Since the birth of the UNI series of Changan Automobile, it has aroused the high attention of domestic consumers, after the launch of the UNI-K model subverted the tradition in styling, using a very futuristic trend design, which not only detonated the entire medium-sized SUV camp, but also to a certain extent led to the sales of the Changan brand and even the domestic car market, and now Changan Automobile has brought its plug-in hybrid version of the UNI-K iDD. 58 Auto had the honor to come to Zhuhai to participate in the Changan UNI-K iDD test drive experience activity, let's take a look at its specific performance.
The overall appearance of the debut Changan UNI-K iDD is actually not much different from the appearance of the ordinary fuel version. The new car continues the design of the borderless intake grille, which adopts a parametric design method inside the grille, breaking the inherent boundaries of the elements themselves, like the scales of armor, which is not only sci-fi but also domineering.
With the "battleship-style" narrow LED headlight group on both sides, it looks very sharp, making the front of the car look more sci-fi. The daytime running lights are highly recognizable by drawing on the trident wing of Starship, and the dense blackened deflectors add to the sporty atmosphere of the front face.
The side lines are extremely simple and capable, the design of the pressed body line and the concave skirt line make the whole car look more dynamic, and the hidden door handle also enhances the sense of technology of the vehicle. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of UNI-K iDD are 4865mm/1948mm/1700 mm, the wheelbase is 2890mm, and the body length is between Changan CS85 COUPE and CS95.
The UNI-K iDD is equipped with the exclusive custom sports tires of the horse brand MC6 high performance, which show excellent handling performance while also taking into account the performance of the vehicle in terms of silence. The 21-inch multi-width wheels and orange painted calipers are simple and sporty, perfectly matching the body shape, and the tire specifications are 265/45 R21.
The upturned rear part is combined with the downward pressure of the roof, so that the whole car shows a ready posture, full of sport. The rear taillights use a penetrating taillight group shape to stretch the visual width of the entire tail laterally. The interior structure of the lit taillights is exquisite, somewhat similar to the front grille, and has a high degree of recognition.
The spoiler above the tail is inspired by the spacecraft imprint and is very sci-fi. There is also a high-level brake light function integrated above, while a streaming mirror camera is hidden below. It is worth noting that because it is a plug-in hybrid version, the charging interface is added to the right rear side of the rear side of the car, and the left fuel port can be said to be parallel to each other. Changan UNI-K iDD is equipped with an all-weather uninterrupted battery thermal runaway monitoring system, which can ensure that there will be no open flame within 30 minutes. At the same time, the whole series is equipped with AC/DC dual fast charging technology as standard, DC fast charging, 30min can be charged to 30%-80%. And the "iDD" letter logo was added to the tail.
Compared with fuel vehicles, the most significant difference between the plug-in and mixed version is the cancellation of the bilateral four-out exhaust and the change to a bilateral double-out layout design with chrome elements, which looks more stable and atmospheric.
In terms of interior, the overall design of UNI-K iDD is also not much different from the fuel version of the model, which brings users full surprises in terms of overall sense of technology, freshness and humanized configuration. Dual screen can be said to be the mainstream design style in the current automotive market, and the interior design of UNI-K iDD is still very different, the interior layout is more creative, more technological.
The dual-decker center console is complemented by staggered instruments and central control designs, and both use irregular designs, which is fresh enough to be eye-catching. At the same time, we can see that the original intention of the interior design is to let the driver's eyes focus on the road ahead, and on this basis, it also takes into account the simplicity and convenience of the central control screen operation.
The center console is wrapped in a large area of soft materials, with blue stitching and glossy black trim panels, intuitively and three-dimensionally creating the texture and vitality of the interior part. In addition, the design of the air conditioner outlet is also edgy, blending in with the center console, and the interior is modified with silver chrome trims, bringing unconscious visual impact.
10.25 + 9.2 + 3.5 inch triple lcd instrument display area is undoubtedly the most eye-catching design in the car, the specific distribution of screen functions, UI interface display is clear and clear, although the sense of science and technology has been further improved, but the functional layout is relatively scattered, users need to spend some time to adapt. The screen integrates vehicle information such as tire pressure display, speed, vehicle status, speed, gear, G value, streaming media rearview mirror, oil volume and water temperature, and the specific display content of each screen can be switched according to the user's needs.
In order to facilitate the use of the new instrument panel in everyday cars, the steering wheel is designed with a flat bottom up and down, and this design also brings a touch of racing sports to the entire cockpit. The multi-function buttons on both sides of the steering wheel are embellished with bright black materials and mid-metal options, which also further enhance the sophistication in the car. DmS driver fatigue monitoring system is also equipped behind the steering wheel, and the independent camera manages the driver's status at all times, warning of fatigue and distracted driving.
At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a set of 14-speaker custom speakers from Sony, two of which are placed on the headrest of the main driver's seat. This design makes sound exclusive to the driver, and when navigation is turned on and calls are answered, it is not disturbed, and it also has functions such as active noise reduction.
