Before this comparison, there must be a basic concept, is that these two cars are 5-6 million yuan price point of the model, although now more popular, but due to cost constraints, more or less there will be some shortcomings, since we chose this price point of the model, for some of the workmanship is not fine enough on the place should be in mind, so in the article on this aspect of the comparison.
● Appearance Comparison: Tongyue more gentle, Yuexiang more masculine
Car and people like, character is often and it is located in the geographical characteristics of the inextricable link, such as the southern people of the gentle and elegant and the northern people of the atmosphere of bold. The Tongyue's manufacturer, JAC, is located in Anhui province, so it has a similar softness in its design to that of southerners.
This character is reflected in specific details, including the U-shaped curve of the front bumper, the rounded roof shape, the thick rear design and the unique style of the taillights. Although Tongyue's body is small, its smooth and slightly lively exterior design is still very capable of capturing the hearts of some consumers.
Yuexiang's production company is in Chongqing, a place on the Yangtze River where spicy hot pots are everywhere, so the cars they design are as dry and fast as their character, basically with straight lines, long and flat, compared to the Tongyue, which is a completely different style.
But Changan, which has experience in producing sedans with Mazda, Suzuki and Volvo, is still slightly richer than JAC, and has incorporated more popular elements into its appearance, such as headlights with lenses on a black background, turn signals on the mirrors, and black-and-white taillights.
While the appearance of the two cars is better or worse because of the different aesthetics of each person, but it is undeniable that these two cars are the type of appearance will not be boring, and there is no too obvious traces of imitation, in their appearance design, we see that the independent brand manufacturers in the gradual maturity of the consumer has also given them full attention.
●Interior Comparison: Continuing the style of the exterior
The unity of style between the interior and the exterior is something that every car should do, and both cars do a good job in this regard. The interior of the Tongyue is as elegant as the exterior, while the interior of the Yuexiang is as atmospheric as the exterior (compared to other small cars).
We won't go into more detail about their interiors, but a few details are more convincing. The biggest highlight of the Tongyue's interior is the three-dimensional orange dashboard, inspired by the Camry, and it works quite well, and the next best thing is the air-conditioning knob's silver-colored decorative panel, which resembles a masquerade eyepatch.
But one thing I don't really like is the Tongyue's steering wheel, which is just a bit too big in shape and takes up all the space in front of the driver, when it could have been made a bit more compact.
Yuexiang's instrumentation is not as good as the Tongyue's, but it looks pretty good, with a silver decorative panel separating the upper and lower parts of the center console, and a three-spoke steering wheel that feels good and is a good size, and the Tongyue's knob-type air conditioning that's easy to operate, making the entire center console feel more holistic.
Because they are both low-cost small cars, both use hard plastics for the center console and door panels, which we can't fault, and the workmanship is above average for this price range, so as long as you're not too picky, you'll be able to live with it.
The two cars also share an interesting design, which is the 360-degree rotatable circular air vents, which are both aesthetically pleasing and practical.
● Comparison of storage space: the sparrow is small, all the organs
The two cars in the car storage space has its own merits, with the Hyatt center console can provide two standard cup holders, but the Hyatt has only a mobile ashtray position can be put a cup of water, but the Hyatt next to the handbrake of the storage space is a lot richer than the same Hyatt. The passenger glove box space is about the same in both cars, but the Tongyue's glove box has two levels and is more efficiently utilized.
Additionally both cars offer only one cup holder for rear passengers at the same time. But the Yuexiang's rear door panels also have storage slots for cup holders, which is a lot better than the Tongyue's bare rear door panels. Both cars have storage slots in the front door panels, but the Yuexiang has a dedicated drink holder.
And the Yuexiang also has a storage slot under the steering wheel for umbrellas and the like, which is useful!
Let's take a look at their trunks again. In addition to volume data, there are important factors that measure the practicality of the trunk, such as the size of the opening, the height from the ground, and the height of the opening with the front, etc., and we have taken detailed measurements of these data.
First of all, the trunk opening height above the ground and the depth of the opening, although these two data for the volume does not have a great impact, but in the daily use of the time is directly related to the convenience, just imagine, if a very high car trunk, this time no matter whether you want to pick up the large heavy baggage to put it in or take it out, is a very painful thing, so the trunk opening the lower the better, the opening depth is also the best, and the more the trunk opening is the better, and the opening depth is also the better. So the lower the trunk opening, the better, and the lower the depth of the opening, the better.
