The editor has something to say:
The pure electric vehicle market has now gained consumer recognition, and some fuel vehicle supporters have always been stubborn, so the idea of tight indicators or retreating to the second place gives plug-in hybrids more possibilities. Changan UNI-K iDD is coming soon. Changan Automobile is relatively late in entering the game, and the earlier BYD Tang DM-i, Weipai Mocha DHT-PHEV, and Geely have been launched.
In the future, bydIR's DM-i, Great Wall DHT-PHEV and other positive PK is inevitable, we also look forward to its performance after the listing, as for the dynamic performance of the new car, etc. "The Way to Understand the Car" to Get Changan UNI-K iDD Test Drive in everyone to experience the report.
