Changan is shaking things up again with the 2026 Nevo A07, a sleek sedan that proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to get cutting-edge tech and incredible range. Launching in China with a starting price of just 139,900 yuan ($19,640 USD), the updated A07 simplifies its powertrain options while boosting performance. It’s a move that shows Changan is listening to its customers and doubling down on what works.
The Nevo A07 is a cornerstone for the brand, and this update makes it an even more compelling challenger in a market dominated by giants like BYD. It’s offered as both a pure electric (BEV) and a range-extended (EREV) model, but with a much clearer strategy than before.

A Streamlined Look and a Screen-Only Cockpit
The Nevo A07 keeps its handsome, aerodynamic profile. At 4.9 meters long, it has real road presence, with clean lines, flush door handles, and a slippery 0.22 Cd drag coefficient, thanks partly to an active air intake. The slim LED running lights and sporty 19-inch wheels give it a modern, athletic stance.
Inside, minimalism is the name of the game. Changan has ditched the traditional instrument cluster entirely, relying on an augmented-reality head-up display (AR-HUD) to project critical info right into your line of sight. It’s a bold choice that creates an incredibly clean dashboard, dominated only by a large 15.4-inch floating touchscreen. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the system should be snappy and responsive. The center console is practical too, with two wireless charging pads and plenty of storage.
Smarter Powertrains: One BEV, One Super-Range EREV
Here’s where the 2026 model really gets interesting. Changan wisely simplified its confusing array of battery and motor options from last year.
The pure electric BEV model now comes with a single, potent configuration: a 190 kW (255 hp) electric motor on the rear axle paired with a 79 kWh LFP battery from supplier CALB. This setup delivers a very healthy 730 km of CLTC range. Focusing on a long-range LFP pack is a smart move, giving buyers a durable, cost-effective battery without sacrificing range.
The range-extended EREV version gets a major boost. It uses a powerful 200 kW (268 hp) electric motor for a spirited drive and a 35.1 kWh battery from CATL, good for 310 km of pure electric driving. That’s enough for most daily commutes. For longer trips, a 1.5-liter engine kicks in, not to power the wheels, but to act as a generator, stretching the total range to a massive 1,570 km. This is the kind of EREV tech that eliminates range anxiety for good.
Unbeatable Value
Changan didn’t just streamline the powertrains; it also cut the number of trim levels from ten down to a much more digestible four. This makes choosing a car easier and highlights the incredible value on offer. The entry-level model, at 139,900 yuan ($19,640), comes loaded with features like a power tailgate, a surround-view camera system, and an L2 driver assistance suite.
With a limited-time discount dropping the entry price to just 129,900 yuan ($18,240), the Nevo A07 is aggressively priced, putting it in direct competition with other sub-$20,000 sedans like the Dongfeng eπ 007. Changan has consistently delivered impressive tech at shocking prices, as seen with its Nevo Q05 SUV, and the A07 continues that trend. It’s a confident play in China’s hyper-competitive market, offering a stylish, high-tech package that’s hard to ignore.
