Qiyuan Changan Qiyuan Q07 -Hybrid PHEV

【Exterior】
Initially, I liked the black exterior, but later I saw the silver one in the store, which looked particularly nice. Also, considering that black is not耐脏 and not very visible at night, I finally chose the silver exterior with white interior. Color matching is a matter of personal preference; even if you have to wait for the car, you should choose the one you like.
【Space Performance】
Very good. The interior space is comparable to that of a large SUV in terms of riding experience, especially after adjusting the rear seat backrest backward, the visual feeling is very strong, and the front feels very spacious. Nowadays, the interior configurations are already quite sufficient; it depends on personal focus on which aspects.
【Driver Assistance】
In terms of driving, I personally feel that it drives best in suspension sport mode. The body roll is not so obvious when turning left or right. The chassis feedback is clear and not wobbly, especially when driving at high speed, sport mode must be used; in low-speed city driving, the suspension standard mode also has a good filtering effect, with moderate hardness and softness. Driver assistance is only needed on highways or expressways, and the experience is quite good.
【Charging Time】
Under normal charging pile power conditions, the maximum power I currently know can reach 99 kW. It takes about 13 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%; after exceeding 80%, the power will drop to about 40 kW, and after exceeding 90%, it will drop to about 16 kW. The overall full charging time is 25-30 minutes.
【Range and Energy Consumption】
In pure electric driving mode, the indicated energy consumption per 100 kilometers is about 15 kWh, and some owners with lighter driving habits have it between 11-13 kWh. In terms of fuel consumption, after driving 700 kilometers on the highway with fuel priority mode, it is 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers, which is already very good for a car weighing nearly 2 tons.

I initially bought this car because of its space and color. For a first-time car owner like me who didn't trade in an old vehicle, the cost-effectiveness isn't very high, because those who traded in got the car much cheaper than me, which makes me feel uncomfortable when I think about it.

The biggest flaw of this car is that the chassis is all iron. To be honest, after buying it and driving for a while, although the suspension is the CDM Magic Carpet Suspension, I always feel that the tuning is a bit poor. Although it can be finely adjusted for hardness and softness, it still leaves something to be desired. To be honest, the all-iron chassis is not very competitive at present, but the price is cheap, after all, much cheaper than aluminum. As long as the armor coating is well sprayed, it can be solved. The second issue is the pure electric range. The official claim is 215 kilometers (CLTC), but in actual use, it's only about 170 kilometers. It would be more accurate according to the WLTC standard. Don't just look at CLTC (WLTC is 215 kilometers, CLTC is 163 kilometers). Overall, CLTC's 163 kilometers is more accurate. The highway range is roughly halved, which is about 130 kilometers. Currently, these data are based on summer conditions and are my personal results. In reality, everyone's driving habits are different, and power consumption will also vary. I'm neither praising nor criticizing; I think it's acceptable.

The fuel consumption of this car is still very low when there is no power loss, about 4 to 5 liters; when there is power loss, it's about 6.4 liters, but after the power stabilizes, the fuel consumption will drop to about 5 liters. The average power consumption is around 12.7, which can basically drive 170 kilometers. However, due to the 20% power retention, the actual driving distance is only about 150 kilometers. The specific fuel and power consumption depend on individual driving; I'm just providing a reference. Some people accelerate aggressively, which naturally increases power consumption and reduces range, so this is for reference only.

I'm not sure about other minor issues with this car since it's my first car. The seats feel okay. Both the front and rear rows have seat ventilation, but the rear seat ventilation effect is not particularly good, which may need improvement. The charging port cover feels a bit deformed and thin, and there's no LED light to indicate if it's charging. I've seen that basically all other new energy vehicles have this feature.

The space is worthy of the price. When the second row is folded down, a 1×2-meter mattress can be completely placed, making it usable as a bed. The rear space is also very ample, and my family all say the space is large when they ride in my car, which I'm very satisfied with. I once went out alone and slept in the car, which was very comfortable.

Handling and comfort feel okay for now, but on very bumpy roads, it's a bit like riding a rocking horse. As I mentioned earlier, suspension has always been Changan's weakness. I bought the flagship version, and the 150ps power is still very sufficient. Overtaking on the highway is effortless, and it's very enjoyable to drive.

The infotainment system control is a bit laggy and not very smooth, after all, it's the 8155 infotainment chip, which is from many years ago. I heard that the subsequent lidar version will use 8295, which should be much better. The infotainment system currently doesn't support custom installation of third-party software, only HiCat is supported, and others are not supported for the time being. The HUD head-up display is okay, and it can be seen clearly even in half a day, but the HUD content cannot be customized, and the map displayed on the HUD is a bit awkward. It's not as good as DeepBlue's HUD. I hope these functions can be improved through OTA updates in the future.

I initially bought this car because it looked pretty good, offered good value for money, and I liked the Changan brand. But to be honest, after driving it for a while, even though it has the CDM Magic Carpet suspension, which can be adjusted for hardness and softness, I feel the tuning is a bit lacking. The biggest flaw of this car is that the chassis is all iron. To be honest, an all-iron chassis doesn't have much competitiveness these days, but it's hard to resist the low price. It's much cheaper than aluminum, and the issue can be solved by applying a good armor coating. Next is the pure electric range. The official rating is 215 kilometers (CLTC), but the actual test shows only about 170 kilometers, which means it's more reliable to go by the WLTC standard. Don't just look at CLTC (WLTC is 215km, CLTC is 163km). Overall, it's more accurate to go by the CLTC's 163km. The highway range is roughly halved, around 130km. These data are measured by me in summer. The actual situation varies with each person's driving style, so the power consumption will definitely differ. I'm neither praising nor criticizing; I think it's okay. Also, regarding fuel consumption, when the battery is not depleted, the fuel consumption is quite good, about 4–5 liters per 100 kilometers; when the battery is depleted, it's about 6 liters per 100 kilometers, but after the battery stabilizes, the fuel consumption drops back to around 5 liters. Charging while parked is too fuel-consuming. I only tried it once and then gave up; it's just too much fuel. I haven't found many minor issues with this car yet, and it's my first car. The seats feel okay; both front and rear seats have ventilation, but the rear seat ventilation effect isn't particularly good, which might need improvement. The charging port cover feels a bit deformed, and there's no LED indicator for the charging port. To be honest, this doesn't cost much, and I think it's really necessary to add it. In terms of space, it's对得起 the price. When the second row is folded down, you can completely fit a 1×2 meter mattress and use it as a bed. The rear space is also great; my family members all say the space is large when they ride in my car, and I'm really satisfied with the space. I even slept in the car when I went out before, and it was very comfortable. The handling and comfort feel okay for now, but on too bumpy roads, it's a bit like riding a rocking horse. As I mentioned earlier, more effort needs to be put into suspension tuning. I bought the flagship version, and the 150 PS horsepower is still quite sufficient. Overtaking on the highway is effortless, which is really很爽. The infotainment system is a bit laggy; it can't be said to be smooth. After all, it's the 8155 infotainment chip, which is relatively outdated. It's said that the later laser radar version will use the 8295, which should be much better. Currently, it doesn't support custom installation of third-party software, and the infotainment system only supports Huawei's HiCar; others are not supported yet.
