Compact SUV has always been the main position of independent brands, on the one hand, compact SUV is the most suitable size for family cars, not big or small, space practicality is also in place, of course, there is excellent ability to pass, the scope of application is wider; on the other hand, the price is also close to most consumers' budget for car purchase, so for a long time compact SUV is the main battlefield of independent brands.
With the changes in the market, the battlefield has gradually extended from compact SUVs to compact cars, and without exception, they are the main sports attributes, mainly because young people have gradually transformed into car buyers.
Some time ago, the independent brand launched a compact car that positioned the movement, including the Shadow Leopard that set off a storm in the car circle, the WTCR pedigree Lynk & Co 03 and the recently unveiled Changan UNI-V. Among them, Shadow Leopard and Lynk & Co 03 are already listed, and Changan UNI-V intends to officially announce the price early next year.
If you pull back the time to 5 years ago, the design of the car will generally "die" very badly, which is related to the aesthetics of the main group of car buyers at that time, they pursue moderation and stability, so the sales of corolla and Xuanyi's warm and home vehicles are exceptionally good.
With the passage of time, the movement has gradually become the mainstream, and the three cars to be said today are the same, and the aesthetics of the post-90s, do not limit themselves to a fixed model, break through themselves, and strong creativity is the label of this generation. All three cars have strong styles.
Changan UNI-V needless to say, after the success of UNI-T, Changan will implement this sci-fi and radical appearance to the end, and even a little affect its CS series. In terms of size, the UNI-V has a length, width and height of 4680/1838/1430mm, and a wheelbase of 2750mm, which is the longest of the three cars compared today, and the UNI-V also has a rare electric rear wing in its class, which can be switched by switching driving modes or manually by push button.
If UNI-V is a science fiction work, then the Shadow Leopard is more traditional, especially in high-end models, the contrast grille and carbon fiber grain decoration are details that strengthen the sporty characteristics of the vehicle. In addition, the sports kit can be optionally installed on mid-to-high-end models, including Michelin PS4 tires and 18-inch blackened wheels.
Lynk & Co 03 is well known, and the overall price is also the highest at present. The appearance of the Lynk & Co 03 needless to say, from the beginning of the listing to the present basically no major changes, of course, today do not discuss the 03+ series from 198,800, mainly for the ordinary version of the model. The car has a length, width and height of 4657/1840/1472mm, and a wheelbase of 2730mm.
Double screen is the current habitual method, Changan UNI-V design sense is very sufficient, in the dashboard side to add a screen, giving people a very fresh feeling, similar to the spaceship-like design, the first glance will be better.
Shadow Leopard is as "traditional" as his appearance , with a symmetrical design , but the car also adds carbon fiber panels to strengthen the athletic properties , and the overall atmosphere is equally outstanding.
The interior of Lynk & Co 03 inherits the family style, but after many years, the interior design of Lynk & Co has not been said to be avant-garde, and the old model car machine system has also been complained about by many users, such as caton and slow response, etc. It is said that the new model has improved.
In terms of vehicles and machines, Changan UNI-V and iFLYTEK jointly developed, and in the future, they can also upgrade the vehicle machine and vehicle functions online through vehicle OTA, and also support many Internet functions. In addition to the top model, Shadow Leopard's car machine does not support the Internet of Vehicles, but it supports HUAWEI HiCar, Apple Carplay and Baidu CarLife, and the daily functions are equally convenient.
Lynk & Co 03's car machine has previously been complained about by users slow response, operation card and other situations, the new model has been equipped with an updated operating system, the overall experience level has made some progress, the car machine supports SOTA, through Jingdong or Baidu account can achieve the car home interconnection function.
As a vehicle positioning sports, nature can not be left behind in terms of power, Changan UNI-V uses a 1.5T engine, the maximum horsepower of 188Ps, is expected to launch a 2.0T version in the future.
Shadow Leopard is equipped with a maximum horsepower of 177 Ps and a maximum torque of 270 N·m for the 1.5T engine as standard, matching a 7-stop wet-type dual-clutch transmission.
Lynk & Co 03 is available in 1.5T and 2.0T versions, the 1.5T is a three-cylinder engine, the maximum horsepower is 180Ps, the maximum torque is 265N·m, and it matches the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; the 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 190Ps and a maximum torque of 300N·m, matching an 8-speed automatic transmission.
In terms of driving, the shadow leopard due to its own valve exhaust, when opening the valve can always tease your adrenaline, the power output is also smooth, SPORT mode, the central control screen can be switched to the five-table mode, displaying the parameters of the vehicle, the overall combat atmosphere is very sufficient.
Professor Buy Lynk & Co 03 still recommends choosing the 2.0T version, after all, it is a four-cylinder engine, and the overall output will be stronger, and the matching 8AT gearbox will be more reliable in theory. If compared to the 03+ ordinary 03 driving experience will indeed be slightly everyday, suitable for daily commuting, if it is a fierce driving enthusiast, either modify the suspension, or choose the more powerful version of the 03+ may be more suitable.
At present, the price of UNI-V has not been announced, from its product strength and vehicle configuration, the professor expects that the price of the car will be between 100,000 and 150,000, and the amount of travel configuration is about 120,000, so that the vehicle lands about 140,000. Compared with the three, the cost performance of Shadow Leopard is very high, and the overall will be more traditional; Changan UNI-V will have advantages in atmosphere and design.
At present, the professor has not test-driven Changan UNI-V, and he cannot judge its driving characteristics, believing that under such a radical appearance, the sports performance is also good. Compared with Shadow Leopard and Lynk & Co 03, Shadow Leopard's sporty attributes will be more obvious, after the optional PS4 tires, its performance and chassis performance are also good, the advantage of Lynk & Co 03 is sleek, there is no obvious longboard and no obvious shortcomings, and the degree of personalization is slightly inferior.
