In recent years, under the pursuit of sports trends, sports tails, double exhaust, carbon fiber texture has become an indispensable design element of the current new car, it seems that as long as there are these elements leaning over the body can be self-proclaimed sports models, but is this really the case? Unveiling the gorgeous coat of sports models, its core appeal is undoubtedly "speed", a car can be given the name of sports car, coupe, no doubt because they have fast enough speed. It is undeniable that the streamlined body, sports tail, carbon fiber components, etc. help to improve the speed, but in the end, it is the power that determines the speed, that is, the "heart" of a car. If the "heart" is not good, even if the shape design is beautiful, it is a paper tiger.
Throughout the development of Chinese car brands, it is absolutely a luxury to have a "Chinese core" in the early days, even if there are not many models that have a positive independent research and development of "Chinese core", and the recent Changan UNI-V is one of them. Changan UNI-V is equipped with a new generation of NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine developed by Blue Whale NE Power Platform, the first modular power platform of Chinese brands, which is jointly developed by Changan Headquarters and Changan UK Center, and built with internationally renowned suppliers, with "AGILE Agile" efficient combustion system, twin scroll tube turbocharger, double outlet integrated exhaust manifold, Schaeffler's latest intelligent cam phase modulation system, efficient medium and cold water cooling system and many other global leading technologies. Twin-scroll electronically controlled turbocharging reduces turbo lag, allowing the engine to reach peak torque at 1500 r/min, while the combination of the "AGILE Agile" efficient ultra-clean combustion system and intelligent lubrication system significantly improves fuel economy.
In terms of parameters, Changan UNI-V's new generation ne1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine has a maximum power rating of 138kW and a peak torque of 300N.m, which is stronger than the 1.5T engines of overseas brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, demonstrating the hard power of the rise of Chinese brands. In addition to the powerful parameter performance, UNI-V also uses the most direct acceleration as the power matching benchmark, and uses X-Pedal for multi-scenario lean calibration, which maximizes the power level of the engine.
As the saying goes, there is no basis for empty mouths, even if the power parameters on the paper of the blue whale engine are excellent, they are ultimately unconvincing. In order to show its hard power, Changan Automobile threw the Blue Whale NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine equipped with UNI-V directly onto the CTCC China Auto Venue Professional League, and together with changan Automobile Blue Whale Team, it met the "challenge" from Shanghai International Circuit, Zhuzhou International Circuit, Shanghai Tianma Circuit and Macau Guia Four Major Tracks. After several rounds of conquest, Changan Automobile Blue Whale Team, which finally joined the CTCC China Auto Venue Professional League for the first time, won the first shot and the first championship in history of the NGCC Cup with the powerful explosive power of the Blue Whale Engine, and won the fastest lap of the NGCC in Shanghai F1, Zhuzhou F2 and Shanghai Tianma F4. At the same time, Changan Automobile Blue Whale Engine also won the official recommendation of the best engine award, with strength to prove themselves.
The strength of the blue whale engine is beyond doubt, but no matter how strong the power, it must be passed on. Changan UNI-V is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission also from the Blue Whale NE power platform, which has been developed and verified for 8 years and has accumulated more than 10 million kilometers of endurance experiments. At the same time, the Blue Whale 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission adopts transient torque control technology for the first time, which can actively control the transient transmission torque of the clutch based on the driving intention, which can absorb the impact of the engine on the transmission system during acceleration, and improve the linearity of acceleration and transient response.
In order to have excellent cornering performance, Changan UNI-V is equipped with DTV dynamic torque vector control system, which can intelligently distribute the driving force of the inner and outer wheels when driving in the corner, and accurately control the driving trajectory according to the driver's intention, so that the vehicle is more accurate and smooth when cornering. As for the tires of the last stop of power transmission, Changan UNI-V chose to jointly customize the MC6 high-performance sports tires with the horse brand, which is known for its excellent road compatibility and strong grip, so that UNI-V can retract freely and run freely regardless of dry and wet road conditions.
UNI-V has also added SUPER RACE and SMART modes to the three classic driving modes. When the "SUPER RACE" button is pressed, the electric rear wing rises instantly, and the supercharging control and ejection start function are also in place, with the exclusive track UI, atmospheric lighting effects and surging power that is about to come out, and the racing passion is pulled full. In SMART mode, the system automatically switches between the three classic driving modes according to the driver's intentions, providing a smarter and more convenient driving experience.
Again, there are many sports cars on the market, but not every one of them has a strong "Chinese core". Changan Automobile's independent research and development of Blue Whale Power responds positively and has surging power, which is not only the confidence of UNI-V to enter the sports car market, but also the value embodiment of the rise of Chinese brands. It is worth noting that UNI-V with strong power has never stopped exploring the movement, DTV dynamic torque vector control system and horse brand MC6 high-performance sports tires make it more powerful, and the paper tiger that does not do surface sports will be the greatest sincerity of UNI-V to consumers.
