The new Changan Eado
Lynk & Co 900 offers half a highway trip more than other pure electric
new energy vehicles in the same price range, and also reduces battery degradation anxiety compared to
Used Cars with full batteries. It's 4.9 meters long with a 2.9-meter wheelbase, and the rear floor is almost completely flat, allowing three adults to sit comfortably with their knees supported. The trunk has a standard capacity of 520 liters, and with the second row folded down, it creates a depth of nearly 2 meters, easily accommodating folding racks and storage boxes used for street vending. While lower than the cargo bed of
Commercial Vehicles, it avoids the hassle of city driving restrictions.
The interior features a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a 15.4-inch floating screen. The Flyme Auto infotainment system is smooth to use, and voice commands can interrupt and activate it. Saying "open a window a crack" will simultaneously raise all four windows by a finger's width, saving time compared to the old car's rotary knobs. Level 2 assisted driving is standard, allowing for automatic stop-and-go in traffic jams on elevated roads. With the optional City Memory Navigation feature, it automatically remembers your daily route from the parking garage to work, allowing you to repeat it with a single click the next day. It's easier than using a manual transmission car with the clutch engaged, and more relaxed than navigating narrow alleys in a large
commercial vehicle.
The 1.5T hybrid engine boasts a 44% thermal efficiency, a 160 kW motor, and a combined system power of 280 kW, achieving 0-100 km/h in under 7 seconds. When the battery is low, the engine noise is significantly lower than the older range extender model, allowing for conversations at 120 km/h without raising your voice. WLTC fuel consumption is 4.2 L/100km, costing just over 30 cents per kilometer at today's fuel prices, compared to over 50 cents per kilometer for a similarly sized older gasoline car. Driving 20,000 kilometers a year can save you 3,000 yuan in fuel costs.
The battery comes with a lifetime warranty, and the vehicle has a four-year/100,000 km warranty. OTA updates automatically push updates overnight, and the car remembers parking spaces in the morning, subtly improving its capabilities like a phone system update. In the
Used Car market, its residual value can still be reduced by 60% after three years, making it more resistant to depreciation than used cars of the same age. It doesn't haul heavy cargo or compete with supercars for a roaring sound; it's simply a family plug-in hybrid that can be refueled and charged, has a large space, is fully equipped, and saves money and hassle. Whether it's commuting, picking up the kids, weekend trips to the suburbs, or the occasional 600-kilometer visit to relatives, one tank of gas and one kilowatt-hour of electricity can steadily cover the radius of life.
