Bitche Original When the new car Changan Yida first appeared in our field of vision, the discussion about its identity never stopped. At present, Changan's sedans, from EadoPLUS toRuichengPLUS, to UNI-V, basically cover the 7- With a price range of 130,000 yuan, where should this new car be placed?
The original name of Changan Yidong is Lamore. With the announcement of the Chinese name "Yida", combined with its body size and power configuration, the mystery of its positioning has gradually become clearer. Eado PLUS focuses on entry-level compact cars. 7-9 market worth RMB 10,000; Ruicheng PLUS is equipped with Blue Whale NE1.5T high-power engine and has a size close to that of a mid-sized car, focusing on 10-12 Ten thousand Yuan market; UNI-V has a more prominent personality, has two kinds of power: 1.5T/2.0T, and has excellent sportiness. It costs 12-14 million Metaintervals are very topical.
Looking back at Changan Yida, its body size is between that of Eado PLUS and Ruicheng PLUS. From the naming, we can see that it is related to Eado, so it is basically certain that it is a model positioned in the A new car between EadoPLUS and Ruicheng PLUS. As for UNI-V, it is actually not difficult to find their differences. UNI-V is more sporty, while Yida is more family-friendly. According to current news, Yida will be unveiled simultaneously at the Guangzhou Auto Show and will be launched in early 2023. It is not difficult for us to estimate Yida’s listing price. Why don’t you take a guess? I guess it's in the range of 9-11 ten thousand yuan.
Based on this positioning, it will be very interesting for us to look at the product features delivered by Changan Yida. You can enjoy this static article first. My colleagues are currently conducting a dynamic test drive experience on this car. The test drive content will be online later, so stay tuned.
The latest family design elements with outstanding aspect ratio
I have to say that when I saw Changan Yida, I immediately thought of UNI-V. They have very close "borderless" family design elements. However, unlike UNI-V, the lines on the front face of Yida are straighter. If UNI-V is trying to prove its sense of movement, Yida is deliberately restraining its edge.
However, Yida, which is based on the Ark architecture, still has many design highlights. First of all, its aspect ratio is only 0.78, which is almost the same as UNI-V, and it looks very low-profile from the front. Secondly, it also has the characteristics of a long front and short front overhang. Especially when viewed from the front and side, the proportion of the whole vehicle is very harmonious.
There is also a small detail on the front part of Yida. The headlight line extends back along the hood, which looks a bit different. But I think the design here is a little redundant. In fact, it is good to maintain the consistency of the body.
On the side of the car body, in addition to the short front overhang design already mentioned, it also uses hidden door handles. Currently, only UNI-V of Changan sedan has this design, but unfortunately, Only the driver's side has keyless entry. You may have noticed the rims. The style of the rims on the actual model is quite exaggerated, and the size of 18 inches is not small. Tire size 225/45 R18, brand Atlas.
The tail compartment of Yida is not too long and has a bit of a hatchback feel. However, its tail compartment opening method is still traditional and it is not a hatchback. Its high-mounted brake light is quite interesting. It is placed on the roof of the car and is a true "high-mounted brake light". At the same time, the rear of Yida is also designed with an original duck tail, which highlights the sporty feel.
The taillights do not adopt a through design like UNI-V. At the same time, the double-sided dual exhaust pipes below are well decorated, but they are actually single-sided hidden exhaust pipes.
In general, Changan Yida still has a lot of new ideas in design. It can be seen that the designers are constantly weighing the balance between stability and sportiness, trying to distinguish it from existing models. But the next interior has more innovations.
Double-spoke steering wheel+ Vertical screen creates a sense of technology
In recent years, new cars of independent brands have become more and more popular in terms of large screens in the car, and various styles have been used. Taking the Changan series as an example, almost every car is different. Dual central screens, sunflower screens, ship island screens, etc. are different. On the Changan Yida, it also uses a vertical screen for the central control, which is not small in size.
