On May 22nd, the first "representative channel" interview activity of the Third Session of the 13th National People’s Congress was held, and some NPC deputies were interviewed by the media through online video.

　　CCTV reporter: Roger stands for hello. We know that decisive results can be achieved in defending the COVID-19 epidemic in Hubei Province. It should be said that we can’t do without the vast number of medical workers like you who have been fighting in the front line of epidemic prevention and control. First of all, we would like to express our respect to you. Please share your impressive rescue experience and anti-epidemic feeling during this period, especially in Hubei.

　　Roger, deputy to the National People’s Congress, secretary of the Party Committee and president of taihe hospital, Hubei Province: As you all know, this time Hubei is the decisive place to fight against the epidemic. My colleagues, more than 500,000 medical staff in Hubei and 43,000 medical teams from all over the country are fighting together in the front line of fighting against the epidemic. As we all know, COVID-19 is very dangerous and difficult to treat, especially for the elderly patients with basic diseases in the past.

　　Roger: In our rescue work, there was such a case that we couldn’t forget. That is an 87-year-old elderly patient diagnosed as COVID-19, who has many basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. When he was admitted to the hospital, he had trouble breathing, and his breathing was severe. He himself thought that he was running out of luck. After admission, we equipped him with a special treatment class of nine people, including a chief physician, a resident, a Chinese medicine doctor, four nurses, a nutritionist and a psychological counselor. Everyone tried their best to treat him. During the 47-day hospitalization, the old man’s illness was repeated many times, and every time we tried our best to turn him around. On March 22nd, the old man was discharged from hospital. He excitedly took our hands and said, Thank you for saving my life.

　　Roger: In Hubei, we have successfully treated more than 3,600 elderly patients with COVID-19 over 80 years old, including 7 elderly people over 100 years old. We protect every life wholeheartedly.

　　Roger: There are indeed many feelings in the rescue work. One of them is to sit up and take notice of the post-90s generation. It is the seven "gourd babies" in the respiratory department of our hospital that make me change this way. They are seven "post-90s" male nurses. They are smart and skilled in nursing technology. In this anti-epidemic, they volunteered to fight together and went to the front line together. In the isolation ward, they not only dispensed medicines and injections, but also ventilated the critically ill patients in bed and prone position. In addition, they also undertake additional work such as clearing and transporting garbage. According to the regulations, people who work in isolation wards should take turns to rest once every four hours, while they work continuously for more than seven hours at a time. After each time they come out, all the clothes under the protective clothing are soaked. After 14 days of intensive fighting in the isolation ward, they only rested for 5 days and asked to return to the front again. In the past, I always thought that the "post-90 s" were children who didn’t grow up. This time, at the critical moment, they proved that they were a responsible generation, they were the surging "post-waves" and they were the future and hope of the country.

　　Roger: In addition, there is another deep feeling, that is, people are United and Mount Tai moves. With the support of the people of the whole country, the Hubei Defence War has achieved decisive results after three months of hard work. Hubei people will never forget the truckloads of vegetables and fruits shipped from all parts of the motherland in those days; The 61 million people in Jingchu will never forget every mask and protective clothing sent from all over the world in our most difficult time. We will never forget that the 43,000 medical team members who rushed to help Hubei, you worked hard for us, thank you, and thank everyone who helped Hubei.

　　Roger: Here, journalists and friends are welcome to take a look at Hubei, and see the vitality and aura that are recovering under the prevention and control of normalized epidemic. Through you, we also invite those who have helped us, supported us and cared about us to come to Hubei for a look and see Hubei, which is recovering aura and beauty.

At the press conference of the redesigned Yidong/Yidong XT, we heard the "spoiler" of the Changan model plan. Upgrading the original model is the "main theme" of Changan in the second half of this year.
The change is the first blow, and then we will see CS15 dual clutch and CS75.
1.5T, Yuexiang V7
1.0T and modified CS35. In other words, don’t expect to see a brand-new model this year. But don’t be disappointed. The new models will be launched next year. Here’s a spoiler again. Next year, there are plans to have CS95, Ruiyi CC, CS55 and an MPV model. The information inside is so large that it responds to everyone’s doubts about Changan’s lack of stamina to some extent.

