Last year in Chongqing, I tested the 2024 Changan Qiyuan A07. I found the model attractive in design, features, and intelligence. Now, in 2025, the domestic mid-to-large size sedan market for new energy vehicles is heating up. Users have higher demands for these models. To meet this situation, the new Changan Qiyuan A07 has arrived.
The Changan Qiyuan A07 new version offers both pure electric and range-extended models. It features six configurations: four pure electric and two range-extended. The pure electric models now have improved CLTC ranges of 525 km, 625 km, and 710 km. The range-extended model’s CLTC pure electric range has increased to 230 km, achieving a total range of 1,330 km with a full tank and battery. Additionally, the Changan Qiyuan A07 new version optimizes intelligence and ride comfort.
The mid-sized sedan combines sportiness with elegance. We experienced the 2025 Chang’an Qiyuan A07 Extended Range Premium Version 230. This sedan targets a specific user group. Its design avoids extravagance and radical elements. Instead, it features an elegant and smooth design. The design incorporates just enough sporty elements to enhance its dynamic and fashionable appeal.
The vehicle has a low and wide overall shape. This design gives the front a low center of gravity. Although it is a range-extended model, the front remains mostly closed. The lower bumper features a black, hidden intake grille that blends in well. The LED daytime running lights activate upon starting, providing high recognition. The black trim around the headlights extends back to the side skirts, adding a sense of flow.
The new car’s dimensions remain unchanged. It measures 4905 mm in length, 1910 mm in width, and 1480 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2900 mm. These dimensions place it in the top tier among its class. The elegant, streamlined shape features hidden door handles. The car boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.22 cd. The doors have a frameless design that enhances elegance when opened. The new car offers four body color options: Snow Peak White, Bamboo Green, Distant Mountain Purple, and Obsidian Black.
The rear design is simple. The LED taillights feature a red finish. When lit, their pattern echoes the front daytime running lights. The sloping roofline has a moderate angle. It ends with a small ducktail, neat and tidy. The hatchback opens easily. It reaches a maximum height of 1.8 meters from the ground. The opening is large, making it easy to grab items. The rear seatbacks fold flat completely, increasing storage space.
New Interior Theme and Optimized Rear Space The Changan Qiyuan A07 new fragrance edition shows little change in the cabin. It maintains a stylish and luxurious design. The overall craftsmanship and materials are impressive. A new ebony brown interior theme enhances the space. It combines the natural hue of ebony with warm and stable brown tones, showcasing natural luxury. Additionally, it offers three other interior color options: light cloud gray, dusk black, and scarlet red.
The central armrest has a semi-open design. Its front slightly tilts upward. This design includes a wireless charging panel for phones. The semi-open style increases storage space below. It makes retrieving items easy. The cabin features multi-color ambient lighting. Hidden air vents maintain the unity and aesthetics of the center console.
The 15.4-inch display features a 2.5K resolution and ultra-narrow bezels. It offers excellent visuals and operation. The 2560X1600 ultra-high definition provides 85% NTSC color gamut and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. The display shows rich, detailed images, ensuring visibility in bright light. The 120Hz touch refresh rate, combined with the 8155 automotive chip, ensures responsive and smooth operation.
The car system operates intuitively and simply. Users can tap on visible options. The left side of the screen has adjustable tabs based on personal habits. The system includes a variety of apps and features smart voice control. It supports multiple voice zones and continuous dialogue. Users can issue several commands in one sentence. The system responds quickly to multiple instructions. Unique voice recognition technology greatly improves accuracy, even for ambiguous meanings. With the exterior voice control system, users can open the trunk hands-free. In hot weather, they can turn on the air conditioning before entering the car. This system uses voiceprint recognition for exclusive unlocking. Only authorized users can operate it, ensuring safety.
The 50-inch AR-HUD displays real-time navigation. It perceives distances up to 7.5 meters and covers 1.5 lanes ahead. The new Autohold icon triggers automatically at traffic lights. It reminds you to release the brake without worrying about rolling back. The HUD now shows real-time countdowns for traffic lights. It also features an enlarged view for complex intersections. You can adjust the height and customize the display. Options include song lyrics, battery level, fuel level, and Bluetooth calls.
The front seats offer electric adjustment, ventilation, and heating. The top model includes a multi-point massage feature. The rear seats provide improved comfort. The padding is softer than the previous version. The seat cushion length has increased. A tester, 176 cm tall, found the rear seat cushion supports the thighs well. There is ample head and knee space.
CLTC improves electric range. The extended range model features the latest Changan Blue Whale HE1.5NA engine. It uses the advanced A-ECMS smart energy consumption algorithm and several leading systems. These enhancements boost combustion efficiency and reduce power loss. The production engine achieves a thermal efficiency of 43.31%. Fuel consumption drops to 3.94L per 100 kilometers. It saves fuel no matter how you drive.
The extended-range model delivers 160 kW of motor output. It achieves a maximum torque of 320 N·m. The vehicle features a seamless energy recovery system and a CST comfort parking system that prevents nodding during stops. It intelligently matches energy recovery strength while driving, ensuring a smooth, impact-free experience. The rear H-arm multi-link independent suspension and rear-wheel drive enhance driving pleasure and stability.
Upgrade the 3C fast charging. It can provide 3.3kW external discharge. This meets all power needs for outdoor activities, camping, and travel. It powers small refrigerators, portable induction cookers, small ovens, mini projectors, and tent lights. The extended-range vehicle can also use fuel to recharge while parked. This turns the vehicle into a generator for long-term power needs inside the car.
The entire series features the L2+ level IACC intelligent navigation system. It upgrades the front camera to 800W pixels. This improves recognition distance and accuracy. The system enhances driving stability, comfort, and safety in various road conditions. It also includes the APA advanced intelligent parking system. Additionally, it offers a 50-meter tracking reverse function and an app for remote parking control.
Summary: The new Changan Qiyuan A07 True Fragrance Edition enhances cabin intelligence, driving quality, and range while retaining the original model’s advantages. The upgrades boost the car’s competitiveness. It clearly outperforms both its predecessor and rivals in the same class. The new model is now available at dealerships.
