Changan Qiyuan and Geely Push Smart EV Shift

Changan Qiyuan and Geely have launched two very different answers to China’s fast-changing new-energy vehicle market: an affordable lidar-equipped electric SUV and a new generation of AI-enhanced hybrids. With the Changan Q05 starting at RMB 89,900 and Geely claiming 48.41% thermal efficiency plus 2.22L/100km fuel use for its i-HEV system, both brands are raising the technology bar for mainstream Chinese EV and hybrid buyers.
