UNI-T can indeed give people a lot of freshness, the freshness of the appearance and interior, many car companies can give, we look forward to seeing not only in the shape of the conventional, but can break the boundary of the Chinese car at the mechanical level. Today we test drive and experience this UNI-T 2.0T model at the Xiamen Circuit.
In terms of appearance, for such a model, the appearance of personality is the biggest impression it leaves on the market and consumers, and the overall shape is still the general outline of the 1.5T model version that we are familiar with, and the overall shape should be more dynamic.
In terms of the front face, the use of borderless forward grille with dot matrix scale mesh design, and the two sides of the narrow LED daytime running light group, integrated, so that the lateral vision of the whole vehicle is wider, the split headlight group is very cleverly integrated with the front surround, with the through-layer multi-layer front lip, the sporty style of the new car is very prominent.
Coming to the side of the body, the body lines are also sports design style, or the design concept of the sneakback coupe SUV that we are familiar with, using a stronger sense of strength of the body waist line and the door bulging rib line, the front and rear wing line and the wheel brow to cooperate with each other, the use of large size dense strip spoke rim, this side also creates a stronger sports style. In terms of body size of Changan UNI-T2.0T models, the length, width and height are 4515mm*1870mm*1545mm, and the wheelbase is 2710mm.
The rear part, it is reported that two different styles of bracketing kits are provided, the first is a very conventional double-piece roof spoiler, the rear enveloping shape design, with the concave shape of the license plate area, more layered. Another kit is more exaggerated personality, the roof spoiler size is further increased, the rear surround using orange decorative strip outline, with the tail diffuser decoration and bilateral exhaust layout of the two out, the new car color matching, the new ion blue body color 2.0T exclusive red T standard, will be more pleasing to young consumers.
Interior, The overall or retain the design style of the 1.5T model, the use of full LCD dashboard and three-spoke multi-functional sports steering wheel, with a floating multimedia touch screen and electronic shift mechanism, interior materials, in addition to leather and soft material wrapping, the metal cross-brushed panel used on the surface of the center console, in order to cater to young consumers, will also add some color embellishment, the seat has a punching treatment, the headrest and leg rest are also wrapped in materials similar to Alcantara, in addition to visual senses, more practical.
Driving up the feeling, let's first take a look at the UNI-T is equipped with the blue whale new generation D series 2.0T engine, horizontal layout, can achieve the maximum power of 233 horsepower, peak torque of 390 N · m, the engine reaches 1500r / min, can output 350 N · m torque.
In the experience of the Xiamen circuit, you can feel that the power output of Changan UNI-T 2.0T can be accelerated at any time on the track. The altitude difference of the Xiamen circuit is about 10 meters, there are some sharp bends, UNI-T 2.0T after pressing the bending center, after the corner, the full throttle down, this 2.0T engine power climbs up very fast, the power of the middle and rear section is also sufficient, compared to 1.5T is only in the front and middle section of the situation, it is indeed more relaxed in the performance of the whole section. In terms of lightweighting, the engine block and cylinder head are made of aluminum alloy.
Matching the engine is Aisin's 8-speed automatic transmission, but the lack of manual paddles, the form is a lot less fun, you can feel that its transmission efficiency is very high, can achieve lower lock-up speed, the gear change is fast and the action is soft, this time just on the track fierce driving, I believe in dealing with our daily use on the city road, there will be no problem.
I also briefly simulated the frequent start-ups in urban congestion on the track, congestion, and different extreme working conditions can have a good performance. On the Xiamen Circuit track, I drove about 8 laps by myself, the indicators are relatively stable, the test drive on the day was divided into two waves, morning and afternoon, a group of 20 media, we were the last to get on the car, the state of the whole car is very good.
Changan UNI-T 2.0T all series of standard catapult starting mode, through the throttle and brake cooperation, the front is a ventilated disc brake, the back is an ordinary disc brake, increase the engine starting speed, with the maximum acceleration to increase the speed of the car, at the start of the run, Changan UNI-T 2.0T surging power to achieve an instant burst, leading the media test drivers to rush to the finish line. The "Super Golden Cana" focuses on testing vehicle handling.
Chassis part, front-facing front-drive structure, front McPherson independent suspension after multi-link independent suspension, with 245/45 R20 tires, tire grip is very strong, there is no sign of slippage, obviously feel that the chassis is through the sporty tuning, driving on the track, is a tough style, to 80km/h, 90km/h, the overall performance is very good, the chassis has a European car feeling on the track.
When facing the corner, the roll control is very good, there will be no obvious swing, when the left and right bends, the length of the car is 4580mm, the height of the car is 1905mm, 1545mm, and the wheelbase is 2710mm. This body stability control is very good, coupled with the safety configuration of this car is a lot, parallel line assist, lane departure assistance system, fatigue driving prompt, active braking /active safety system, 360-degree panoramic image, reversing side warning system, active parking, uphill assistance, steep slope slow descent.
The atmosphere of the interior is also very combative, and the seats are also designed as racing barrel seats, which are very wrapped up, and the driver is pressed tightly on the seat on the track. The steering wheel and gear knobs are both very combat modes. Regarding the steering, the setting of the ordinary urban SUV has been improved, and there is a little bit of weakness in the front section, but the torque distribution is relatively uniform, the directivity accuracy is done very well, and every quick steering on the track is very accurate. On the track can also come up with a relatively high level, the city road to drive, "The Way to Understand the Car" guess should be very easy.
NVH part, on the track, I only feel that the chassis noise on the track is more obvious, tire noise is also, other wind noise and engine noise are well controlled, engine NVH is a 2.0T domestic engine in the performance of the good. The dynamic experience is a test drive on the track, mainly to experience the high rotation performance of its engine and the performance of the chassis extreme cornering, the large straight line distance on the Xiamen track is not long enough, and it has not yet fully exerted its speed advantage. Later, there is an opportunity to take it out on the ordinary city road to experience it for everyone to make a report.
The editor has something to say:
Overall, it is true that the experience on the track, the overall performance of this UNI-T is still OK, to my surprise, a domestic car has been very good, whether it is the degree of power matching completion, the degree of ease of driving, the degree of perfection of the whole vehicle, have done a good job, and the big problems can hardly be picked. As for the comfort aspect, we will get a test drive in Guangzhou in the later stage and then give you a experience and a report. With the introduction of 2.0T power, UNI-T models have more choices, for friends who like sports control, UNI-T 2.0T models are a good choice, of course, if your car purchase needs are just to buy a good-looking SUV model, then UNI-T 1.5T models are already a good choice.
The new 2.0T version, from the product line is more perfect, the main power, sports, personality as the main highlights of the product, this is a Changan Automobile upward product, compared to the CS series models, Changan UNI-T model dynamic exterior design, more textured high-configuration interior design, captured the consumer psychology of young consumers. As for the market performance of new cars, we are looking forward to it together. (Photo: The Way to Understand the Car, Dao Ge, editor)
