In the first quarter, the latest Changan sedan named Yida is slated to enter sales after a period of pre-orders in China. The model rides on the Ark architecture, and pricing is expected to fall in the 110,000 to 130,000 yuan range, roughly translating to 1.2 million to 1.4 million rubles depending on market conditions. Its exterior styling leans into a modern, sporty look, featuring a frameless grille, sleek elongated headlights, and vertical air intakes that give the car a distinctive, contemporary silhouette.
When looking at the sedan’s proportions, Yida sits between some of today’s popular mid-size sedans. It is longer than certain compact models yet shorter than the conventional full-size offerings, providing a practical balance of interior space and overall footprint. The vehicle stretches 4770 millimeters in length and rides on a 2765 millimeter wheelbase, promising ample secondary seating room and a generous trunk for everyday use and longer trips alike.
The interior embraces a minimalist design philosophy, prioritizing clean lines and user-friendly interfaces. The cockpit centers around a digital instrument cluster and a prominent vertical 13.2-inch touchscreen for the multimedia system. A two-spoke multifunction steering wheel anchors the driver’s control layout, contributing to a focused, modern driving environment.
A well-rounded equipment list enhances convenience and safety. The Yida offers a sunroof and an automatic tailgate with sensor operation, a push-button start, and remote engine start for added convenience. Climate comfort is addressed with a rear-seat air distribution system, while the audio experience is supported by four speakers. In addition, the package includes adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, a rear-view camera, and blind-spot monitoring. Optional features extend to an autonomous valet function, a tire pressure monitoring system, and other smart driver-assistance technologies that enhance everyday usability and confidence on the road.
Powering the Yida is a next-generation Blue Whale NE1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 170 horsepower and 260 Newton-meters of torque. The engine operates with high-pressure direct injection up to 350 bar, optimizing efficiency and performance. The transmission pairing is a seven-speed automated gearbox with dual clutches, driving the front wheels. Fuel efficiency in mixed driving conditions is reported at approximately 5.99 liters per 100 kilometers, reflecting a balance between responsive performance and economical operation for daily commuting and longer journeys alike.
