With the continuous rise in oil prices, consumers' demand for new energy models is gradually increasing, especially hybrid models, which can not only take into account good power performance, but also have a lower level of fuel consumption, and at the same time do not have to worry about battery life, which is a good choice for many families. What I bring to you today is the new energy brand from Chang'an-Chang'an Qiyuan A05 (picture|configuration|inquiry). At present, this car has been on the market for a while, and the guide price starts at 78,900. So who exactly is it for? Let's take the 2024 Zhenxiang Edition 70 Leading Type priced at 78,900 as an example (hereinafter referred to as Changan Qiyuan A05) to analyze it in detail.
First look at the appearance, the appearance of the new car is more capable, the front face has a tough style, the headlight group is equipped with LED light source as standard, and the top model has an adaptive high and low beam function. At the same time, the daytime running lights, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment and other functions inside the headlight group are standard for the whole system, which is still relatively kind.
The side of the body adopts hidden door handles, and the high-end models have keyless entry for the main driver, and the exterior mirrors are electrically folded. The top trim is 18 inches, while the rest are 17 inches, and the tires are matched with 215/55 R17 tires.
Coming to the rear of the body, the whole series is not equipped with an electric tailgate, and the design style of the short tail is still relatively dynamic. On the whole, although the design of Changan Qiyuan A05 is not very fashionable, it is also a durable type and will not make you feel outdated.
Entering the car, Changan Qiyuan A05 adopts the popular dual-screen design, and the whole system is equipped with a 13.2-inch central control screen and a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel as standard. The display effect of the central control screen is clear, and the operation smoothness is also good. Built-in GPS navigation system, navigation traffic information display, Bluetooth/car phone and other functions. In addition, functions such as keyless start, remote start, automatic parking, hill assist, and mobile app remote control are also standard for the whole system, and the practicality is still good.
The steering wheel is relatively small in shape and wrapped in leather, which has a delicate feel and a full grip. In addition, it also supports four-way adjustment up and down, front and rear, which also helps the driver's ride comfort.
Let's take a look at the ride part, Changan Qiyuan A05 positioning compact car, its body length, width and height are 4785x1840x1460 mm, wheelbase length is 2765 mm, this size is considered to be the middle and upper reaches of the same level of models, and the interior space is also relatively spacious.
In terms of seats, Changan Qiyuan A05 adopts a hybrid style of imitation leather + fabric, the main driver's seat supports four-way adjustment of height and low, the passenger seat supports two-way adjustment of height and low, and the second-row seats have the function of backrest angle adjustment, which is no problem to meet basic household needs.
In terms of storage space, Changan Qiyuan A05's performance is also not bad, with storage slots in common locations such as front cup holders, glove boxes, armrest boxes, and glasses cases, which are very convenient for daily use.
In terms of power, Changan Qiyuan A05 is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine + permanent magnet synchronous single motor. Among them, the 1.5L engine has a maximum power of 81kw and a peak torque of 143Nm, and the engine can be filled with 92# gasoline. The electric motor has a maximum power of 140kW and a peak torque of 330Nm. The transmission part is mated to an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. The power response of this power combination is still relatively positive, and the official 000 acceleration result is 7.9 seconds, which is enough for a family car.
The chassis suspension tuning of the Changan Qiyuan A05 strikes a good balance between comfort and sportiness. In terms of driving experience, when dealing with bumpy roads, its chassis can effectively absorb shock and provide better riding comfort. At the same time, from the perspective of vehicle driving, the suspension system can provide good body support, reduce sway and roll, and give the driver high confidence when facing large curvature turns such as winding mountain roads. In addition, in terms of riding experience, the chassis shows a sporty texture that is neither too soft nor too hard when passing through undulating roads and continuous speed bumps, which is suitable for the needs of family cars.
In terms of chassis suspension, Changan Qiyuan A05 adopts a combination of front MacPherson / rear trailing arm torsion beam type non-independent suspension, and the tuning style is soft, which can effectively filter out most of the vibrations when passing through bumpy roads, and passengers in the car do not feel the obvious bumpy feeling. However, due to the rear suspension structure, there will be a slight roll phenomenon when passing through corners at high speeds, but in general, this suspension setting is more in line with the positioning of family cars.
In terms of battery life, Changan Qiyuan A05 is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 9.07 kWh, with a CLTC range of 70km, a WLTC range of 53km, and a slow charge that takes 3 hours to fully charge. As a plug-in hybrid model, the pure electric range can only meet the daily commuting use, and you still need to refuel if you drive long distances, but fortunately, the fuel consumption is not high in the feeding state, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 1.98L/100km.
Summary:
From the point of view of Changan Qiyuan A05's product strength, I think this is a new energy product that is biased towards pragmatism, although the appearance is not particularly outstanding, but it belongs to the durable type, the more you look at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye; The interior dual-screen design is in line with the mainstream aesthetics, and the configuration is also richer; Although the power is not strong, it is enough for daily use.
