In recent years, China's independent brands have gradually laid out to a more high-end market, and have completed the breakthrough of the brand upwards. For example, Geely's Lynk & Co, Great Wall's WEY and Changan's UNI series are all important chess pieces for the layout of independent brands in the domestic high-end market.
Changan Automobile, whether it was the UNI-T previously launched or the subsequent UNI-K, quickly planted grass in the hearts of young consumers with its outstanding appearance and shape. In addition, the two SUVs of the Changan UNI series are equipped with industry-leading blue whale engines, and even a series of optimization upgrades have been made in terms of materials and chassis tuning, which is why the sales of these two SUVs have been good.
In order to better improve the product matrix of UNI series models, recently, the first car of Changan UNI series, UNI-V, also officially ushered in a pre-sale, with a pre-price of 134,900 yuan. As the first model of the UNI series, UNI-V not only has a favorite slip-back design but also has its own lifting tail, which is the first time in its own brand sedan, and Changan UNI-V is obviously designed for young people.
The front face of Changan UNI-V follows the UNI family design style, the sharp LED daytime running lights on both sides show a strong fighting atmosphere, and the inverted trapezoidal closed front grille shape is very fashionable, which is very in line with the appetite of young consumers who "value is justice".
As a model that focuses on sports, the Changan UNI-V is also equipped with a murderous front surround, which gives people a fierce, very unpleasant feeling if they do not know too much about it.
From the side contour of the Changan UNI-V car, it can be seen that the front part of the car that dives forward shows a posture of being ready to attack at any time, and the tight body with a particularly elegant body waistline extends from the front of the car to the rear of the car, and the overall look is quite coordinated.
In order to make the whole vehicle look full of grade, Changan UNI-V is also equipped with a hidden door handle design, which not only achieves a visual and beautiful effect, but also reduces the wind resistance coefficient during the driving process of the vehicle, and achieves the purpose of fuel saving when oil prices are high today.
The rear of Changan UNI-V adopts the popular through-type taillight design to enhance the lateral visual effect of the car, and the light group is highly recognizable after being lit. In order to highlight the difference from other models, Changan UNI-T is also equipped with a rear-lift rear wing, which can reduce the wind resistance coefficient by 0.007, provide 25kg of extreme downforce when opening, and increase the stability of the vehicle when driving at high speed.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Changan UNI-V are 4680/1838/1430mm, and the wheelbase part is 2750mm. From the data point of view, the 2750mm body wheelbase occupies an absolute advantage over competitors such as Lynk & Co 03 and GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, which brings more legroom.
The interior frame is still the Chang'an style that everyone is more familiar with, the more concise center console design creates a strong home atmosphere, and the 3+1 quadruple screens are interlaced with each other, breaking the conventional design of the previous double screen, giving people a visual experience with a sense of error and layering.
It is worth mentioning that the small-size flat-bottom steering wheel is equipped with metal material paddles, which looks more refined, and the yacht-style gear shift mechanism is added to each other, which feels really good, and at the same time conforms to the aesthetic concept of modern young consumers. In addition, in order to highlight the sophistication in the cabin, UNI-V is equipped with mood lights in the door panel area, which presents a dreamy effect.
In terms of power, Changan UNI-V will provide a 1.5T Blue Whale engine version for consumers to choose, with a maximum power of 188 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 Nm, which is matched by the remaining 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, integrated transient torque control and intelligent pre-shift technology, to achieve driving pleasure that cannot be obtained from other models.
In addition, the future Changan UNI-V is also equipped with a 2.0T version and a Changan iDD hybrid power version for consumers to choose, which is also one of the biggest advantages of Changan UNI-V in the face of competition.
In today's market environment, for consumers who want to have both outstanding appearance and household use, Changan UNI-V is undoubtedly more able to meet their needs, on the one hand, Changan UNI-V has an avant-garde shape, on the other hand, Changan UNI-V has a larger body size, which is indeed tailor-made for consumers who can "have both".
In the past, there were very few models that "can have both", as domestic independent brands set their sights on sports cars, waiting for opportunities in new segments through new products, like Lynk & Co 03, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, MG MG6 like mushrooms pouring into the market, forming a situation of "a hundred flowers blooming".
Through the above data, it can be seen that whether it is the comprehensive power of the engine, or the current price of changan UNI-V and GAC Aean Shadow Leopard is relatively close, its arrival is bound to usher in a bloody duel with the latter. So, what are the advantages of Changan UNI-V over the latter? Among them, the number can reduce the wind resistance coefficient by 0.007, provide a tail wing with 25kg extreme downforce, and increase the stability of the vehicle when driving at high speed. Secondly, in the future, Changan UNI-V also has more power options, and is equipped with a very popular hybrid system, and the fuel consumption part is indeed worth looking forward to.
As an important model of Changan UNI series in the sports car market, UNI-V will indeed make some consumers excited and pay for it with the blessing of many black technologies and different power choices in the future. Referring to the pre-sale price of 134,900 yuan, there is indeed a kind of strength to become a popular model of the UNI series.
