Qiyuan Changan Qiyuan A05 -Hybrid PHEV

【Space Performance】
I am 180cm tall. After adjusting to a comfortable driving position, I personally experienced the space behind the driver's seat. There was approximately one punch of legroom and also one punch of headroom. People shorter than me would have more legroom. However, I later bought a lumbar support, so I had to adjust my seat back a bit, which made the space behind the driver's seat even narrower. Overall, the space is quite acceptable.

【Range and Energy Consumption】
The fuel consumption is relatively high when the battery is low, basically around 4.5 to 5.0 liters per 100 kilometers. With electricity, it is basically below 4.0 liters per 100 kilometers. The pure electric range is also okay. Maybe the temperature in Guangdong is not too low; even in weather around 10 degrees, the range doesn't drop significantly. My daily commute to work is 5 kilometers one way, and the indicated pure electric range decreases by about 5 kilometers. If I accelerate more aggressively, it decreases by an additional 1-2 kilometers. Overall, the performance is okay.

【Charging Time】
For fast charging, it takes about an hour to charge from 25% to 100%. For slow charging, it takes about 6 hours. I have only tried slow charging once, using the portable charger with 3.5kW. If using a 7kW charger, it might be faster.

I've already driven 10,000 kilometers without realizing it. I picked it up in December 2024, and it's been half a year.

Let's start with buying the car. My family originally had an old car, which was already in such bad shape that it couldn't get any worse. We considered buying a new car. Since the old one was a sedan, we naturally leaned towards sedans and didn't consider SUVs. I originally thought about a fuel-powered car because fuel car prices had dropped a lot. My family said new energy vehicles were also good. I was initially worried about being a guinea pig, but since they exist, there must be a reason. In the end, I decided to choose a new energy vehicle. I didn't look at many cars. At that time, I pre-selected Yida, Lavida, Geely, and the Qiyuan A05 on the Dongchedi APP (later I found the Haima 06 was also quite nice). For the above reasons, I didn't go see fuel-powered cars and wanted to choose between Geely and Qiyuan. I went to the local Geely 4S store twice but didn't see the car in stock. I felt like we weren't destined, and since my family already had a Geely, I stopped considering it and directly chose the Qiyuan A05. I visited two 4S stores and was finally打动 by a sincere young salesman, deciding to buy it there.

Speaking of feelings, first, the unsatisfactory part is the ambient light. When I went to see the car, there were no 2025 models in stock; all I saw were 2024 models. The 99,900 yuan 2024 model had a more advanced ambient light that spanned the entire instrument panel. In the end, they said there were no 2024 models in stock and asked us to order the 2025 model, but they didn't mention that the 2025 model's ambient light is quite useless, only under the feet. Also, the auxiliary lights on the outside of the 2024 model looked pretty cool, and I thought the 2025 model would have them too, but it didn't.另外这车像网上说的隔音一般，毕竟价格摆在那里，我自己加装了隔音条，感觉可以接受。

In terms of actual range, it's roughly halved in winter, and can reach over 110 kilometers in summer.

Then there are the advantages of this car: undoubtedly, the appearance. It's young, handsome, has a sense of class, has high configuration, and the price is reasonable. Maybe it's because I haven't driven many cars, but I give this car a 9.5 out of 10.

Advantages: The 2025 Qiyuan A05 has added a through-type taillight and changed to traditional door handles, which has greatly increased practicality. Disadvantages: Compared with the 2024 model, the side lights are missing, which is a minus. In addition, the model is an oil-to-electric vehicle. The battery pack is located at the lowest point of the entire vehicle, and the fuel tank is located at the rear. Interior functions:
Advantages: The 2025 model has improved over the 2024 model with a commendable column-mounted shifter, increased center console storage space, and added physical air conditioning buttons. The central control screen is large in size, and the second-lowest configuration is equipped with 360-degree panoramic image, electric driver's seat, and a small sunroof. Compared with models of the same level, the added functions are more practical. The interior workmanship is fine, the seams are neat, and the seat feel is very comfortable, softer than Qin's. The second row is equipped with air conditioning vents, and the second row space is good for home use. Moreover, in terms of sitting posture, the seat填充物会更好 and is also more comfortable, with a reasonable backrest design.
Disadvantages: The car machine of the large central control screen has average fluency, occasionally freezes and restarts. There are only two USB interfaces in total (front and rear), which is a bit insufficient. Also, the design of the inner door handle is very poor. Passengers riding this car for the first time need to be reminded how to close the door. Tire noise and wind noise are obvious; even when driving at 50 mph, they can be clearly felt. The suspension adjustment is on the stiff side, and the bumpiness is more obvious when passing through potholed and bumpy roads.
Interior space: The front and rear seating space is moderate, with no major highlights. The armrest and door storage spaces are small, which is inconvenient to use. Handling: The steering wheel shape tends to be sporty and年轻化. The disadvantage is that the steering wheel is elliptical and not as easy to get used to as traditional steering wheels. The acceleration has a significant advantage over fuel vehicles of the same level, and the brake response is acceptable. Finally, its assisted driving老是往左跑; there were several times when it almost hit the isolation belt, hoping for improvement. Fuel consumption: The energy consumption performance is quite good. I almost use it as a pure electric vehicle, only using a little fuel occasionally for long trips. Currently, it has driven more than 2,900 kilometers, and the car machine shows that only over 400 kilometers were driven using fuel. The current comprehensive energy consumption is about 3.5.
