After half a year of brewing, UNI-V finally came, and models such as Civic and Lynk & Co 03 began to be unreliable.
With the best sales of the PLUS family and UNI product series, Changan Automobile achieved cumulative sales of 2,300,530 units in 2021, an increase of 14.82% year-on-year; sales of 1,754,707 units by its own brands, an increase of 16.70% year-on-year; and sales of 1,204,203 autonomous passenger cars, an increase of 23.08% year-on-year.
As a product sequence focused on Changan Automobile, UNI's cumulative sales exceeded 120,000 units last year, an increase of more than 50,000 units year-on-year. In 2021, UNI sequence is committed to creating new products, from the launch of the UNI-K medium-sized SUV model UNI-K, to the launch of UNI-T Sport, 2.0T version, and the UNI-K iDD hybrid version to open pre-sale, the UNI series product matrix is increasingly rich, which can meet the differentiated needs of more consumers.
Whether it is product design, or technology, performance and other unique products, UNI sequences can compete with joint venture models, and product recognition has gradually formed. While the iron was hot, while the SUV market had gained some success, the first car was launched to try to open up the situation in the car market.
As the first sedan of the UNI sequence, UNI-V positioned the five-door hatchback coupe, which received keen attention from consumers after the official map was released. On January 10, UNI-V released the predetermined price of 134,900 yuan for the smart pilot, which is also the top version of UNI-V, which is another attempt by Changan Automobile to try upwards, so far Changan has put together the "KTV" series.
As we all know, Changan UNI-V is not only the first car in the UNI series, but also the first car product under the changan ark architecture, the significance of which is self-evident, and the product strength is also needless to say. It is foreseeable that UNI-V will enter the most competitive home car market and will compete with Honda Civic, Lynk & Co 03 and other models.
Now the new car must say platform architecture, as the first car of Changan's high-end sequence UNI, Changan UNI-V is based on Changan "Ark Architecture" platform to build, the new architecture has a new exclusive coupe chassis, special blue whale power, high stiffness lightweight "Ark Cage" body structure, comprehensive advanced intelligent black technology, it can be said that it integrates many of Changan's latest technological achievements, this advantage is innate, will provide users with an unprecedented travel experience.
Looking at the appearance, Changan UNI-V will give the elegance and dynamics of the five-door hatchback coupe to the A+ class sedan like never before. "Borderless" family design language, the overall shape is very moving. The sneaky body is very much in line with the current fashion trend, and the hidden door handle is not absent. The support of the electric rear wing at the rear and the exhaust layout of the two sides give the UNI-V both practical and sporty style.
In terms of design, the UNI series has formed a unique design language, which is deeply loved by young consumers. The length, width and height of Changan UNI-V are 4680mm/1838mm/1430mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2750mm, which has a leading advantage over models such as Civic and Lynk & Co. In addition, Changan UNI-V is equipped with intelligent black technologies such as IMS intelligent cockpit interaction system, all-scene intelligent voice interaction system, and game cockpit.
In terms of performance, the Changan UNI-V adopts a power system composed of Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine and Blue Whale's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The powertrain has a maximum power rating of 138 kW, can output up to 300 N.m of peak torque at 1500 rpm, and has a SUPER RACE track mode to provide drivers with a steady stream of power at all times. The Blue Whale family has accumulated the trust of millions of users, and the consumer reputation is still good.
At the same time, Changan UNI-V creates a new exclusive coupe chassis based on the high stiffness and lightweight "Ark Cage" body structure. In terms of suspension, engineers reconsider the suspension hard point design from the underlying kinematics, and after tens of thousands of iterations of evolution, select the optimal design scheme, with DTV (Dynamic Torque Vectoring) dynamic torque vector control, giving Changan UNI-V more excellent handling stability and driving texture.
More importantly, Changan UNI-V is equipped with a high-level intelligent driver assistance system, which integrates full-speed domain adaptive cruise and intelligent channel recommendation and trigger lane change functions. The driver can issue lane change instructions through the turn signal lever or voice control, and the vehicle intelligently changes lanes when the conditions are met, reducing the driving burden.
From the center of the UNI-V forward grille, a high-definition camera can be seen, and this detail reveals that the new car has made a breakthrough in intelligent technology. The addition of 360° high-definition panoramic image + 180° chassis perspective and driving recorder functions can monitor the surrounding conditions of the vehicle in real time and improve the safety of narrow road meetings and other scenes.
In addition, UNI-V is also equipped with APA6.0 remote valet parking system, which can realize remote remote transfer of mobile phones. All in all, uni-V has some of those new car-making models. At the same time, in addition to the solid "body fortress", Changan UNI-V is also equipped with continental third-generation ESC body stability control system, integrating ABS, EBD, TCS, ESC, HHC and other functions.
Changan UNI-V, whether it is design, technology, performance and other aspects can compete with the joint venture model, the top with less than 140,000 to introduce the electric rear wing, in the same level of attraction or quite large, will become another explosive model of the UNI sequence. At the same time, the emergence of Changan UNI-V will also urge models such as Civic and Lynk & Co 03 to work harder, otherwise they will be surpassed by new models represented by UNI-V.
