With Changan announcing the third generation of the Eado sedan in March 2024 under the global name “Lamour,” the new model delivers a well-balanced mix of elegance, advanced technology, and smart features—all while maintaining a competitive price that positions it as one of the top contenders in the compact sedan segment. Thanks to its modern design, impressive technology, and advanced interior features, the Eado quickly secured a strong presence in the Saudi market, especially given its broad lineup and accessible pricing. The car hasn’t undergone any major updates over the past year, meaning the 2025 Changan Eado Plus remains identical to the recently launched 2024 model.
Exterior Design
The 2025 Changan Eado showcases a design language that is both sporty and contemporary. At the front, it features powerful LED headlights with high and low beam functions, a wide grille, and bold air intakes. The rear is highlighted by integrated LED lighting and a carbon fiber-style rear spoiler that adds a sporty touch, along with dual exhaust outlets (one of which is functional). Chrome trim around the side windows and flush door handles enhance the car’s upscale appeal, while it rides on 18-inch sporty alloy wheels wrapped in 225/45 R18 tires.
Interior
Measuring 4,770 mm in length, 1,840 mm in width, and 1,440 mm in height, the Eado offers a spacious cabin that ensures excellent passenger comfort. Dominating the dashboard is a large 13.2-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, offering an immersive entertainment and connectivity experience. The Nappa leather seats with red stitching add a luxurious touch, reflecting the brand’s attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.
Mechanical Specifications
Powering the 2025 Changan Eado is a 1.5-liter GDI turbocharged engine that delivers 178 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch DCT transmission, offering a smooth and efficient drive. The car’s fuel consumption is rated at 18.4 km/L, supported by a 51-liter fuel tank. Despite its curb weight of around 2,600 kg, the suspension and steering systems are finely tuned to provide commendable stability on the road.
Technology and Safety
One of the key highlights of the 2025 Changan Eado is its rich suite of smart technologies, rarely found in this price range. It features a driver monitoring system that reads facial expressions to detect fatigue without requiring an internet connection. The vehicle also includes an in-cabin gesture control system (IMS), enabling certain functions to be activated with simple hand movements. A high-resolution 540-degree panoramic camera enhances visibility and helps eliminate blind spots, complemented by a built-in front dash cam for additional security. The Eado also offers Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC) with stop-and-go capability and automatic safety alerts.
