Hi, 1.4T Changan Yidong PLUS, the landing price is 94,000, which is not expensive, is it?
In recent years, my life has gradually entered the right track, and several major events in my life have been successfully completed. Falling in love, getting married, buying a house and having children, everything makes me feel very happy, and of course buying a car is the same. When I first got married, I didn’t feel how important a private car was, but when my daughter-in-law became pregnant, she often had to go to the hospital for examination. At this time, it was inconvenient to take the bus, especially in case of an emergency at night, it was more convenient to have a private car, so buying a car was gradually put on the agenda.
After we got married, we also saved some money with our daughter-in-law, and with the support of our parents, we can still afford to buy a 100,000-class family sedan. Moreover, my daughter-in-law and I have the same opinion. How much money we have to buy a car at what price? There is no need to pay a down payment to save face and buy a relatively expensive model. Carrying a heavy loan on your back puts you under a lot of pressure, which is not worth the loss.
It happened that we had a local auto show in May. After doing our homework online, we went to see the car with our daughter-in-law. The models we are mainly concerned about are Nissan, Volkswagen, Volkswagen, Changan PLUS and New China. It took us nearly one morning to read all the models, and the feeling is still very deep after the comparison. Nowadays, there is no doubt that the workmanship of domestic cars and Yan value joint venture brands can’t be compared at all. Then, the price of domestic cars is more advantageous. At the same price, you can choose the top match for domestic cars, but the joint venture car can only buy automatic low gear or manual gear.
At this time, my heart has been more inclined to domestic cars, especially my daughter-in-law, because she is a face value control. After that, I asked a few friends who drive domestic cars, and they all said that there is nothing wrong with the three major parts of domestic cars now, and it is meaningless to buy a 1.5L joint venture car with a budget of 100,000 yuan. Buying Changan PLUS, a domestic car, can choose the 1.4T version, and the power performance is quite good. In particular, a friend who runs Changan CS75 PLUS strongly recommended Changan brand to me, saying that it is absolutely worth the money.
After that, I was a little hesitant to buy a new one or Changan PLUS, just in time to catch up with the 2022 PLUS update. The new car added penetrating taillights, transparent chassis, automatic parking and other functions, and also replaced it with an electronic gear handle, and the cup holder area next to it was designed to look better. PLUS, there is only 1.5L version, so I finally decided to start with Plus.
Let’s share the car purchase price. I bought the 1.4T Premium Edition, with a final cash discount of 7,000 yuan. All the expenses add up to a landing price of 94,000 yuan. The 4S shop gave me a scratch insurance for one year and four basic maintenance for two years. This is the lowest price I can get. I don’t know if it is expensive.
Buying a new car is as enjoyable as marrying a bride. However, I was questioned by a neighbor. From his words, I obviously felt the meaning of looking down on domestic cars. When he saw me bring my new car home, he asked me how much it cost, and I told him truthfully. He said that he spent more than 90,000 yuan, so why not add a little money to buy one? Now the new model is a little more expensive, but you can buy the classic model, but it’s not worthwhile to buy it with a loan. At that time, I really saw the 1.5L automatic transmission with low gear, which gave me the feeling that it was shabby from the inside out. The bare car price of about 100 thousand had no function, and the interior was similar to that of a taxi, so I really couldn’t get it. I don’t know how to get a sense of superiority when buying it.
What this neighbor bought was a 1.4T model. At that time, the landing price seemed to be more than 140,000, which was still bought by loan. Now he has to pay more than 2,000 yuan a month, and the economic situation is currently sluggish. Now it is rare for him to drive when he goes out. Isn’t it sweet to change the monthly repayment amount into gas? So I told him that I bought a car to enjoy the model rather than the logo, and left after a few pleasantries.
I picked up my car in early June and have been driving for three months. Let’s share my feelings about using the car. First of all, the more I drive, the more I feel that I bought it right. Now my Changan PLUS is parked with those joint venture cars of the same level, and I always feel more elegant. The length, width and height of Changan PLUS are 4,730× 1,820× 1,505 mm and the wheelbase is 2,700 mm, but the length of this car is less than 4.7 meters, so the body of Changan PLUS is more slender and the interior space is more spacious. The shape of the new car is particularly exquisite, and the front and rear are equipped with penetrating light groups. The recognition of running on the road at night is also quite high, which is very high-grade.
When Changan CS75 PLUS first came out, I was particularly infatuated with its interior. Now it is a dream to buy Changan PLUS. The workmanship and materials used in the interior of this car are very much to my taste, and the car system responds quickly. The voice recognition system is really easy to use. When driving, you don’t need to be distracted, and you can control the skylight air conditioner and other equipment by voice. I used to feel that voice controls chicken ribs, but now it feels very practical. Moreover, this car is also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image and a transparent chassis function. Although it feels a bit flashy, it is also practical, especially for novice drivers like my daughter-in-law and I, which really avoids many scratching accidents for us, and the camera definition is quite good. There are few such clear images in 200,000 joint venture cars.
I feel that the power performance of 1.4T Changan PLUS is not lost to that of 1.4T. In terms of parameters, this 1.4t Blue Whale engine can output 160 horsepower and 260N·m peak torque, and the book data is also better. Moreover, PLUS is matched with a wet dual-clutch gearbox, and 92 # gasoline can be added. With the difference of 30,000 to 40,000, I feel that I have bought a treasure.
Of course, to be honest, the shortcomings of this car are also objective. First of all, the fuel consumption performance can only be said to be average. I live in a small third-tier city, and the road conditions are not particularly congested. At present, the average fuel consumption of 3000km is 7.6 liters, which is really not as good as that of a joint venture car. Then the texture of the chassis is a little worse, not four-wheel independent suspension, so the comfort is average when crossing the bumpy road. But on the whole, Changan Yidong PLUS has a good cost performance and is definitely worth buying.
I like to mention Changan PLUS, but it is looked down upon by the driver. Everyone has different values. Besides, I really feel that the joint venture car is not high-end, which is just people’s traditional thinking. Today’s 100,000-class domestic cars are really fragrant, at least Changan PLUS is like this.
