GAC unveiled the Hycan A06 Plus electric sedan at the Guangzhou Auto Show, according to reports from CarNewsChina. The reveal positions the A06 Plus as a refreshed version of the earlier Hycan A06 model, introducing notable styling updates and refinements that aim to appeal to value-conscious buyers in both the Chinese market and international prospects. The most visible changes are a redesigned headlight assembly and a refreshed bumper, which give the front end a more contemporary and aggressive appearance while preserving the model’s overall silhouette. The dimensions show a length of 4945 mm and a wheelbase of 2850 mm, marking a 20 mm decrease in wheelbase from the preceding A06. A new light green exterior tone has also been added to broaden the car’s color palette and appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive look.
Inside, the cabin remains largely unchanged from the prior generation. The A06 Plus features a modern dashboard layout highlighted by a 14.6-inch multimedia touchscreen, complemented by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. A three-spoke, ergonomically designed steering wheel continues to anchor the driving cockpit, delivering a familiar control feel for owners of the former model. These elements underscore Hycan’s emphasis on a comfortable, tech-enabled driving experience while maintaining cost efficiency. The refreshed interior aligns with the model’s positioning as a practical, everyday electric sedan for daily commuting and urban use.
Regarding pricing, the market positioning in China places the Hycan A06 Plus at 139.8 thousand yuan. This sticker translates to roughly 1.7 million rubles at the exchange rate current at the time of publication, illustrating the vehicle’s affordability within the compact electric sedan segment. The price point is a strategic factor as GAC seeks to attract first-time EV buyers and fleets seeking economical electric transportation without sacrificing essential features and range. Market observers in North America and Canada may watch closely to see how Hycan adapts its value proposition for global markets, including potential adaptations in features, connectivity, and aftersales support.
Beyond the A06 Plus, the broader Chinese EV landscape has also seen noteworthy announcements. Earlier reports highlighted the Exeed Sterra ES, a long-range electric sedan described as offering an impressive driving range of up to 995 km. The Sterra ES is planned to be offered in multiple configurations, including single-motor and two-motor setups, with options for two-wheel drive as well as four-wheel drive. Such variations underscore the growing emphasis on maximizing efficiency and versatility within the national market, where consumers increasingly demand extended range along with practical performance for daily transport and weekend adventures. These developments reflect broader strategies where automakers pair generous range with affordable pricing to broaden EV adoption in China and beyond. (Source: CarNewsChina)
