Uncle Che believes that many people are very entangled in the purchase of models, and the same budget does not know which one is better to choose, such as Changan Yidong PLUS and Chevrolet Corruze. These two models are the "hot" in the compact sedan, and the price is also around 100,000 yuan, which is often compared, and it is difficult for many people to choose between the two. So today we also follow the "trend" to analyze and see if Changan Yidong PLUS can have an advantage over Chevrolet Kruzer.
Changan Yidong PLUS new models were completed in the first half of last year, with a total of 6 configurations and a price range of 72,900 yuan to 103,900 yuan. The 2022 Chevrolet Cruze completed the update in the second half of last year, launching a total of 5 models, with a price range of 111,900 yuan to 122,900 yuan.
Exterior design
The appearance of Yidong PLUS adopts a family design, the front part of the face is equipped with a huge size forward grille, and the honeycomb medium net matched inside is blackened, and the overall shape is very fierce. The up-and-up headlights matched on the left and right sides are integrated with the middle net, and the lighting has LED far and near lights, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, etc. In terms of body dimensions, the length, width and height are 4730/1820/1505 mm, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm.
The tail of the E-Move PLUS has also been redesigned, with the most obvious change being that the upper part of the light cluster is matched with silver chrome trim to connect the two tail lights, while the license plate area is significantly moved down and equipped with a vertical rear reflector to match it. The tail light group is internally matched with the LED light source, and if you do not look closely, it is easy to use the black trim plate matched in the lower half as a through-type light strip.
Chevrolet Cruze as a whole is fashionable and sporty, in response to the preferences of young consumers, the front honeycomb mesh has added black chrome decoration, and the bottom bumper is embellished with body color, which is more attractive. The headlights group uses split headlights with black decorative strips in the middle to widen the visual effect of the front of the car. The front of the car has air intakes on both sides, which are also filled with black, and are outlined with the lines on both sides of the intake grille, which appears sporty and full of power. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4630 (4614)/1798/1485 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2640 mm.
The rear of the Chevrolet Cruze is slightly upturned, adding to the sporty atmosphere of the body. Viewed directly from the rear of the car, the narrow taillights have a bright chrome trim in the middle, which is very recognizable. The black logo is more atmospheric, and the center of the tail wing is upturned, which adds a lot of sports atmosphere. The decorative strip at the lower bumper is also very conspicuous and highly recognizable.
Interior contrast
The interior design of Yidong PLUS is very similar to the reduced Changan CS75 PLUS, and its overall design continues the style of the Changan PLUS family, which has made significant progress compared with the basic version of the model. The most eye-catching place on the center console is the large-size screen connected to each other, which is very highly technological, the central control display screen size is 10.25 inches, and there is a certain angle between the two screens, which takes more care of the driver's feelings.
Compared with the outstanding appearance, the interior of Cruze is relatively simple and the style is much simpler. The center console is very layered, and there is no lack of family style atmosphere. At the same time, limited by the cost, the performance of Cruze is similar to that of models of the same level, and the entire center console and door panel materials are mostly hard plastics, and soft materials are relatively few. The dashboard adopts a 3.5-inch color screen, the central control screen is an 8-inch central control screen, equipped with a new generation of MyLink+ operating system, supporting CarPlay and CarLife functions.
