The Qiyuan A07 Zhenxiang Edition model was officially launched on March 6, with a total of 3 models and a price range of 135,900-159,900 yuan. Compared with the old model, what are the changes of the 2024 Kaizen A07 True Fragrance Edition? How to choose the 3 configuration models?
First, the model description
In terms of appearance, the new car has not changed much, and still continues the family-style design, with a simple front and a streamlined body with a more beautiful visual effect. The through-light cluster is equipped with an LED light source, which is highly recognizable and has a stronger illumination effect. The front of the car has a semi-closed front grille, and the area below the front end has an actively closed grille.
On the side of the body, the whole vehicle appears fuller, making the whole vehicle more coordinated. It is worth mentioning that the new car is still equipped with the current mainstream hidden door handles, highlighting its identity as a new energy model. The rear of the vehicle has a stronger sense of hierarchy and is still equipped with continuous taillights to form a higher recognition.
Wheels are available in 18-inch and 19-inch wheels, with 225/55 R18 tyres available for the entry-level variant but 245/45 R19 tyres for the mid-range variant and 245/45 R19 tyres for the mid-to-high-spec variant.
In terms of body color, the new car is available in five exterior colors, including Snow Peak White, Xiuzhu Green, Yuanshan Purple, Obsidian Black, and Matte Xiuzhu Green. Among them, the three colors of Snow Peak White, Matte Bamboo Green and Obsidian Black are more in line with the popular aesthetics, and the matte Bamboo Green is the color recommended for the new car owners.
As for the interior, the 2024 Kaizen A07 True Fragrance Edition adopts a wrap-around cockpit design and is equipped with a two-tone interior to create a simple and capable texture. The layered instrument panel with wood grain trim gives the interior a more luxurious feel. In addition, the 15.4-inch central display also provides a more comprehensive information display.
In terms of power, the 2024 Qiyuan A07 True Fragrance Edition is a pure electric version of the model, equipped with a rear-mounted single motor. The 515 Elite and 515 Premium motors have a total power of 190kW and a total torque of 320Nm. The 710 flagship model has a total motor power of 160 kW and a total motor torque of 320 Nm. The 515 Elite and 515 Premium have a CLTC electric range of 515 km, while the 710 Flagship has a CLTC electric range of 710 km.
2. Highlights and recommendations of model configuration
The entry-level model of the 2024 Kaizen A07 True Fragrance Edition is the 515 Elite model, and although the price is less than 140,000 yuan, it performs reasonably in terms of lighting, multimedia, air conditioning and seats with high frequency of daily use. The disadvantage is that there is a lack of comfort configuration, which is inferior to the mid-range model, and may not be very friendly to consumers who pursue a comfortable car experience, so it is not recommended.
3. Analysis of the difference in the configuration of recommended models
In contrast, Xiaobian recommends the 710 flagship model priced at 159,900 yuan, which is the top model of the whole series. From the perspective of equipment, the recommended model has added more comfort and practical equipment than the entry-level model. For example: AR real-world navigation, electric suction doors, facial recognition, voice wake-up words, etc., although the price has risen by 24,000 yuan, it is definitely worth the price. Compared with the lower level of 515 prestige, although the configuration is basically the same, the cruising range has been significantly improved, and it is also very cost-effective to spend an extra 10,000 yuan for this, after all, the core indicator of pure electric vehicles is the cruising range.
Therefore, from the perspective of price factors and configuration practicability, the 710 flagship model has the best cost-effective performance among all models, and it is recommended to give priority to the 2024 Qiyuan A07 True Fragrance Edition.
