The Hycan A06 is a battery electric mid-size sedan that is manufactured by Hycan. The A06 was officially launched in the Chinese market in August 2022.
Overview[edit]
At the beginning of December 2022, Hycan presented its third production model and the first classic passenger car, complementing the offer previously created by electric crossovers. Its premiere was preceded by the debut of the Hycan Concept S prototype in November 2021,[1] while the production model was given the name Hycan A06. The car took the form of a large, less than 5-meter high upper-class sedan, distinguished by a slim, elongated silhouette with a pointed, sharply outlined front. Its shape was dictated by the desire to obtain the best possible aerodynamic properties, which resulted in a record value. With a drag coefficient of Cx = 0.217, the Hycan A06 is the most streamlined Chinese car.[2]
The A06 is the first Hycan car built after the withdrawal from the joint-venture startup Nio and the initiative taken over entirely by GAC Group. Unlike the company's previous designs, instead of derivative components, a dedicated platform made of 65% high-performance steel was used.[3]
The A06 passenger cabin has a minimalist design with light tones of finishing materials. The dashboard is dominated by two digital LCD displays, with a 10.25-inch virtual instrument display and a central 14.6-inch touchscreen. It supports Hycan's own operating system called HI-OS, compatible with the extensive Hycan Pilot semi-autonomous driving system.[4]
Sales[edit]
The Hycan A06 was built exclusively for the domestic Chinese market, with pre-orders open even before its launch in August 2022. Deliveries of the first units began in mid-December of the same year, starting with units in cheaper basic drive variants.[5] The price of the cheapest A06 is set at 179,800 yuan, from 269,800 yuan for the top Pefrormance variant.[6]
Technical data[edit]
Hycan A06 is the fastest and most technically advanced electric car in the Chinese company's range. Its drive system in the top variant consists of two engines transmitting power to both axles and developing a total power of 462 HP and 534 Nm of maximum torque. With a maximum speed of 180 km/h, the car accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The 71 kWh battery offers approximately 560 kilometers of range on a single charge.[7] In addition, there are two cheaper and slower variants with one engine with a power of 184 HP or 218 HP.[8]
A06 Plus[edit]
In November 2023, during the Guangzhou Auto Show, an alternative, parallel variant called A06 Plus was presented. It was distinguished mainly by the styling of the front fascia, which was characterized by the division of the headlights into a horizontal light strip and additional lamp shades, characteristic and fashionable among Chinese manufacturers at that time. The interior also uses a different steering wheel. Technical parameters remained unchanged.[9]
