In terms of interior, the new vehicle adopts a wraparound cockpit design, and is equipped with a star-ring intelligent connected dual screen connected to the large AI voice model, supporting functions such as Amap and Baidu dual map navigation, 50W wireless fast charging, and scene magic cube. At the same time, the seats are made of Nappa-texture leather fabric. Both the driver and front passenger seats support three-level ventilation and heating, and the front passenger seat is also equipped with an 8-contact massage queen seat. In addition, the rear knee room is 80mm, and the whole vehicle has 23 storage spaces. As for trunk volume, it reaches 475L under regular conditions, and can hit 1415L after expansion.
In terms of power, the vehicle will be equipped with Changan's self-developed iDE-H deeply electrified intelligent hybrid architecture, and fitted with a 180kW high-flux high-power hybrid electric drive. According to official disclosure, its 500bar ultra-high pressure direct injection hybrid engine, combined with the AI cloud intelligent control algorithm, delivers a fuel consumption as low as 3.89L per 100km in urban areas.
