Chang'an Automobile announced on September 22, 2025, that its mid-size SUV, the Qiyuan Q07, will receive a LiDAR-equipped version (unofficial name), aiming to enhance its advanced driver-assistance capabilities through hardware upgrades. The current model comes standard with the L2-level Tianzhu driver-assistance system (pure vision-based system), supporting features such as automatic lane-changing and full-speed adaptive cruise control, with a starting price of 129,800 RMB.
Exterior Design
A full-width LED daytime running light with an illuminated logo, hidden door handles, and a rear windshield wiper;
A dual-tier, wraparound LED taillight design and a hidden exhaust system.
Intelligent Hardware
Perception System: 5 millimeter-wave radars + 12 ultrasonic radars + 5 external cameras;
Interior Features: 15.4-inch rotatable infotainment screen (15° left/right adjustment) + 12.8-inch passenger-side entertainment screen, supporting natural voice interaction.
Powertrain
Available with 1.5L (72kW) and 1.5T (110kW) plug-in hybrid systems, both paired with a 165kW front-mounted electric motor;
Battery Options: 21.5kWh (CLTC range 145km) / 31.73kWh (CLTC range 215km).
Hardware Upgrades
A roof-mounted LiDAR module will be added, likely with 126 beams, improving perception accuracy in complex scenarios (e.g., rain, fog, and low light);
It may also feature the NVIDIA Orin-X chip, offering 254 TOPS of computing power, supporting advanced functions like urban navigation assist.
Functionality Expansion
Expected to enable L2+ features such as urban navigation assist without a high-definition map and automated parking;
The current pure vision-based system will be upgraded to a "LiDAR + vision fusion" perception system.
Design Continuity
The exterior design is expected to remain largely unchanged, with only the addition of the LiDAR module on the roof;
The interior will retain the Tianyu OS system and AI-powered interaction capabilities.
Pricing Strategy: The LiDAR-equipped version is likely to be priced between 140,000 and 180,000 RMB, filling the gap between the current top-tier model (171,800 RMB) and competitors like the Ideal L6;
Technical Advantages: Compared to similarly priced models using purely visual systems, the LiDAR-equipped version offers approximately 40% greater reliability in challenging environments;
User Recommendation: Consumers prioritizing advanced driver-assistance features should consider waiting for the new version; those seeking value for money can take advantage of current discounts of up to 10,000 RMB (starting at 119,800 RMB in Chongqing).
