A couple asked via the backend, with a budget of around 100,000, planning to buy a somewhat reliable pure electric SUV. After looking at the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 and Leapmotor A10, they both seemed good, but which car is actually worth buying? In my opinion, there is still a huge difference between these two SUVs, and their attributes and characteristics are completely different, making the choice not hard. So today, let's compare these two SUVs and see how to choose?

Specifically, we compare the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 2026 Model 506 Max+ at a benefit price of 95,900, and the Leapmotor A10 2026 Model 505 LiDAR Version at a guide price of 86,800. Both are their respective best-selling configurations, representing versions chosen by most users, with a relatively small price difference.

Currently, both SUVs are best-selling products, even exported overseas. The Changan Qiyuan New Q05 launched in Thailand in May, and will enter Uzbekistan, Central and South America, Europe, etc. within the next few months. Without unexpected issues, it will be seen globally in the future. The Leapmotor A10 will also enter the European market in the future. Both cars are sold globally, and products that can become global cars need to meet testing standards of various countries, so quality is usually trustworthy.

The reason couples choose SUVs for travel, I believe it's more about caring about the comfort experience, so space is very important. The Changan Qiyuan New Q05 as a compact SUV, length/width/height 4435*1855*1600mm, wheelbase 2735mm, while the Leapmotor A10 as a subcompact SUV, length/width/height 4270*1810*1635mm, wheelbase 2605mm. Body size is one class smaller, actual seating space also has a gap. We will discuss specific details later.

The Changan Qiyuan New Q05 front seats are equipped with power adjustment, ventilation, heating, and massage. The front passenger seat is a Queen's Seat with a leg rest, which can recline with one button, perfect for couples traveling comfortably. When tired of riding, you can lie down, turn on the massage for a SPA relaxation. The car interior has 80% quality soft-touch material texture which is better. The combination of automatic air conditioning and PM2.5 filtration allows you to adjust the suitable temperature effortlessly while lying in the car.

Although the Leapmotor A10 is the top trim, only the driver's seat supports power adjustment. While the front row has heating functions, inevitably one of the couple traveling won't enjoy the good treatment. Plus it uses manual air conditioning, requiring manual operation for seat, temperature, and airflow; "lazy" patients would probably feel very uncomfortable. Additionally, the Leapmotor A10 interior is mostly hard plastic, with a soft-touch coverage area of 2.63㎡, which is slightly smaller.

(New Q05)

Moving to the rear seat, an adult 175cm tall in the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 has remaining space of 1 fist at the head and 2 fists at the legs. Crossing legs is also no problem. Meanwhile, it also has air conditioning vents in the rear row, and the backrest angle can be adjusted according to height and sitting posture. So, taking friends or family out on weekends puts no pressure.

(Leapmotor A10)

Adults of the same height entering the rear of the Leapmotor A10 have remaining space of 1 fist at the head and 1 fist 3 fingers at the legs. The disadvantage in wheelbase indeed brings a shortcoming in longitudinal space. Furthermore, the rear of this small car has no air conditioning vents, and the backrest angle cannot be adjusted. If it's hot in summer, it's very uncomfortable, and long rides can easily cause fatigue.

Young people buying cars nowadays focus on intelligent technology. From the cockpit perspective, both SUVs perform very well with rich functions and smooth operation. However, if you are an Apple user and like using phone connectivity, the Changan Qiyuan New Q05's extra CarLink, CarPlay, and Honor Car Connectivity might satisfy you more. Additionally, the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 also adds tire pressure monitoring and 50W mobile phone wireless charging, which can also satisfy many new drivers or friends worried about phone battery anxiety.

Although the Leapmotor A10's cockpit configuration and functions are relatively inferior, in terms of driving assistance, it features extra LiDAR and supports Navigation Pilot Assist. Having cutting-edge technology for a few tens of thousands is indeed good. However, if the budget is sufficient, the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 also provides a LiDAR version and possesses Navigation Pilot Assist functionality.

