CHANGAN THAILAND Officially Launches NEVO Q05

Bangkok,– CHANGAN Automobile, a leader in New Energy Vehicle (NEV) technology, is strengthening its commitment to the Thai automotive market, evolving from a “new challenger” to a true “market leader.” CHANGAN Thailand today officially announced the launch of the CHANGAN NEVO Q05, under the concept “CHASING THE LIGHT,” defining a new generation of intelligent electric SUVs for modern drivers.

The NEVO Q05 is positioned as the ideal travel companion for consumers who want to explore new experiences with confidence. It combines intelligent and comfortable driving performance, a contemporary exterior by world‑class designers, a spacious and refined interior, advanced in‑car technology that fits seamlessly into digital lifestyles, high safety standards and fast charging – all designed to make every journey easier and smarter.

The CHANGAN NEVO Q05 combines a cutting-edge exterior by renowned designer Klaus Zyciora with a spacious, tech-forward “digital cockpit” and advanced safety. Its sleek, aerodynamic design, 18‑inch alloy wheels and five color options create a sporty, premium presence, while the 14.6‑inch central touchscreen and 10.17‑inch digital instrument cluster support Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, intelligent voice control and OTA updates. A full suite of ADAS features – including a 360‑degree 3D surround view camera, transparent vehicle image display and 360‑degree recording – plus smartphone app control and a CATL battery with 3C fast charging (30%–80% in about 15 minutes) ensure safe, comfortable and reliable journeys.

Mr. Di Zhirui, CEO of CHANGAN NEVO, said:
“NEVO is not just a new energy vehicle brand. It is a brand that aims to make technology more accessible, relatable and truly connected to people’s lives. Under the concept of New Evolution, New Vision, New Origin, we focus on technology that understands the emotional needs of users. NEVO’s key goal is to deliver travel experiences that are easy, convenient and full of joy. The logo is inspired by ‘0’ and ‘1’, the foundation of the digital world, combined with the forms of squares and circles, representing technology and life. Together, they express our vision of using technology to create real value in people’s lives.”

NEVO continues to uphold its core brand philosophy: “Inherited the Soul of Changan, Starting the Source of Wisdom.”

Mr. Deng Zhitao, Managing Director of Changan Auto Southeast Asia Co., Ltd., Managing Director and President of Changan Auto Sales (Thailand) Co., Ltd., and Managing Director of Changan Auto Components (Thailand) Co., Ltd., commented on NEVO’s rapid success:

“NEVO has grown very quickly in China, with cumulative sales of over 500,000 units in just three years. Our three models – Q05, A06 and Q07 – are all ranked in the top three within their respective segments. The NEVO Q05 produced in Thailand is now the second model manufactured here after Deepal S05. CHANGAN is committed to global development. We are not focused solely on exports, but on building a complete business ecosystem in each country, covering research, production, supply chain and service.”

Made in Thailand, Sold to the World

Mr. Chris Wu, Vice President of Changan Auto Sales (Thailand) Co., Ltd., highlighted the brand’s global ambitions:

“Thailand is the starting point for NEVO’s global expansion. From here, we will grow rapidly into Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Europe and other key markets. As a global product, the NEVO Q05 was designed from the outset with Thai users in mind. CHANGAN listened carefully to what our customers value – from design and interior space to driving range, technology and safety – and CHANGAN has brought these insights together in the NEVO Q05. Under the concept of ‘Made in Thailand, Sold to the World’, we manufacture in Thailand to serve global markets. We are not here just to do business; we are here to build a long‑term presence, expanding our sales and service network nationwide and continuously enhancing after‑sales service standards.”
