If there is any word that is the hottest in 2021, it should be the "metacosm". The so-called "metaverse" is a virtual world created by using VR virtual reality technology. You can live and work in it as you would in the real world, play games the same way, and realize many dreams that can't be achieved in the real world, such as owning a dream car. The "metaverse" is sought after by generation Z young people, nothing more than because the virtual world is more like a "utopia" than the reality of the "inner volume", a free paradise with no limits.
Returning to the car itself, in the "metacosm", as long as you have enough imagination and creativity, the appearance and function of the car can also become imaginative. In the movie "Ready Player One", the male protagonist drove the car of "Back to the Future" into the sky, and finally drove all the way across the finish line to pass the customs, which was cool and exciting. When we take off our VR glasses, go back to reality, and look around at the cars around us, and there is no car that can match them, this sense of gap also makes us feel the urge to escape from reality. But, really, there isn't? Not far away Changan UNI-V said: I can!
Changan UNI-V, which is born with high attention and explosive characteristics, as an A+ level five-door hatchback coupe, breaks through our traditional impression of five-door hatchback coupe from all aspects. Today, we will decode the five highlights of Changan UNI-V to see if it can become a new car option for Z generation young people.
Sexy: The futuristic aesthetics of the future car
Since the beginning of UNI-T, every model of the Changan UNI family has been able to amaze everyone, and UNI-V is no exception. If UNI-T and UNI-K subvert our inherent perception of SUVs, the emergence of UNI-V once again refreshes the standard for cars.
When we don't know how to innovate, we can always look back and find new answers. UNI-V's design aesthetic contains a homage to the classic and a depiction of the future. Fastback, which takes into account the elegant aesthetics of the body design, has given birth to many classics, and this time it has been integrated into the future aesthetic design of UNI-V by Changan designers.
Fastback has a sense of sport, and UNI-V is integrated into the unique intelligent electric rear wing of the same level, which can not only provide up to 25kg of downforce when opened, increase the stability of the body when driving at high speeds, but also make UNI-V the focus of passers-by, so that every glimpse is unforgettable.
In UNI-V, in addition to the tribute and innovation of classics, there is also the inheritance of family. The borderless grille design opened by UNI-T has been passed down to UNI-V and has also been completely new. At the same time, with a flat LOGO design, the entire front face looks more elegant and dynamic.
UNI-V's sexiness is not only in the front face, the side of the flexible curved surface and V-shaped surface design, with a hidden door handle, not only can effectively reduce the wind resistance, but also allow the side face to show the sexy body line in the light and shadow changes.
Coming to the rear of the car, the quantum passes through the triangular elements of the energy cone on both sides of the taillight, which is gradually compressed towards the center, and finally connected into one, and after lighting, it is like a light that breaks through the sky, breaking the dimensional barrier between the metaverse and the real world.
Opening the doors, futuristic aesthetics continue to exude glamour in the "body" of UNI-V. Sitting on a new generation of ergonomic sports seats that fit the body contour, the front is based on the ergonomics of the Möbius 3+1 full-vision combat instrument, just 10 ° eye movement can view the important driving information on the instrument screen, not only safer and more efficient, but also make the driving experience more immersive.
Holding the sci-fi battleship-style electronic gear in your right hand is like starting a galactic battleship and ushering in the moment of interstellar expedition. Looking up, the ultra-large panoramic canopy with a lighting area of up to 0.53m2 can not only show the brilliant Milky Way on a clear night, but also filter more than 99.9% of ultraviolet rays to protect health.
UNI-V's futuristic aesthetics from the inside out allow you to feel the sexy charm of future cars from zero distance, even if you are not in the metaverse.
Thrill: A blue whale power specially tuned for young people
The muscular and sexy physique naturally matches the athletic body, and the "heart" of UNI-V is the new generation of Ne1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine of Blue Whale specially tuned by Chang'an for young people. This powerful "heart" that combines a number of global advanced technologies, with a maximum power rating of up to 138 kW, can output all 300 N·m peak torque at 1500 rpm.
Perhaps we have no intuitive concept of such parameters, horizontal comparison has no meaning, we took out the BMW 325 and Volkswagen Passat 330TSI on the two 2.0T, UNI-V 1.5T is not at all downwind, and even the rated power is still in the leading position, so strong performance has no need to say more.
The matching Blue Whale 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is responsive and can handle a wide range of operating conditions. In order to bring a lively driving experience to the passionate and energetic young people, UNI-V also adopts transient torque control technology for the first time, which can fully absorb the impact of the engine on the drivetrain during acceleration, and improve the linearity of acceleration and transient response.
UNI-V not only has the blue whale power specially tuned for the young people of Generation Z, but also has DTV (Dynamic Torque Vectoring) dynamic torque vector control, which can intelligently distribute the driving force of the inner and outer wheels when driving in curves, and accurately control the driving trajectory according to the driver's intentions.
Next to the one-click start button, there is a striking orange "SUPER RACE" button, when pressed, the electric tail will rise instantly, and the supercharging control and ejection start function will also be in place, with the exclusive track UI and atmospheric lighting effects, the sense of racing ceremony will be pulled full!
