Exterior Design
The front face of the Changan Qiyuan A07 adopts a fully enclosed grille design, highlighting the unique identity of a new energy vehicle. The raised lines on the hood add a sense of power to the front face. The through-type light band on the front face stretches the visual width, making the whole vehicle look wider and more stable. The 32 small thick-wall turn signals on both sides have a novel shape, adding a sense of technology to the front face design.
On the side of the body, the fastback styling design makes the body lines smoother and enhances the vehicle's sporty character. Frameless doors are standard across the entire series, paired with ultra-wide chrome-plated window trim around the windows, further enhancing the aesthetic appeal. The doors adopt a 72-degree opening angle design, making it easier and more convenient to store and retrieve items and get in and out of the car. The addition of hidden door handles and 19-inch low-drag wheels greatly reduces the vehicle's wind resistance and wind noise, helping to improve the vehicle's energy efficiency and driving comfort. At the rear, the ducktail design adds a sporty feel to the rear end, and the through-type taillight group echoes the front face, forming a harmonious and unified visual effect.
Interior Configuration
The newly added ebony brown tone inside the new car is widely wrapped in soft materials. The A-pillars, B-pillars, and roof are wrapped in suede, supplemented by large-area wood-grain decorative panels, which enhances the premium feel of the interior and also brings a more delicate touch. The entire vehicle supports keyless entry, and all four doors are equipped with electric door-opening buttons, which not only enhances the vehicle's sense of luxury but also brings users a more convenient car-use experience.
The steering wheel adopts a leather multi-function design, bringing the driver a comfortable grip.

It supports remote system upgrade reservation via mobile phone and provides 6G of in-car data per month for navigation, music, and news, meeting daily travel needs. The vehicle also introduces 50-inch AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display technology, projecting driving information directly onto the windshield in front of the driver's field of vision, greatly improving driving safety and convenience.
In terms of sound effects, the interior of the new car is equipped with 16 high-quality speakers, including two sky channels located in the front row, jointly achieving 5.1.2 sky surround sound. Three-way frequency technology is adopted, so that high, middle, and low frequencies all deliver excellent performance. The sound effects are delicate and well-layered, providing occupants with an immersive auditory experience.

The Changan Qiyuan A07 adopts the innovative Smart New Blue Whale 3.0 power system, achieving significant progress in power output and range capability. Its extended-range version is specially equipped with the new-generation Changan New Blue Whale HE1.5NA dedicated engine. Combined with the advanced A-ECMS intelligent energy management system, it not only improves combustion efficiency but also reduces energy loss, enabling the engine to achieve a thermal efficiency of up to 43.31%, providing users with longer driving range and better fuel economy. Under CLTC conditions, fuel consumption per 100 km with depleted battery is only 3.94 liters.

Even when overtaking at high speed, it was more than capable, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of only 7.6 seconds. Thanks to the range extender's full-domain start-stop imperceptibility technology, the vehicle is almost silent when switching power modes. At idle, interior noise is as low as 37.9 decibels, and the difference in interior noise between the powered and unpowered states is negligible. In addition, the vehicle also adopts an innovative occupant motion sickness relief design, with precise steering, and the suspension system handles road bumps properly, providing passengers with a stable riding experience.
