The Hangzhou Asian Games is about to open, and athletes from all over the world are also grinding their fists and preparing to show their talents in the arena. Coincidentally, this fierce competition has always existed in the compact sedan market. Among them, Nissan Xuanyi and Changan Yida are both strong players. One is the fifteenth generation of the Nissan Xuanyi family, which just completed the upgrade in March this year. The other is Changan Automobile's new model, which refers to joint venture compact cars including the Nissan Xuanyi.
In the head-to-head competition, who is the real strength responsible? Below, we may wish to make a comparison to see who is better than the 2023 Blue Whale NE 1.5T GDI DCT Pilot (manufacturer's guidance price of 96,900 yuan), compared with the higher-priced Nissan Xuanyi 2023 1.6L CVT Pleasure Edition (manufacturer's guidance price of 129,900 yuan)?
Compared with driving control, Yida power is more surging
For consumers, family cars are not only a means of transportation, but also one of their important missions to bring fun to drivers. Yida is equipped with Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T engine, through a number of original technologies, the maximum power is 125kW, the maximum torque is 260Nm, and the fuel consumption is 5.99 liters per 100 kilometers under WLTC comprehensive working conditions, taking into account both performance and energy consumption, bringing a more economical car life.
The HR16 third-generation intelligent engine equipped with Xuanyi has four intelligent and efficient technologies, but the "ceiling" of the naturally aspirated engine is low, the final output of the maximum power is 99kW, the maximum torque is 159N·m, and Yida is far behind, fortunately, the fuel consumption is lower per 100 kilometers, the value of 5.94L is almost the same as Yida, as a commuter car or grocery cart is more suitable, if you want fast and furious, you will be disappointed.
In terms of transmission, Yida's new generation of 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission of Blue Whale has a number of innovative technologies and fast shift response. The Xuanyi is equipped with a CVT transmission, which makes driving smooth, but the CVT is inherently unable to carry large torques, resulting in a weak starting acceleration ability of the Xuanyi.
Moreover, Yida adopts yacht-style electronic gear shift handle, which has exquisite shape and comfortable feeling, which greatly improves the driving experience. The Xuanyi 2023 1.6L CVT Pleasure Edition still adopts a mechanical gear shift handle, with an outdated shape and a longer shifting stroke, which is higher and lower than electronic gear shifting.
Compared with intelligent configuration, Yida is more convenient and worry-free
If power is the strength of Yida and the joint venture car of the same level, then in terms of intelligent comparison, it really opens the gap between Yida and Xuanyi.
In terms of the most obvious intelligent hardware of the central control, Yida 2023 Blue Whale NE 1.5T GDI DCT pilot model is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument cluster, and the whole series is equipped with the largest 13.2-inch high-definition central control screen in its class, which forms an interactive double screen with the screen in front of the steering wheel, which is very scientific and technologically sufficient and easy to operate.
The 2023 1.6L CVT Edition is equipped with a rectangular floating multimedia display, which is small in size and the right area of the screen is not convenient for the driver; There are three cylindrical air conditioning outlets under the central control and physical buttons and knobs, with a relatively ancient mechanical feeling, and the lines are also very complex, which is out of touch with the current design trend of simple technology.
In terms of intelligent assisted driving, Yida's 2023 Blue Whale NE 1.5T GDI DCT pilot model gives drivers a sense of convenience and safety. When driving for a long distance, the owner can open the IACC integrated adaptive cruise system, and the vehicle can automatically follow the car in front, and the system will not exit when encountering stop-and-go congestion, and the driver does not need to repeatedly turn on the cruise function; In scenarios such as urban overpasses and large curvature tunnels, the system controls the vehicle to automatically slow down and corner, which greatly reduces the driving burden and avoids risks such as speeding and violations.
In the face of complex environments such as alleys, streets or parking spaces in old residential areas, users can open Yida's 540° high-definition panoramic image, which can observe the surrounding and chassis without dead angles, avoid pedestrians next to the car, potholes under the car, and safely pass through and park.
In addition, in the face of increasingly congested road conditions and chaotic electric bicycles on the road, Yida's safety configurations such as front collision warning, lane departure warning, active braking, and 360° integrated high-definition driving recorder can remind or directly intervene at critical moments to avoid danger, even novice drivers who are not yet skilled in driving can drive Yida on the road easily without being nervous.
In contrast, the intelligent configuration of the 2023 1.6L CVT Edition of Xuanyi is unsatisfactory, and the front collision warning, lane departure warning, and active braking are not available, which cannot help old drivers, let alone escort novice drivers.
