Changan Eado

As a 188cm tall, 155kg driver, I find the Changan Eado quite spacious with no headroom issues and ample rear space. My girlfriend drove it home; the standard mode had a jumpy throttle, so we switched to Eco. The front seats are comfortable. A full tank cost around 340 yuan, showing 764km range. It looks stylish, similar to the 25th model V. For its price, there's nothing to complain about—configurations are sufficient.

For my Changan Eado, fuel consumption is slightly high: with 1000 yuan spent on fuel (7.31 yuan/L), I've driven 1632 km and the dashboard shows 256 km remaining, but actual range is around 70% of that. Calculated, it's about 7.9 L/100 km (≈0.59 yuan/km) for half highway and half national road driving.

Power performance is impressive for a 1.4T engine—acceleration and overtaking are easy. I rarely use Sport mode due to high revs and loud engine noise; Normal mode suffices, and Eco mode helps save fuel on smooth roads with light acceleration.

My main complaints: no auto-locking when leaving the car (often forget to lock with hands full; phone app can't lock beyond Bluetooth range—hoping for retrofitting or software solutions). Also lacks trip info stats (can't view start time, mileage, fuel consumption together per trip); older models had this, which was fun for optimizing fuel efficiency and driving time.

I am satisfied with my Changan Eado. Its 4.7m+ length, 1.84m width and 2765mm wheelbase provide ample space; with me (170cm) in the driver's seat, there's 2 fists of legroom upfront and over 1.5 fists in the back, and the trunk easily fits 2 large suitcases plus 2 packs of 24-bottle water. The 1.5T 170hp engine delivers responsive acceleration in urban and highway driving, though needs warm-up in -13℃ winters. The soft-tuned chassis handles well on good roads but has noticeable bumps on rough ones; steering is light, and cornering with pre-deceleration shows little suspension tilt. Seats are comfortable for long rides, the sound system is good, and navigation is clear.国道 speeds above 60km/h bring obvious noise, manageable with music. Fuel economy is good: 200 yuan fills 420+ km (under 0.5 yuan/km) on smooth provincial/national roads; urban拥堵 sees 8-9L/100km. I prefer ECO mode for faster shifting despite 2-second throttle delay. Basic maintenance costs ~400 yuan, with annual air/AC filter replacement. The interior features leather seats, a 13.2-inch中控 screen, 6 airbags, and auto AC. I appreciate the responsive "Xiao An" assistant for 360° camera (useful for new drivers), collision warning, automatic emergency braking, L1 ADAS with full-speed ACC, and auto-folding mirrors. Areas for improvement: no in-car trunk switch (must use P挡 and rear logo button), navigation lacks cruise red light countdown, and no auto-recirculation when locked.
