The new Changan Eado features a 2.7-meter wheelbase, offering more legroom in the rear than the Roewe i5 in the same price range (about half a fist's width more). Its 500L trunk is spacious enough to comfortably fit a stroller horizontally and two cases of bottled water, a significant improvement over the older Used Cars where passengers could only sit upright. The 1.4T Blue Whale version achieves 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds, making overtaking in the city a breeze, while maintaining a stable fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. Over 20,000 kilometers a year, fuel costs are equivalent to a maintenance card saved compared to a similarly mileaged commercial vehicle.
The cabin boasts a standard 10.25-inch dual-screen setup, and a 540° transparent chassis provides a clear view of parking garage steps. Voice control is zone-specific, allowing the passenger to adjust the airflow without affecting the driver's comfort. The L2-level lane keeping assist and full-speed following function ensure smooth stopping and starting in highway traffic, requiring less effort than driving a manual Used Car and more easily navigating markets than a large commercial van.
The vehicle comes with a four-year/100,000-kilometer warranty, a lifetime warranty on the engine's core components for the first owner, OTA updates overnight, and parking memory functionality that grows quietly like tree rings. In the used car market, its residual value can still be reduced by 60% after three years, making it more resilient to depreciation than Other Used Cars of the same year. It doesn't haul heavy loads or rely on gimmicks like 0-100 km/h acceleration; it's simply a reliable, spacious, well-equipped, and economical family sedan. Perfect for commuting, picking up kids, and weekend getaways, a tank of 92-octane gasoline steadily covers your daily needs.
