The project was launched in December 2008 and the first model was released in March 2012. Changan Yidong has been around for eight years. For eight years in the Chinese auto market, Yidong has occupied a large share of independent brand cars with high cost performance. It can be said that it is a group of joint ventures Langyi, Xuanyi, Yinglang, and Cruze, and it is the only choice of Emperor GL.

East Power has launched a new model under the name Plus. The pre-sale of the new car was launched, with a pre-sale price of 72,900-39,900, which is almost in sync with the current guide price, and is still targeted at the people.

What’s different from cash

From the information released by the pre-sale conference, the main difference between the new model and the current model is the appearance and interior details.

First of all, the new headlights are integrated into the grille. The shape of the mid-net has also changed. The original “spindle” has narrowed the bottom. The new mid-net is more like a trapezoid, gradually losing Lexus’s shadow. There are two kinds of internal styles in the mid-net. The naturally aspirated version is chrome-plated horizontally, while the turbine version does not use chrome-plating and uses the so-called “whale star sea” shape. The brake air intake on both sides of the mid-net has also further changed, the size has become larger and more sporty.

At the rear, the taillights are “thinned down”. The two lights are connected in series by chrome strips, forming a through-type visually, and the width lights on the rear bumper also become vertical. The most obvious change is the position of the license plate. This part has been moved from the trunk position to the bottom bumper.on. Also relegated are the reversing lights that were originally integrated into the tail lights. Overall, the rear light layout is more regular and eye-catching.

In the interior, the original mechanical instrument was replaced with a liquid crystal and integrated with the central control. The size of both screens is 10.25 inches, and the resolution of the central control screen is 1920 × 720. In addition, the new Emotion Plus integrates AC switches and fan knobs. Click on and off AC, and rotate the fan to adjust the size. As for the temperature adjustment, I don’t see the physical switch, it may be integrated into the screen.

The previous dual knobs became single knobs. Although the integration is higher and the driver’s operation is more convenient, the original symmetrical design was broken at once, and it was partially unbalanced. Fortunately, the overall design of the center console is tilted by 10 ° like the driver. The overall symmetrical design has escaped from the original symmetrical layout, so it has little effect.

There is also an improvement in the quality of the center control buttons. The original plastic buttons have been made into black piano keys, and the narrow gears have become wider. Changan also gave Yidong Plus a panoramic sunroof of nearly 0.8 square meters, which can be opened and closed through the passage. Changan said that this is the first time that a large-scale sunroof of the same class car is equipped with such a sunroof.

Same as cash

Compared to current models, the new suspension form and powertrain have no book changes. The suspension still uses the combination of the front McPherson rear torsion beam, which is also the formula commonly used at this price; for the power, the Emotion Plus still uses the previous 1.6L + Aisin6AT and 1.4T + seven-speed dual clutch.

Self-priming version, maximum power 94kW, maximum torque 161Nm; turbine version, peak power 116kW, peak torque 260Nm; power parameters remain unchanged from current models.

The intelligence level is pretty good

Yidong Plus is equipped with a Bluetooth key for mobile phones. The owner can open and lock the car through the mobile phone, and at the same time can share permissions to others remotely. For the car, both Android and IOS support screen casting. The traffic of this part of the car system is officially stated that the basic traffic is free for life, and online music and radio are free for five years.

In the car, users can control multimedia functions such as navigation, sunroof, car window, air conditioner, temperature, telephone through voice, and search weather and information. It is understood that the current level of this voice system can ask questions and interrupt at any time, and supports the modification of wake-up words.

Drive assistance, Emotion Plus is equipped with:

PAB early warning auxiliary braking system: the earliest alarm can be issued 1.4 seconds in advance, and active braking according to the degree of danger;

Stop-and-go full-speed adaptive cruise: Supports following vehicles to stop and start, can cruise at a set speed (30-150km / h), and realize automatic speed control to control the distance when there is a vehicle;

360 ° surrounding driving recorder: no dead angles are monitored around the vehicle while driving.

Interestingly, in addition to environmentally-friendly VOC testing of raw materials and parts, Changan also said that Yidong Plus is equipped with PM0.1 class composite antibacterial and antiviral filters, which can filter 95% of particles ≥0.3µm, which is comparable to N95 masks. . At the same time, the fresh air system and self-cleaning air conditioners in the new car are working for the health of the air in the car.

For this Yidong Plus, Changan also has a proud configuration that is equipped with an automatic sensor tailgate as standard.

In summary, this modification of Yidong Plus is quite satisfactory. For eight years, Yidong has still maintained its vitality, and its rich models such as Yidong Plus, Yidong DT, Yidong XT, and Yidong ET have covered different power forms such as naturally aspirated, turbocharged and pure electric Generation Emotion is also talked about by young consumers with excellent driving control experience.
