Qiu Pei: Changan Qiyuan to Become the "Central Enterprise New Force" Top Player

At the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show, Auto Market Red Dot · Red Tea House was held as scheduled. Qiu Pei, Changan Qiyuan Product Promotion Director and Public Relations Director, was interviewed by Ms. Zhang Hong, Founder of Auto Market Red Dot & Miss Red Car World. He stated: "Qiyuan is striving to approach the Million Qiyuan goal, and this year has consistently ranked in the Top 10 in New Energy Brand Sales in China for consecutive months."

From the brand launch in August 2023 to August 2026, it has been exactly three years. This young brand born from Changan Automobile's "Shangri-La Plan" and "Beidou Tianshu Plan" is rewriting the competition landscape of Central Enterprise New Energy with astonishing speed.

210,000 Units Assault: From Dark Horse to Top Player

In the interview, Qiu Pei responded to external concern with a set of data: In July, Changan Qiyuan delivered 39,841 vehicles, just one step away from the 40,000 monthly sales threshold; global cumulative deliveries from January to July exceeded 210,000 units; the AQ Series grew 103% year-on-year. Among Central Enterprise New Energy brands, Qiyuan has steadily ranked first in sales.

The value of this report card lies in its sustainability and structure. In the highly intensified New Energy market price war, Qiyuan did not rely on aggressive volume pushing, but achieved organic growth through product reputation accumulation. At the product level, Changan Qiyuan Q05 is undoubtedly the biggest credit: delivered 18,871 units in July, consecutively retaining the sales leader position in the Compact SUV category for 4 months, becoming a hit product in the Red Ocean market.

The Overseas Market is also accelerating. Qiu Pei revealed that Changan Qiyuan Q05 has already been launched in Thailand in May and in Uzbekistan in June, and will enter multiple European markets next. "No Changan Without Overseas Presence"—this slogan of the Inclusive Strategy is becoming a reality on Qiyuan.

Changan Qiyuan Q06 Breaks the SUV "Impossible Triangle"

If Changan Qiyuan Q05 is Qiyuan's sales champion, then Q06 is the strategic piece for the brand's upward breakthrough.

In April this year, Changan Qiyuan Q06 completed its world premiere in Shanghai. The "Three No's" concept "Borderless, Ageless, Genderless" proposed by Qiu Pei at that time made outsiders curious about this car. In a short month, Changan Qiyuan Q06 received 20,000 orders. Changan Qiyuan Q06 also showcased at this Chengdu Auto Show and announced it will officially start pre-sale in September.

Qiu Pei detailed the core competitiveness of Changan Qiyuan Q06 in the interview. First is the design level, created by a global team led by World-Class Design Master Klaus Ziechler. The "Flowing Light Aesthetics" original design language solidifies flowing light and shadow onto the body. 4837mm length, 2940mm wheelbase, paired with 91.7% class-leading space efficiency, achieved ultimate space optimization while maintaining the fastback coupe styling.

Secondly is intelligence. Changan Qiyuan Q06 is equipped with the full-stack self-developed "Tianshu Navigation Ultra" intelligent driving system. 256-line LiDAR plus 560TOPS computing power can achieve city NOA navigation assist, mapless city travel, and other full-suite advanced intelligent driving capabilities. Qiu Pei particularly emphasized: "Especially in the urban area smoothness is particularly good, already possessing world-class intelligent driving capabilities."

Chassis and handling are also impressive. The class-first dual motor rear-drive layout, paired with full aluminum front double wishbone rear five-link suspension. Qiu Pei summarized with one sentence: "No slipping on rainy days, no skidding on turns." 800V Silicon Carbide High-Voltage Platform plus 6C Fast Charge can achieve up to "One Kilometer Per Second".

It is worth noting that the independently created integrated electric sunshade of Changan Qiyuan Q06 is inspired by Chongqing's "Light Rail Through Building"—integrating city landmarks into car design is itself a boundary-less product expression.

Chengdu Auto Show Full Series Lineup Showcased

At this Chengdu Auto Show, Changan Qiyuan showcased the full series models with Q06, New Q05, A06, and Q07. From the 100,000 level mainstream family sedan to the 200,000 level mid-large SUV, Qiyuan is building a complete product ladder. Just as Qiu Pei said at the end of the interview: "I hope everyone will visit the Changan Qiyuan stand to take a look at our models."

Three years time, from 0 to nearly 40,000 monthly sales, from single market to global layout, from one hit product to multiple simultaneous launches, Changan Qiyuan is proving with action: The acceleration of the Central Enterprise New Force can also be impressive.
