Numbers first, because with the Nevo A06 they are the story: Petrol engine, 163-286 PS. Changan Automobile built from 2023, in the decade the industry is turning electric. Klaus Zyciora drew it.
Where it came from
The Changan Nevo A06 (Chinese: 长安启源A06) is a battery electric and range extender mid-size sedan produced by Chinese auto manufacturer Changan under the Changan Nevo.
Under the skin
Power comes from Petrol engine; 163-286 PS is the published figure; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1750-1887 kg. Work it out per tonne and you get about 93 horsepower — brisk everyday performance. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2922 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Nanchang, China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Kia EV6, the Proton S70, the Jeep Avenger — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Changan Automobile catalogue sit the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
