This is Changan’s upcoming A05 plug-in hybrid sedan under its Qiyuan new energy vehicle brand. As the A05 continues to arrive at dealerships, it is likely to launch later this month. A pure electric version will also be available in the future.
In the front face, the closed grille combined with the slender headlights on both sides signify the car’s new energy vehicle identity. The Qiyuan logo is positioned at the center.
In the rear, the taillights are narrow and blackened, paired with hidden exhaust outlets. From the side, Qiyuan A05 adopts a fastback design along with the popular hidden door handles. The windows are decorated with a chrome strip.
Positioned as a mid-size sedan, Qiyuan A05 measures 4785/1840/1460mm, with a 2765mm wheelbase. Power comes from a 1.5L plug-in hybrid system, according to the Chinese MIIT.

At this time, the cruising ranges and detailed interior specifications have not been revealed by Changan, we’ll watch closely for more information.
But wait, what about the current Changan Yida? Is this model wholly renamed and separated into Qiyuan division or is it going to hold two names in the same time?
