Not long ago, the Changan Qiyuan Q05 model has started pre-sales, priced at 129,900 yuan. rise. Today we are going to test drive this new car, and we will also test drive another blockbuster model, which is the Changan Qiyuan A06 , a fashionable hybrid coupe that focuses on sports. Let’s take a look at the characteristics of these two cars. How is the performance?
Changan Qiyuan Q05 appearance
Changan Qiyuan Q05 is a hybrid SUV model. The exterior design of the car adopts a family-style design language, and the fully enclosed grille is also very representative.The new car does not use a through-type headlight group shape, but uses a split shape layout, and daytime running light strips are set up at the headlight group and the front bumper side air vents, which is still very recognizable.
The length, width and height of the new car are 4539x1865x1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2656mm. It is defined as a compact SUV.The lines on the side of the car are still very powerful, especially the front and rear fenders.However, as a model mainly for home use, the vehicle does not use a suspended roof or fastback style, which is still more in line with the aesthetic perception of mass consumers.
As a new energy model, Changan Qiyuan Q05 uses 19-inch low-wind resistance cyclone wheel shape, which still looks very futuristic and technological. At the same time, the tires use 225/55 R19 Chaoyang tires, which can effectively balance Vehicle passability and driving comfort.The door handle does not use a hidden design, but still retains the traditional door handle shape.
The design of the rear part of the car also reflects the steady and grand side of the car. The taillight group also does not use a through-type design, but adopts a more personalized transparent lampshade shape, which is also highly recognizable after lighting up.Changan Qiyuan's car logo is placed in the middle of the taillight group, but it cannot light up with the car lights.
The aircraft-style tail is also the iconic design of Changan family SUV models, and it has also been retained on the Changan Qiyuan Q05.In addition, the rear bumper of the new car is also designed with a very layered feel. Different lines and sections create a diverse three-dimensional sense of space. The center-mounted rear fog lamp is also another manifestation of the personalized design of this model.

The new car also adopts a family-style design style and makes good use of the flat design language, using different lines, shapes and spatial staggering to make the entire front of the car visually wider. It looks wider, and at the same time, a low-lying sporty style is fully reflected.
The new car will adopt a through-type light group design, and the middle light strip contains jagged embellishments, which still looks very fierce.The headlight group adopts a flat shape as a whole, and the raised corners are very sharp and sporty.The borderless grille also has a sense of future technology. While ensuring sufficient air intake, it also indirectly enhances the vehicle's personalized style.
The side of the new car adopts a more sporty fastback shape. The lines of the whole car are very streamlined, especially the rear part of the car, which is well connected with the taillight group, giving people a feeling of blood.The new car will use a hidden door handle design, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance coefficient.
Changan Qiyuan A06 will be equipped with double five-spoke 18-inch wheels, and the color contrast will be used to make it look more three-dimensional.It is matched with Continental's 235/45 R18 tires, which are also the tire model used by many friends who like to play cars. It can be seen that this car also perfectly combines home use and sports.
I like the design of the rear part of the car very much, especially the through-type taillight group, which looks very sporty and domineering. Under the transparent lampshade is a red light strip, coupled with black embellishments, making it full of sporty qualities.In addition, the taillight set also has the same zigzag decoration as the headlight set, and the front and rear echoes are still very good.
In order to reflect the sporty style, Changan Qiyuan A06 is also equipped with an electric rear wing, which can be opened manually or automatically according to the vehicle speed or driving mode.The new car will also be equipped with a dual center-mounted exhaust shape. Although it is only a decorative effect, it still feels very good.In addition, the rear bumper is also decorated with carbon fiber, and the overall look does have a coupe style.

In terms of interior design, Changan Qiyuan Q05 uses an asymmetric design. All screens, buttons, etc. are biased towards the driver's side, making it easier for the driver to control the vehicle.In terms of materials, the new car also uses a lot of soft materials. Everything that can be touched by the hand is soft, and the feeling of luxury is relatively high.
