Changan is set to launch its new pure electric model, the Changan Lumin, in the Chinese market, with an official debut planned for early next year. This model will be part of the fifth generation of electric vehicles from the company, with a focus on compact city driving.
On April 20, 2025, Changan plans to introduce two variants of the Lumin, with prices starting at 119,800 RMB and 125,800 RMB. The company expects to provide a competitive pricing strategy, significantly lower than the anticipated market prices. Changan has already established over 300 dealerships for the Lumin, which will begin operations on April 29.
The Changan Lumin will be the company’s third electric vehicle launched after NIO and BYD. It is expected to provide robust performance in the compact electric car segment, as it aligns with Changan’s strategy to offer advanced technology and affordability.
With a focus on enhancing user experience, the Lumin will feature a user-friendly service system, supporting the “Battery as a Service” (BaaS) model. This service is expected to commence on August 1 and will be integrated into the new electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Changan has indicated that it aims to establish charging stations that will not only serve the Lumin but will also support other brands. This move is in line with the company’s strategy to expand its electric vehicle service capabilities.
As of March 2024, Changan’s electric vehicle sales have reached 1.77 million units, with the compact segment experiencing a remarkable growth rate. In the first quarter of this year, Changan delivered 4.2 million new vehicles, marking an increase of 40.1% compared to the same period last year.
In summary, the Changan Lumin is positioned to be a key player in the burgeoning electric vehicle market, focusing on urban mobility with an emphasis on affordability and accessibility, while also addressing the growing demand for electric vehicles in Europe and beyond.
