Changan has unveiled the 2026 Nevo A07, a refreshed large electric sedan that goes on sale in China with a starting price of 139,900 yuan (about 19,640 USD). The 4.9-meter A07 is offered in two powertrain families — a pure BEV and a range-extended EREV — with the EREV delivering an impressive combined range of up to 1,570 km under CLTC test conditions. The Nevo A07 (domestic name Qiyuan A07) is a core model in Changan Nevo's lineup and continues to push the brand's mainstream new energy vehicle ambitions.
Market Positioning and Sales Context
Changan Nevo is positioned as a volume-focused new energy sub-brand of Changan Automobile. The brand sells seven models in its current range and has been a strong performer in the domestic EV market: from January to July 2025 it accounted for 116,710 deliveries in China. The Nevo A07 alone represented 28.5% of that total with 33,318 units sold, underlining the sedan's importance as a flagship product for the marque. The simplified 2026 A07 line-up targets mainstream buyers with clearer choices and competitive pricing.
Exterior Design and Dimensions
The 2026 Nevo A07 follows Changan Nevo's contemporary design language. Up front, slim daytime running lights are connected by a full-width LED strip. Headlamps are integrated lower into the bumper while a flush grille with active air intakes helps reduce drag; Changan quotes a low drag coefficient of 0.22 Cd. Along the flanks the A07 features flush door handles and a sleek, coupe-like roofline, finished with sporty five-spoke 19-inch wheels. At the rear a ducktail spoiler and a single continuous taillight element emphasize the car's aerodynamic and modern look.
Dimensions measure 4,905 mm long, 1,910 mm wide and 1,480 mm tall, with a 2,900 mm wheelbase — about 15 mm shorter than a 2025 Toyota Camry — putting the Nevo A07 firmly in the large sedan segment for buyers seeking cabin space and highway stability.
Interior and Technology
The cabin takes a minimalist approach, removing a traditional instrument cluster and instead offering an augmented-reality head-up display for critical driving information. The two-spoke D-shaped steering wheel hides a compact electronic shifter directly behind it. Infotainment is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor powering a large 15.4-inch floating touchscreen. Practicality is addressed with two wireless phone charging pads in the center tunnel, a large storage compartment and dual cup holders. Advanced driver assistance and convenience functions aim to deliver L2-level autonomy including full-speed adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera system with a ‘transparent chassis’ mode.
Powertrain and Range
BEV model
The new BEV variant uses a 190 kW (255 hp) rear-mounted electric motor paired with a 79 kWh LFP battery supplied by CALB. Changan rates the CLTC range at 730 km for this configuration. Compared with the 2025 A07, the 2026 BEV lineup has been simplified: the previous year offered multiple battery sizes (56.1 kWh, 68.8 kWh LFP and an 80 kWh NMC option) and a lower-output 160 kW motor.
EREV model
The EREV (extended-range electric vehicle) uses a 200 kW (268 hp) electric motor on the rear axle with a 35.1 kWh CATL battery providing around 310 km of pure electric range under CLTC. A 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine rated at 72 kW (97 hp) functions as a generator, and with a 45-liter fuel tank the combined CLTC range reaches up to 1,570 km — an attractive proposition for buyers wanting long-distance flexibility without frequent charging stops.
Trim Levels, Features and Pricing
For 2026 Changan simplified the A07 into four trims, down from ten the year prior. Standard features on the entry-level model include a power tailgate, panoramic sunroof, onboard Karaoke, surround-view camera with transparent chassis, and L2 driver assistance with full-speed adaptive cruise. Prices range from 139,900 to 159,900 yuan (about 19,640 to 22,450 USD). A limited-time promotion can lower the range to roughly 129,900–149,900 yuan (around 18,240–21,050 USD).
2026 Nevo A07 trims and MSRP (China):

- Changan Nevo A07 BEV Flagship – 159,900 yuan (≈22,450 USD)
How It Compares
Against midsize and large sedans, the Nevo A07 stacks up as a value-oriented, tech-rich EV offering strong range on both BEV and EREV setups. Compared with the earlier 2025 A07, the 2026 model focuses on fewer but higher-capability configurations, improving power and top-range figures. When compared to conventional rivals like the Toyota Camry in size and practicality, the A07 delivers EV-specific advantages such as instant torque, advanced connectivity and a more modern, aerodynamic silhouette.
Conclusion
The 2026 Changan Nevo A07 is a competitive entry in the mainstream electric sedan market, offering a clean exterior, a tech-forward interior, and flexible powertrain choices that appeal to range-focused and tech-savvy buyers alike. With strong CLTC range figures, a simplified trim lineup and accessible pricing, the A07 is positioned to remain one of Changan Nevo’s best-selling models as the brand expands its presence in China’s new energy vehicle segment.