Super Sense: Feel the future technology in advance
The future car, naturally, must also have the future black technology. UNI-V does have several major "unique learning", first of all, APA6.0 remote intelligent parking, you read it right, it is "remote". That is to say, when UNI-V is on a non-public road and the mobile phone network signal is good, you can view the panoramic image of the car week just through the mobile phone APP and realize the remote control of the steering wheel and driving forward/backward, so that you can say goodbye to the serial CALL of the car.
Not only is parking easy, driving is also smarter and more convenient. UNI-V is equipped with a high-end intelligent driver assistance system, which combines online navigation information and real-time road conditions monitored by sensors to optimize driving paths and intelligently recommend roads. The driver can also issue lane change instructions through the turn signal lever or voice control, the system automatically detects the adjacent lane space and surrounding road conditions, calculates the lane change trajectory, and triggers the intelligent lane change of the vehicle when the conditions are met, so that lane change and overtaking become easy, convenient and worry-free.
UNI-V is also equipped with IMS intelligent cockpit interaction system, supports brushing face on the car, no sense of login to the FACE ID super account, automatically call your exclusive vehicle settings, and one step in the FACE ID authorization binding of QQ music, Himalaya and other ecological accounts, from which to say goodbye to the cumbersome account binding; when the ignition is turned off, just step on the brakes to start the engine directly, without pressing the ignition switch.
IMS also supports gesture interaction, just than a fixed gesture, you can achieve song switching, navigation home and other rich functions, very practical and convenient. The latest voice interaction system of iFLYTEK equipped with UNI-V allows "Xiaoan" to have strong language understanding capabilities such as multi-round dialogue, context recognition, cross-scene recognition, etc., and can continue to evolve through online upgrades, so that the voice is more and more intelligent and realizes the real human-machine communication barrier-free.
Texture: Meticulous full-time protection
Safety is always one of the most important considerations in building a car. Generation Z young people also pay more attention to vehicle safety, and in this regard, UNI-V's performance is excellent.
First of all, in terms of active safety, UNI-V is equipped with the "Ark Cage" body structure built for future safety standards, greatly strengthening key parts such as AB columns, and establishing a stable ring structure between the threshold and the longitudinal beam, forming a plurality of core force transmission closed loops around the cockpit in the vertical and horizontal directions to strengthen the protection of the occupant space; the use of collision energy unloading design to reduce the impact on the crew compartment; the strength of the body steel is up to 1500Mpa, and the proportion of high-strength steel and above is more than 70%. Make UNI-V a veritable bastion of mobile security.
UNI-V also has a powerful active intelligent safety system, which includes Continental's new 3rd generation ESC body stability control system, which integrates ABS, EBD, TCS, ESC, HHC and many other functions. At the same time, UNI-V is also equipped with AEB intelligent emergency braking assist, LDW lane departure warning, LKA lane keeping assist, LCDA parallel assist and other active safety technologies, with a full range of active intelligent safety system, bringing real meticulous safety protection.
UNI-V Sport: The Super Sense Car for Young People
After the previous introduction, I believe you have experienced the powerful characteristics of UNI-V's futuristic feeling, but don't rush to scratch away, because there is a heavy "Easter egg" at the end - UNI-V Sport.
UNI-V Sport is a re-enhanced version of the UNI-V Sport style, and the blessing of a series of sports kits will make your already high adrenaline rise again. The first is the UNI-V Sport edition of the fully armed Blaster Sports Kit. There are also true four exhaust cylinders and 19-inch dark night starlight sports wheels, as well as Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX 050 luxury sedan special type tire support, it can be said that the sporty temperament is pinched to death.
The UNI-V Sport edition is also available in a new car colour, Matte Storm Grey, with a more elegant, soft and delicate matte surface that can be recognized at a glance in the vast traffic.
Of course, the appearance outside the car is more for passers-by to see, and the creation of a sense of movement in the car is more important for the driver. UNI-V Sport Edition adopts the "Dark Night Streamer" theme cockpit CMF design, and the seat, central control and other places use fur materials, which are soft and delicate to the touch, bringing a more advanced and exquisite driving experience. The UNI-V Sport also comes with metal throttles and brake pedals that blend sportiness into every detail.
When you're in the middle of the UNI-V Sport, step on the metal pedals, ignite, and hear the sound of exhaust air in your ears. This is led by Pang Jian, head of the China Noise Group of the International Association of Automobile Manufacturers (OICA), and participated by more than 100 acoustic engineers of Changan Automobile, which took 3 years to create a unique exhaust sound wave, which can be switched through the active control valve, so that the unique sound line of the Blue Whale engine instantly vibrates every cell in the body.
In the new consumption era of thousands of people, this UNI-V sport version is the value choice to meet the personalization of Z generation young people, so that young people who pursue a stronger sense of sports do not need to worry about post-modification. If you feel that UNI-V Sport is your dish, you can continue to pay attention to more updates on this model, and I believe that greater surprises are waiting for us.
Master observation
We always think that the five-door hatchback coupe is a niche option in the Chinese market, and sales seem to prove it. But does this mean that the five-door hatchback coupe really has no market? The emergence of UNI-V is to give a negative answer. With the four characteristics of sexiness, pleasure, super sense and texture, and there are also "hidden" options for the UNI-V sport version, UNI-V must not only become the first A+ class five-door hatchback coupe for Z generation young people, but also become their new option in the "original universe" car.
