• The Nevo Q06 will be sold as an EV and as a range extender.
  • Changan’s EREV version will use a 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 97 hp.
  • Sleek headlights and taillights help the new SUV catch the eye.

China’s EV scene isn’t short on low, sleek SUVs, and here’s another one sliding into the mix. Called the Changan Nevo Q06, it lands in roughly the same size and shape territory as the Xiaomi SU7, though this one looks set to come in at a lower price point, with less emphasis on outright performance.

Images published by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) show the SUV shares obvious design similarities to the Nevo A06 sedan. With that in mind, it has a pair of split headlights with a full-width light bar, in addition to a black lower grille section and black air intakes.

Changan has also equipped it with gloss black wheel arches, a roof-mounted LiDAR, and door handles sitting flush with the bodywork. The side profile looks particularly sleek, especially thanks to the flowing shoulder line and bulging rear quarter panels. Found at the rear is a light bar and a color-matched diffuser.

Early details also reveal the Nevo Q06 will come with 14 different wheel designs, a two-tone rear spoiler, optional privacy glass, and a panoramic glass door. The SUV is 4,837 mm (190.4 inches) long, 1,970 mm (77.5 inches) wide, and stands 1,670 mm (65.7 inches) tall with a 2,940 mm (115.7-inch) wheelbase.

Unlike the YU7, which is sold exclusively as an EV, the Nevo Q06 will offer all-electric and range-extender powertrains. Two rear-driven electric models will be available, delivering 282 hp and 302 hp, respectively. Those seeking additional power can opt for a 444 hp dual-motor model that raises the top speed from 200 km/h (124 mph) to 230 km/h (143 mph).

There’s no word on the capacity of the available battery packs, but we know they will be LFP batteries sourced through Changan’s partnership with CATL.

Changan will also sell the Nevo Q06 as a range extender. This model will use a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 97 hp, already used by several Deepal models, alongside a pair of electric motors at the rear axle. Details of the battery aren’t known, but it may get an innovative sodium-ion pack like the A06 sedan.
