In fact, the most asked models in the shopping guide column are still concentrated in about 100,000 home cars, which is also the largest market segment in China. Many friends want to get a great experience with a limited budget.
In fact, this situation has been realized in the market of independent brand compact SUV, so if you want to consider a family car, who is more suitable? In this issue of [Shopping Guide], we have selected a self-owned brand compact home car to represent Changan Yidong PLUS, to see its strength, and compared with the joint venture competitors, what is the attractiveness?
First, the model overview
What's the highlight?
Changan Yidong PLUS has two highlights, one is derived from the Blue Whale NE platform, to achieve performance improvement and fuel economy gold matching; the other is a strong intelligent experience, especially the 540 ° high-definition panoramic image system, which provides too much convenience for daily urban driving, and also saves a lot of unnecessary bumps and maintenance costs.
The blue whale new generation NE1.4T high-pressure direct injection engine equipped with the blue whale 7 wet-proof dual-clutch transmission equipped with the blue whale 7 wet transmission, the peak power is 118kW, the peak torque is 260N·m, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 5.6L, which can be said to be ahead of many independent and joint venture competitors of the same level.
Blue Whale NE is a new power platform released by Changan in 2019, with the world's first Smart Phaser intelligent cam phase modulation system, China's first fully variable displacement oil pump, standard 350bar high-pressure direct injection and double scroll tube electronically controlled turbocharging and other 14 technologies. The new generation of NE1.4T high-pressure direct injection engine equipped with Changan Yidong PLUS has been optimized by software upgrades, accurate targeting calibration technology and EFI matching, and the power performance has been increased by 2kW on the basis of the previous one, and the fuel consumption of the vehicle has been reduced by 0.3L/100km.
In addition, Changan Yidong PLUS is also equipped with 4 resolution 1280 * 720 HD wide-angle cameras, integrated 360 ° high-definition panoramic image, 180 ° chassis perspective and driving recorder function, real-time monitoring of the situation around the vehicle, it can be said that giving you a 540 ° safety vision without dead angles.
Second, the model analysis
How should Changan Yidong PLUS be selected?
The product highlights of Changan Yidong PLUS were analyzed earlier, so for potential customers, which one should be the most cost-effective? How cost-effective are the configurations? Below we will analyze the cost performance of the six configurations of Changan Yidong PLUS. (Only configuration differences are reflected in the table, and the same configuration is not displayed)
Through comparison, it was found that Changan Yidong PLUS still retained the manual gear entry model with a guidance price of 72,900 yuan and 77,900 yuan, if you like manual transmission, between the two I recommend choosing a manual luxury type of 77,900 yuan, and in the case of the same power, you can add 5,000 yuan more to get a series of configurations such as electric sunroof, leather steering wheel, automatic headlights, rearview mirror heating, automatic air conditioning, one-key lifting and lowering of the driver's window, etc. The most important thing is that the central control screen has also changed from 7 inches to 10.25 inches, which can experience a series of functions of the OTA upgrade and the inCall 3.0S intelligent interaction system, which is still very valuable.
Similarly, for the two 1.6L models priced at 84,900 yuan and 89,900 yuan equipped with CVT transmissions, I still recommend choosing a luxury model with an extra 5,000 yuan, more front side airbags, side blind zone images, electric sunroofs, leather steering wheels, automatic headlights, rear mirror heating, automatic air conditioning, rear exhaust air outlets, one-button lifting and lowering of the driver's window, and a series of practical configurations, as well as a 10.25-inch large screen, which is still more comfortable to use.
Of course, the most worth buying is the two Blue Whale NE 1.4T models, after all, the signboard of Changan Blue Whale is indeed trustworthy. If the budget is limited, choose the 93,900 yuan premium type, including the "Whale Star Sea" dynamic grille, 540 ° high-definition panoramic image, inCall 3.0S intelligent interaction system and other highlights of the Yidong PLUS configuration have been equipped.
If you pursue the ultimate, then choose the flagship version of 103,900 yuan, the extra 6 airbags, lane departure warning, ACC S&G stop-and-go adaptive cruise, front collision warning FCW, automatic emergency braking AEB and a series of other configurations, which can make your driving safer and more efficient, as well as a glass full-screen roof and 17-inch wheels, which look very advanced.
Third, the comparison of competitors
Who else can I choose at the same price?
The compact family car market has always had many choices, especially the joint venture brands Langyi and Xuanyi have occupied the top of the sales list for many years, which is also a good choice. So let's compare it horizontally and see what are the odds of Changan Yidong PLUS compared with the joint venture rival in the case of the same price point (terminal price)?
Obviously, with a budget of about 100,000 yuan, you can only buy the 1.5L automatic fashion version of Langyi 2022 with a terminal price of 102,900 yuan, and the 1.6XE CVT comfort version (old model) of classic Xuanyi with a terminal price of 98,600 yuan, even if the terminal discount is not small, it is not as affordable as the terminal price of 97,900 Yidong PLUS Blue Whale NE 1.4T GDI DCT flagship.
In terms of power, changan yidong plus blue whale NE 1.4T GDI DCT flagship model has a maximum power of 118kW and a peak torque of 260Nm, far ahead of the other two.
In terms of space, the Changan Yidong PLUS Blue Whale NE 1.4T GDI DCT flagship type has a length, width and height of 4730/1820/1505mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm, which is much larger than the other two, and the ride is more comfortable and the practicality is also higher.
In terms of intelligent configuration, it is the strength of independent brands, Changan Yidong PLUS Blue Whale NE 1.4T GDI DCT flagship type equipped with lane departure warning, ACC S&G stop-and-go adaptive cruise, front collision warning FCW, automatic emergency braking AEB, 540 ° high-definition panoramic image, full LCD dashboard, Bluetooth key, keyless entry/start, remote start, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, 10.25-inch central control screen and inCall 3.0S intelligent interactive system, Both Lang Yi and Xuan Yi were out of reach.
In terms of other functional configurations, the main driver electric adjustment, rear armrests, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, driving recorder, induction trunk, 17-inch wheels, automatic air conditioning, mirror heating and automatic folding, etc., are also unique to Changan Yidong PLUS.
In summary, if you don't consider the joint venture aura, there is really no reason not to choose changan yi dong PLUS that can get more experience by spending less money, but still choose Lang Yi or Xuan Yi.
Fourth, the model recommendation
Who should I buy?
After the previous comparative analysis, everyone should have a general understanding of these cars, and finally summarize it for everyone:
Among the six models of Changan Yidong PLUS, the blue whale NE 1.4T GDI DCT premium type of 93,900 yuan is the first to be launched, and if the budget is really limited, the 1.6L GDI CVT luxury type of 79,900 yuan can also be considered.
In terms of horizontal comparison, whether it is Langyi or Xuanyi, in terms of power, space, intelligence and practical configuration, it is not as cost-effective as the more affordable Changan Yidong PLUS.
Above, I hope to be able to play a certain role in helping you to choose a car. Of course, in the process of comparative analysis, it is natural to be benevolent. I hope that you can see more and choose more when buying a car, and you are also welcome to leave a message in the background to compare the models, and the discussion content may appear in the next issue of the [Shopping Guide] column.
