Toys, as the name suggests, should have fun attributes, as a young person after 90, today's favorite big toy is of course a fun car. However, I have not found such fun in a car for a long time, until today driving this Changan UNI-V on the mountain road in Chongqing to split the bend, I found happiness again.
Appearance always comes first
What do young people want most? That's right, appearance is always the first! Changan UNI-V inherits the design genes of the UNI family, and the front face adopts a borderless design, which increases the lateral ductility. It also uses a split front bumper, and the huge air intakes on both sides are also genuine. The front face has a strong visual impact and has a wide body and a low lying feeling.
The side of the body adopts a slipback shape design, which has a sporty sense of coupe. UNI-V also features a double waistline design, with the rear fenders protruding outward for a more visual impact. The door handles were concealed, the mirrors were turned black, and the test drive featured black 18-inch wheels paired with a horse MC6 tire. The wheelbase of the UNI-V reaches 2750mm, and the shorter front suspension is also very conducive to the handling of the vehicle.
The rear of the car is more graceful, with a hatchback design, with lines extending directly from the roof to the edge of the rear trunk, and a retractable rear wing hidden on the trunk lid. The taillights are designed through, blackened, and after lighting, the interior is composed of multiple triangular geometries, which has a strong sense of design. Below is a black rear diffuser, in the middle is an F1-like pilot light that can be lit, and a double exhaust port as large as a fist.
What are the properties of play
Since the appearance value has passed the level of young people, what is the playful attribute in my mouth? First of all, the interior design of this car is very brilliant, the front dashboard is very front, keeping the line of sight in front, much like driving a space battleship. In addition, the steering wheel is very small, the shape is almost equivalent to rectangular, no matter at any angle to grasp the feel is very good, the small steering wheel is also very conducive to control, driving fiercely on the mountain road holding such a steering wheel is like playing a game.
There is an orange button on the center control, which is the SUPERRACE track mode, after opening this button, the exhaust sound wave will be more charming, the rear lifting tail will automatically rise, the dashboard interface becomes an orange motion UI, and the center console can display the turbine pressure and G value, as well as the center of gravity offset. Such a "one-click rampage" is rarely seen in domestic independent brands, but it is much better than those models that can only switch the driving mode "self-hi" through the knob.
In addition, the lifting tail can also be manually switched through the button on the central control, when the speed exceeds 90 km / h, it will also automatically rise to provide downforce, the actual performance is more than 140 km / h, Changan NUI-V is indeed not floating (closed in the test site), there is a high degree of controllability to improve driving confidence.
Another highly playable driving pleasure on mountain roads is the paddle shifter behind the steering wheel, which can be manually adjusted to the speed of the vehicle and the time of exit. Looking at the rear wing rising in the rearview mirror, listening to the charming exhaust sound, clicking and flicking the paddle shifters, maneuvering the handy steering wheel, shrouded in an orange sports atmosphere, driving intensely on the mountain road, it's really hard to imagine the feeling of adrenaline rushing. Of course, I'm not advocating that people go for drag racing, but I want to say that under the legal road speed limit, this car can really give you more driving pleasure.
The power configuration is not disjointed
The appearance is sporty, the playable configuration is more, and it is time to talk about the power. Obviously, a car that makes me have so much fun on the mountain road, the power must not be weak. Changan UNI-V is equipped with a specially tuned Blue Whale new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine, with a maximum power of 138 kW and a maximum torque of 300 N·m, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with a comprehensive transmission efficiency of up to 94.3%. In actual driving, Changan UNI-V's lifting gear speed is very fast, after the cornering deep on the accelerator, the vehicle can quickly make the corner, this is mainly because Changan Automobile in the adjustment of this gearbox, added intelligent pre-downshift technology, accompanied by deep throttle and speed changes, the gearbox has long been prepared.
In addition, The Changan UNI-V suspension performance is very good, the front suspension adopts the McPherson type, the rear suspension is multi-link type, the adjustment is biased to comfortable, the fine bumps on the road surface are filtered very clean, and when encountering large undulating pavement, you can clearly feel the suspension pulling down, so that the vehicle is close to the ground. When driving intensely, DVT dynamic torque vectoring control system intervenes, which can bring good turning and tracking, and dynamic driving assistance functions can only be applied by a very small number of domestic independent brands. The UNI-V's lateral support is also very good, and when I lifted the engine cover, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a "top bar" at the top of the suspension tower.
