On August 27, the “Chinese version of the Cybertruck,” the Changan Qiyuan E07, underwent its first public test. The test took place on the route from Changan Automobile’s global R&D center to the Dianjiang testing site. Changan Automobile Chairman Zhu Huarong and President Wang Jun led the test. They acted as product experience officers. They witnessed the Changan Qiyuan E07’s strengths in smart driving technology, intelligent cockpit interaction, and vehicle dynamics. Users saw how the Changan Qiyuan E07 supports safe and intelligent travel in real scenarios.
The event offers users a new car buying experience with the upgraded Changan Qiyuan E07. Starting now, registered users on the Topspace official app can pay 9.9 yuan (0$). This payment adds to the existing 1000 yuan (140$) option fund, 1000 yuan (140$) car model discount coupon, and priority invitation for official activities. Users who registered early and paid 9.9 yuan (0$) can claim free home test drive rights. The home test drive starts on September 1. Users who complete their first test drive can receive a 1000 yuan (140$) option fund.
The intelligent driving system is unique. We have everything you have. The Changan Qiyuan E07 marks Changan’s official entry into the end-to-end large model intelligent driving field. At this event, executives acted as testers. They conducted intelligent driving tests on highways, urban expressways, and the Dianjiang test site. This showcased Changan’s unique technological strength and verified if the Qiyuan E07 could provide users with diverse intelligent driving experiences. On the highway, the test focused on the vehicle’s driving efficiency and lane change decisions. In heavy traffic, the Qiyuan E07’s high-speed intelligent navigation assist system quickly identifies the best lane for efficiency. It effectively avoids congestion and collisions, reducing user anxiety. When exiting the highway, if the rightmost lane has slow vehicles, the Qiyuan E07 autonomously overtakes them based on traffic conditions. This ensures a smoother speed and avoids potential safety risks. When facing construction obstacles or stationary objects, the Qiyuan E07 proactively changes lanes without error. It also keeps a safe distance from larger vehicles. The system adjusts speed as needed and monitors vehicles approaching from behind, always aligning with the driver’s intentions. Unique features like follow-me mode and mountain road IACC constantly ensure user safety and expand possibilities for exploration and travel. As Changan’s Jun Ge said, “The intelligent driving system developed by Changan Auto fully meets the cultural expectations of the Chinese people for lasting safety.”
The urban expressway presents complexity and variability. It tests vehicle intelligent driving systems for risk prevention and strategic ability. This scenario closely resembles daily driving situations. After testing this route, Chang’an Jun Ge noted that Chang’an’s intelligent driving focuses on details to maximize performance. He stated, “Chang’an intelligent driving is unique and prioritizes safety as its primary mission.” The Qiyuan E07 features IACC intelligent cruise assist. It can follow the path of the car in front or maintain its position in the lane, driving as smoothly as an experienced driver. Notably, the Qiyuan E07 will launch the industry’s only integrated remote parking feature via OTA in December 2024. This feature will significantly reduce user operation costs. When parking spaces are tight or difficult to maneuver, users can activate remote parking in and out through a mobile app with one click, enjoying unparalleled convenience.
The Changan Yuanyuan E07 features unique hardware, equipped with a full suite of controls for all scenarios. After completing the morning’s smart driving tests, the afternoon dynamic driving session posed strict challenges for the E07. Changan Automobile Chairman Zhu Huarong and President Wang Jun experienced the high-performance and basic performance courses. During testing, the Changan Tianheng intelligent chassis showcased its refined quality. This chassis system uses a front double-wishbone and rear H-arm all-aluminum independent suspension design. The entire system uses aluminum alloy, achieving a 30% weight reduction and over 20% stiffness improvement for a more responsive overall performance. In corners, the front double-wishbone suspension provides greater lateral stiffness, enhancing grip and preventing roll. On bumpy roads, the rear H-arm multi-link suspension demonstrates excellent impact resistance, effectively absorbing shocks and improving vehicle stability and handling.
The Changan Qiyuan E07 features the CDC+ air spring intelligent magic carpet suspension. This system adjusts damping based on road conditions. It offers balanced comfort and stability. The suspension has a height adjustment range of up to 90mm. It automatically adapts to different speeds. The adjustable softness and height enhance the driving experience. Changan Automobile Chairman Zhu Huarong drove the Qiyuan E07 at the Chongqing Dajiang test site. He reached a speed of 235 km/h while carrying three passengers.
The Chang’an Qiyuan E07 impresses users with its excellent NVH performance. Its Quiet Deep Space NVH technology uses double-layer soundproof glass and ultra-quiet tires, among over a hundred NVH design optimizations. This creates a noise experience comparable to million-dollar luxury cars. It achieves outstanding noise control, with only 55.8 dB at 60 km/h over rough asphalt and 60.4 dB at 50 km/h on concrete. Even on elevated highways, it maintains excellent noise control, ensuring a library-like quiet environment for all passengers. The intelligent cockpit stands out. Users can interact deeply with the vehicle simply by speaking. The Chang’an Qiyuan E07 leads the industry in smart driving and offers a revolutionary smart cockpit experience. To meet the higher expectations of the new generation, the Qiyuan E07 features a groundbreaking design with “one room, one hall, one terrace,” a multifunctional deformable trunk, electric partition glass, and an interstellar panoramic roof with an electric sunshade. This creates a unique cabin atmosphere and opens a new chapter in future mobility.
To meet user demands in various scenarios, the Qiyuan E07 smart cockpit integrates over 16 controllers across domains like body, power, chassis, air conditioning, and thermal management. It offers modes like cinema, child, and sleep care, greatly simplifying user operations. For example, when users want to rest in the car, they previously had to adjust the seat, set the air conditioning, and close the windows. Now, they just activate the nap mode. The car automatically adjusts the seat, turns on the air conditioning and air purification, and closes the doors and ambient lights, creating a comfortable and personalized resting environment. Executives praise the camping mode. With one button, users can activate camping features. The rear door opens fully, the partition glass lowers, and the air conditioning and rear reading lights turn on. Users can lie in the car, stargaze, read a book, and enjoy their space. Users can also program scene modes through the car system or mobile app. They can drag and drop for scene programming, use programmer-level programming, or issue voice commands to program, becoming designers of their own lives.
The Qiyuan E07 features unique all-scenario voice interaction technology. It offers high friendliness and practicality, enhancing driving comfort. The four-zone interaction guarantees voice coverage throughout the cabin. It provides differentiated permissions and exclusive services based on user location. The Changan brand’s exclusive four-direction interaction achieves perfect sound recognition outside the vehicle. Users can chat with their car, creating a seamless connection. As Changan Jun Ge said, “Changan Smart Drive truly realizes multi-command voice recognition; just talk.” With advanced AI technology, the Qiyuan E07 supports multi-intent voice control, visible commands, and intelligent Q&A, providing a convenient and safe driving experience. The upgrade benefits are unique. The new test drive experience enhances car purchasing. Starting now, the Qiyuan E07 offers a new buying experience to ensure user peace of mind. Users can register on the Topspace App and pay just 9.9 yuan (0$) to receive a 1000 yuan (140$) customization fund, a 1000 yuan (140$) model discount voucher, and priority invitations for official events. Additionally, users can enjoy the new home test drive benefit. They can choose a test drive time from 9-13, 13-17, or 17-21. Upon successful booking, an excellent product expert will confirm test drive details within 30 minutes to ensure a smooth process. After the first test drive, users receive an additional 1000 yuan (140$) customization fund, showing the brand’s sincerity.
