This article compares the Baojun Yunhai 2024 140km plug-in hybrid version and the Changan Qiyuan Q05 2025 125 Premium version for readers' reference.

Baojun Yunhai has an advantage in size and fuel consumption

As can be seen from the above picture, the length, width and wheelbase of the Qiyuan Q05 are not as good as the Baojun Yunhai, but the height of the Qiyuan Q05 is better than the Baojun Yunhai, and the rear seat experience of the Baojun Yunhai is better than the Qiyuan Q05. In terms of level, both models are compact SUVs. In terms of storage space, the volume of both models is about 470L, which is comparable.

In terms of power, the comprehensive power of Baojun Yunhai is slightly lower than that of Qiyuan Q05, and the stronger power also brings a faster acceleration experience. However, the engine power of both models is 78KW, but Baojun Yunhai has higher power torque, better energy efficiency and control than Qiyuan Q05, making Yunhai's fuel consumption lower. In terms of vehicle weight, Baojun Yunhai is 45 kg heavier than Qiyuan Q05, but it saves 0.3L of fuel per 100 kilometers than the latter.

In terms of price, Baojun Yunhai is 13,900 yuan more expensive than Qiyuan Q05, but the former has a larger space and is more fuel-efficient, but the travel cost is lower than Qiyuan Q05, and it also has an intelligent driving function. However, Qiyuan Q05 is cheaper, has an openable panoramic sunroof, and both cars do not need to pay purchase tax.

The battery capacity of Yunhai is larger, but the recharge speed of Qiyuan Q05 is faster.

Comparing the two cars' range chassis, it is not difficult to see that Baojun Yunhai has a pure electric range of 140 kilometers, while Qiyuan Q05 has a range of 125 kilometers, and Baojun Yunhai is slightly ahead. However, the latter uses CATL's Golden Bell Battery, which is better in performance than the former's Shenlian Battery, and the latter is also ahead in fast charging speed.

In terms of drive, both are front-engine front-wheel drive. In terms of chassis, the Baojun Yunhai and Qiyuan Q05 models have the same suspension type, both are front McPherson and rear multi-link suspension. In terms of tire size, the Baojun Yunhai is equipped with R18 tires, while the Qiyuan Q05 is equipped with R19 tires. The Qiyuan Q05 tires are larger and more beautiful. Whether the chassis is good or not depends on the tuning. SAIC and Changan are both car companies with many years of technical accumulation, and they are very good at chassis tuning.

Baojun Yunhai has added intelligent driving skills, and Qiyuan Q05 is better in terms of comfort functions.

In terms of smart cabin, the central control screen of Baojun Yunhai is larger than that of Qiyuan Q05, with better playability and visual effects. In terms of panoramic sunroof, Qiyuan Q05 has an openable panoramic sunroof, while Baojun Yunhai has no sunroof. In terms of car chips, Baojun Yunhai uses MediaTek's 12nm process chip, while Qiyuan Q05 has not disclosed the chip name.

In terms of intelligent driving, both Baojun Yunhai and Qiyuan Q05 provide L2-level driving assistance functions. Active braking, lane departure warning, 360-degree panoramic imaging, lane keeping assist, lane centering, road traffic sign recognition and other functions are all present in these two models. However, Baojun Yunhai supports highway navigation and city memory navigation, which is far ahead of Qiyuan Q05 in terms of intelligent driving level. It also has additional functions such as front parking radar, automatic parking, and narrow road assistance.

In terms of comfort configuration, the two models have the same seat material and air conditioning type, but the Qiyuan Q05 has additional seat heating and ventilation, while the Baojun Yunhai requires an additional 2,000 yuan option. The Baojun Yunhai is equipped with 8 Sony speakers, while the Qiyuan Q05 is equipped with 6 speakers from Pioneer. The former has more speakers and better sound performance. The Qiyuan Q05 also has an electric tailgate and tailgate sensor, interior ambient lights, and automatic flip-down rearview mirrors. The Baojun Yunhai has a steering assist light compared to the Qiyuan Q05.

In terms of the number of car driving sensors, Baojun Yunhai has two more cameras, 1 millimeter-wave radar, and 9 ultrasonic radars than Qiyuan Q05. The perception range of Baojun Yunhai will be larger than that of Qiyuan Q05. The substantial increase in the number of sensors will put higher demands on the chip computing power of the vehicle model.

By comparison, we can see that Baojun has a larger space and is more fuel-efficient. The two models are basically comparable in terms of car machine and chassis, but in terms of comfort configuration, Qiyuan Q05 is far better than Baojun Yunhai, especially Qiyuan Q05 also has an openable panoramic sunroof, while Baojun Yunhai does not have a sunroof in its entire series. Baojun Yunhai has added most of its skill points to intelligent driving. Its intelligent driving ability is almost on par with the new force Xiaopeng M03, but the latter is a sedan.

If you like bigger space and better fuel efficiency, and want to drive with less worry and effort, choose Baojun Yunhai. If you want rich configuration and comfortable seats, choose Qiyuan Q05.