(Changan Qiyuan New Q05)

Next, let's look at the core three-electric systems. The Changan Qiyuan New Q05 is quite impressive, using premium CATL battery cells across the range. It applies the 'Golden Bell Shield' battery technology. High-spec versions use liquid cooling, while low-spec use direct cooling, all with good heat dissipation performance. There is also a chassis underguard to protect the battery. With a full charge, the range is 506km. Driving 50km daily means charging roughly once every 10 days. Weekends allow for long-distance self-driving or camping, with no problem for cross-city round trips.

(Leapmotor A10)

The Leapmotor A10 uses second-tier brand cells, either Gotion High-tech or Jiangsu Zhengli mixed assembly, depending on your luck which manufacturer you get. However, high-spec versions use liquid cooling, while low-spec use only air cooling, with heat dissipation effects inferior to direct and liquid cooling. Additionally, the Leapmotor A10 range has no chassis underguard, missing a layer of protection. If driving on city paved roads, there's no problem, but when going outdoors, be careful not to easily scrape the chassis. With a full charge, its range is 505km, comparable in strength to the Changan Qiyuan New Q05. However, the Leapmotor A10 403 version drops to air cooling, while the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 uses direct cooling, offering better thermal management effects.

There is a difference in power output. The Changan Qiyuan New Q05, being physically larger, uses a 120kW motor with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 8.9 seconds. The Leapmotor A10, being inherently a commuter car, uses only a 90kW motor with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 10.6 seconds. The driving difference is significant. Starting might not be obvious, but when overtaking on a two-lane road, the Leapmotor A10 has slower power feedback and requires a longer distance to overtake.

Summary:

Overall, although the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 is slightly higher in price, its space, configuration, and power performance are significantly better, and it uses a top-tier battery brand. The Leapmotor A10 offers high-level Navigation Pilot Assist, having an advantage in this aspect. However, as the top trim, it still uses manual air conditioning, and the rear row has no vents; these details are indeed unacceptable. Overall, I think the Changan Qiyuan New Q05 is still more worth considering. What do you think?

Since the beginning of this year, Foton Motor's overseas business has continued the strong growth trend of last year, and the "Comprehensive Internationalization" strategy has entered a new phase.

In May 2026, Foton Motor's total sales exceeded 58,000 units, up 17.3% year-on-year; among them, overseas sales broke through again, with a single-month sales volume of 18,000 units, up 64.3% year-on-year. Cumulative sales from January to May reached 89,000 units, up 38% year-on-year, continuing to lead China's commercial vehicle exports. This report card is not only a rise in numbers but also the inevitable result of its years of adhering to strategic stability and deepening localized operations, marking that Foton's globalization process has steadily entered the harvest period of high-quality development.

For details, please refer to the latest report brought by First Commercial Vehicle Network.

Structural Growth Drives May Sales to New Highs

In May, Foton Motor's overseas single-month sales exceeded 18,000 units, up 64.3% year-on-year, continuing to lead the Chinese commercial vehicle overseas export industry. Cumulatively, from January to May 2026, Foton's total overseas exports exceeded 89,000 units, up 38% year-on-year, maintaining strong growth momentum on the basis of last year's high base, showing the resilience and vitality of its global market layout. This series of positive signals has laid a solid foundation for achieving its annual overseas goals.

Behind the high growth is the continuous optimization of the export structure and the full-scale effort of high-value-added models. The May data continued the strong momentum of the previous high-end transformation, among which the high-end product line represented by Auman heavy trucks grew particularly outstanding. In May, driven by large order deliveries in strategic markets such as Africa and Central Asia, the Auman heavy truck product line's growth also reached a new high. In addition, Foton Cavan CAVAN C1 recently appeared at the German IFAT Exhibition, receiving high attention from the European market, and also added support for the export of high-end new energy products.

From the perspective of regional markets, Foton's global map presents a gratifying situation of "blooming in multiple points and comprehensive breakthroughs". The high-end strategy in the European market has shown initial results. With the brand effect brought by the TUNLAND V9 pickup winning international awards, as well as the batch delivery of electric light trucks in Spain, European orders continued to maintain high growth from January to May. In Africa, with the successive delivery of the Dangote Group's order of more than a thousand trucks in Nigeria, and the capacity release of the local factory in South Africa, Foton has become a key participant in infrastructure construction and logistics transportation in that region. This full-spectrum breakthrough from points to surfaces, from traditional power to new energy, makes the foundation of Foton's overseas market growth more solid.

