In the case of domestic SUVs with great fanfare, the car products produced by independent car companies have also begun to emerge. Although Geely Xingrui, Hongqi H5, BYDHan and other products have not formed an absolute dominance, they have become proper best-selling nameplates in their respective market segments.
However, before these A+ class, B class, C class cars, independent car companies and some old entry-level family cars have always maintained the favor of domestic consumers, including Chery Arrizo, Geely Emgrand and other models are among the representatives, but the former is several times the name change sales continue to decline, the latter has always been unable to reach the 100,000 yuan hurdle. In contrast, Yidong PLUS, which was built by Changan Automobile and has undergone two iterations in the market, has gradually become a "brother" in the old self-owned car.
Changan Yidong PLUS has a family-style "big mouth", because the standard version is different from the Blue Whale NE edition, Yidong PLUS can have two kinds of mid-net design options of silver and black honeycombs, the latter will also embed a red S logo representing movement, with the three-dimensional diversion hole independently at both ends of the front, the long headlight group with daily running lights, the front face of the Yidong PLUS gives us a feeling of the past Japanese car. Even compared with the current Xuanyi, Corolla and other family car designs, the sense of movement on the Yidong PLUS will be more intense.
And yidong PLUS body like the front face of the mouth such to meet the market design is more than one or two, the rear part of the car we also saw the current popular through-type taillight belt, although this central connection can not be lit, but the style is still more flattering. With the ducktail tail on the tail box cover and the rear diversion holes on both sides of the bumper, the Yidong PLUS does have the temperament of a high-end sports car.
It makes sense to say that the Yidong PLUS has the temperament of a 300,000+ class model, and if the appearance can only be said to be decent, this cockpit is really good.
Although the 10.25-inch dual LCD screen will only appear in the top configuration, each Yidong PLUS will adopt a center of gravity offset design, the tilting center console with the central air conditioning outlet, and even the outer bracket support of the gear shift mechanism will be sideways on the main driving side, the pushrod-type gear handle, the three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, with the optional red and black contrast soft bag, this sense of sport can be said to be from the outside to the inside.
Speaking of this pair of LCD screens, Changan provides them with an inCall 3.0S intelligent interaction system, which was completed last year, which in addition to being able to realize the basic functions of navigation, multimedia, and mobile phone interconnection, it can also complete the convenient operation including air conditioning and sunroof through continuously operated voice interaction; and its vehicle networking system can also remotely monitor and control the vehicle through the vehicle Internet and mobile phone applications.
In terms of assisted driving, yidong PLUS has a reversing image at the beginning, and the middle and high levels are reversing image + blind spot image and panoramic image. Unfortunately, fixed speed cruise is not provided to automatic models, and full-speed adaptive cruise is only available in the top model of the Blue Whale NE version, and is subject to vehicle positioning and cost, which is only supported by two active systems: lane departure warning and active braking.
In terms of comfort configuration, leather seats are all in the series, which is worthy of praise, but the electric adjustment function is only provided to the main driver's seat, and even the proportion of the rear seat is only provided to the Blue Whale NE version, if you want to get the outer rearview mirror electric folding, rear cup holder, panoramic sunroof, leather steering wheel and other accessories, or can only buy 103,900 yuan of top fittings.
In terms of riding space, the length, width and height of the Yidong PLUS are 4730/1820/1505mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2700mm, which makes it possible to create a 1-punch front head space for 177cm experiencers, and the rear head space will drop slightly by 1 finger, but the legroom can reach 2 punches, and the comprehensive space experience is still excellent.
In terms of power system, Changan provided two engines from the Blue Whale power platform for Yidong PLUS, one is a 1.6LGDI naturally aspirated engine, which has a maximum power of 94kW (128Ps) and a maximum torque of 161N·m, and the transmission provides 5MT or CVT continuously variable transmission options; the other is a 1.4TGDI turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power of 118kW (160Ps) and a maximum torque of 260N·m. The transmission is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission developed as a supporting development, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the entire set of NEDC can be controlled at 5.6L/100km, which meets the requirements of sports performance and the low fuel consumption of family cars.
Write at the end
Changan Yidong PLUS is actually the third generation of the EADO nameplate, although it was pressed behind by the BYD Qin PLUS equipped with DM-i in the first month of 2022 with a gap of more than 3,000 units, but it should be known that the total sales of Yidong last year was only 131,600 vehicles, and now it has sold 21,883 vehicles, and its growth momentum has been very obvious. What's more, in the next 3 years, the auto market environment alone can not rely on new energy to talk about dominance, and a large part of the big cake of the fuel market may be swallowed by Changan Yidong.
