2022 is a year full of turning points for Chinese automobile brands. It can be seen from the market that years of accumulation in technology and products have allowed many independent models to surpass joint ventures in market segments, the most typical of which is the sedan market.
According to data from the Passenger Car Association, the year-on-year decline rate of the leading joint venture sedans in the past year exceeded 2 digits. However, self-owned brand sedans such as BYD Qin and Changan Eado quickly seized market share. However, the difference is that BYD relied on new energy to overtake in corners, while Changan continued to innovate in terms of three major components and quality.
It is worth mentioning that Changan seems to have decided to stick to the fuel car market. In addition to its popular products such as Eado and UNI-V, it also brought the new Yida at the Guangzhou Auto Show two days ago. The new car is positioned as a 100,000-class family sedan. It is built based on Changan's Ark architecture and adopts the latest "Across Everything" design concept.
It can be said that from the platform to the design language, it is not difficult to see the importance of the new Yida, so we have also sorted out whether this car is worthy of everyone's expectations from several aspects. First of all, to answer the question that everyone is more concerned about, what is the relationship between the new Yida, Changan Yidong and UNI-V.
In terms of positioning, Changan Yida's body size is 4770*1840*1440 (1450) mm, which is closer to the space performance of a mid-size car , and is larger than Changan Eado and UNI-V. However, since it is positioned as a 100,000-class family sedan, compared with UNI-V, it focuses on the young market that pursues individuality and quality, so it must be more popular and more people-friendly.
However, in terms of platform architecture, the new Yida and UNI-V both adopt the Ark architecture, which is a platform architecture that covers the body, chassis, safety, intelligence, electronic electrification, etc., which means that the performance of the new car in the above aspects will be on par with Changan's high-end series UNI, which is undoubtedly the most anticipated aspect of the new car.
Then there is the design. Almost none of the products designed by Changan in the past two years have disappointed the market and consumers. In particular, the design language of technological aesthetics is very forward-looking, and has led a trend and family recognition among independent brands.
Just before the official debut of Yida, Changan brought the latest generation design language of - Zongheng Wanxiang. The official interpreted it as taking natural imagery as design inspiration and using the language of science and technology. It is the latest interpretation of Changan Automobile 's technological wisdom aesthetics. Under this design concept, in order to seek the perfect balance between home use and personality,
adopts a horizontal perspective to interpret balance and tranquility to the extreme. It applies vertical and horizontal super symbols, and uses clear and concise edges, sharp lines and tension-rich shapes to create a swooping shape with a low front and high back, leading the trend of the aesthetics of the times. To understand
simply, it means balance.
Therefore, as the first new Yida to adopt the vertical and horizontal design language, you can feel a comprehensive balance, such as the source code digital front grille with the slender light group with right-angle cursors, which also reveals an attractive and calm personality.
At the same time, the design of the side is more exquisite. Elements such as a long front, short front overhang, low height, and large wheels are all added to the new Eda. The overall vehicle height-to-width ratio is only 0.78. Such a sporty design can be applied to a family car, and it is also extremely coordinated, which shows that Changan is mature in design.
At the tail, the right-angled cursor element is used to create a sense of recognition that echoes the front and back. With the not exaggerated duck tail, it has a sense of personality and low-key. The most eye-catching thing about
is the interior atmosphere. The new central control design has clear layers. The upper level is equipped with a 10.25-inch high-definition full LCD instrument. The horizontally widened design is somewhat similar to the actual experience of HUD. The functions also support different themes, dual-screen interaction, display navigation, etc.
The middle layer uses a 13.2-inch high-definition touch central control screen with an screen ratio of 88%, and a new style steering wheel. The car system is iFlytek Feiyu 4.0 ecosystem, which has stronger voice control and recognition rate. It also supports OTA, gesture control, in-car photography, exterior light show and other functions.
In the armrest area, Changan has provided the new Eado with practical configurations such as electronic gear lever, wireless charging, AUTO HOLD, and abundant storage space.
Finally, in terms of the three major components, the new Yida still uses Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine. The maximum torque of is 260N·m. It is matched with the new generation of Blue Whale 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a comprehensive transmission efficiency of up to 96%. It is worth mentioning that thanks to the optimization of styling and the continuous improvement of technology, Yida's fuel consumption under WLTC conditions is only 5.99L/100km.
In short, judging from Changan's idea of building Yida, the new car should be a model that is relatively good in terms of design, quality, intelligence, energy consumption, etc. At the same time, it also continues Changan's consistent tradition in terms of cost performance, and will give users a richer and more avant-garde experience.
