What sets the Qiyuan A05 apart from its predecessor, the A07, is its use of plug-in hybrid power. This cutting-edge vehicle offers a driving range of up to 1,300 kilometers and comes with intelligent energy management features. It can autonomously optimize energy use, activate battery heating in cold weather, precisely regulate transmission oil temperature, and capture engine waste heat for greater efficiency.

The Qiyuan A05 also incorporates the iEM Smart Driving Management Mode, allowing the vehicle to adjust power output based on road conditions and smartly control regenerative braking intensity. It refines its energy and hybrid strategies by analyzing navigation route data.

In the intelligence arena, the Qiyuan A05 operates on the new CIIA 1.5 electrical architecture platform, which provides a fourfold boost in communication bandwidth compared to the 1.0 version. This allows the vehicle's infotainment system to function at high speeds. The car features an intelligent voice recognition system with a 95% accuracy rate, eliminating the need for a wake word and enabling quick execution of multiple commands.

Moreover, the vehicle comes equipped with iFlytek's OS 4.0 system, offering seamless integration of maps, music, voice-guided learning, children's content, and more. It also sports a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch high-definition touchscreen infotainment display, creating an expansive and interactive dual-screen user experience.

Changan Qiyuan is a cornerstone of Changan Automobile's new energy product range. The company aims to roll out ten new smart and connected electric vehicles worldwide by 2025.

Known for their range of "smart, connected, and evolved" products, advanced core technologies, user-friendly intelligent services, and continuous resource investment, they aim to achieve over 1.5 million unit sales by 2030.

The A07 has already received over 10,000 orders since its market introduction.

Fueled by its "Beidou Tianshu" and "Shangri-La" programs, Changan Automobile is making notable strides in both intelligent connectivity and new energy vehicle sectors, as demonstrated by its strong sales performance.

In September of this year, the company sold 236,808 units, marking a 9.93% growth year-over-year. Their total sales for the year have reached 1,869,608 units, showing an increase of 11.24% compared to the previous year.