Localization Operations Build Competitive Barriers

The secret to sales continuously leading lies in Foton's deep insight into overseas market laws and the solid cultivation of "long-termism". Unlike simple trade models, Foton takes "putting global scenarios into the database" as the origin of product competitiveness. Relying on overseas technology centers spread across the globe, Foton has established a "Global Adaptability Compendium" covering 59 countries and 140 high-frequency markets, transforming 16 typical scenarios such as high temperature, high cold, and dusty into technical standards of 49 key modules and 91 quantitative performance elements, thereby ensuring that every product launched overseas can accurately adapt to local complex working conditions and user habits.

This R&D model based on big data and scenario-driven makes Foton thoroughly say goodbye to "passive fire-fighting" style after-sales rectification. For example, for the heavy load and long downhill operating conditions in the African market, Foton started from selection and verification requirements and provided a complete solution for heavy truck models; and in the high-temperature desert environment in Saudi Arabia, by optimizing the air conditioning system and thermal management scheme, the cooling effect of the bus was significantly improved. It is this extreme pursuit of details that made Foton products win the trust of global top customers such as Dangote Group and Central Asian port operators, continuously winning thousand-level large orders, and converting technical standards into real market share.

More critically, Foton's localization operations have been upgraded from "product adaptability improvement" to "whole industry chain rooting". Whether in manufacturing bases in Brazil and Thailand, or KD factories in South Africa and Saudi Arabia, Foton has not only achieved localized production but also driven the full localization of supply chains, services, and talent. In South Africa, relying on the Port Elizabeth factory, Foton provided customized heavy truck and pickup products for the local area; in Thailand, the launch of the 2000th heavy truck marked that it had deeply integrated into the local logistics system. In March this year, Foton and COSCO SHIPPING Special Carriers established a joint company to build a self-controllable sea transport supply chain system, further consolidating the logistics base for global development. This deeply bound industrial ecosystem effectively avoids trade barriers and builds a "moat" that competitors find difficult to replicate in the short term.

"Comprehensive Internationalization" Strategy Leads to Accelerate towards World-Class Commercial Vehicle Enterprises

From "Product Going Global" to "Brand Going Global", and then to "Ecosystem Going Global", Foton Motor's clear strategic path is the key to its continuous leadership in the industry. Facing global industrial changes, Foton firmly promotes the "Comprehensive Internationalization" strategy, positioning overseas business as the core growth pole and giving resource allocation. Since 2026, Foton has steadily promoted strategic execution, achieving rapid response to global market demands by strengthening the collaborative efficiency of market, product, service, and technology platforms.

Looking to the future, Foton's global layout is still pushing towards depth—in the industrial end, the local factories in key markets such as Indonesia and Saudi Arabia will accelerate production, and the local matching ratio of key components will also be further improved. This not only helps reduce production costs and risks but also deeply integrates into the local industrial chain, transforming from a purely vehicle enterprise to a provider of regional traffic solutions. At the same time, Foton is actively collaborating with excellent domestic supply chain partners to "go out together" and jointly build a more resilient global industrial system.

In terms of technology and products, Foton's "Comprehensive New Energy" and "Comprehensive Intelligentization" strategies are accelerating to extend overseas. Relying on independent three-electric core technologies, Foton is accelerating the promotion of electric, hybrid, and fuel cell commercial vehicle products' overseas coverage, and deeply integrating intelligent technologies with local needs. From the pure electric light truck eMiler listed in Singapore and the new generation medium truck Auman D series, to the TUNLAND V series hybrid pickups landing in Europe, Foton's high-end and new energy product matrix has been implemented in multiple overseas regions. Recently, the Foton brand officially landed in Suriname, further improving its strategic layout in Central America and the Caribbean. It can be foreseen that with the continuous promotion of the strategy, Foton will not only lead in sales volume but also occupy a more core position in the global commercial vehicle value chain.

Concluding Remarks

Looking back from the bright performance in May, Foton Motor's globalization journey has entered the fast lane. It has proved by practice that Chinese commercial vehicle enterprises are fully capable of competing with international giants on the global stage with technological innovation and systemized operations. Time has passed half of 2026, and Foton's overseas business is going towards the annual goal with an irresistible momentum.