The 12.3-inch central control touch screen has a high resolution, which can not only achieve functional diversity, but also be able to start up in seconds and not caton, and the overall performance of the car machine is indeed remarkable. The screen covers a wide range of functions, including autoNavi navigation, Bluetooth, Internet of Vehicles, QQ music, iQiyi, smart home, voice recognition control, driving recorder, OTA upgrade, gesture operation and other practical functions. In terms of technology configuration, UNI-K iDD integrates the industry-leading iFLYTEK all-scenario intelligent voice interaction system, which can realize multi-round dialogue, context recognition, and cross-scene recognition, helping users achieve voice control of all functions on the interface.
Below the central control screen is a bright black two-zone automatic air conditioning operation panel, the panel adopts a touch design, and the air conditioner also has air purification functions.
UNI-K is also rich enough in terms of configuration, equipped with 1.31㎡ large panoramic sunroof, 360-degree panoramic image, mobile phone wireless charging, automatic parking, full speed adaptive cruise and other functions. The gear bar area continues to adopt the electronic gear bar design, the lower knob is adjusted for multiple driving modes, and the three buttons around the knob are the transmission P gear button, the panoramic image wake button and the dashcam screen hold button. The texture of the electronic barrier area echoes the exterior design, and the details are very exquisite, giving praise.
In the seat part, the UNI-K iDD seat is still quite good in terms of wrapping and comfort, the seat is made of Nappa textured leather, which is soft and skin-friendly, and the seat cushion is also large and comfortable enough, even if it is a long time to drive, there will not be too much fatigue.
Thanks to the 2890mm extra-long wheelbase, the second-row space in the first class class allows even adults to raise their legs and enjoy the most relaxed sitting position. The design of the ultra-wide flat floor in the rear gives the rear passengers a freer dimension in foot and legroom. In addition, the rear seat also provides passengers with a rear central armrest and a rear air conditioner outlet, and the humanized design is commendable.
In addition to the excellent performance of the seating space, the size of the trunk space is also one of the criteria for testing the practicality of the vehicle. After opening the trunk, you can see a spacious and flat trunk, the volume performance is very abundant, and the depth is also good. If you want to get more loading space, you can put the rear seat ratio down, after the seat is receded, it will form a large storage space with a small flat slope, which can fully meet the needs of the whole family to "reload" the travel. In addition, the electric tailgate function is not absent.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a Blue Whale iDD hybrid system composed of a 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine + motor + battery pack, with a maximum engine power of 125 kW and a maximum torque of 260 Nm. The maximum power of the electric motor is 85 kW, the maximum torque is 330 Nm, and the drivetrain is matched with the Blue Whale triple-clutch electric drive transmission.
Changan UNI-K iDD provides three modes: EV, HEV and i-X. In actual road driving, when the motor intervenes in the initial stage, it will not have the abrupt feeling of sharp acceleration like the traditional pure electric model, and the EV mode can be said to be fast and linear. In HEV mode, the response of the heavy throttle engine is very fast, and the power output is quite smooth.
i-X mode can be said to be a major feature of Changan UNI-K iDD, which can bring a variety of different driving styles, including Buddhist long endurance, surging power, camping mode, customization, to meet the needs of users with different driving needs. In the power surging mode, the engine power output is aggressive, the sliding energy recovery is strong, and the energy is maintained at 40%. In camping mode, the battery is guaranteed to be sufficiently charged, allowing users to camp anytime, anywhere. In the Buddhist long battery life mode, the power consumption will be prioritized, which is more energy-saving. Moreover, users can feedback driving needs in the i-X driving mode setting interface, co-create driving styles with manufacturers, and continuously evolve i-X mode based on user feedback in the later stage.
According to official data, the maintenance mass of Changan UNI-K iDD is up to 2 tons, but the comprehensive endurance of NEDC can reach 1100km. NeDC has a pure electric mileage of up to 130km, which is fully suitable for daily commuting in the city. The FUEL consumption of the NEDC is 5L/100KM, which can obtain lower fuel consumption performance when driving long distances.
Although the appearance of Changan UNI-K iDD is very sporty, it is actually very comfortable to really open up, after all, it is still a medium-sized urban SUV that is mainly used for home. The steering feel of the vehicle is very light, which can be said to be very friendly to female drivers. The filter effect is very good when passing through the fine and bumpy road surface, and it is more like a boat when passing through the undulating road surface of the ditch, and the body amplitude is stable, giving people a heavy and solid feeling. However, relative to the sharp turn or emergency parallel line avoidance, the vehicle will still have a slight rollover.
In general, under the continuous electrification of the automobile market, the emergence of Changan UNI-K iDD can be said to have once again enriched the product sequence of the UNI family. It has four technical labels of full speed domain, full field domain, full temperature domain and full time domain, which can provide users with efficient power, efficient economy and stability. It can not only meet the mileage anxiety of pure electric vehicle users, but also meet the fuel economy of fuel vehicles, which can be said to be a more all-round player. So according to the disclosure of the relevant staff, it is expected that it will be officially listed in the first quarter of next year in the future, and what will be its final sale price, we will wait and see.
