changan is preparing to launch the new crossover Qiyuan Q06 for sale.
The new Changan crossover has a rather striking appearance, and it also has an impressive list of equipment. The model will definitely be available as an electric car, but all details about the technology 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 showing was held in its home country, although the manufacturer still hasn’t announced all the 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 published. Let us also remind you that Qiyuan is Changan’s sub-brand for electrified models, known as Nevo in export markets.
The Qiyuan Q06 crossover has a quite impressive look. It features “muscular” sides, frameless doors with semi-hidden handles, and active shutters in the lower part of the bumper. The lighting is in the style of the Changan Qiyuan A06 liftback that debuted last year. The crossover also gets an autopilot with a lidar above the windshield.
The Changan Qiyuan Q06 is 4837 mm long, 1970 mm wide, 1670 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2940 mm. The new model offers 19-, 20-, and 21-inch wheels.
The five-seat cabin features 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 come with ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The front passenger seat additionally has a fold-out footrest, and a table is built into its backrest. At the end of the tunnel, a retractable box is hidden (most likely with heating and cooling functions).
The Changan Qiyuan Q06 is an electric vehicle (there is 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, two electric motors in the powertrain do not necessarily mean all-wheel drive: allegedly, both motors are located at the rear.
A full presentation of the Changan Qiyuan Q06 may well be held before sales begin. In that case, all specifications will become known in the coming weeks.