These two data are both Yuexiang win, proving that it in the design of the time to fully consider the convenience of using the trunk, then the loading capacity who is more powerful? Tongyue trunk volume data for 458 liters, and Yuexiang reached 550 liters, but the volume is not the only measure of the ability to load large luggage, the size of the trunk opening is also an important indicator, in this regard, the two cars have reached 100cm, there is not much difference. The rear seats of the two cars have a proportional put down function, put down the significance of the reality is that you can load long luggage items, but the size of the opening directly limits the ability to load the size of long luggage, and height is the most important limiting factor, so we measured the two cars after the seats are put down to the luggage compartment of the height of the opening for comparison.
The Yuexiang also won by a relatively large margin. I don't know if it's because the size of the car itself is larger than the Tongyue, or because it was designed to be more user-friendly than the Tongyue, but the result is that the Yuexiang outperforms the Tongyue in terms of both storage space and trunk space.
● Ride space comparison:
In the past, when we compare the front and rear space, we generally use the head, leg space a few punches, a few fingers, such a relatively vague and inaccurate concept to measure, but taking into account that the two cars are small cars, the difference will not be very big, so in order to be able to more accurately illustrate the problem, I decided to disregard the image of the head, put a big book on the head to measure the head space from the roof, so it is obvious that the head space will be a little more than a few feet. I put a big book on my head to measure the headroom from the roof, which is obviously more convincing than "a fist".
3000> Body Yuexiang 1.5MT Basic Tongyue 1.3L Standard
Length (mm): 4360 4155
Width (mm): 1710 1650
Height (mm): 1475 1465
Wheelbase (mm): 2515 2410
Wheelbase (mm): 2515 2410
Wheelbase (mm): 2515 2410
In terms of front headroom, Tongyue's front seats do not have a height adjustment function, and after we adjusted the seat height of Yuexiang appropriately, Yuexiang has a relatively large advantage.
The wheelbase of Yuexiang is 10.5 centimeters longer than that of Tongyue, so it's natural that the rear legroom is longer than that of Tongyue, but the actual measurements show that the difference between the two cars' rear space is not very big, which may be related to the layout and thickness of the seats. The head space of the two cars are not generous, although Yuexiang has a certain advantage, but more than 1.8 meters of passengers are still prone to "touch the top" of the situation.
Another important factor that affects the rear space is the length of the cushion, in this regard, the two cars are more than 45 centimeters, but did not reach 50 centimeters, although there is a 1-centimeter gap, but it is almost negligible. But Yuexiang in the high end models have leather seats, while the Tongyue all only velvet seats.
Overall the comfort of the two cars is relatively close, but Yuexiang due to the body of the larger, in the car space in each of the data are slightly better than the same with the Hyatt, if the space requirements are particularly strong, Yuexiang has a relatively large advantage. Although Tongyue has been on the market for some time, but the three-door model is still only a comfortable model, priced at 52,800 yuan, if the optional aluminum wheels for 53,800 yuan. Manufacturers of the Comfort model in the actual configuration than the published configuration table to more reverse radar, front fog lamps, passenger airbags three-box configuration, but the guide price has not risen, so from this point of view, then still relatively generous.
Yuexiang's price gave us a big surprise, the price of the lowest model is only 53,900 yuan, than the optional aluminum wheels with the same Yue Yue only 100 yuan, so the two cars are very comparable:
30,000> Configuration Yuexiang 1.5MT basic with the same Yue 1.3L Comfort
Price (yuan): 5.39 5.38
Price (yuan): 5.39 5.38
Driver seat safety: 5.39 5.38
Driver seat safety: 5.39 5.38
The driver's seat safety is not a problem. p>

Through the above comparisons, we find that the smaller Tongyue takes up quite a bit of slack in terms of configuration, especially the dual airbags, ABS+EBD safety features compared to Yueyue. EBD safety features are much higher than Yuexiang. But such a comparison may not be fair to Yuexiang, if the budget can be raised by another 2,000 yuan to buy the Comfort model, Yuexiang can achieve ABS + EBD and driver airbags, and on the basis of the Comfort model to raise the budget of 3,000 yuan, you can also get additional passenger airbags, aluminum wheels and multi-function steering wheel.
● Power comparison: no comparison for now
Why is power not comparable for now? Tongyue now only produces 1.3 engine models, although the configuration list has 1.5 models, but we did not see this car in the dealership, and Yuexiang has only 1.5 engine a power, so a direct comparison of the power performance of the two engines is obviously very unfair to Tongyue, but this does not prevent us from putting their data together to look at: engine Yuexiang 1.5MT basic Tongyue 1.3L Comfort

Car home on the two cars have been tested, the test data are as follows, you can see that Yuexiang acceleration ability is stronger than the same with the Yue, and the same with the Yue's braking performance is slightly better:
