Yang Dayong, Executive Vice President of Changan Automobile, stated at the launch of the fourth-generation Yidong during the 5th Changan Technology Ecosystem Conference that Changan Automobile (V brand) will fully manufacture "intelligent energy-saving vehicles."

The fourth-generation Eado has been launched in three configuration models: 500Bar Jinxiang, 500Bar Yuexiang, and 500Bar Zhixiang, with prices ranging from 87,900 to 99,900 yuan. After applying the cash discount, the limited-time launch price starts from 72,900 yuan.

Since its debut in 2012, the Yidong has consistently been developed as a "national family sedan that ordinary people can afford and use well." It has iterated and grown over time, becoming the trusted choice of 1.9 million users. At the same time, based on Changan Automobile's CA-TVS extreme verification system, the Yidong has completed a total of 4 million kilometers of testing, equivalent to circling the Earth 100 times, establishing a reputation for quality. Today, the Yidong series is sold in 101 countries and regions worldwide, with a new user joining the Yidong family every 3 minutes on average. From Saudi Arabia to Mexico, the presence of the Yidong can be seen everywhere.

From the original dream of a national family sedan to confidently driving across the globe, the current Yidong is not just a car; it is a symbol of the rise of independent brands in this era, a faithful companion for millions of families pursuing a better life, and a pinnacle masterpiece that showcases Chinese automobiles to the world.

In the current global automotive market, fuel power remains the "greatest common divisor" of domestic and international user demand, while users also have higher expectations for family cars. Thus, the fourth-generation Yidong, a truly high-quality intelligent fuel-powered family sedan designed for the global market, has emerged. It inherits the DNA of the Yidong family, from its youthful and dynamic appearance, to its comfortable and intelligent interior, and reliable and efficient performance. With comprehensively evolved leading product strength, it meets the most core product needs of users.

The fourth-generation Yidong interprets the new benchmark of global intelligent family sedans with its "Boundless Dimensions" design aesthetics. The flowing light-sculpted body features a golden architecture with a short 895mm front overhang and a long 1125mm rear overhang, combined with a low front and high rear diving posture, creating a dynamic silhouette with strong visual impact. Additionally, the fourth-generation Yidong offers a sporty wind-driving electric rear spoiler (available on certain configurations), paired with a V-wave ripple front grille, sporty wide rear design, and 18-inch blazing light blade wheels (available on certain configurations). Through the perfect unity of power and elegance, it breaks the traditional family sedan stereotype with a sharp and imposing demeanor.

To meet the diverse aesthetic needs of different users, the fourth-generation Yidong offers three premium metallic paint colors: Andes Gray (fashion color), Shining Ice Crystal White (classic color), and Yicai Blue (individualistic color), all utilizing the "Three Coats Two Bakes" (3C2B) spraying process. The car body undergoes a meticulous 8-layer coating spray, resulting in a uniformly fine and flawless transparent finish. With an ultra-thick 70-micron clear coat, it resists sun exposure and rain, maintaining its original luster over time and ensuring the Yidong’s high-quality appearance never fades.

The fourth-generation Yidong is equipped with the intelligent new Blue Whale 3.0 power system, featuring the world's first 500Bar ultra-high pressure direct injection new Blue Whale 1.5T engine paired with the iEM intelligent energy management system. This offers users a powerful and fuel-efficient driving experience. In terms of performance, the fourth-generation Yidong is the only "T" power model in its class. While other products in the market are still using 1.5L or 1.6L naturally aspirated engines with peak torque hovering around 150N·m, the fourth-generation Yidong's 500Bar ultra-high pressure direct injection new Blue Whale 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power of 141kW and can output a peak torque of 310N·m at an RPM range of 1500. Whether it's starting and following in urban areas, accelerating on highways, or tackling continuous bends on mountain roads, the fourth-generation Yidong handles with ease and offers power "on demand." Production models equipped with the intelligent new Blue Whale 3.0 have repeatedly demonstrated an extreme fuel economy performance of running 1000 kilometers on a single tank, with a cost of less than 0.5 yuan per kilometer.

The fourth generation Yidong comes equipped with AI large model voice integration DeepSeek, enabling it to comprehend more complex voice demands, allowing for free conversation without memorizing commands. Whether it's academic knowledge, travel guides, or culinary delights, the fourth generation Yidong can answer all your questions, effortlessly resolving users' travel concerns. The wake-free, all-scenario intelligent voice supports 1100+ control semantics, accurately capturing and processing voice commands from both the driver and passenger seats, truly achieving "understanding what you think" intelligence. When you say "I'm a bit cold," it won't just reply "Okay," but will automatically increase the air conditioning temperature.

In addition, the fourth-generation Eado is equipped with features such as karaoke without a microphone, 50W wireless fast charging (available on select trims), 256-color ambient lighting (available on select trims), 8 speakers (available on select trims), a panoramic sunroof (available on select trims), and front seat ventilation and heating (available on select trims), offering class-leading functionality. Over 60% of the interior features soft-touch materials, while double-layer soundproof glass (available on select trims) and nearly 20 areas of sound-absorbing acoustic materials together create a quiet, comfortable, and cozy mobile home environment.

The fourth-generation Eado safeguards every journey for users with a "dual insurance" system of passive and active safety.

In terms of passive safety, the fourth-generation Yidong is equipped as standard with the "China Top Ten" Ark Cage high-strength body. The highest strength of the body steel reaches 1500 MPa, with high-strength steel accounting for 77.2%, exceeding the industry standard for 90% of sedans. Additionally, the roof panel adopts laser welding technology, with weld strength 3.6 times that of traditional spot welding, and the entire lineup comes standard with 6 airbags to maximize the protection of occupants inside the vehicle.

In terms of active safety, the fourth-generation Yidong integrates several advanced technologies. The IACC integrated adaptive cruise control (available on some configurations), LCDA lane change assist (available on some configurations), and FCW forward collision warning (available on some configurations) are among the driving assistance features that significantly reduce fatigue during long-distance driving and effectively prevent sudden risks like "ghost probes." The 540° panoramic imaging function and high-definition driving recorder can synthesize high-definition images of the surroundings and the bottom of the vehicle in real-time through multiple HD cameras around the vehicle, helping the driver better control the surrounding environment. The class-leading remote vertical parking in and out function allows new drivers to handle extremely narrow parking spaces with ease. The fourth-generation Yidong, with its active and passive safety features, comprehensively safeguards every family journey.

From its class-leading features to its astonishing price, the Changan Eado series has consistently led the mainstream gasoline sedan market. Upholding the philosophy of "Empowering Life with Technology, Eado Surpasses Expectations," the fully upgraded fourth-generation Eado once again sets a new benchmark for value in its class, offering mainstream families around the world a new choice.