Senarai jualan kereta baru Mei baru sahaja keluar, mungkin mendedahkan realiti yang sesetengah orang terpaksa akui: Kereta Bahan Api Tulen sedang menuju ke penghujung, sekurang-kurangnya di pasaran China.

Tiada kereta bahan api dalam 16 model teratas

Menurut statistik Persatuan Kereta Penumpang China, 16 model teratas senarai jualan runcit kereta penumpang Mei kesemuanya kenderaan tenaga baru, tiada model kereta bahan api, kali pertama dalam ingatan.

Boyue L muncul di tempat ke-17, cukup untuk memulihkan sedikit maruah kereta bahan api.

Setiausaha Agung CPCA, Cui Dongshu menyatakan, Mei pasaran automotif "Minyak Sejuk, Tenaga Baru Panas" menjadi fokus terbesar, kadar penggantian elektrifikasi melebihi jangkaan.

Terutama dalam 10 model teratas jualan, Geely Xingyuan di tempat pertama dengan 38,751 unit, Tesla Model Y di tempat kedua dengan 28,911 unit, Xiaomi SU7, Leapmotor A10, Li Auto i6 tempat ketiga hingga kelima, Model 3, Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, AITO M6, Yuan UP, Titanium 7 PHEV mengambil tempat keenam hingga kesepuluh.

Diantaranya, 8 model adalah kereta elektrik tulen, 6 model teratas semuanya BEV, kereta elektrik sangat kuat.

Inilah perubahan trend. Januari tahun ini dalam 10 teratas jualan masih ada 7 model bahan api, Februari 6 model, Mac 5 model, April hanya tinggal satu model Geely Binyue, tempat kelapan, Mei jadi sifar. Perubahan yang pantas, membuatkan orang tidak sempat.

Baik Binyue mahupun Boyue, boleh dikatakan terbaik dalam kereta bahan api, tetapi semua jatuh dari pasukan 10 Teratas.

Pada tahun 2025, kereta bahan api masih menguasai separuh daripada 10 Teratas, masih raja pasaran. Sebelum ini, Sylphy, Lavida, Sagitar dll lama menduduki ranking.

10 Teratas juga penunjuk cuaca pasaran automotif, adakah kereta bahan api tidak berusaha? Tentu tidak. Dahulu merek mewah yang tinggi harus buat promosi besar, harga sesetengah model hampir dipotong separuh, seperti Jaguar Land Rover turun 50%, BMW turun lebih 300,000 Yuan.

Kereta bahan api gabungan juga tidak ragu kurangkan harga. Nissan Sylphy Classic harga terminal bermula 50,200 Yuan; VW Sagitar rasmi turun ke 79,800 Yuan, berbanding harga panduan lama 119,900 turun kira-kira 33%, penurunan 50,000 Yuan; Honda Civic model asas harga kenderaan kosong kira-kira 90,000 Yuan; VW Teramont selepas diskaun 82,900 Yuan, penurunan hampir 40%.

Jualan masih tiada banyak peningkatan, ini menunjukkan pengguna tidak begitu berminat, kereta bahan api sudah "kategori kecil", cepat jadi kereta kenangan.

Nisbah penetranasi kereta tenaga baru 62.9% capai rekod tinggi

Sementara itu, penetranasi kereta tenaga baru terus naik. Menurut statistik Persatuan Kereta Penumpang China, Mei penetranasi runcit tenaga baru terus pecah 60% capai 62.9% rekod tinggi sejarah, jauh bezanya dengan 38.6% Januari.

Apa konsep ini? Setara setiap tiga kereta penumpang terjual, dua adalah kereta tenaga baru, kuasai inisiatif pasaran.

Jan-Mei tahun ini, pasaran automotif dalam negara turun sekitar 20%, tetapi serentak jualan runcit kereta penumpang tenaga baru capai 5.306 juta unit, naik tahun ke tahun 1.7%, kontras dengan keadaan pasaran.

Naikkan penetranasi tidak pelik, pelik adalah kelajuan naik. Satu sebab perang Timur Tengah sebabkan harga minyak tinggi, tunjuk kelebihan kos penggunaan rendah kereta tenaga baru.