Let’s get to the point. Let’s go back to Yi Yi XT.
Although the manufacturer stressed at the press conference that the new configuration will be slightly improved compared with the old one for the same price model. However, as can be seen from the price list, the entry model of the old model was cancelled, and the purchase threshold of Yidong rose from 74,900 to 80,900, while that of Yidong XT rose from 77,900 to 82,900.
The whole system comes standard with ESP system. It’s still the old saying I often say, to talk about cost performance without absolute price is to be a hooligan. The entry fee that has been "laid off" is estimated to be gradually replenished in the future. After all, the Yidong model should also leave some spare capacity for the next few years.

In addition to the deduction of the entry model, the 1.5T model has also been cancelled. After all, its sales share is too small. The 1.5T engine is not unemployed, but will be matched to CS75 as mentioned above.
. In the size class of CS75, 1.5T can turn customers around, which is expected to become the main sales force.
As for the automatic transmission model, the manufacturer said that 6AT would be used instead of 4AT. Considering that it often takes a long time for independent brands to match automatic gears, wait patiently. In fact, the original 4AT escape has a very good ride comfort, and the matching level is similar to those of Toyota’s previous 4AT models.

The usual trick of the car factory to change the money is to bottle the old wine in new bottles, and the three big pieces still sound like waves, and then carry out cosmetic surgery on the grille and other places. Yidong/Yidong XT has also made some changes to its appearance, but the range is too small to see through at a glance, such as changing the door handle and the rear spoiler, so I won’t elaborate here. There is a way to quickly identify the 2016 model on the road, that is, adding LED daytime running lights.
The upgrade of the invisible level is the focus of this change, which we will talk about slowly below.

The interior of Yidong/Yidong XT has been redesigned to keep up with this era. The configuration has also been improved, especially the screen of the center console. Our manual gear is equipped with Kay LiDE navigation, and it can also be connected to Baidu Carlife through mobile phones to expand its functions. In the past, the Incall function of the operator to set navigation for him was also reserved.

The biggest change of Yidong/Yidong XT is to join the direct injection 1.6L engine. Why do you say "join" instead of "switch"? Because the two engines are old and new, the manual transmission entry model still uses the original indirect injection, and the automatic transmission also uses indirect injection, which is estimated to be due to the lack of relevant matching.
The output book data of the new engine increased slightly, the maximum power changed from 92kW/6000rpm to 94kW/5700-6200rpm, and the maximum torque changed from 160Nm/4000-5000rpm to 168Nm/4000-5000rpm. The main function of direct injection technology is to reduce fuel consumption. The manufacturer claims that direct injection of 1.6L will save fuel by 8%. We see the actual effect. When driving in Qingdao, which is extremely congested, the obvious fuel consumption of the vehicle is 7.8L/100km. At first glance, the fuel consumption control of the new engine in autonomous vehicles is excellent.

I drove to the top of Yidong XT manual gear this time, using the latest 1.6L direct injection engine, and the performance of the sedan version is estimated to be close. Different from the old model, the new engine has no low torque and fatigue as before before. The more advanced driving area is more suitable for our daily driving, especially Qingdao, which is extremely congested that day and needs to stop and go frequently. Yidong XT not only doesn’t have to worry about daily fatigue, but the light pleasure of walking is actually a bit like Japanese 1.6L
A-class cars have a stronger sense of acceleration and calmness than self-priming versions of autonomous cars such as Arrizo 5 and Emgrand EC7. In fact, the acceleration of the old Yidong manual gear has been done very briskly, and the new one just inherits this advantage.

