With the rapid progress of domestic independent brands in recent years, a large number of cost-effective models have emerged in the market, and have achieved good sales results and reputation, making it difficult to distinguish with joint venture models of the same level. In order to further consolidate the market and improve the competitiveness of their own products, independent brands are also constantly innovating, upgrading and evolving, and the Yidong PLUS and Geely Emgrand that will be explained in this issue is one of them. Recently, I have received private messages from many friends: the budget is about 90,000 yuan, what should I do with the 2022 Yidong PLUS and the fourth-generation Geely Emgrand? Today I will use this question to make a deep comparison.

First learn about the basic information of these two cars. The 2022 PLUS was launched in May this year. The current market guide price is 72,900-103,900 yuan. 6 configuration models are available for selection, of which 4 are 1.6L self-priming power, and the other 2 are 1.4T Blue Whale Power. The fourth-generation Emgrand was first launched in August last year and is currently priced at 69,900-88,900 yuan. It also offers 6 configuration models to choose from, but the entire series is 1.5L power. It is not difficult to see that Geely Emgrand is selling at a lower price, but there are still prices overlapping ranges, so competition in the market is inevitable. This issue will take Yidong's 2022 PLUS Blue Whale NE 1.4T GDI DCT premium model (guided price of 93,900 yuan) and Emgrand 2022 4th generation 1.5L CVT flagship model (guided price of 88,900 yuan) as examples to see who is better? The following are referred to as Yidong PLUS and , Dihao , respectively.

appearance part, Yidong PLUS and Emhao are created with different design styles, each with its own highlights. In the front part, Yidong PLUS adopts a light-shading progressive grille design, connected to the headlights on both sides, making the front face look more layered. There is also a large-size triangular air intake below, and the front lines are sharp. In addition, the addition of through-type LED headlights makes the entire front of the car more sporty. The Emgrand adopts the latest family-style appearance design, with the straight waterfall air intake grille design and chrome trim, which has a bit of "Xiao Xingrui" déjà vu. Combined with the black logo and the more rounded front face lines, it looks a bit mature and stable.

Yidong PLUS length, width and height have reached 4730x1820x1505mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, while the length, width and height of Emgrand is 4638x1820x1460mm, and the wheelbase is 2650mm. From the data point of view, Yidong PLUS has a greater advantage over Emgrand. Therefore, from the perspective of the real car, the Yidong PLUS should look slender and taller. The blackened B-pillar and streamlined waistline design are used in the Yidong PLUS model, enhancing the three-dimensional sense of the side. The emgrand waistline design is straight and regular, extending from the headlights to the taillights, making the side appear simple and capable. In addition, the front and rear tire sizes of Yidong PLUS are 205/60 R16, while the Dihao is 205/50 R17.

comes to the rear. Both cars are relatively simple in the rear design, but Yiidong PLUS adopts a through-type taillight group design and a chrome-plated hidden exhaust layout, which still brings enough recognition. The Dihao connected the taillights on both sides with bright black trim, which is more pleasing to the eye. Overall, Yidong PLUS is slightly radical in design style and highlights the sense of sportiness, while Emgrand focuses on home use and prefers a mature and steady style in design. Of course, whoever you like depends on your own perspective.

interior design has always been the strength of domestic independent brands, and of course, the two cars of Yiidong PLUS and Dihao are no exception. First of all, Yidong PLUS adopts a surround cockpit layout, with a regular and simple interior. The dual 10.25-inch central control large screen and LCD instrument are connected to the screen design, which seems to be a bit "outrageous" for a model priced at only 93,900 yuan. At the same time, the new Incall 3.0S intelligent interactive system is built-in, which is relatively rich in functionality.The door panel and center console area are wrapped with a large amount of soft material, which makes the overall combination more technological.

and Empress also takes a sense of technology as the main route, but uses different design methods to express it. The 10.25-inch central control screen adopts a suspended design and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, which has a good appearance effect. In addition, the center console is designed relatively regularly, only a small part of the physical key design is retained, and the rest of the functions will be completed by screen operations. It is worth mentioning that the interior atmosphere of the double color combination looks fashionable and is relatively rare among models of the same price. However, the simplified fabric wrapped in some areas of the car has average performance in terms of workmanship and materials.
In the car configuration, both cars are equipped with keyless entry of the main driver's seat, keyless start, built-in dash recorder, GPS navigation system, navigation road condition information display, Bluetooth/ car phone , vehicle networking, OTA upgrade and voice recognition control system. However, Yidong PLUS is also equipped with remote startup and original mobile phone interconnection, so in terms of functionality and entertainment, Yidong PLUS is more abundant.

space, thanks to the wheelbase of 2700mm and the body height of 1505mm, Yiidong PLUS has a relatively abundant space performance. From the specific riding point of view, taking passengers with a height of 1.78 meters as an example, adjust the front row to the appropriate position, and sit in the rear row, there is still 4 fingers left in the head space, and there is still 1 punch and 4 fingers left in the legs. Since Emgrand does not have the advantage in size, he suffers from space. He sits in the back row of Emgrand, only 3 fingers left in the head space, and the remaining space on his legs is close to 1 punch, which can only be said to be sufficient.

power, Yiidong PLUS is equipped with a power combination of 1.4T turbocharged engine + 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission , with a maximum power of 118kW, a peak torque of 260N·m, and a comprehensive NEDC fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The Emgrand is still equipped with a powertrain of a 1.5L self-priming + CVT continuously variable transmission, with a maximum power of 84kW, a peak torque of 147N·m, and a comprehensive WLTC fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. Therefore, from the actual experience, Yidong PLUS has a good performance in terms of explosive power. The engine and the gearbox are in harmony, and the overall adjustment style is more sporty. The power output of Dihao is still mainly smooth for household use, and the explosive power is relatively average.
In terms of driving assistance configuration, three driving modes: rear parking radar, 540° panoramic image, cruise control, automatic parking , uphill assistance, sports/ESCO/standard comfort are installed on both models. However, Yidong PLUS has additional engine start-stop technology, which will be helpful to the fuel economy of the vehicle.

Overall, the two cars are very sharp in terms of configuration, and it is difficult to distinguish between the two cars, but in terms of body size, space and power, Yidong PLUS still has obvious advantages, but we have to consider that the price of Yidong PLUS will be about 5,000 yuan more expensive than Dihao. This price gap will bring a larger body size and stronger power. I personally think it is worth it. In fact, both Emgrand and Yidong PLUS are very popular A-class family sedans, and the one we chose today is the top-end one. In other words, Emgrand should actually be models with a volume of 80,000 or less. As for the budget of 90,000 or even higher, then Yidong PLUS is still more worth choosing.
