It balances cost-efficiency for urban commuting with a smart driving experience, offering a high-value pure electric mobility solution for young global families and urban users.
The Nano 06 Zhiqu Edition launches with two trim levels; the specific versions and official prices are as follows:
471 Air Version: 99,900 RMB
471 Max Version: 109,900 RMB
The Nano 06 adopts the "Quirky Cube" (Qiqu Mofang) design language, featuring a boxy, rugged overall silhouette. The front end sports the signature closed grille typical of new energy vehicles, paired with a full-width daytime running light (DRL) assembly, creating a youthful and highly recognizable visual style. The side profile features clean, fluid lines and roof rails, blending practicality with a crossover aesthetic. The rear utilizes a unique-in-class split-opening tailgate (upper and lower sections); this structure significantly enhances cargo-loading flexibility. The lower tailgate supports a load of up to 150 kg, serving as an outdoor leisure platform suitable for camping, gear placement, and other diverse scenarios. The high-end 471 Max version features an electric split-opening tailgate, while the entry-level version operates manually.
The vehicle is available in a range of trendy colors—such as Oil-Paint Yellow, Wild Green, Star-Sand Silver, and Wave-Riding White—to meet the personalized aesthetic preferences of young users. High-end models also feature a panoramic glass roof, significantly enhancing the sense of spaciousness and airiness within the cabin. In terms of dimensions, the new vehicle measures 4306/1868/1630 mm (L/W/H) with a wheelbase of 2715 mm. This places it at the top tier of small pure electric SUVs, with a wheelbase approaching that of compact-class models. The interior features a five-door, five-seat layout with a completely flat rear floor; combined with multi-angle adjustable rear seats, it ensures passengers can sit comfortably even when the rear bench is fully occupied. The trunk offers a standard capacity of 500 liters, fully meeting cargo needs for daily shopping and short trips.
The cockpit adopts a minimalist, high-tech design. All models come standard with an 8.8-inch embedded ultra-wide LCD instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch HD floating central touchscreen, offering clear information display and intuitive controls. Hardware specifications vary by trim level: the high-end "471 Max" version is powered by the high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, delivering superior multitasking and system fluidity, while the entry-level "471 Air" version uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6125 chip, reliably handling basic daily interactions.
Regarding intelligent interaction, the system features an all-scenario AI voice assistant that supports continuous voice commands and "see-and-say" functionality, allowing for hands-free operation while driving. It also includes multi-scenario interaction modes and diverse interactive sound effects to enhance the user experience. Additionally, the vehicle supports a 6kW external power discharge function, enabling the connection of external appliances for activities like outdoor camping and picnics.
Comfort features are a key highlight: all models come standard with driver's seat ventilation, heating, memory, and welcome functions. These are premium features for this price point, catering to comfort needs across various climates and significantly improving the daily commuting experience.
The Nano 06 "Zhiqu" edition is equipped with the Tianyuan Zhijia T100 intelligent driving assistance system. Hardware includes an 8-megapixel binocular camera with inertial navigation capabilities, enabling precise recognition of road obstacles and traffic signs, with specific optimizations for complex urban driving conditions. Regarding configuration differences, the high-end "471 Max" version offers full support for City NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) and Highway NOA functions. It enables automated operations—such as following the vehicle ahead, lane keeping, intelligent lane changing, and intersection navigation—on major urban roads and highways, effectively reducing the driving burden during long commutes; the vehicle also features a dedicated "smart driving" blue indicator light. The "471 Air" version is equipped with basic Level 2 driving assistance, supporting common features like full-speed adaptive cruise control and lane keeping.
The entire lineup comes standard with a 540° panoramic bird's-eye view system (including a "transparent chassis" view) and a multi-scenario intelligent parking system. These systems clearly display road conditions around the vehicle and beneath the chassis, helping drivers easily navigate narrow passages and complex parking spots, thereby lowering the barrier to entry for novice drivers. It should be noted that the "Tianyuan Smart Driving" system is a combined driving assistance system; it cannot replace the driver, who must maintain control of the vehicle at all times while driving.
In terms of power, the entire lineup is equipped with the Mach E electric drive assembly, featuring a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor. It delivers a maximum power of 135 kW (184 hp) and a peak torque of 290 N·m. The official 0–50 km/h acceleration time is 3.7 seconds, and the top speed is 150 km/h. All models share the same powertrain specifications—with no distinction between high and low power outputs—ensuring that even the entry-level version offers ample power response, allowing for effortless handling of urban driving scenarios such as starting from a standstill and overtaking.
Regarding the battery and range, all models are equipped with a 51.87 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Mach battery. Utilizing a CTP (Cell-to-Pack) direct-cooling structure, the vehicle achieves a CLTC combined range of 471 km. Based on an average daily urban commute of 50 km, the vehicle requires charging only once a week, fully meeting daily transportation needs.
In terms of charging efficiency, the entire lineup comes standard with 3C super-fast charging technology, capable of a peak charging power of 154 kW. Under normal temperature conditions, charging from 30% to 80% takes just 18 minutes, and a 5-minute fast charge adds approximately 114 km of range, significantly reducing waiting times during long-distance trips. The vehicle is equipped with Dongfeng’s proprietary third-generation "Zhihan" thermal management system. Integrating functions such as low-temperature battery preheating, waste heat recovery, and intelligent temperature control, the system ensures consistent battery performance and range stability across a wide range of temperatures, effectively addressing the common issue of range loss in pure electric vehicles during winter.
Built on the Dongfeng Quantum Architecture, the chassis features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear trailing-arm torsion beam non-independent suspension. Tuned by a team of champion CTCC drivers, the setup balances urban driving comfort with agile handling. It offers a smooth ride by effectively filtering out minor road imperfections while maintaining excellent body support during cornering, making it suitable for various scenarios ranging from daily urban commuting to short-distance suburban excursions.
In terms of safety, the Mach Battery employs a multi-dimensional protection system—incorporating structural, thermal management, and electronic control safeguards—and has passed rigorous safety testing. The vehicle utilizes a robust steel-frame structure with high-strength steel in critical areas. Complemented by standard features such as an electronic stability program (ESP) and tire pressure monitoring, it establishes a solid passive safety barrier. Higher-trim models add front and rear curtain airbags, further enhancing protection against side-impact collisions.
As a key model for Dongfeng eπ in the 100,000-yuan price segment, the 2026 Nano 06 Zhiqu Edition addresses the core demands of entry-level EV buyers who seek a balance of value, intelligence, and comfort. Standard specifications—including a powerful 135kW motor, a 471km range, and 3C fast-charging capabilities—ensure a reliable driving experience. Meanwhile, features such as Urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot), an electric "Sky-and-Earth" tailgate (split-opening hatch), and ventilated/heated driver’s seats across the entire lineup create a distinct competitive advantage in this price bracket. For urban users worldwide who prioritize value for money and quality in their daily commute, the Nano 06 Zhiqu Edition offers a compelling electric mobility option that combines practicality, intelligence, and cost-efficiency.