However, it may be due to the direct injection mechanism. Usually, you can hear the noise from the power system when you lightly step on the accelerator. Looking back on the old model, unless the big foot hits the accelerator, it is basically silent when stepping on the accelerator. When driving a new model, I sometimes want to deliberately control the throttle action when shifting gears, because I am afraid that passengers will hear the engine sound and mistakenly think that my manual transmission technology is not home. It is actually quite common that the noise of the power system increases after direct injection, and Honda Fit has a similar situation. In addition, in the process of gear shifting, it takes a little thought to think about the oil-separation fit, and occasionally the joint is not delicate, which will bring a subtle impact.
Although the impact is not very disturbing, I just don’t want passengers to think that I am not careful in control.

For manual transmission models, we must talk about the "novice affinity index". It can only be said that the XT clutch is easier to control, but it is not a fool. Recently, some autonomous manual gears have been tested, and the engine refueling program has become smart. Let the clutch engage.
Know how to raise the speed by a large margin. It’s a bit like a coach car whose idle speed is raised in a driving school. It can move forward easily just by lifting the clutch, and novices can easily mistake their skills for rapid progress, such as Jianghuai Ruifeng S3 and Magic Speed S6. After being used to the above-mentioned stupid car, I feel that it takes a little effort to drive the XT. Let’s talk about "feet" and "hands". The suction feeling of the manual gear is good, but the positions of the second gear and the fourth gear are very close, and the separation position is not clear. Sometimes I want to get into the second gear but get into the fourth gear.

Originally, I thought I would finish the engine test, but I felt that the vibration filtering was much better than before. Netizens often question our view that Yuexiang V7 has better driving quality than Laoyidong. The reason is actually very simple. The development time of Yuexiang V7 is later than that of Laoyidong, and the car-making level of Changan has made remarkable progress in the middle, so the driving quality of "low-end cars" is better than that of "high-end cars". However, Changan re-optimized the chassis by changing the model, which made the driving quality of the new car surpass its own Yuexiang V7. In addition to the "toughness" feeling of the suspension, another obvious improvement is NVH, which is excellent in road noise isolation, unlike some cars at the same price, so that you can always feel the wheels beating frequently by your ears. In addition, when crossing the ditch, you can’t hear the noise of the car body, and your ears are particularly clean. On the whole, Yidong XT should be one of the benchmarks of driving quality at this price, and NVH optimization is the hero behind the scenes.

Summary: the recommendation degree needs to be considered when the loan is changed to "increase the price"

Although Laoyidong is still the pillar of Chang ‘an’s sales, it is mainly sold by inertia in the later period. That is, word of mouth has been accumulated in the early stage, and even if the product strength is no longer dominant in the later stage, everyone still recognizes to buy it. For example, Chang ‘an’s own later Yuexiang V7 and Chery’s recent Arrizo 5, although the model level is lower than that of Laoyidong, the comprehensive product strength is on the contrary. The escape after the change reversed this situation, and the interior was outdated before washing. The new direct injection 1.6L is a rare type of autonomous engine that can give consideration to both acceleration and fuel consumption. After the chassis has been readjusted and NVH details have been optimized, the driving quality is superior in its class.

From the actual performance, the escape after the change is better than a series of autonomous cars such as Emgrand EC7 and Arrizo 5. However, after the change, the purchase threshold of Yidong has been raised, and the entry price has exceeded 80,000. On the other hand, the official entry price of Emgrand EC7 is more than 10,000 lower than that of Yidong. It can be said that Yidong belongs to the choice of quality, and it costs more, but the inner texture is really worth it. According to the driving experience, escape
I could have given "recommended+". Just considering the high price and the appearance that has not changed much, especially the sedan version has begun to make people feel aesthetic fatigue. To sum up, we finally give Yidong/Yidong XT a "recommendable" evaluation.

[Chang ‘an changed the model and moved it by XT 1.6L manually]

Outstanding advantages: the new engine gives consideration to acceleration and fuel consumption; Good driving quality; Excellent NVH control;

Main short board:The noise of the new engine becomes more; The entry price is higher; There is little change in appearance.
