After the stabilization of the Changan CS series models, Changan Automobile launched its own high-end series models in 2020, that is, the UNI sequence; although the UNI sequence was not born for a long time, it maintained the launch of a new car every year, UNI-T in 2020, UNI-K in 2021, and UNI-V in early 2022, officially opening the KTV era. At the same time, according to the official disclosure of Changan, the number of orders for Changan UNI-V in just one hour exceeded 15,000 units, and the booking situation was hot. So, is the new model of Changan UNI-V really worth looking forward to?
The face value design is its biggest highlight
To win such good market feedback, Changan UNI-V must have its own superiority: the appearance design of this new car is one of the biggest highlights.
The front face of Changan UNI-V still adopts the "borderless" design of the UNI series, the overall line is more rigid, the light group design is sharper, and the front bar design of this car is also closer to the direction of performance, and the two sides have a considerable size of the air intake design, coupled with a similar "front shovel" design, the front face of Changan UNI-V is impressive. In terms of details, the forward grille pattern of this new car chooses an angular triangle element, and compared with UNI-K's shark nose, UNI-V optimizes the shape to make the front face line more smooth and concise, which also shows that Changan Automobile is also continuously optimizing this set of "new technology and intelligent aesthetics".
While getting rid of the traditional waistline modeling, UNI-V designers chose "V-shaped design" as the core element of the body side, the entire side is full of power at the same time, the proportion is more coordinated, the whole car will not appear too heavy. It is worth mentioning that this new car is also equipped with an electric tail: according to relevant information, this electric tail supports manual control of lifting, or automatic lifting and lowering according to speed, which can provide 25kg downforce and reduce the wind resistance of 0.007cd after lifting. Although it has a certain effect, it is not obvious, and it is more of a visual improvement.
"True Movement" or "Flower Rack"?
It can be seen that Changan UNI-V focuses on athletic performance; at least from the appearance of the design, this new car is still full of sporty performance. But the point is, is Changan UNI-V really enough to move, or is it just a "flower shelf"?
From the currently known information, the UNI-V will be equipped with a 1.5T Blue Whale engine, equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum output of 188 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 N·m. From the book data alone, the performance output of UNI-V is even more powerful than the Honda Civic, which is a relatively good level in the same level of models, and to a certain extent, it can bring users a smoother driving experience.
However, the power combination of Changan UNI-V is far from being a combination of performance, after all, the 1.5T turbo engine is a relatively common household configuration; to put it bluntly, the tuning logic of this new car still has not gotten rid of the situation of only appearance movement. And from everyone's expectations of UNI-V and the effects shown by manufacturers, the performance of driving performance will be the key point of whether it can stand out. Perhaps for the majority of consumers, the 2.0T model of Changan UNI-V is the real complete body of this new car; the current 1.5T model still has a certain gap from excellent performance.
There are many opponents, and the price of Changan UNI-V is slightly higher
From the current market environment, no matter how good the independent brand models, the price is still one of the reference factors that consumers value when buying a car; at the same time, Changan UNI-V has many opponents and the price is relatively cheap, such as the potential competitor of this car, Geely Xingrui, which starts at 113,700 yuan, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard at 98,300 yuan, mg 6 at 103,800 yuan, and so on. The pre-price of Changan UNI-V is 134,900 yuan, which is higher than other domestic brand models.
In case the first batch of consumers buy Changan UNI-V, they do not feel that the product performance of this domestic car is worthy of higher prices, then the future market performance of this new car may have a greater impact.
Comments
It is worth affirming that Changan UNI-V has shown the design skills of its own brand to the majority of consumers, and the appearance design of this is quite powerful in the 130,000-level family car market. As the third model of the UNI series, Changan also seems to have found its own model development direction, and the mechanical part is still a major difficulty in independent brand sports models, adding tail wings, sports exhaust, and even large-size rim brakes for a car is not difficult, but to become a real sports model, we should work mechanical quality. According to the current situation, Changan UNI-V may be able to win some market sales, but it is still difficult to maintain high sales for a long time.