The new car will use a D-shaped steering wheel, and the upper position will be lower, making it easier for the driver to observe the instrument panel, and also to facilitate the work of the visual recognition system.The steering wheel uses traditional push-button multi-function buttons, which are very simple and easy to understand, and can be operated blindly after a little familiarity.
The information displayed on the LCD instrument panel is relatively comprehensive, and the menu on the right can choose to display driving information, alarm information and the initial interface.The instrument panel of the model we tested today does not support the display of panoramic map information, but the display of the smart driving system is still very comprehensive.
The central control screen can support online navigation, mobile phone interconnection, voice interaction, APP downloads, OTA upgrades, etc., and can also select the vehicle's drive mode, driving mode, kinetic energy recovery intensity, etc. through the screen.The car can also support automatic parking functions, which are also operated through the screen.
Below the screen is a quick adjustment panel for the air conditioner, and it uses a touch panel design, which has a very high sense of technology.Changan Qiyuan Q05 will use an electronic gear lever, which has a very good feel and shape.Behind the gear handle are the driving mode switching knob and automatic parking switches, which are really easy to use.
The comfort of the new car's seats is indeed very good, and it can support functions such as electric adjustment and seat heating.The seat adopts an integrated design, and the support for the waist side wings, shoulder side wings and leg side wings is also very good. Even when driving or riding for a long time, you will not feel very tired.
The cushions of the rear seats are also soft, and the angle of the backrest is also very ergonomic, which can meet the needs of more consumers.We are also very satisfied with the seating space in the rear of the new car. Whether it is headroom or legroom, the performance is also very good, ensuring the comfort of passengers even if they ride for a long time.
Changan Qiyuan A06
The interior of Changan Qiyuan A06 also adopts a family-style design style. The asymmetric layout really makes the interior look more personalized, which is also very in line with the aesthetic needs of young consumers.The same as the Changan Qiyuan Q05, this car also uses a D-shaped steering wheel design, and the button layout is also the same.
It is worth mentioning that the instrument panel of Changan Qiyuan A06 is very sporty. In addition to the conventional display screen in the middle, two other small screens are added on both sides to display time, temperature, battery life and air conditioning. information.In addition, when we switch to track mode, the middle position of the instrument panel will also change accordingly, and the vehicle's acceleration, speed, torque and other information will be displayed, which is very racing style.
The configuration and display information of the central control screen are the same as those of Changan Qiyuan Q05, and the interface design is also simple and easy to understand. The only difference is that there is an additional function in the dashboard of Changan Qiyuan A06, which is "Super "Sound Wave" simulation software, when opened, can simulate the acceleration and deceleration sounds of a supercar, and the auditory effect is still very shocking.
Both Changan Qiyuan A06 and Changan Qiyuan Q05 are equipped with 4 major scenarios, including long-distance mode, mountain mode, parking charging and emergency mode.Long-distance mode can intelligently switch between gasoline and electricity to achieve the optimal choice; mountain mode can accurately control the complementary strategy of gasoline and electricity; parking charging is more suitable for camping, and the charging speed is adjustable in three levels; emergency mode is used when there is a shortage of fuel. It can ensure an extra 10-15km of driving when the battery is low, thereby coping with crises.
At the bottom of the screen is the shortcut control button for the air conditioner, which can quickly activate commonly used air conditioner functions.In addition, there is a "SUPER RACE" track mode button on the far left. Press it to directly activate the track mode. Next to it is a button to open and close the electric rear wing, allowing the driver to quickly operate it.
Changan Qiyuan A06 also uses a yacht-style electronic gear lever, and the rear position is equipped with a chrome-plated button and a driving mode switching knob, which can quickly activate functions such as panoramic images.The feel of the knob is still very good, the operation is smooth enough, and the switching speed is quite satisfactory to us.
The seats of the new car also adopt an integrated layout, but their color is the same as the interior, and the overall usable area is larger.The comfort level of the seat is still very high. In addition, this car focuses on sports attributes, so the support and wrapping of the seat are very excellent, and the driver can be very close even during intense driving. Good fixation in the seat.
The overall performance of the rear seats is commendable, but because of the fastback design, the angle of the backrest is a bit biased towards a right angle, and the headroom is not as spacious as in an SUV, but fortunately the legroom is The internal space is quite excellent and can be ranked among the best in the same level.
