What is Changan's Eado PLUS like? Is it really that good?

Generally, it has the following shortcomings:

1. Higher fuel consumption in urban areas

The 2021 Changan Yidong PLUS is equipped with 1.6L and 1.4T respectively. For both engines, the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the vehicle is around 5.6-5.8L, but the actual fuel consumption of the vehicle driven by the owner is around 8.5-9.3L per 100 kilometers. Such fuel consumption performance is not outstanding for a compact car. The fuel economy performance still needs to be improved.

2. Transmission sluggishness at low speeds

Changan Eidong PLUS is equipped with a 5-speed manual, CVT continuously variable transmission and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The sluggishness problem mainly occurs in For 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox models, the vehicle will have an obvious sense of frustration when shifting gears at low speeds, affecting the driver's driving experience and the passenger's comfort experience.

3. The suspension shock absorption is not comfortable

Perhaps in order to take into account the production cost of the vehicle, the rear suspension of Changan Eado PLUS adopts a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Although the suspension can bring more space to the vehicle, it greatly reduces the comfort of the vehicle. There will be obvious bumps and shaking in the vehicle when passing on non-paved roads or speed bumps.
