  "account": "Changan South Africa has expanded its product line-up for the local market in 2027, introducing three new models, including a new sub-brand called Nevo. The three models, Q05 and Q06 SUVs and the Q06 REEV, will be marketed under the Changan Nevo sub-brand instead of simply Nevo. The Q05 and Q06 SUVs will debut in Europe at the Paris Motor Show this week.\n\nThe Q05 is an all-electric vehicle with a 400-volt electrical system and a range of 506km based on China's CLTC cycle. It is equipped with a 17.1-inch infotainment display and has a limited top speed of 160km/h. The Q05 starts at 89 900 to 101 900 yuan, which is equivalent to R223 287 to R253 091 without taxes.\n\nThe Q06 SUV, launched in South Africa in July, incorporates styling elements from the Ferrari Purosangue and Xiaomi YU7. It has a claimed range of 670km and a top speed of 230km/h. The Q06 also starts at 89 900 to 101 900 yuan, which is equivalent to R223 287 to R253 091 without taxes.\n\nThe Deepal S07 REEV, shown earlier this month in Greece, is a plug-in hybrid with three battery pack options: 66-kWh, 77.9-kWh, and 86.7-kWh. Each battery pack powers a single electric motor, with the 66-kWh and 77.9-kWh variants outputting 190kW/290Nm and 200kW/290Nm, respectively. The S07 is available in South Africa as a range-extender, with its powertrain solely used as a generator.",
