The Chinese car manufacturer Changan has another subsidiary brand – the sixth in a row. Although the positioning is not entirely clear, Asians are expected to use it to promote hybrids and electric vehicles with the original design. We will probably also see some models in Russia.
Qiyuan with a logo similar to the number 101 was added to the company of Oshan, Lumin, Kaicene, Avatr and Shenlan brands. The first model was the A07 liftback and it is interesting that in size and technical “filling” it is very similar to the Shenlan SL03 presented a year ago. Both are based on the EPA1 “trolley”, the wheelbase is also similar – 2900 mm.
Only in appearance there are strong differences: Shenlan has aggressive body shapes, while Qiyuan is much calmer. So we can assume that a different brand was needed to separate the models in terms of design. European marketers would not approve of such a strategy, as it comes with a high cost, but specialists from China apparently received generous funding.
One way or another, Qiyuan A07 will go on sale in the fall. After that, he can come to us via parallel import. Suppose the first to appear is not an electric car, but a sequential hybrid. Under the hood of this version is a 1.5 liter petrol engine with an efficiency of 95 hp. with., intended only for charging the traction battery. The total power of the plant is 218 hp. Of.
