Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Q05 is a compact all-electric SUV that combines a smart and stylish exterior with exceptional practical space. The 2,735mm wheelbase achieves a high space utilization rate of 86.6%. Equipped with an electric drive system boasting 89.6% efficiency, it offers a CLTC range of 405km/506km with an energy consumption of approximately 11.3 kWh per 100km. Featuring a 540L large-capacity trunk, 3C fast-charging battery, SPA-grade comfortable seats, and full-scenario AI voice interaction, it provides young families with a mobility solution that blends emotional care with a technological experience.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the flow and rhythm of nature, "light" serves as the design soul. This creates a body with smooth, extended lines and pure, full surfaces. The vehicle length of 4,435mm and the wheelbase of 2,735mm form a golden ratio of 0.86, giving the body a poised stance. The full-width front light strip and the wave-shaped D-pillar convey a dynamic vitality. The exterior colors are inspired by the interplay of urban and natural light, while the interior, blending natural landscapes with a symmetrical layout and fresh color tones, fosters an airy and relaxing cabin atmosphere.
- Research
- Q05 offers a class-leading 405/506km all-electric range. Equipped with the Golden Bell Shield 2.0 Battery supporting 3C Super Fast Charging, it can charge from 30% to 80% in just 15 minutes. With IPX8 waterproof rating, 24-hour intelligent monitoring, and multiple thermal runaway prevention technologies, it has passed 200+ stringent tests for reliable and safe performance. Equipped with the SDA Intelligent Driving System, a LiDAR, 11 cameras, and a high-performance chip with 128 TOPS, Q05 supports functions like Highway Navigation Pilot and Automatic Steering Assist.
- Challenge
- To achieve a strong presence for the front lights even when unlit and a soft, natural lighting effect when illuminated, the team adopts high-precision aluminum-plated light guide technology and multiple rounds of optical tuning, ultimately presenting a visual effect suitable for both static and dynamic states. The contour lines of the window area have been optimized repeatedly. While maintaining a sleek fastback silhouette, through millimeter-level space planning, the team successfully achieves a high space utilization rate of 86.6% while ensuring 990mm of rear headroom and 320mm of legroom.
- Realization and Technology
- The body employs a 2K clear coat process, undergoing nearly 100 paint film performance tests, including a 7-month accelerated aging test, to ensure lasting color vibrancy. The body structure utilizes a cage-type high-strength steel frame, with nine longitudinal and five cross beams, and the ultra-high-strength steel accounts for 80.3%, providing solid protection. The interior makes extensive use of skin-friendly, eco-friendly materials. Combined with the AOS Air Management System, it ensures fresher cabin air. The seats feature 1.0mm skin-friendly water-based eco-friendly leather, offering a warm, soft, breathable, and comfortable touch.
- Operation and Interaction
- The 540L trunk features a sunken, layered design, expandable to 1,380L. Combined with a 90L hidden storage compartment and 29 storage spaces throughout the vehicle, it meets family loading needs. The cabin is equipped with a 15.6-inch ultra-clear floating screen and a full-scenario AI voice system, supporting 1,100+ semantic recognition, dialects, and wake-up-free operation. The front SPA seats support multiple massage modes, ventilation, and heating. The "Queen's Seat" passenger side includes a footrest and can recline at a large 165° angle. The rear seatbacks offer three adjustable positions (0°/118°/123°), comprehensively enhancing ride comfort.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in March 2023, ended in October 2025, and was officially launched in November 2025.
