The sixth CCAG Technology Ecosystem Conference has officially commenced. Changan Automobile unveiled its self-developed “Tianshu Pilot” intelligent driving assist technology system. Simultaneously, the first model equipped with Tianshu Pilot Ultra — the Changan Qiyuan Q06 — has begun pre-sales, starting at 147,900 CNY, with six limited-time offers worth up to 33,900 CNY.
As the first state-owned enterprise to develop an end-to-end intelligent driving assist solution, the “Tianshu Pilot” system comprises four levels: Pro, Max, Ultra, and Ultimate. All models come standard with lidar, utilizing an end-to-end large model architecture that emphasizes safety, seamless experience, and compatibility with varied scenarios. To alleviate user concerns, CCAG offers a “Tianshu Pilot Assurance Package” for the Pro, Max, and Ultra versions, which includes accident loss compensation, premium increase coverage, and total loss replacement guarantee. New and existing customers purchasing a vehicle before December 31, 2026, receive a year of complimentary coverage.
Zhu Huarong, the Chairman of CCAG, noted that the automotive industry is swiftly transforming towards “evolutionary intelligent vehicle robots,” with core technology self-sufficiency pivotal to automaker progress. As a state-owned enterprise, CCAG remains committed to the intelligent pathway, fulfilling its industrial obligations towards technological independence. Over the past decade, CCAG has invested more than 60 billion CNY into intelligentization, including 22.5 billion CNY in the smart product sector, with an intelligent R&D team exceeding 7,500 personnel.
Capitalizing on extensive technological expertise, CCAG has established a national exclusive intelligent vehicle safety key laboratory and the Tianshu Intelligent Experimental Center “software proving ground,” driving the transition from passive safety to proactive intelligent safety through the “pan-safety” concept, thereby fortifying the foundational safety of intelligent driving from the ground up. Unlike traditional rule-based intelligent driving schemes, “Tianshu Pilot” relies on over 20 million real-world driving data for training, utilizing an end-to-end large model architecture to ensure vehicle operations like acceleration, lane changing, and cornering align with seasoned driver’s habits, providing a smoother driving experience.
The Changan Qiyuan Q06, currently on pre-sale, is a prominent medium-sized intelligent SUV crafted by Changan Qiyuan, integrating the three core technologies of “Tianshu Pilot, Tianshu Cockpit, and Tianshu Chassis” for a comprehensive product upgrade. Its design features “ray aesthetics,” balancing trendiness with quality. The vehicle boasts a wheelbase of 2,940 mm, with an in-class occupancy rate of 91.7%, demonstrating significant spatial advantages.
Regarding the chassis and energy consumption, the Qiyuan Q06 features a rare dual-motor rear-wheel-drive architecture for its class, complemented by a front double-wishbone and rear five-link luxury suspension. This setup ensures stable handling and an exceptional driving quality. The new vehicle is equipped with an 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform, supporting 6C rapid charging, capable of achieving “one kilometer per second” ultra-fast energy replenishment. The powertrain options include both pure electric and extended-range versions, with the electric model offering a 700 km range and the extended-range variant providing a total range of 1,600 km, meeting users’ long-distance travel needs.
Leveraging ongoing intelligent development, Changan Motors has been approved for L4-level Robotaxi testing licenses and is simultaneously advancing L3-level autonomous driving technology research, aiming for future deployments of commercialized autonomous operations. Moving forward, Changan Motors will continue to focus on core technology innovation, driving the industry’s push towards enhanced safety and intelligence, delivering safer, more efficient, and smarter travel experiences for users.