Both cars use hybrid drive. The 1.5L engine is paired with a single motor. The engine has a maximum output power of 81kW and a torque of 143N·m; the motor has a maximum power of 158kW and a peak torque of 330N·m.Then we will drive these two machines on the road and in the venue respectively to feel how they perform.
Changan Qiyuan Q05 driving experience
As a hybrid SUV model, Changan Qiyuan Q05's acceleration time from zero to 0-60 seconds is only 7.3 seconds, which we did not expect at all.When we drove this car, whether it was in pure electric mode or smart mode, its acceleration performance was very good, and the acceleration process was very linear, there were no abrupt situations, and even if the engine intervened, the inside of the car It doesn’t feel too big either.
Because of the use of front and rear independent suspension, when the vehicle passes through speed bumps or bumpy roads, the suspension can very effectively absorb the vibrations caused by the road surface, and the suspension is adjusted for comfort, even when passing quickly When going through speed bumps, there was no feeling of jumping in the car, and the ride was indeed very satisfying.
In terms of quietness, when the vehicle speed is below 80km/h, there is no tire noise, road noise or wind noise in the Changan Qiyuan Q05.However, when the vehicle speed increases to more than 100km/h, there will be more obvious wind noise in the car. Tire noise and road noise, including engine noise, are indeed well controlled.
In terms of control, I am personally very satisfied with the performance of the new car, because the steering wheel is very light and very comfortable during continuous rotation. Even a woman can operate it with one hand.The D-shaped steering wheel may require a little familiarity with the feel, but it will be easier to use once you get used to it.
In terms of smart driving, Changan Qiyuan Q05's performance is also outstanding. The IACC integrated adaptive cruise is very easy to use. This function also integrates ACC adaptive cruise, lane centering, intelligent speed limit, intelligent offset, automatic deceleration and cornering, Functions such as car following and cruising.What I want to talk about is automatic deceleration and cornering. The system can intelligently control the vehicle speed based on navigation and actual road conditions, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle while driving.
As an SUV model, its climbing ability is also very important.Changan Qiyuan Q05 is also very confident when facing a 30° slope. It can easily climb to the top of the slope using any driving mode of the whole car, and it can also achieve mid-hill climb. This ability to get out of trouble is also worthy of praise. .
Changan Qiyuan A06 driving experience
Changan Qiyuan A06 is a sports-oriented model, so the acceleration and braking adjustments of this car are more aggressive.When we start off, the throttle response will be very rapid, and the acceleration of the vehicle is also very direct. It feels like we can feel the joy of ejection and starting at all times.
In terms of braking, the brakes of the Changan Qiyuan A06 are also very sensitive, and they will "nod" with a little force, which also shows that its braking effect is very good.In addition to braking, the car also has multi-level kinetic energy recovery adjustment options, which we can also adjust according to our own driving habits.
The rear wing of the car is also very playable. We can manually switch it on and off when driving the vehicle. At the same time, when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the rear wing will also open automatically.When we switch to track mode, the rear wing is automatically opened, and the instrument panel and central control screen will switch screens, using red and orange that are more representative of sports to increase the sporty elements of the vehicle.
Now that there is a track mode, it would be a pity not to go to the racing venue. We also drove the Changan Qiyuan A06 into the venue to feel the performance of this car at the extreme limit.The official zero-to-100 acceleration time is 6.9 seconds. After actually experiencing it, we felt that this time was very real, and there was a strong back-pushing feeling in the car, which made us excited immediately.
In corners, the performance of the Changan Qiyuan A06 is also remarkable. Whether it is a continuous S-turn or a small elk test, this car can grip the ground very steadily, and the steering wheel control is also precise enough. And the feedback strength has also been increased, thereby improving driving safety.
When cornering at high speed for a long time, the vehicle will not push its head. At the same time, the vehicle can well suppress the occurrence of roll. Even when passing the pile winding test at 60km/h, the occupants in the car can easily Sitting firmly on the seat is enough to show that this car takes sports seriously.
