2 Answers
The Eado DT is equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125 HP, a maximum power of 92 kW, and a maximum torque of 160 N·m. Additionally, the maintenance cost for this naturally aspirated engine is relatively low. Here are the details about the Eado DT: In terms of body dimensions: The Eado DT measures 4575*1750*1500 mm in length, width, and height. In terms of transmission: The Eado DT offers a choice between a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission. In terms of suspension: The Eado DT features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. In terms of configuration: The Eado DT comes standard with features such as dual front airbags and ABS anti-lock braking system. Higher trim models also include electronic stability control and brake assist systems.
I recently studied the powertrain of the Changan Eado DT, which uses Changan's self-developed BlueCore series engine. I test drove my friend's 1.6L manual transmission model, and its power performance was decent and quite suitable for daily commuting. This all-aluminum engine paired with DVVT technology has the biggest advantage of being fuel-efficient and durable. I checked the data, and its combined fuel consumption is only about 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Maintenance is also simple, with an oil and filter change at a regular repair shop costing just over 200 yuan. However, I noticed that some owners in northern regions reported that the engine noise is relatively loud during cold starts in winter, requiring about half a minute of warm-up to smooth out. Overall, as a family sedan priced around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, this engine is both sufficient and cost-effective.
