Self-Developed "Tian" Series Technology, Who Is Changan Qiyuan Q06's Rival?

The moment the press conference ended, people around started placing orders

After Changan Auto released its Tianshu Pilot technology, Qiyuan Q06 simultaneously opened pre-sale orders, with a reservation price starting from 147,900 yuan. There are 7 pure electric versions and 2 extended-range versions, totaling 9 models.

Due to its strong performance in various aspects, it instantly switched to a high-volume order mode.

Where there is popularity, there are controversies. Someone asked an interesting question: Is this car the Changan version of the Xiaomi YU7?

This plainly reflects the questioning many new cars faced in the past year: Does Car A look like Car B? Is it a rushed product?

This is also the reason why Changan released the Tianshu Pilot technology before the Qiyuan Q06 pre-sale.

The strongest trump card of Qiyuan Q06 is three words — Full Self-Development. Tianshu Pilot, Tianshu Cockpit, Tianshu Chassis, three major "Tian Series" technologies gathered on one car for the first time, all developed by Changan from the ground up, representing a total release of Changan Auto's over a decade of intelligent accumulation.

In this issue, we will use four I Ching hexagrams, with Qiyuan Q06 as a product case, to excavate Changan Auto's core competitiveness in the Chinese and global markets.

Qian Hexagram: Single-segment End-to-End, Grasping the Core of Intelligent Driving

Qiyuan Q06 debuts with Tianshu Pilot Ultra, the first single-segment end-to-end intelligent driving system self-developed by a central state-owned enterprise.

What is a single-segment end-to-end? It's not engineers writing rules line by line, but the system watching over 20 million real driving videos and learning how to drive itself. Lane changes are smooth, cornering is stable, acceleration and deceleration are like an experienced driver, because it learned from real humans how to drive.

The hardware specs are tough too: 560 TOPS computing chip, 256-line LiDAR, LiDAR standard on all trims. In low light, backlight, rain, or fog, the machine sees clearer than humans. Achieving "identification earlier than humans" relies on 10Hz high-frequency inference and active LiDAR detection, so even in bad weather, it's not panic.

In terms of features, Highway NCA and City NCA are fully connected, usable from city areas to highways. Over 400 parking scenarios, including narrow spots, dead-end roads, diagonal spots, all handled in one move. 31 active safety functions monitor throughout, the system reacts before humans in emergency situations.

The most amazing is Interactive Pilot. Users just say "Lane change overtake", "Turn right at next intersection", the system understands instantly, also responds to continuous composite commands. Not making people adapt to the car, but the car adapts to people.

Why can these be done? It's the accumulation of full self-development technology. Not bought black boxes, not supplier solutions. It was polished and researched night and day by Changan's 7500 engineers.

The Qian Hexagram says "Heaven moves vigorously, the gentleman strives unceasingly". If you cannot master core technology yourself, you will always be choked by others.

Kun Hexagram: 2940mm Wheelbase plus 800V Fast Charging, Good Cars Make People Feel Secure

No matter how strong the intelligent driving is, the car is ultimately for people to sit in. In this aspect, Qiyuan Q06 goes the extra mile.

Wheelbase 2940mm, longest in its class, space efficiency 91.7%. Exterior doesn't look bulky, interior is very spacious. Rear seatback 145-degree infinite electric adjustment, all seats feature ventilation, heating, and massage. 1.3 meters interior net height, 479mm pure flat corridor, three people in rear seats don't hit legs or shoulders squeezed, dubbed the "Comfort Rear Seat King", not an exaggeration.

In terms of cockpit comfort, 15.6-inch 2.5K HD entertainment screen, sky screen with electric sunshade, instantly becomes a mobile cinema. The "Light Rail Passing Through Building" style electric sunshade, operation feels particularly ceremonial, just swipe lightly to open.

The chassis uses Tianshu Chassis, front double wishbone rear multi-link, luxury car level configuration. Class debut dual-motor rear drive, plus torque vector control, left and right wheel torque independent output. Makes Qiyuan Q06 not slip in rain, not float at high speed, not drift in turns, stable to drive, comfortable to sit.

Range and recharging are equally important, 800V Silicon Carbide platform plus 6C fast charging, fastest "one kilometer per second", charge 5 minutes, range 200 km. CATL battery cells, pure electric 700 km, extended range combined 1600 km, whether city commute or long distance travel, range anxiety basically non-existent.