Today's consumers not only value intelligent driving, but also care about the technological fashion and playability of the cockpit. Yida car machine built-in MT8666 chip, with 2GHZ computing frequency and 2 trillion times per second neural computing power, computing power far beyond the same level, under the blessing of large computing power, the performance of various control functions is very smooth and not stuttering. For example, Yida's iFLYTEK 4.0 system has comprehensive functions, as long as the user says "Xiaoan, hello", he can complete the functions of opening and closing the window/sunroof, opening / closing the air conditioner, adjusting the temperature, turning on navigation, playing music and so on.
In addition, Yida also has in-car photography, exterior light show, on-board KTV and other functions, adding fun to self-driving tours and camping, such as Leishi car KTV can realize a series of song room operations such as song search, song order, singing, and song cutting, and the built-in professional KTV pre-effect will actively optimize the sound line, making people easily become "Maiba".
Yida 2023 Blue Whale NE 1.5T GDI DCT pilot model is equipped with DMS driver monitoring system, face recognition function can not only remember the driver's driving habits, actively complete various function settings when getting on the car, but also remind the driver with voice, music and other ways at the first time when the driver is tired. Considering that children in the back seat cannot look back when driving, the top-equipped version of Yida is equipped with IMS passenger monitoring system, so that the driver can check the rear seat situation in real time through the central control screen without looking back, and can drive alone with a baby with peace of mind.
Xuanyi 2023 1.6L CVT Pleasure Edition is equipped with Nissan Connect 2.0 system, with common voice control, remote monitoring, remote control, in-vehicle online services, full-time online navigation, online audio and video entertainment and other functions, however, some functions have defects in details, such as voice control, although it can play music, control navigation, and make Bluetooth calls, but does not have hardware control functions such as opening and closing windows and controlling air conditioning. It has been several beats slower in the research and development and application of technology.
Compared with the design value, Yida is newer and fashionable
After talking about hard verification power, let's take a look at the "soft power" competition of the two cars. Appearance is the foundation of a car, and it is also the most intuitive form to impress consumers. With a height to width ratio of 0.78, Yida's low-lying and slippery back posture like a sports car is in line with today's aesthetic trends.
After the mid-term facelift, many people feel that there is a shadow of nature, highlighting the family, but also taking care of the needs of car buyers for "face", but the aspect ratio close to 0.8 makes the whole car look a little thick.
In terms of details, Yida's exterior has a strong sense of the future, especially the dot matrix grille outlined with the "L" symbol as the source code, which is very memorable. In addition, there are airflow channels on both sides of the grille, which is richer in visual elements and can help the whole vehicle further reduce wind resistance.
The Xuanyi features a large inverted trapezoidal grille with V-shaped chrome trim on both sides, which is connected to the raised headlight cluster to form a one-piece design that makes the front look wider. On the whole, the design of Xuanyi's front face is decent, there are no obvious shortcomings, but it is also a little less new.
Yida digital cursor LED headlamps use 12 high-performance LEDs and "SLR-stage" ultra-thin far and low beam LED lenses to bring better light gathering effect and better lighting effect at night.
Perhaps in order to compress costs, the entry-level Xuanyi uses halogen headlights, which have the advantage of easy brightness adjustment and strong penetration of rain, snow and fog, but the disadvantages are equally obvious, that is, the irradiation distance is limited, and the safety of driving at night is low.
Coming to the side, the difference between the two cars is even more pronounced. As a new model, Yida is "born in the new era" and uses hidden door handles that are often found in high-end new energy vehicles, which is unique in its class. The hidden door handle is integrated with the body, the vision is purer, and it will not disturb the airflow, which can reduce wind resistance, and reduce wind noise and energy consumption to a certain extent. In order to dispel users' concerns about the hidden door handle "not popping out and not returning", Yida has undergone more than 100,000 tests in the extreme environment of minus 40 °C to 90 °C to ensure that the hidden door handle can still open normally in rainy and snowy weather and side impact.
Xuanyi uses external pull-out door handles, which belongs to the conventional configuration of 100,000-class compact cars, and the advantage is that there is no learning cost, but it always gives people the regret that "functional machines are still used in the era of smart machines".
The wheel hub is the visual focus of the side of the car, and it is also the part that car companies love to make a fuss. Yida's 2023 Blue Whale NE 1.5T GDI DCT Pilot features 17-inch energy-vibrating wheels, and five-spoke rotating trapezoidal rims that are like the eye of a storm when turning, adding dynamism to the whole car. The Xuanyi uses 16-inch 5-piece cutting wheels, which have a metal texture, a sense of power is enough, and a slightly lacking sense of sportiness.