Sementara itu, pengalaman kereta tenaga baru terus diperbaiki: Reka bentuk luar trend, kabin pintar lancar, pemanduan bantu hemat, susun atur ruang saintifik, tepat menepati preferensi pembeli pengguna muda dan keluarga.

Memandang semula kereta bahan api tradisional, bertahun-tahun inovasi produk lambat, konsumsi minyak tinggi, kecerdasan ketinggalan, kos penggunaan tinggi terus menonjol, perlahan-lama hilang daya saing pasaran.

Dari hulu bekalan, walaupun syarikat gabungan "sejuk" menjadi hangat, mungkin dipaksa. Menurut statistik, Mei jualan kereta tenaga baru gabungan naik 51%, kereta bahan api turun 41%.

Hibrid Minyak HEV juga berkembang

Naikkan penetranasi kereta tenaga baru, menunjukkan percepatan elektrifikasi. Tentu, elektrifikasi bukan hanya kenderaan tenaga baru, HEV hibrid minyak tidak perlu cas juga satu arah.

Menurut statistik, Mei kenderaan penumpang hibrid minyak 92,000 unit, naik 26%, naik 28%.

Diantaranya, GAC Toyota (35,560 unit), FAW Toyota (27,999 unit), SAIC Passenger Cars (12,758 unit), Geely Auto (6,677 unit), Changan Ford (2,809 unit), Dongfeng Motors (1,984 unit), Dongfeng Honda (1,955 unit), GAC Honda (1,198 unit) adalah yang terbaik.

Yang perlu disebut, merek China Geely, SAIC, Changan, GAC dll juga cepat dalam bidang HEV, dan mencari tempat baru di pasaran luar.

Kereta Bahan Api Tulen harap pada eksport

Kereta bahan api di dalam negara roboh dengan kelihatan mata, tetapi di luar negara masih ada tempat besar, terutama di Asia Tenggara, Timur Tengah, Rusia, Amerika Selatan, infrastruktur cas kurang, kereta bahan api masih utama.

Kesan paling jelas, BYD jualan total jauh melebihi Chery, tetapi eksport kedua lebih banyak daripada pertama, dan terutamanya jual kereta bahan api. Chery bahan api merentasi Timur Tengah, Amerika Latin, Rusia, BYD elektrik mendalam Thailand, Brazil, Eropah.

2024 eksport bahan api China capai 4.574 juta unit, ada 78.1% jumlah eksport kereta, nisbah ini sejak 2020 stabil sekitar 3/4; 2025, eksport bahan api 4.483 juta unit, ada 63.16% daripada 7.098 juta (data Asosiasi Industri Automotif China); hingga Mei tahun ini, nisbah masih 46%.

'Hak Sama Minyak Elektrik' selamatkan kereta bahan api?

Sebenarnya, bandingkan kereta tenaga baru dengan bahan api sedikit tidak adil, kelebihan pertama sebahagian dari pengalaman drive elektrik, sebahagian dari keuntungan sistem: Cukai beli bebas, plat hijau mudah, elekrik murah, dan elak cukai jalan di tangki.

Kereta bahan api memang dapat kerugian bisu. Ucapan biasa: "Isi satu tangki minyak, setengah tangki adalah cukai." Walaupun agak berlebihan, logik hampir sama. Sebagai contoh petrol 92 sekarang, cukai konsom, VAT, cukai bandar, tambah pendidikan, tambah pendidikan tempatan, kira-kira 1/3 harga minyak. Harga minyak rendah, nisbah cukai tetap tinggi.

Kereta tenaga baru juga guna jalan, guna tempat letak, buat sesak, usang jalan, dan bahaya lebih besar, terutama SUV tenaga baru besar, berat 2 tan lebih, tetapi kerana tak isi minyak, elak cukai minyak jadi lama.

Kini pihak berkaitan dan media sedang seru, untuk kereta tenaga baru "kurangkan berat", mungkin persediaan cukai ikut berat kereta.

Oleh kerana perbezaan pengalaman pengguna, walaupun capai "Hak Sama", kereta bahan api masih tak lepas nasib merosot, hanyalah sedikit lambatkan proses. (Tulisan | DA Bin)
