Changan launched plug-in hybrid technology, what are the differences between UNI-K iDD and fuel version
Text/Su Jin Ji
Most of the technology-style model design comes from new energy models, especially pure electric models, and the layout without a grille can give more design space in the car to be used. However, there are also some pure fuel models that seem to have a special love for technology style, and then the model is easy to mistake for a pure electric model after design.
Changan UNI series is a more typical case, although the UNI series of "KTV" three brothers have been about to gather in the domestic automobile market, but so far, UNI-V has not been officially listed, only UNI-T and UNI-K are in the sales stage. In particular, the styling design of UNI-K is more futuristic than that of UNI-T, so even if it is a pure fuel model, it is easy to mistake it for a new energy model.
But now, UNI-K's new energy model is really coming, because Changan Automobile has come up with iDD hybrid technology, and at the same time, it is equipped on UNI-K for the first time, although the model has not yet been officially listed, but the future can be expected. The UNI-K iDD is based on the fuel version of UNI-K, so it is not much different from UNI-K in terms of styling.
The front face of the model still maintains the honeycomb texture of the borderless grille design, in fact, because the grille design of this model is relatively easy to hide the air intake, it is easy to create a futuristic technology style. And its light set and grille matching play a good role, the whole model front face futuristic sense is created very saturated.
The UNI-K iDD is a plug-in hybrid model that differs slightly from the pure-fuel version in terms of appearance. UNI-K iDD has more charging ports in the right rear of the body, and after this charging port opens the lid, there is an AC slow charge and AC fast charge interface side by side, and then this model supports fast charge and slow charge two modes.
In addition, in the logo part of the rear of the car, there are more iDD tail markers, from these two points, UNI-K iDD and UNI-K fuel version can be distinguished. But apart from these two points, there is basically no other difference in the styling design of the iDD version and the fuel-only version. There won't be a lot of changes in the car, but there are still differences.
The biggest change in the interior of UNI-K iDD is the addition of blue + beige dual color in terms of color matching, the overall visual atmosphere is very refreshing, and the entire interior of the car will become transparent and bright with light colors. And the light color of the model is actually more able to set off the scientific and technological atmosphere, which is more in line with the temperament of new energy models.
The design of this model's display and LCD instruments, including the steering wheel, is different from the mainstream design method on the market. The model's double-spoke steering wheel is flat above and below, distinguishing it from the visual senses of a round or D-shaped steering wheel. The display and instrument cluster located in the center console are not arranged on a parallel line, but are staggered.
The main driver's seat of the dashboard is directly in front, but closer to the front windshield, which is equivalent to being laid out behind the display. The display is located in the middle of the center console in the edge of the part, the screen also extends a touch button panel, combined with the display, can create a sense of suspension three-dimensional.
There is no difference between the body size of the UNI-K iDD and the fuel version of the model, so the interior of the car also continues the space advantage of the model. The rear space of this model is very good, whether it is in the legs or at the head, there is plenty of space reserved. Especially in the leg position, it can basically reach a spatial distance of more than 3 punches.
summary:
Its realization today many traditional domestic car manufacturers have come up with their own hybrid technology, such as BYD has DM, DM-i, and the Great Wall has DHT, geely family hybrid technology Thor, and now, Changan also has iDD technology. Therefore, such growth can be seen, in a relatively short period of time, domestic traditional enterprises have also shown the existing technical level. Although the UNI-K iDD is the first model equipped with iDD power, it is expected that if this technology goes well, it will also spread to Changan's models in the later stage, and even UNI-V will directly use this technology when it is listed.
