A long, long time ago, a satellite TV variety show created the popular word "true fragrance", and then netizens also derived "True Fragrance Law": When the function and price of a product reach a certain balance point, it will be difficult for users to refuse.
In the environment of volume upgrade in 2024, Changan Qiyuan A05 (picture | configuration | inquiry)/Q05 launched a true fragrance version of the model to further adapt to the market rhythm. This time, Changan Qiyuan's sincerity is really not small, about the two real fragrance version of the model, the official put forward the "90,000-level twin electric hybrid long battery life" Slogan, friends who understand the price of new energy vehicles should be able to feel this strength.
On April 12, Changan Qiyuan A05 True Fragrance Edition/Q05 True Fragrance Edition was officially launched, and the numbers in the two model versions represent the CLTC pure electric range, of which the A05 True Fragrance Edition contains two endurance versions of 70/145km, with a total of 5 models and a guide price of 78,900-109,900 yuan, and the Q05 True Fragrance Edition has launched a total of 3 models, with a CLTC range of 125km and a guide price of 96,900-112,900 yuan.
Judging from the pricing, the official 90,000 level is actually a little modest. The new car does not start at 90,000 yuan, in fact, the starting price of the Qiyuan A05 True Fragrance Edition is only 78,900 yuan. If you change to an unkind car company, it is not impossible to call a 70,000-level, in fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the automotive industry.
Whether a new car is really fragrant or not, as mentioned at the beginning, is determined by two factors, one is the price, and the other is the product power. For the two long-range A-class hybrid models, the price of "90,000 yuan" may have initially made people have the urge to look at the picture and order, so it is necessary for us to use more space to introduce the two real fragrance models in detail.

The length, width and height of the Kaizen A05 are 4785/1840/1460mm, and the wheelbase is 2765mm.
Kaizen A05 adopts the shape design of the new generation of the Changan family, although it does not use special colors and logos to indicate its identity, but only the design of the inductive lamp group can also show the identity of the new energy model. The body lines of the new car are smooth and concise, whether it is according to the standards of traditional fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, Qiyuan A05 can get rid of the sense of cheapness.
Kaizen A05 True Fragrance Edition is equipped with a set of high-efficiency hybrid system, which is officially defined as a twin electric hybrid, which means that it supports both extended range mode and plug-in hybrid mode.

The different versions are available with both high and low power drive motors, with a maximum output of 140 kW and 158 kW.

Nowadays, traditional car brands like to incubate new product sequences or brands to form a "combination punch". Chang'an Qiyuan is also one of them, and soon launched Qiyuan A07/A05/Q05, which initially formed a small matrix.
There is a consensus in the automotive industry that SUVs of the same specification are naturally half a level higher than sedans, and the price will be slightly more expensive. However, when the guide price comes to 96,900-112,900 yuan, the Qiyuan Q05 true fragrance version is almost the same price as the A05 medium and high configuration version, and naturally the configuration level of the entry version of the Q05 true fragrance version is also equivalent to the middle configuration of the A05.
The length, width and height of the Changan Qiyuan Q05 True Fragrance Edition are 4539/1865/1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2656mm.
In terms of power, the Qiyuan Q05 True Fragrance Edition is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5L engine and an electric motor, which also supports plug-in hybrid mode and extended range mode, in which the maximum power of the motor is 158kW and the maximum torque is 330Nm.

Is it "really fragrant"?
The brand name of Chang'an Qiyuan can be divided into two parts. Kaizen represents a new brand and a new concept, while Changan represents a large manufacturer with profound accumulation, which is also one of the important sources of product strength.
Changan Qiyuan A05/Q05 has the level of three electric parameters of hybrid models above 150,000 levels, whether it is a comprehensive maximum cruising range of more than 1,000 kilometers, a pure electric range of more than 100 kilometers, or a comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers of A05 less than 1L/100km, these parameters are enough hardcore.
What's more, the price of the new twin cars has hit the price band of what was once a pure electric mini car. Regardless of whether the two models can meet everyone's needs and aesthetics, I believe it is difficult for everyone to say that the price and this level of models are not fragrant.
The twin power repeatedly mentioned above comes from the "Changan Qiyuan Digital Intelligence AI Electric Drive". The system is one of the important new energy power types under Changan Automobile's new Blue Whale power platform, with a number of core technologies such as iEM high-end intelligent power control system, quad-core script computing power motor controller, and 10-layer flat wire motor.
In plug-in hybrid mode, the system delivers strong power output, while range extender mode provides better comfort and the driving experience of an all-electric vehicle, making it more "inductive" during daily city commutes (in terms of smoother power and faster response).
Digital Intelligence AI Electric Drive 2.0 also introduces AI algorithms, and the navigation system can plan the whole process according to the destination, and at the same time reasonably allocate energy consumption, adopting the energy distribution of more oil in smooth road sections and more electricity in low-speed road sections, which is of great benefit to the improvement of driving experience and the maintenance of economy.
In addition, through the accumulation of data, the digital AI electric drive 2.0 can also achieve continuous evolution, so that the hybrid system can work more intelligently.
On the market, there are not a few models similar to the Kaizen A05/Q05, and there are not many competing products with the same long range and efficient hybrid system. With the blowout development of domestic hybrid technology, the traditional fuel A-class joint venture car is declining in a significant trend, and whether it is BYD, the current leader in the field of new energy, or Changan Qiyuan, which is seizing a place, are the driving force behind the gradual "greening" of the A-class car market.
After the price drops further, the 90,000-level Qiyuan A05/Q05 has a certain competitiveness, which is really a good choice for friends who buy people-friendly and practical new energy vehicles.
