When we buy a car, we habitually divide the car according to the joint venture brand and the independent brand, for many conservative people, a car hanging on the joint venture brand means that it has better quality and better economy, is this really the case? If this had been put 10 years ago, perhaps I would not have put forward a rebuttal, after all, there was still a lot of room for improvement in the level of car manufacturing of independent brands at that time, but now, independent brands have not said that they have surpassed the joint venture brand, but at least it is not worse than the joint venture brand.
Sales will not deceive people, 1-2 months of China's own brand passenger car sales of 1.637 million units, an increase of 20.3% year-on-year, market share of 44.6%, up 2.2 percentage points year-on-year, accounting for almost half of the passenger car market, corresponding to the German brand passenger car market share of 21.2%, Japanese brand passenger car market share of 21.1%, American brand passenger car market share of 9.5%, Korean brand passenger car market share of 1.8%. The market share of French brand passenger cars is only 0.8%, and the market share of independent brands is the combined sales volume of German, Japanese and Korean brands. High sales does not mean that its gold content is low, Changan, BYD, Great Wall and Chery and other mainstream car companies the average price of bicycles has already exceeded the 100,000 yuan mark, and can even sit on an equal footing with the joint venture brand, so that the real volume and price have risen.
Take the representative model of domestic cars Changan Yidong PLUS, this year happens to be the tenth year of Yidong's appearance, and it has contributed 1.25 million units to Changan's total sales in the past ten years, and its progress can be seen as a microcosm of the progress of domestic cars.
In terms of design, the front face of Yidong PLUS has formed a family design style, the spindle-type front grille and headlights are integrated, occupying most of the area of the front of the car, the shape of the grille is available in the shape of a mesh and horizontal strip, there are not small air intakes on both sides, and the tail end is used through-style taillights, supplemented by the slightly raised tail fin above the trunk and the exhaust port decoration on both sides under the bumper, which is both sporty and fashionable.
Interior, the center console of the Yidong PLUS is designed to tilt slightly to the driver's side, the 10.25-inch large screen will not be troubled by reflection when driving, this screen also uses the inCall3.0 intelligent interaction system, users can use the opening and closing of the voice sunroof and multimedia system and other functions, the door panel and the center console part uses a large number of leather and soft wrapping, the interior color is also black, red and blue optional (red appears in the high-end model, blue only the top model is optional), black stable, Red sport, blue premium, to meet the preferences of different users, Yidong PLUS is also equipped with the same color as the interior leather seats, adding a sense of premium.
The length/ width / height of the Yidong PLUS is 4730 * 1820 * 1505mm, the wheelbase is 2700mm, the size comprehensively exceeds the hot-selling joint venture volkswagen Langyi, the performance of the internal riding space will naturally not be bad, the three adults sitting in the back row will not feel crowded, the lane departure warning, active braking and the addition of 6 airbags also give the passengers in the car an extra layer of safety protection.
In terms of power, it can best reflect the progress of domestic cars, Yidong PLUS has two combinations of 1.6L self-priming and Blue Whale new generation NE1.4T turbo engine, the former matches the 5-speed manual and simulates the CVT transmission of 8 gears, does not pursue power, wins in Pingshun fuel saving, 1.4T engine can output 260N·m peak torque at 1500 rpm, whether it is power or turbo entry time is better than the EA211 1.4T engine on Langyi, With the use of a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the power output is very rapid, the frustration control is also good, the important thing is that its NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 5.6L/100km, even slightly lower than the 1.6L manual version, the strength of the Blue Whale engine can be seen.
Write at the end
Yidong PLUS at a starting price of 72,900 yuan to give a larger body size than Langyi, while functions such as reversing image, engine start-stop, induction trunk, keyless entry, remote start and PM2.5 filter device in the car are all standard configurations, and now it seems that the brand spirit of Changan brand "high quality", "low fuel consumption", "strong power" and "rich configuration" is really not just an empty word. In fact, it is not only Changan, but also independent car companies are also practicing such slogans? Whether a car is good or not, the consumer's eyes are shiny.
