Changan Yida, which has a pre-sale of 89,900 yuan, how is it compared to the Nissan Xuanyi, a divine car with sales?

In the first quarter of 2023, China's car market can be described as very lively, domestic products have been launched, joint ventures have dipped and prices have been reduced, and the rise of independent brands has pressed joint venture car companies breathlessly. Just like recently, the king of family car sales for many years, Nissan Xuanyi, has launched a limited-time preferential policy, starting from less than 80,000, which is a rare preferential force, and it is indeed very attractive; In addition, there is also news that the new Xuanyi, which has been upgraded inside and outside the mid-term facelift, will also be listed in these days, and it is expected to sell 120,000 units.

As a professional editor, I don't think it's a coincidence that I saw Xuan Yi's successive news, there must be something strange in this. If you think about it, why has the pace of such a high-selling model been launched so rapidly recently? What is it afraid of? Why has sales declined recently? I think that Xuanyi's class must have a very strong opponent, and it is likely to be Changan's latest compact car - Changan Yida.

Changan Yida has now started pre-sale, and the pre-sale price range of the three versions is 8.99-110,900, and it is planned to be officially launched at the end of March. Also as a new car, Yida's top pre-sale is only more than 110,000, and the entry-level price of the new Xuanyi is close to 120,000, in terms of price, Yida has more advantages than Xuanyi. But I think Changan Yida's advantages don't stop there.

First of all, the dimensions of Changan Yida are 4770/1840/1440 (1450) mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2765mm; The size of the new Xuanyi is 4652/1815/1450mm, the wheelbase is 2712mm, the larger size of course corresponds to better space, the comfort of the whole family travel is more guaranteed, and Yida has more advantages.

Changan Yida comes from the Ark architecture, the whole vehicle design is especially recognizable on the front face, the source code digital style air intake grille is set up with a bit of a formation L-shaped symbol, with angular bumpers and slender light groups, so that the front face looks wide and more imposing. Yida's vehicle posture is relatively more low-lying effect, the aspect ratio is 0.78, coupled with the upper waist line design throughout the front and rear, you can see the sports effect ready to go from the side, the high-end 18-inch wheels are full of energy, the hidden door handle and the whole vehicle shape are integrated, the vision is more concise and advanced, but also effectively reduce wind resistance, but also can realize the intelligent induction of the handle to bounce off the interaction, showing the charm of technology.

The new Xuanyi has been adjusted in appearance, and the fuel version model uses the latest multi-spoke horizontal grille, with the classic V-Motion design, which looks more like a scaled-down version of the Ethereal. The sides and tail are almost unchanged, and small adjustments in detail bring some freshness. Overall, the new Xuanyi is much younger and sportier than the previous version, but compared to Yida, the design is still a little conservative.

For example, if you take out the tail alone and compare, who do you think is more sporty? Obviously, Yida is more popular and richly layered, and the ducktail design at the end of the trunk with slightly blackened taillights looks much more active than the typical family sedan design of Xuanyi.

Next, look at the interior, the interior design of the independent brand has always been very innovative and technological, Changan Yida is the most attractive is the standard 13.2-inch longitudinal high-definition large screen in the center console, the car machine built-in MT8666 chip, 8-core CPU, with 2GHZ ultra-high-speed computing frequency, whether it is setting car functions or watching navigation, listening to music, it is really convenient to have this large screen, in addition, the car system supports OTA upgrades and voice control, gesture control, etc., as you go, it is the mainstream car machine level on the market. The center console adopts a floating design to increase more storage space, while Changan Yida has a flat, double-spoke steering wheel above and below, and the whole car uses a lot of soft wrapping, with a large area of diamond lattice stitching and perforated design, and the details are also wood grain and bright color decorative parts to interpret texture and taste.

The new Xuanyi is still the interior of the traditional layout, but the central control screen has been upgraded to 12.3 inches, finally keeping up with the times, but unfortunately there is still less "intelligence" in the function, and Japanese cars have not done well in this regard. The design of the three air conditioning outlet cylinders in the central control is very innovative, but the two sides are still flat designs, so the three cylinder air outlets are not coordinated. On the new Xuanyi high-end car, it will have a lot of leather-wrapped interior, but on the low-end car, you will see a lot of plastic, don't be too fantastic.

Since the new Xuanyi has not yet been released, the specific configuration cannot be fully compared with Yida, but it is known that the high-end configuration of both cars will have a rich auxiliary driving system, but because the price of Yida is lower, it is more cost-effective to some extent. In addition, Yida will also be equipped with wireless charging for mobile phones, DMS driver monitoring system, IMS passenger monitoring system, 540° high-definition panoramic image, driver's seat heating, more Asian ergonomic sofa seat, etc., after which Xuanyi is no longer the only "big sofa" in its class.

In terms of powertrain, Changan Yida is equipped with Blue Whale's new generation NE 1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine, with a maximum power of 170 horsepower and a peak torque of 260 Nm, while the fuel consumption in WLTC working conditions is as low as 5.99L/100km, achieving both strong power and low fuel consumption. Changan Yida is matched with Blue Whale's new generation 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which has smoother gear changes, faster response and more reliable quality, and has more than 3 million kilometers of vehicle road reliability testing. This set of powertrains can already be said to be the first-class level of domestic independent brands, and the stability is not inferior to the Japanese system.

The new Xuanyi fuel version is still equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 135 horsepower and a peak torque of 159 Nm, mated to a CVT transmission. Xuanyi is indeed very fuel-efficient, but the power response is really bad, which is already obvious from the data comparison, I don't evaluate too much.

Nowadays, a high-standard national family car has begun to compete with each other at the level of 100,000 yuan, and the price that is pulled down is of great benefit to our consumers. Through some comparison, the pressure of the old joint venture car is indeed great, the power is average, the configuration is lower, and it is sold at a more expensive price, and the decline in sales is an inevitable result. At present, the strength of our own brand models is already quite strong, just like Changan Yida, the pre-sale price threshold is low enough, the internal and external design is original and amazing, scientific and technological intelligence is a strong point, and the stability of the power system has also been verified a lot, like a dark horse. If you happen to be ready to buy a car of this class, don't look at the joint venture, Changan Yida and some models of other independent brands are better choices.
