In the past two years, with the continuous breakthrough of independent brands in car manufacturing technology, the domestic compact car market of less than 100,000 yuan has been firmly dominated by independent brands, and among the excellent independent models, the sales performance of Changan Yidong can be described as extremely eye-catching.
As the third-generation product of the model, Yidong PLUS has not only maintained the excellent performance of monthly sales of more than 10,000 yuan since its listing, but also won the sales champion of its own brand sedan for many times, and the strength proves the recognition of this model by consumers.
So, in the compact sedan market surrounded by strong enemies, how can Changan Yidong PLUS make more and more consumers abandon mainstream joint venture cars such as Langyi and Xuanyi and choose to join the camp of independent brands?
The power of the blue whale cannot be underestimated
In today's compact home car with serious "inner roll", if you want to win the favor of consumers, the power reserve is particularly important, after all, sufficient power protection in any road conditions can bring you sufficient confidence.
Although for a long time in the past, engine technology was the soft underbelly of autonomous vehicles, for Changan Automobile, the Blue Whale NE platform built with huge investment and firm independent research and development routes has made its power performance worthy of the same level of joint venture brands.
For the 2021 Yidong PLUS, the new generation of NE1.4T Blue Whale engine equipped with it has been comprehensively improved in terms of power and fuel economy.
With the support of 35MPa high-pressure direct injection system, Smart Phaser intelligent cam phase modulation system, VDOP fully variable displacement oil pump, dual outlet IEM and many other advanced technologies, this engine can bring the vehicle a maximum output of 118kW and a peak torque of 260Nm.
This engine is characterized by maximum torque in the 1500-4000 r/min r/min range, and has a strong low-section torque output in the same class.
Because the new engine has a wider range of power output and more abundant reserves, in addition to providing more durable power output, its throttle response is also faster.
So you will obviously feel that with the cooperation of the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, driving the 2021 Yidong PLUS to complete each start acceleration and high-speed overtaking is very simple and relaxed, whether it is through busy urban roads or highways are more comfortable.
Of course, this boost in power is not achieved at the expense of fuel economy. Although the 2021 Yidong PLUS is more powerful, the fuel consumption is 0.3L/100km lower than before.
In order to make a good balance between the vehicle's power and fuel economy, Changan Automobile has made great efforts, including using an excellent chassis packaging process to bring lower wind resistance to the whole vehicle, adding an STT idle start-stop system that can save 3%-3.6% fuel consumption, and an intelligent engine lubrication system that can reduce power consumption by about 3%.
Under the joint action of these technologies, the fuel consumption of the vehicle per 100 kilometers is only 5.6L, and each tank of fuel can run about 240 kilometers more, which properly saves the refueling cost of a peripheral tour.
Rich intelligent technology configuration
If power is the most important purchase demand of compact sedan consumers, then another important selection factor at present is the intelligent configuration of the vehicle.
Especially for young people, intelligent car engine system can increase the fun on the road, so that their travel can become less monotonous; the addition of intelligent driving assistance functions can also make each journey more worry-free and labor-saving, and the performance of the 2021 Yidong PLUS in this regard is a big piece ahead of the joint venture rival.
First of all, compared with the configuration of the 100,000-level joint venture car or mechanical instrument + small size central control screen, Yidong PLUS uses a 10.25-inch LCD instrument dual screen with a stronger sense of technology.
The inCall 3.0S intelligent interaction system itself integrates communication, entertainment, travel, safety and life services, and unlike the joint venture brand, the car provides lifetime free basic traffic, unlimited traffic for free online music, online radio, etc. within 5 years, which can also reflect the kindness of independent brands to consumers.
As for intelligent driving assistance, it is already a must-have for the current 100,000 models, and the 2021 Yidong PLUS is no exception. Under the blessing of powerful hardware and software equipment, the protection provided by the car is more meticulous and thoughtful.
It is equipped with four 1280* 720 HD wide-angle cameras with integrated 360° panoramic image, 180° chassis perspective and driving recorder functions, which can monitor the surrounding conditions of the vehicle in real time and provide a 540° safe field of view without dead angles, which is often a configuration function only for joint venture luxury cars.
At the same time, the system comes with 8GB of storage space, which can view the driving video within one hour at any time, and when encountering accidents such as rear-end collision and scratching, you have evidence to rely on to avoid disputes.
In terms of driving assistance functions, the car is equipped with ACC S&G park-and-go adaptive cruise system, LDW lane departure warning, safe distance reminder, FCW front collision warning system, AEB automatic emergency braking system, etc. can also effectively alleviate driving fatigue caused by long-distance travel or traffic jams, and improve driving safety.
Space and practicality
Finally, when it comes to size space, the traditional Chinese concept of consumption has always been to buy big rather than buy small, in addition to the big car looks more stylish, more decent, larger sizes can often provide a more comfortable ride space.
In addition, for many families with average income, the 100,000 yuan class is often the only car in the family, and it is particularly important to meet the needs of 5 people and larger loading.
Of course, the performance of the 2021 Yidong PLUS in this regard is definitely a leapfrog. The length, width and height of the car are 4730mm/1820mm/1505mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2700mm, which has obvious advantages over the joint venture cars such as Langyi and Xuanyi.
Especially under the long wheelbase of 2700mm, the car can bring 114mm rear knee space, 958mm/943mm front/rear head space, even if the passengers of 1.8m can still get more than one punch legroom in the back seat, which has reached the level of many joint venture A+ models, coupled with the rare panoramic sky canopy of the same level, the rear row will also give people a more spacious riding experience.
In terms of loading, in addition to the 500L of large luggage compartment space, the vehicle also supports rear seat 4/6 reclining to further expand the loading space to 1000L, whether it is a full load of 5 people traveling with a family, or loading some items can be easily competent.
Relatively speaking, the back row does not support seat reclining, and if you need to load some longer-sized items at this time, it will become very troublesome.
summary
It has to be said that in the fiercely fierce compact market, Changan Yi Kinetic Energy has become the only one in the autonomous car that has been rooted for 9 years and successfully evolved three generations of model products.
It is precisely because Changan Automobile is willing to invest a lot of financial and material resources in research and development, and is willing to be the forerunner of 100,000-class cars, whether in terms of technology, design, configuration, and materials, it will never hesitate to provide consumers with a variety of cross-level enjoyment, in order to seize the high ground from the joint venture drivers, and gradually accumulate a good user reputation and more than 1.2 million user groups.
It is believed that on the road of continuous evolution, the 2021 Changan Yidong PLUS with excellent product strength and quality-price ratio will also capture the favor of more consumers, which is also the best return for car companies that continuously improve themselves and always walk in the forefront of the market.
For consumers, it is also a kind of happiness to enjoy all kinds of excellent experiences that were available in high-end joint venture cars in the past without paying a high price. 【iDailycar】
