On April 18, Changan Yidong officially ushered in the 1.7 million vehicles off the assembly line. The new car has been comprehensively advanced in terms of design, power, intelligence, and quality, bringing users a new experience that exceeds expectations, and at the same time, helping China's household sedan to evolve and develop again.
Relying on Changan Automobile's excellent R&D strength and strong system capabilities, Changan Yidong has continued to evolve and has been comprehensively renovated for three generations in 12 years, meeting the needs of generations of Chinese people for high-quality family cars, and has gained the trust of 1.7 million users so far, setting another milestone in the development of China's household cars.
Enterprising for 12 years, achieving 1.7 million user satisfaction and trust
In March 2012, the first generation of eMotion was launched, and with the international vehicle shape created by Chang'an Turin Design Center in Italy, it quickly stood out in that era that did not break away from imitation. Practicing the product mission of "Quality Sedan Evolutionary", after 6 years of evolution, in January 2018, the second-generation Yidong brought Changan's latest family-oriented large-mouth front face design, and the interior also adopted a more concise and atmospheric new design language, and the overall texture has also been improved by leaps and bounds in the same class.
The launch of the second generation of eMotion
It is worth mentioning that at the Chongqing International Auto Show in June 2019, Changan Automobile released the Blue Whale power brand, and the Blue Whale NE power platform, as the first power modular platform of Chinese OEM, fills the gap in the field of China's automotive platform development. The second-generation Blue Whale NE1.4T high-pressure direct injection engine was known as the "strongest 1.4T on the surface" at the time, achieving higher torque, the strongest low torque in the same class, and better fuel economy.

In that era when domestic cars generally lacked power and high fuel consumption, Changan Yidong took into account the power improvement and improved fuel economy at the same time, and the data indicators were comprehensively ahead of the world's first-class brands, which not only provided consumers with high-quality choices, but also set a new value benchmark for national sedans.

Changan Yidong has set a benchmark in the market and has repeatedly won the championship in the field. From winning the first round of the China Rally Championship (CRC) S2 group in the first competition, to winning the Drivers' Cup and Manufacturers' Cup in the first race of the Drivers' Cup and the Manufacturers' Cup in the first race of the eMotion PLUS Blue Whale Racing CTCC (China Automobile Venue Professional League), and setting a new record for the fastest lap of the race, eMotion is using its evolving strength to write an advanced chapter in the development of its own sedan.
After 12 years of experience in the A-class family car market, Changan Yidong has also won market recognition and good user reputation, ranking first in China's independent compact car sales list for 27 consecutive months, and Yidong PLUS ranking first in Chinese brand car sales for 12 consecutive months, ranking first in domestic fuel car sales, and topping the Chinese brand car sales list in 2023. It has won numerous awards such as "China's New Five-Star Safety No. 1 Collision", "No. 1 in the Satisfaction Segment of China's Automotive Industry Customer Satisfaction (CACSI)" Evaluation, and "Favorite Family Car" for Users in 2023, becoming a veritable "national family car".
As an "evergreen family car" that has been on the market for 12 years, the success of eMotion is due to the upward development of Chinese family cars at the same frequency, and it is also inseparable from Changan's long-term technological accumulation and innovation of car products, the control of domestic user needs and consumption pain points, and the continuous self-evolution of product quality. In this compact car market, which is almost dominated by joint venture brands, Changan Yidong has broken through the layers of encirclement of joint venture brands and won a place, helping the rise of China's independent vehicles. In the 8 years since it was listed, it has completed the leap in sales from 0 to 1 million+, achieved 1.7 million units in 12 years of listing, and won the favor and affirmation of 1.7 million users.
Best-selling for 12 years, the national sedan chair has evolved again
12 years, a cycle of the zodiac. Adhering to the continuous evolution of eMotion, at the Changan Automobile Spring Renewal Conference with the theme of "Classic Renewal, It's Good to Have You" on March 20, the third-generation Changan Edo integrated Changan's most cutting-edge design, the most advanced technology and full sincerity to leapfrog and renew. The third-generation edo adopts the design language of Chang'an Vertical and Horizontal, integrates the design concept of light luxury life, breaks the impression of the traditional family car, and creates a new style of the new family car, which takes into account dynamic technology and atmospheric stability.
With the largest rear space in the same class brought by the 2765mm ultra-long wheelbase, as well as the largest "dual intelligent large screens" in the same class, microfiber zero pressure 3.0 cloud seats, 45 NVH sound insulation design in the whole body, and 6-speaker surround sound, the third-generation Changan Yidong not only has a large space for a superior home, but also has library-level quiet and comfortable, and a concert hall-level sound immersive and pleasant.
Let science and technology return to people-oriented, the third-generation eMotion has created a new generation of smart and comfortable cockpit, integrating a full-scene intelligent interaction system, which not only supports mobile phone information, APP seamless synchronization of vehicle and machine use and other functions. At the same time, the whole series is equipped with 540° high-definition panoramic image, dash cam, mobile phone Bluetooth key and other functions as standard, which improves convenience and comfort in an all-round way.

What's more, the newly replaced Blue Whale NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine, empowered by i+ intelligent Blue Whale intelligent calibration, is matched with the Blue Whale new generation 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, bringing users a stronger, faster and more fuel-efficient power experience with surging performance output.
In addition, the third-generation edo adopts Changan's "Ark Cage" safety body structure, with 6 airbags and an always-on "online" intelligent alarm system to escort every trip. 33 types of raw materials and 64 types of parts for interior decoration have been tested and tested by the professional "Golden Nose" team. The function of "PM2.5 + activated carbon air filter" builds a complete intelligent health management system to create a healthy, environmentally friendly and comfortable driving environment for users.
In the name of the champion, the benchmark is rebuilt, and the third-generation edo has realized the "3 good and 2 new" re-evolution of new design, new power, good quality, good power and good reputation, and has newly defined the "new fuel" family car to create a new family car preferred by the people.
Excellent products have also helped Changan Automobile's sales continue to rise. In the first quarter, Changan Automobile's cumulative sales volume was 692,100 units, a year-on-year increase of 13.9%, and the growth rate was better than the industry average. Among them, the sales of independent passenger vehicles, overseas markets and independent new energy vehicles increased by 10.4%, 80.1% and 52.4% year-on-year respectively, indicating a strong momentum of high-quality development of enterprises. In addition to the continuous evolution and iteration of products, in terms of service, Changan Automobile has also launched the "Five Commitments of Wisdom and Initiative" to provide users with a comprehensive service experience and further improve service quality.
It can be said that from the date of its birth, Chang'an Yidong has a higher starting point and self-evolution strength in terms of design, power and quality, and has not only become Chang'an's most advanced technology market experimenter, Chang'an's intelligent and technological enterprising image, but also Chang'an's pioneer in the market's recognition of quality harvest. Every evolution and iteration of Changan Yidong, every upgrade of marketing, R&D and service, is also an iterative upgrade of the family car market.
In the future, it is believed that Changan Yidong will continue to evolve, iterate and upgrade with the benchmark of high-quality family cars, and create a higher quality car experience for users.