Finally, looking at the tail, Yida still achieves a very high degree of recognition, the overhead shark fin LED brake light adopts a three-layer waterproof structure in the inner cavity and 14 direct-beam light-emitting LEDs, which can also allow the rear car to clearly identify the brake signal on rainy nights. The original integrated tail mark switch, pressing the tail mark when unlocking can open the trunk, which is both beautiful and practical. The transverse widening and warping tail uses the right curved surface design to make the tail as a whole take on an olive shape, and the fixed wind rear wing is slightly raised to comb the airflow, reducing air resistance and reducing the fuel consumption of the vehicle by 0.02L.
The rear of the Xuanyi adopts a smoked black tail light group, and the black fractured design strip of the C-pillar shows the designer's thoughts. The concave license plate frame in the center of the trunk adds layers to the tail, the rear surround adopts a multi-layer design, and the exhaust layout is designed to be hidden to increase the overall feeling of the tail. It can be seen that Xuanyi has more ink on the rear design, but it still does not jump out of the family's stable style, and it is not outstanding in the traffic.
Compared to the interior, Yida is more technologically advanced
If the appearance meets people's aesthetic needs, then the interior is a symbol of the user's attitude to life and status.
Yida not only has a face, but also a inside, the interior design is very simple, without complex lines and redundant embellishments, the center console should be wrapped in soft materials and leather, and the whole car is also covered with soft material in a large area, getting rid of the "plastic feeling" of 100,000-level cars, whether it is visual or tactile, it is more advanced, suitable for people who pursue the simple and technological style of trams. The interior color of the car is also very exquisite, using Yunshan green in a large area, with a small area of wood grain and bright decorative parts, giving users visual relief and balance.
In contrast, the interior of the 2023 Xuanyi 1.6L CVT Pleasure Edition is more monotonous, only providing an all-black interior, the center console does not have a decorative panel, and the use of soft materials is limited to the upper part, and the lower part of the center console is ordinary hard materials.
Yida's "hardcover" is also reflected in the high-style zero-pressure sofa seat, microfiber material with tassel-shaped quilting, perforation process, wrapping feeling, support is not inferior to "Nissan big sofa", and the configuration is higher, less than 100,000 price can provide driver's seat electric adjustment.
Xuanyi's seat adopts the concept of aerospace zero gravity, which can effectively relieve the fatigue of long-term driving. However, the fabric texture used in the entry-level model is not good, and all seats do not use quilting technology, the ventilation and ventilation ability is weak, it is easy to sweat after sitting for a long time in summer, and the main driver of the Xuanyi Enjoy version does not support electric adjustment, which is a pity for a model priced at nearly 130,000.
More spacious and comfortable than space
The important demand point of family users to buy a car can never be separated from "big". Comfortable and spacious space ability is an important quality of every family car.
Yida uses a body size of 4770*1840*1440mm and a wheelbase of 2765mm to leave enough space for front and rear passengers, especially the rear legs and lateral space are very spacious, and the height of the rear floor of Yida is lower than that of Xuanyi, and the hindrance of rear passengers is relatively small. In addition, the 0.78 aspect ratio not only makes the shape low, but also lowers the driver's seat, making the driver's posture more comfortable, and expanding the driver's headroom and field of view.
In terms of size, the Xuanyi is half a circle smaller than Yida, with a length and width of 4652mm and 1815mm, and a wheelbase of 2712mm, limited size conditions limit the space, and the rear floor of the Xuanyi is higher, which makes the already tight rear space worse, and rear passengers will obviously feel uncomfortable when traveling long distances.
In terms of the interior sunroof, the Xuanyi Enjoy Edition is only an ordinary size, which is too conservative compared with Yida's large openable panoramic sunroof, and also makes the interior look not transparent enough.
Anyone who has bought a house knows that the apartment type has a great impact on the use area, and if the apartment design is not reasonable, the area inside the suite will be wasted. Imagine if there is not enough space in the car to put all kinds of small objects, then no matter how large the space inside the car, it will inevitably look cluttered.
Yida has designed a cutout center console to provide more storage space, and carry-on handbags and other items can be placed within easy reach without taking up additional seating space. The bottom of the center console of Xuanyi is solid, which is more like it is designed to isolate the main and co-pilots, without fully considering the efficient use of space.
In terms of trunk, Yida has 520L luggage space, and all models are equipped with automatic induction tailgate as standard, which can be intelligently opened and fully open within a limited range, saving owners with manual door opening for owners with things in their hands. The trunk of the Xuanyi Enjoy Edition does not have this configuration, and if you are carrying a shopping bag or holding documents, it is obviously inconvenient to put the items on the ground before opening the door.
Through comparison, it is not difficult to find that Changan Yida's 2023 Blue Whale NE 1.5T GDI DCT pilot model is younger and more personal, far surpassing the Nissan Xuanyi 2023 1.6L CVT Pleasure Edition, leading in terms of space, driving control, intelligence, etc., and can be called a new strength in compact cars.
