One car to many cars, variable new car "China version of Cybertruck" Changan Qiyuan E07 detonated at the Beijing Auto Show
In China, there are few car products like Tesla Cybertruck that can simultaneously meet the needs of daily travel, off-road, sports cars and other multi-scene functions. At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, which opened on April 25, Changan Automobile’s masterpiece Changan Qiyuan E07 made its debut as an explosive product, directly detonating the traffic of the auto show, because its "one car is polymorphic and changes quickly" can be called the "Chinese version of Cybertruck" based on Chinese users’ usage habits and travel scenarios.
People who see the Changan Qiyuan E07 praise it for being too cool. It has variable shape, variable function, and variable software. It mainly realizes space expansion through the combination of the trunk and cockpit, bringing infinite possibilities for driving scenarios. DIY can be said to be the world’s first new car with variable mass production, and it is also a milestone in the advancement of Changan’s automobile number intelligence.
Changan Qiyuan E07 will be mass-produced and launched in the second half of this year. It will solve the pain points of families buying multiple models due to diverse needs. When the air suspension is lowered, it can be turned into a high-performance coupe, and when it is raised, it can be turned into a high-passing SUV. When the back cover slides open, it becomes a high-loading camper. With camping equipment, it can also become a high-expansion station wagon.
The world’s first mass-produced "variable new car"
According to a survey, car buyers, especially qualified family users, have very different car needs. Many families will purchase two or even three cars in order to meet the needs of different travel scenarios. Under such demand, Changan Qiyuan E07 came into being, making it no longer difficult to choose a car.
The first change of Changan Qiyuan E07 is the medium and large high-end intelligent electric SUV, with a length of more than 5 meters, a width of nearly 2 meters, and a wheelbase of more than 3.1 meters. It provides both pure electric and range-extending power, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes, covering four battery life classes from 550 to 1000 kilometers.
Secondly, Changan Qiyuan E07 is also an evolvable automotive robot with a smart brain and advanced neural networks. Based on the Changan SDA platform, advanced computing architecture, secure communication network and service-oriented software architecture, the new car realizes the digital twin of automotive products.
Changan Qiyuan E07 is more like a platform for the interconnection of the digital world and the physical world. It can map the whole process of research, production, supply and marketing in real time, and the whole cycle of user buying, selling and repairing. It can be transparent online in one stop.
Specifically, Changan Qiyuan E07 is a movable smart castle through the space combination deformation superpower of the trunk and the cockpit, which can be expanded at any time to meet the diverse travel needs.
Imagine! When you are tired, you can put down the front seat and connect it to the second row to form a bed, forming a "one room", which can satisfy various rest scenarios such as "one person sleeping, two people sleeping, and the whole family sleeping". Even if it is a weekday lunch break, you don’t have to lie down at the workstation anymore.
When working, put the second row of seats forward and connect with the trunk to form a semi-open "one hall", taking into account the conference room, living room, study, and office, and the sense of function is directly filled.
When going on an outing, open the electric flat door, and the "camper viewing platform" is presented in front of you. On the "terrace", you can enjoy coffee and cold meals, barbecue and picnic, leisure and entertainment, relax and enjoy nature to the fullest.
When shopping, Changan Qiyuan E07 can be transformed into a huge suitcase, and when moving, the E07 can be transformed into a minivan… Changan Qiyuan E07 is like a superhero like a Transformer, and can adapt to any travel scene.
Regarding the vehicle’s attributes, Changan gave a clear statement: the E07 is not a "6-character" pickup truck in the usual sense, it is not affected by the restrictions on trucks in urban areas, there is no 15-year mandatory scrapping requirement, and you can enjoy high-speed free holidays.
Software Variable Digital Twins
Not only that, Changan Qiyuan E07 is also equipped with advanced software variable functions, whether navigation, music or intelligent assistant, can be upgraded according to demand, making travel more intelligent and convenient.
As a mass-produced model equipped with a central ring network architecture, Changan Qiyuan E07 has a "C2 + EDC" central computer + scene computer, which is like a human left brain and right brain. It has a self-developed backbone Gigabit Ethernet communication ring network and a TSN time-sensitive network with an accuracy of less than 1 microsecond, which is like a human nerve center. The service soft bus developed based on DDS technology has a global communication delay of less than 1.5 milliseconds.
Users can not only customize DIY scenes on the vehicle, but also create and share virtual scenes on the APP, and then sync them to the car. Through the drag-and-pull programming method, it is easy to flexibly combine functions such as door and window opening and closing, seats, air conditioning, etc. Whether it is the Topspace APP or the car system, custom exclusive modes can be realized. In addition, natural language orchestration can be realized without hands, and there are more preset scenes, such as rest mode, cinema mode, front cabin camping mode, etc.
Changan Automobile has also launched the official exclusive APP of E07 – Topspace, which is the base for users to play and control their cars. Through powerful "digital twin" technology, users can enjoy online car viewing, door-to-door test driving, and open online and offline orders, delivery response, transparent delivery, door-to-door delivery and registration. Topspace is also a base for user interaction, co-creation and sharing. Through more than 1,000 API interfaces, developers can use their imagination and create freely. As a "software variable" operating platform, in addition to the functions related to safety and regulations, users can DIY on the APP to realize rich virtual scene creation and sharing. After mentioning the new car, it is automatically synchronized to the car, making Changan Qiyuan E07 truly a personalized and exclusive "number intelligence car robot".
Changan Qiyuan E07 is the integration of the results of the three top-level strategies of Changan Automobile’s new energy "Shangri-La" plan, intelligent "Beidou Tianshu" plan, and globalization "Haina Hundred Chuan" plan. It is the first globalized product of Changan’s "New Car, New Ecology" strategy. It is the "new car" answer sheet that Changan Automobile has been deeply involved in the field of vehicle manufacturing for 40 years and handed over to the times and customers. The arrival of Changan Qiyuan E07 indicates that China’s smart electric vehicle market is moving towards a new height. Consumers will gain more diverse and innovative car purchase options. I believe it will attract more people’s attention and look forward to future market performance. (Text: Yang Xiaohong, Photo: Changan Qiyuan)
