2026 Changan Qiyuan Q06: 800V Fastback SUV With Up to 442 hp and Up to 700 km Range

The 2026 Changan Qiyuan Q06 is the newest mid-size SUV from Changan's Qiyuan sub-brand (marketed internationally as Nevo), built on the automaker's SDA Tianshu digital architecture. Unveiled on July 15, 2026 ahead of a September on-sale date in China, the Q06 slots between the smaller Q05 and the larger Q07 in the lineup, wearing a sloping "fastback" SUV roofline and a full-width light bar front and rear. It is offered with a choice of four battery-electric power outputs plus a range-extended (EREV) option, all on an 800V silicon-carbide platform with 6C ultra-fast charging and standard roof-mounted LiDAR. Changan has not confirmed final pricing, but Chinese media consistently peg the Q06 into the RMB 120,000–200,000 (roughly $17,000–$28,000) new-energy SUV bracket, aiming squarely at value-focused buyers who still want flagship driver-assist hardware. The flagship dual-motor variant headlines the range with 442 hp and a 700 km CLTC rating.

Performance & Specs

The Qiyuan Q06 lineup opens with three single rear-motor BEV outputs — 210 kW (282 hp), 225 kW (302 hp), and 245 kW (329 hp) — before topping out with a dual rear-motor flagship rated at a combined 330 kW (442 hp). Unusually, that top trim keeps power routed exclusively to the rear axle through two motors rather than adopting true all-wheel drive, a "distributed rear-drive" layout Changan says improves traction and torque vectoring without the weight of a front motor. Changan quotes a 4.9-second 0-100 km/h time and a 230 km/h top speed for the dual-motor flagship, while the single-motor versions top out between 200 and 230 km/h depending on output. A separate EREV variant (badged Q06 R) pairs dual 135 kW rear motors, for a combined 270 kW (362 hp), with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine acting purely as a generator. All trims ride on an aluminum-intensive front double-wishbone and rear five-link suspension, which Changan calls a segment-first for this price class.

Dimensions & Practicality

Height	1,670 mm
Wheelbase	2,940 mm
Curb weight	1,930-2,060 kg

Despite the sloping fastback roofline, Changan says the Q06's cabin achieves 91.7% space utilization thanks to a flat rear floor and a long 2,940 mm wheelbase. The rear bench gets its own roof-mounted display in some trims, and the front passenger seat includes a leg rest with a reclining "zero-gravity" mode. Cargo space is rated at 782 liters behind the rear seats, expanding to 2,199 liters with them folded, and a 196-liter front trunk adds extra storage since the rear motors free up the nose. Wheel sizes range from 19 to 21 inches depending on trim, riding on 245-section tires throughout.

Charging & Battery

Every Qiyuan Q06 rides on an 800V silicon-carbide electrical architecture paired with 6C-capable LFP battery packs sourced from CATL and Gotion High-Tech. Battery capacity climbs with each BEV output level — 63.18 kWh (540 km CLTC) on the base 210 kW trim, 66.02 kWh (570 km) on the 225 kW trim, 72.54 kWh (610 km) on the 245 kW trim, and 80.02 kWh (700 km) on the dual-motor flagship. Chinese outlets report 30-80% DC top-ups in as little as 9-12 minutes on the 6C-rated packs, among the fastest charging speeds in the RMB 200,000 SUV class. The EREV variant uses a much smaller 28.39 kWh LFP pack, good for roughly 150 km of pure-EV driving before the 1.5-liter range extender engine kicks in as a generator; Changan has not yet disclosed the EREV's total combined range.

Design & Interior

The Q06's exterior follows the sloped "coupe-SUV" silhouette that's become common among Chinese mid-size electrics, with a slim full-width light bar up front, flush door handles, and a similarly slim light bar bridging the taillights out back. Chinese reviewers have compared its proportions to the Xiaomi SU7 sedan, though the Q06 sits taller and is pitched at a noticeably lower price point. Inside, showroom cars photographed at the July debut show a driver's binnacle screen, a floating center touchscreen, and a separate widescreen digital instrument display ahead of the driver showing tire pressures and remaining range. The center console keeps a rotary drive-mode dial and physical climate shortcuts below the main screen, and Changan has shown at least one two-tone off-white and purple cabin option alongside more conventional dark and light gray finishes. Seats are upholstered in a mix of fabric and leatherette depending on trim, with the front passenger getting the extending leg rest mentioned above.

Technology & Features

The headline tech story is Changan's Tianshu Pilot Ultra assisted-driving suite, built around a roof-mounted LiDAR unit that Changan says is standard across every Q06 trim rather than reserved for a flagship configuration. The system is rated to handle 185 distinct driving scenarios, including highway and urban navigate-on-autopilot and automated parking, and Changan says the underlying SDA Tianshu software stack has logged more than 5 million kilometers of real-world testing in and around Chongqing. The dual-screen cockpit layout carries a floating center touchscreen for infotainment alongside a separate digital instrument cluster, and the rear-seat roof display seen on higher trims suggests at least one entertainment-focused rear-seat package.

Safety & ADAS

Because LiDAR ships standard on every trim rather than as a paid option, the Q06's ADAS suite is more consistent across the lineup than most rivals in its price bracket. The Tianshu Pilot Ultra system layers highway and urban navigate-on-autopilot with automated parking on top of the standard camera and radar sensor set, and Changan is positioning the segment-first aluminum double-wishbone front and five-link rear suspension as both a ride-quality and stability advantage. Full crash-test ratings had not been published as of this writing, ahead of the car's September 2026 on-sale date.

ADAS FEATURES	Standard LiDAR, highway NOA, urban NOA, automated parking

Pricing & Availability

Changan unveiled the production Qiyuan Q06 on July 15, 2026 and plans an official on-sale date in September 2026, but has not yet released confirmed pricing for any trim. Chinese outlets consistently report pre-sale chatter in the RMB 120,000-150,000 range (roughly $17,000-$21,000) for the entry single-motor trim, with the range-topping dual-motor flagship expected to approach RMB 200,000 (roughly $28,000). As of August 2026, the Q06 is confirmed only for the Chinese domestic market. Changan's Qiyuan/Nevo brand already exports the smaller Q05 SUV and A06 sedan to markets including Thailand, but no export timeline or pricing has been announced specifically for the Q06.

How It Compares

If the rumored pricing holds, the Qiyuan Q06's entry trim would undercut the XPENG G6, BYD Song Ultra EV, and its own Changan stablemate the Deepal S07 by several thousand dollars while still offering standard LiDAR that none of those three include at their base price. The G6 and Song Ultra EV both trail the Q06's flagship 700 km CLTC range, and neither pairs a dual-motor output with an 800V/6C charging architecture at anywhere near the Q06's rumored starting point. The Deepal S07 remains the closer in-house comparison for range-extender shoppers, since it already offers a proven 1,100 km EREV total range from the same corporate family the Q06 R variant will join. None of this is settled until Changan confirms actual pricing at the September 2026 launch, but on paper the Q06 is positioned to undercut its nearest same-segment rivals on spec-per-dollar.