The layout idea of Yida's central control is similar to that of UNI-V. The instruments are on the steering wheel, so you don't need to lower your head to see the instruments while driving. At the same time, in order to take care of this design, its steering wheel shape is not perfectly round. The double-spoke design looks very unique, but everyone needs to pay attention to the issue of alignment when driving.
In order to take care of the forward visibility, the instrument shape is very flat. The middle display area is an LCD screen, and there are digital displays of trip computer information on both sides.
In the central control vehicle systemIt is equipped with MTK 8666 chip, which is a mid-range automotive chip and can meet smooth daily use without any problem. The system adopts the iFlytek Feiyu 4.0 ecosystem, which has obvious advantages in voice recognition performance. It also supports gesture control, in-car photography, exterior light shows, etc.
In terms of intelligent assistance, the real-life model is equipped with IACC, 540° high-definition panoramic images and other configurations, which is sufficient for daily use. It also has functions such as driver fatigue monitoring, child safety monitoring, and driver health detection.
As a brand new car, there is no problem with the materials and colors used in the interior of the Yida. The parts that can be touched by the skin are basically made of soft materials, with a large area of Yunshan green color, plus detailed rose gold and wood. Pattern decoration, the sense of quality is quite in place. It is expected that there will also be pure black interiors in the future, and the visual experience may be different.
The storage space performance of this car is basically in line with expectations. What’s better is that due to the use of a suspended center console, there is still a lot of space under the center console, where you can put some rarely used items. It is worth noting that the mobile phone card slot above the center console has a wireless charging function, which is very useful for daily use.
Space performance is the advantage of Changan Yida. Our video host is 180cm tall. After adjusting the sitting posture in the front row, the headroom is not oppressive, the ergonomics are also ideal, and the driving posture is very comfortable.
The advantage of the rear row is legroom, and the distance between two punches is comparable to that of mainstream mid-size cars. However, Yida's headroom performance is average. You need to slump a little when you need to sit. Fortunately, the bulge in the middle is not too high, and it will not have much impact if it is moved left and right or if there is another person sitting in the middle. The rear row also has air-conditioning outlets, a central armrest and a USB interface, which is no problem for daily use.
The second-row seat backrests of Yida can be folded forward as a whole, but they cannot be folded 4/6 apart. After folding, there is a slight angle with the trunk floor, but if you carry some longer objects, Emergency is no problem.
Power is mainly economical, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam
In terms of power, Changan Yida is equipped with the Blue Whale NE 1.5T low-power engine, with a maximum power of 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 260 N·m. Compared with the UNI-V 1.5T's 188 Horsepower /300N·m, the engine of this car has been adjusted lower in the data. However, the current power data is still considered to be middle-to-upper-class among models of the same class, and it is no problem for daily household use.
Although the power is reduced, the engine technology is not ambiguous. This engine has Agile high-efficiency ultra-clean combustion system, 350bar high-pressure direct injection, Miller cycle and other technologies. Coupled with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, the officially announced WLTCThe fuel consumption under working conditions is 5.99L/100km. If it can reach this level in actual driving, it is quite economical.
It is worth mentioning that Yida's rear suspension is not a multi-link design, but uses a rear torsion beam structure. From the power and chassis configuration, it can be seen that Changan Yida focuses on home comfort and is also differentiated from existing products. As for the actual driving and riding experience, everyone is waiting for the test drive video from our video host in front of us.
Edit comments
At present, there are not many domestic brands that can continue to develop fuel-powered cars. Changan is one of them, and its UNI-V, Eado and other models have achieved good sales and reputation. Judging from the characteristics of Yida's products, in the price range of around 100,000 yuan, it impresses consumers with its sense of technology and practicality. In other aspects, it has achieved the average level of its class, and it can be regarded as a Products that complement the market. For us consumers, if we are not particularly pursuing performance, its more comprehensive comprehensive quality, outstanding technological level and low fuel consumption make it more suitable as a daily family car.
