It's like a picture of "more than 3,000 armour can swallow Wu". However, we are familiar with the following story. From 20 18, the automobile market in China began to enter the cold winter, and in 2020, it was hit by an epidemic. Major automobile companies are struggling to walk under the double pressure, and the journey of their own brands has also been "suddenly braked". According to official statistics, the market share of independent brands fell to 33.5% in the first half of this year, the lowest in the past decade, which means that it returned to the period before liberation overnight.
However, despite the difficult environment, many hard-core car companies have risen against the trend, and Changan Automobile is a typical representative. In September this year, the sales volume of Changan China brand cars reached 153039, up by 3 1.9% year-on-year. Yidong PLUS performed exceptionally well, with cumulative sales exceeding 654.38+10,000 vehicles in the first half of the year, making it a well-deserved leader in national cars.
The launch of Changan Yidong PLUS is the key of Changan Automobile in the A-class car market. The main bidding models are SAIC Volkswagen LaVida and Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy, which rank in the top two in automobile sales all the year round.
So for consumers, if they want to start with an A-class family car, how can they choose from these three cars?
First of all, in terms of appearance, the author has always followed the principle of "carrots and vegetables have their own love". If we summarize the above three cars in one sentence, I think it should be "Yidong PLUS is the most fashionable, elegant and updated, and LaVida insists on itself".
Specifically, Yidong PLUS completely follows the classic design of Chang 'an PLUS family, with dignified and elegant "high-gloss stratus" grille and dynamic "whale Xinghai" grille, which are dynamic and charming, while the taillight design at the rear of the car keeps up with the current trend and is fashionable.
On the other hand, LaVida is still the design style of the classic Volkswagen family. A large area of chrome-plated air intake grille is full of the whole front face, and the clever body design really makes the author not interested in describing it. Of course, it can't kill its appearance with a stick. What if the buyer is a stable public powder?
Let's take a look at the difference in configuration. Top-of-the-line Yidong PLUS only needs 65,438+003,900 yuan to earn, while 65,438+003,900 yuan can only be bought by Lavida's 1.5L manual fashion version and Sylphy's 1.6XE? The comfortable version of CVT (still under the premise of market concessions) is really embarrassing. At the configuration level, there are huge differences among the three. The top-mounted Yidong PLUS has a mainstream dual 10.25-inch display with a red and black interior design. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "high-end atmosphere".
On the other hand, Yidong PLUS originated from the heyday of the domestic Internet, and the in-vehicle intelligent technology is very avant-garde. The built-in intelligent companion AI Xiaoan can act as the driver's in-car companion, including voice control, active braking, 360-degree panoramic image, car networking, OTA upgrade and so on. It is equipped with.
On the other hand, the lowest models of LaVida and Sylphy (1 12900 and1/9000 respectively) directly omit the design of the central control panel (with only 7 inches and 8 inches), let alone expect intelligent configuration. In terms of practical configuration, there is also a big gap compared with Yidong PLUS, as well as rear parking radar and reversing images.
Finally, let's talk about the powertrain that everyone is most concerned about. The top with Yidong PLUS adopts Blue Whale NE independently developed by Changan. 1.4T high-pressure direct injection engine is matched with 7DCT, which can output the maximum power 1 16kW and the maximum torque is 260 N m. It is no exaggeration to say that this powertrain can be called the "domestic light" in recent two years. Produced on the first modular Blue Whale NE platform in China, the transmission efficiency of 7DCT has reached an astonishing 94. The HR 16+CVT power combination of Nissan Sylphy has been used for 16 years, with a maximum power of only 99kW and a peak torque of159 kW. . Volkswagen LaVida's EA211(1.5L) engine is an "old man in the market", with a maximum power of 83kW and a peak torque of145 N m, and its combat effectiveness is slightly insufficient.
It is not difficult to see from the article that the author's writing style is still biased towards Yi Yi PLUS, which is of course objectively demonstrated. Although Yidong PLUS is superior in product strength, in the history of global automobile industry development, Volkswagen and Nissan have performed better and become more famous. Excellent brand power is an important reason why these two cars have always maintained the forefront of sales.
But in any case, the author always believes that with the continuous progress of self-owned brand car-making technology and the increasingly clear high-end route, they will eventually stand on the top of the world. Judging from the performance of high-quality domestic cars such as Yidong PLUS, we are worth looking forward to.