"The greatness of technology lies not only in being advanced but also in being popularized". Kun Hexagram says "Virtuousness carries all things". Vehicle design is sufficiently generous, large space, stable chassis, long range, so a family can travel safely without worry, enjoying pleasure.

Ji Ji Hexagram: Not a Rushed Car, 15 Years of Ultimate Polishing

Many brands making intelligent driving cars wish to launch dozens of models a year, "Honest Car Making" Changan Auto does not do this.

In 2009, Changan established an intelligent research department, at that time most people didn't know what intelligent driving was. After 15 years, the intelligent team grew from 0 to 7500 people, investment over 60 billion. The first L3 autonomous driving official license plate in the country was taken by Changan, the only national key laboratory focusing on intelligent vehicle safety technology in the country was built by Changan.

This mass production of Tianshu Pilot Ultra on board, behind it is over 400,000 virtual simulation scenario trainings, cumulative verified mileage about 1.45 billion km. Changan executives personally served as "drivers", driving Qiyuan Q06 across dozens of cities nationwide, elevated merging, narrow road pedestrian-vehicle mixed traffic, polishing scenario by scenario.

To ensure users drive worry-free, Changan Auto also specially designed "Tianshu Pilot Peace of Mind Package", accident loss compensation, premium hike compensation, total loss replacement compensation, new and old users buying before end of 2026 all get free for one year. Full scenario protection, full process service, all users available.

Changan used 15 years to polish the sword extremely, only then do we have the today's complete intelligent driving solution composed of single-segment end-to-end, City NCA, over 400 parking scenarios together.

This is something rushed cars simply cannot do.

Ji Ji Hexagram water on fire, rice already cooked. Changan's intelligent driving feast, brewed for 15 years, verifies an old saying, good food is not afraid of being late.

Da You Hexagram: Full Stack Self-Development is the Root, Deep Roots Allow Leaves to Flourish

Someone asked, why can Qiyuan Q06 bring the pre-sale price down to 147,900?

The answer is still the previous three words: Full Self-Development.

Tianshu Pilot from chip to algorithm to chassis, all Changan does itself, not bought black boxes, not supplier patchwork solutions, it is written line by line by code by 7500 engineers.

Because of self-development, costs are controllable. 560 TOPS computing, 256 line LiDAR, 800V Silicon Carbide, 6C Fast Charging, dual-motor rear drive, full aluminum front double wishbone rear multi-link, these things put together, others need to sell for 300,000, Changan can sell for 147,900.

Because of self-development, iteration is fast enough, OTA upgrades don't need to wait for supplier schedules, Changan calls the shots.

Because of self-development, safety guarantee, the only National Key Laboratory for Intelligent Vehicle Safety in the country is Changan's own, Tianshu Intelligent Experiment Center is also Changan's own.

Tianshu Pilot divided into four gradients — Pro, Max, Ultra, Ultimate, LiDAR standard on all trims, single-segment end-to-end on all trims. Not luxury goods made for a few, but to let everyone use them.

Da You Hexagram says "Fire in the sky, light shines everywhere", full stack self-development is that fire, illuminating the road where 140,000 price range can also enjoy high-level intelligent driving.

Conclusion: Deeply Planted Roots, Branches and Leaves Can Reach Far

Full stack self-development root has been planted down, Changan's branches and leaves start to stretch outwards.

In 2025, Changan's annual overseas sales 637,000 vehicles, YoY growth 18.9%, exports accounted for 21.9% of total sales. First half of 2026, overseas delivery 402,000 vehicles, YoY sharp increase 35.1%, overseas business proportion in total sales has been raised to about 33.6%. Overseas business gross margin maintained above 20%, became Changan's high profitability second growth curve.

Thailand Rayong Factory 20,000th vehicle roll out, Brazil Anapolis Factory completed and production. Sales channels cover 129 countries and regions, global layout 93 factories. Changan plans to land Tianshu Pilot's Highway NCA solution overseas first next year.

From Chongqing to the world, from full stack self-development to global layout, Changan walks a path of "Deep Roots Flourishing Leaves".

Changan Auto Group Chairman Zhu Horong said at the press conference: "Core technology must be grasped in one's own hands, central state-owned enterprises must shoulder the banner of national competitiveness, new quality productive forces, technology self-reliance and self-strengthening."

Qiyuan Q06 is this flag. 147,900, single-segment end-to-end, 256 line LiDAR, 800V fast charging, dual-motor rear drive -, this car is not a substitute for anyone, it is Changan showing the sword polished for 15 years, pointing to the global.

Sword is drawn, the road to going global is illuminated.
