The Chinese EV market shows no signs of slowing down with innovative new models appearing seemingly every week. One of the latest and possibly most intriguing entries is the Changan Nevo E07. It’s an SUV with a unique feature: it can transform into a pickup truck. This clever design addresses two issues at once – it circumvents restrictions on pickup trucks in China while catering to the growing demand for electric utility vehicles.

Changan Nevo, another sub-brand of the Changan Automobile, is making a name for itself with unconventional EVs. The E07 follows the Q05 SUV and is available in both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) configurations.

Changan Nevo E07 looks a lot like the Tesla Cybertruck is it has curves and the engineers decided to make it more artistic.
