Today, the first PHEV plug-in hybrid model of Changan UNI sequence, UNI-K iDD, officially announced the opening of pre-sale at the Haikou Auto Show, launching two models with a pre-sale range of 17.69-19.29 million yuan. The new car consists of a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T Blue Whale hybrid engine and electric motor, as well as a power battery. It is worth mentioning that the new car is built by a global high-efficiency electrical platform architecture, which can take into account fuel, plug-in and mix and other power forms.
In appearance, Changan UNI-K iDD follows the design language of the fuel version, the front face adopts a borderless grille, the hexagonal chamfer is gathered from the four sides to the middle LOGO, the two side headlights group adopts a Y-shaped design, and the daytime running lights will be designed under the front bumper and integrated into the Starship wing trident design, which is highly recognizable.
On the side, the new car still continues the smooth lines of the fuel version, with large-size multi-spoke wheels and side lip air guides, the new car is equipped with hidden door handles, the wheel eyebrows and side skirts are the same color as the body, and the sense of sport and fashion are in place. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4865/1948/1700mm, and a wheelbase of 2890mm.
The rear design is relatively full, using the popular through-type taillights, with a total of four tail rows and black diffusers on the lower side, which is full of sport.
In terms of interior, the new car is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD central control screen, and the dashboard is made of three screens spliced together, which is very highly technological. It is equipped with UNI-K iDD using the "Journey II" vehicle specification-level AI chip and integrates the UNI Life in-vehicle intelligent interaction system. Support gesture over-the-air control and OTA upgrade.
Power is the highlight of the new car, Changan UNI-K PHEV model equipped with the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system integrated with a codenamed "JL473ZQ6" 1.5T engine, the maximum power of 125 kilowatts, the maximum power of the drive motor 85 kilowatts, the comprehensive fuel consumption under NEDC conditions is only 0.8L/100 km, even if it is a power loss, it can be as low as 5L/100 km.
The full name of the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system is intelligent Dual Drive, which represents the global intelligent oil-electric dual-drive system, which will cover a variety of hybrid technology solutions including 48V (light hybrid system), HEV (hybrid), PHEV (plug-in hybrid), REEV (extended range hybrid) and so on.
It should be added that the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system supports three charging methods of 220V home charging and AC-DC dual fast charging, which can be charged more conveniently.
It can be said that Changan UNI-K iDD is the first model under the Blue Whale hybrid platform. Perhaps because of this, Changan does not want to build UNI-K iDD into a model with a particularly strong label of "plug and mix", but wants to make it a model that solves the pain points of consumers' daily travel, that is, "full 0 anxiety". Compared with the fuel version of the model, the UNI-K iDD has a longer comprehensive endurance, stronger power performance, and stronger fuel saving ability. Then, for consumers, even if we put aside the policy advantages of plug-in hybrid models, we can also choose to buy UNI-K iDD. This is the ultimate goal of Changan to launch the iDD model.
