Changan, one of China’s largest automakers, is expanding its electric lineup with the Nevo A06. According to a report published by CarNewsChina, pre-sales have officially opened in China, with a starting price of US $16,800—around €15,300 at current exchange rates. This sharp pricing comes as China’s government pushes for high-quality EV development and as domestic brands race to offer more advanced technology at competitive costs.
Pricing and Battery Options
The Nevo A06 enters pre-sale with an estimated starting price of €15,300, making it one of the most affordable compact EVs in its segment. Changan offers several configurations, including a version equipped with a 6C fast-charging battery pack, which supports extremely high charging rates compared with most standard EV batteries. Changan claims this allows for significantly shorter charging stops, provided compatible high-power chargers are available. The company has also focused on advanced thermal management to ensure the pack remains safe and efficient during rapid charging sessions.
Depending on the chosen battery, the A06 is expected to deliver a range of roughly 400 km (about 249 mi) on a single charge, though final figures will vary by trim.
Bold Design and Aerodynamic Efficiency
Changan has given the Nevo A06 a striking exterior that sets it apart from more conservative rivals. A standout feature is the 2.2-meter full-width headlight bar, creating a futuristic front fascia that looks closer to a concept car than a budget EV. Underneath the style, aerodynamics play a key role: the A06 boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.205 Cd, placing it among the sleekest vehicles in its class. Details like flush door handles and hidden wipers help reduce wind resistance, boosting both range and efficiency.
Market Outlook
With its combination of futuristic design, strong specs, and aggressive pricing, the Changan Nevo A06 targets budget-conscious buyers in China’s booming EV market. While Changan has not announced export plans, its competitive feature set and low price point could make it a candidate for future global markets if regulatory hurdles can be cleared. For now, the A06 is a China-only model, but it showcases the rapid pace of innovation among Chinese automakers.
