On December 21st, coinciding with the Winter Solstice Festival, I wish you all a happy winter solstice, in short. The latest news shows that the third model of the Changan UNI series, but also the first car UNI-V will officially begin to book on January 10, from the current positioning, the price of the new car may be between T and K, personal speculation that the new car pricing will be in the range of 130,000-150,000 yuan, but also as an important step in Changan car products upwards, to undertake the market segment above The Yidong. After bookings begin in early January, UNI-V will be officially available in the first quarter of 2022.
If in the past, most of the independent brand cars were still exploring with "home" as the starting point, then in the past two years, Chinese car companies have re-energized the car market and adopted the "personalized" demand idea. The post-90s generation has become the main consumer group, and the structure of China's families has also changed, and car products are no longer a carrier that carries all the needs of a family, but more to meet the pursuit of personal aesthetics and driving preferences.
UNI-V was born in such a large industry background, and its design style is "bold" and "bold", mainly catering to young people's preferences for sports. Family borderless network design on the car, with a new interpretation, UNI-V presents a different flavor from the two SUV models of the same series, on the V body, Changan's logo and headlights are carried apart separately, and the entire front face is more layered and refreshing. The sporty front bar also adds a lot to the visuals.

UNI-V Special Edition
UNI-V will provide a total of two front face versions, the normal version uses a pure black front bar shape, and the special version adds a contrast style, and with the side circumference hemming, to create a more eye-catching visual effect. In terms of body size, the new car is 4680/1838/1430mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm, with hidden door handles and 18-inch wheels. The entire aura is not inferior to mainstream joint venture cars such as Civic and Xuanyi.
In fact, an important reason why UNI-V looks very full of aura is that a large number of horizontal lines are used in the design, which is reflected in both the front and the rear of the car. In the rear part of the car, the through-type taillights are said to be a conventional practice, so that the interior details of the UNI-V taillights are very rich, and when they are not lit normally, there are black elements, which looks very delicate. As an emphasis, the rear bar also applies an exaggerated spoiler design, which looks very combative.
The entire interior of the UNI series is also very family-oriented, unconventional instrument design, with large screen and simple central control design, creating a very good scientific and technological atmosphere. In addition, the flat steering wheel will also give a very fresh impression, according to our actual test drive T and K experience, the feel of this steering wheel and the fluency in actual operation are guaranteed.
In terms of intelligence, UNI also adopts Changan's latest car-machine version, integrates Tencent's latest car-machine functions and iFLYTEK's latest voice interaction system, and supports online upgrade of vehicle OTA. At the same time, above the steering wheel of the new car, it is also equipped with an infrared camera and an RGB camera to identify the user's FACE ID, so as to achieve the exclusive vehicle setting function, automatically brush the face on the car, without repeated manual settings, which will be more practical for users who have multiple drivers at home.
As a brand new series, the UNI series was only released for the first time after 2020, so it will give people the illusion that it is dedicated to new energy vehicles. But UNI is actually all fuel vehicles, and its first plug-in hybrid model, the UNI-K iDD, was only recently released to counter BYD's DM-i series. UNI-V also uses pure fuel power settings in the early stage, the first listed models are equipped with Blue Whale power 1.5T engine, the maximum power is 138 kilowatts, the maximum speed will reach 205km/h, the current planning of the 2.0T version, is also expected to be launched in 2022 after the UNI-T 2.0T.
The editor said: Changan UNI series has higher standards than CS series and Yidong models in terms of design, texture and power adjustment, in fact, Changan aims to use this series to keep up with the rhythm of consumption upgrades. However, because too many Chinese car companies continue to release new brands, Changan this time is conservative, in the name of a series of launched UNI-T and UNI-K, from the current market effect, UNI series is recognized by the market, although there is no big hit, but also maintained in the monthly sales of 10,000 units, in today's market is actually not easy. With the arrival of plug-in hybrid models and UNI-V, the UNI series product camp has been enriched, and the follow-up of subsequent 2.0T models and more hybrid models is also expected, at this time, Changan is laying out the UNI into an independent brand, and in the middle of this month, Changan officially released the UNI Service service brand, which means that its sales and services are stripping away the main system of "V" targets. It can be seen that Chang'an will go more slowly this time, and the UNI prospects may be more stable.
