When the price of BYD Qin PLUS changed from "998" to "798" at the beginning of this year, 80,000 yuan to buy a compact plug-in hybrid car has become a reality - but the dream of buying a compact plug-in hybrid SUV with a budget of 100,000 yuan still needs to be completed by another player - Changan Qiyuan Q05. Recently, Changan Qiyuan Q05 true fragrance version was officially launched at a price of 96,900-112,900 yuan, reducing the price threshold of plug-in hybrid SUV of this level to below 100,000 yuan, which is quite powerful, after all, Song PLUS DM-i of the same level, the starting price is 129,800 yuan, and Qiyuan Q05 first achieved a veritable "true fragrance" in price.
The middle door is against the sniper, although the price of Qiyuan Q05 is low, the electricity is stronger
Dare to snipe with star products like Song PLUS DM-i, Qiyuan Q05 naturally does not only rely on low-price drainage, but also has good strength and self-confidence. As far as the entry-level model is concerned, the guide price of Qiyuan Q05 Zhenxiang Edition 125 Pilot Type is 96,900 yuan, and the guide price of Song PLUS DM-i Glory Edition 71km luxury type is 129,800 yuan.
Under the same WLTC working conditions, the Qiyuan Q05 has a pure electric range of up to 95 km, while the Song PLUS DM-i has 55 km, which is only 58% of the former. For users who commute more than 20 kilometers each way, the Song PLUS DM-i is stretched thin if it only uses pure electric mode, and it may need to be charged twice a day or increase fuel consumption in case of traffic jams or hot summer weather. Kaizen Q05 can basically meet the needs of users for single-day pure electric commuting, so as to achieve zero fuel consumption, and who doesn't love a larger battery with longer battery life? Moreover, Kaizen Q05 has a shorter fast charging time, which can charge from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes, saving time for users and making it easier to replenish energy during travel.
In terms of power performance, the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Kaizen Q05 is only 7.3 seconds and the maximum speed can reach 180km/h, while the Song PLUS DM-i is 8.2 seconds and the maximum speed is 170km/h.
The price difference of 30,000 yuan is enough for Qiyuan Q05 to create a true fragrance image
In terms of other configurations, we can find that Qiyuan Q05 takes more into account the driver's feelings, such as sentry mode, 360-degree panoramic image, transparent chassis, sports style seats, octagonal-like racing-style steering wheel, etc., so that drivers can get a better sports cockpit atmosphere, parking is more relaxed and reassuring, and they can better monitor their own cars. Song PLUS DM-i does a better job in terms of passenger experience, such as front and rear head airbags, power tailgate, panoramic sunroof, rear privacy glass, rear seat backrest adjustment, rear armrest/cup holder, temperature zone control, in-car air quality monitoring, etc., which are not available in Kaizen Q05.
Of course, there are certain differences in the design style and body size of these two products, but as a compact plug-in hybrid SUV, Changan Qiyuan Q05 can be said to be the most careful competitor of Song PLUS DM-i at present, after all, in the market of about 100,000 yuan, the value-added experience is more able to impress consumers. Song PLUS DM-i's continued hot sales prove that this is a powerful product, but the arrival of Changan Qiyuan Q05 true fragrance version, cheaper than the opponent more than 30,000 yuan, the price threshold is reduced to less than 100,000 yuan, the pure electric battery life is longer, the acceleration is faster, and the charging is more efficient, so the cost performance will attract more and more consumers.
