Can the Changan Eado Blue Whale Edition Outperform the Civic?

At the same price point, the Changan Eado Blue Whale Edition can indeed outperform the Civic. Since the Changan Eado Blue Whale Edition has higher power output than the Civic, it naturally has an advantage in terms of speed. Below are some details about the Changan Eado Blue Whale Edition's engine: 1. Performance of the Blue Whale Engine: Initially equipped in the Changan CS95 and now available in the CS75, it delivers a maximum horsepower of 233, making it unrivaled among domestic engines and comparable to joint-venture brands. 2. Fuel Efficiency of the Blue Whale Engine: The Blue Whale 2.0T has an idle fuel consumption of 0.54, which is decent compared to Volkswagen, though Japanese brands may still have an edge. Given that fuel efficiency is a traditional strength of Japanese brands, surpassing them is no easy task.
I've previously driven the Changan Eado Blue Whale Edition and the Civic, two cars with different positioning: the Eado Blue Whale has sufficient power and quick acceleration, making it quite agile for city starts, but its high-speed cornering stability doesn't match the Civic, after all, the Civic has strong sporty genes. The Eado's suspension is softer and more comfortable, making long drives less tiring, while the Civic's chassis is stiffer, leaning towards driving pleasure. If you're looking for an affordable daily commuter, the Eado is more suitable; if you're really into racing or modifications, the Civic wins. I think choosing a car depends on personal needs—the Eado offers high cost-effectiveness and cheaper maintenance, while the Civic has better brand value retention and handling but is more expensive.
