In the past 2021, Changan Automobile Group has delivered an impressive record of 2.3 million units, of which the sales volume of Changan Chinese brand passenger cars has exceeded 1.2 million units, an increase of 23.1% year-on-year, allowing us to see the rise of Changan Automobile in the past few years. As a popular model of the same level, the Changan CS75 series has annual sales of 280,000 units, which is also deserved as a "façade bearer".
Coupled with the gradual recognition of consumers by the Changan UNI series, and the fact that the Auchan series is penetrating into a deeper market, we can see the determination of the Changan series to continue to forge ahead. With the advent of Changan iDD hybrid technology and the high-profile appearance of Avita Technology, which is a three-way cooperation, in the next 2022, Changan Automobile will also re-impact the title of independent brand sales champion, let's see what new products are launched.
01
The Chang'an hybrid system is a latecomer
At this point in time, hybrid models are no longer the dominant market situation of Toyota and Honda.
The hybrid system of independent brands has gradually occupied the mainstream market. Whether it is the market hot DM-i hybrid system, or the thermal efficiency of up to 43.32% of the Thunder God Intelligence Engine Hi · The X hybrid system is launching an onslaught on the two fields of hybridization.
The Changan iDD hybrid is also a late-starter, and under the premise of ensuring fuel economy, the strength of Blue Whale Power has also been continued. However, the Changan UNI-K iDD model that has been launched first at present is still slightly thin, and other Chinese brands have long been in the city, and Changan Automobile can only fight back in order to be invincible.
02
Avita is just the first step in high-end
Changan New Energy is also continuing to exert its strength, although it is still in the exploratory stage of the brand upwards, but Avita Technology has really made a good start, completely market-oriented operation, independent operation, independent development, and strong entry into the high-end new energy market.
On the one hand, it has the technical reserves of the Ningde era in the field of power batteries, on the other hand, Huawei's technology research and development system in intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and other aspects, the layout of the next battle, Changan at least has enough chips, but still needs to refuel, in order to gain a firm foothold in the market.

In terms of power, the new car will provide Blue Whale's new generation of 1.5T/2.0T engine two power options.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a double front face design, which is officially known as the "V" type whale tail wave grille, and the scale-style front grille. The top of the logo also uses a penetrating decorative strip to connect the slender LED headlight groups on both sides, so that the visual width of the front face is further extended, and the front surrounds the huge inlets on both sides, showing a full sense of movement.
The side of the body remains largely unchanged, and the raised waistline design with more elaborate chrome trims shows a very luxurious modern atmosphere. In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4700/1865/1710mm, a wheelbase of 2710mm, and is available in 18-inch and 19-inch rims.
In the rear part, the biggest change of the new car is the use of a through-line light strip design, and continues the unique taillight shape of the current model, which has a high degree of recognition after lighting. The size of the diffuser below and the exhaust pipes with four sides have been increased, further emphasizing the creation of a sense of movement in the tail.
Entering the car, the new car is still equipped with a 12.3-inch dual screen design, coupled with a flat air conditioning outlet, the overall effect is very simple. In terms of interior color matching, the new car has three color schemes of black gray, red black, blue and white, and the electronic gear shift mechanism also adopts the same two-color stitching as the interior. In addition, the new car also has leather interior panels and seats, etc., which combine technology and luxury very well.
In addition, the new car also has intelligent equipment such as L2 intelligent driver assistance, AEB emergency braking system, and 540-degree panoramic image.

Edit the review
When it comes to the Changan brand, it is certainly indispensable to the changan family's shoulder handle - Changan CS75 series, just now
In 2021, nearly 280,000 units have been sold. The Changan CS75 PLUS has also ushered in a new generation, although it is not a big replacement in the true sense, but its new front face and through-type taillights have really brought a lot of novelty and quality, coupled with the more prominent power in the same level, I believe that after the listing, it can still continue the current market performance.

Changan UNI-V
New car highlights: the first car of young people Why should it be a shadow leopard?
Changan UNI-V has officially opened reservations before, of which the top-equipped smart pilot type reservation price is 134,900 yuan. As the first sedan in the UNI series, the car has a low-lying body and is equipped with an electric lifting rear wing.
The Ark architecture makes the UNI-V cabin layout more compact, the center of gravity is lower, and finally presents the effect of low center of gravity, short front suspension, and long wheelbase, achieving an industry-leading 0.78 aspect ratio and 0.59 axis length ratio, creating a lower and more athletic posture. This design not only enhances the visual sense of movement, but also gives UNI-V better athletic potential.
The front face has made another breakthrough on the basis of the previous UNI-K and UNI-T designs, although all of them have applied the concept of borderless design, but UNI-V has been extended from the initial borderless grille to the entire front face, evolving to be more concise and strengthening the sense of technology of the front face. In the use of the forward grille pattern, UNI-V chose an angular triangular element, which not only strengthened the futuristic sci-fi, but also visually extended the width of the car.
It is worth mentioning that the pattern in the running lights also realizes the unity of elements with the pattern of the forward grille, forming an echo and pulling the fashion sense of the whole vehicle full.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts a sneaky coupe body shape, the angular body waist line extends from the front to the rear, and the new car also adopts a hidden door handle design, which reduces the wind resistance and also shows a higher sense of luxury.

The Ark architecture optimizes the layout of the engine nacelle, the inclination angle of the power arrangement is optimized from 7.5° forward to 10° backward, the center of the engine crankshaft is reduced by 12mm, and the length is reduced by 13.5mm, thus achieving the hood descent, so that the hood slope can be designed to be larger, showing a subduction posture.
At the same time, the UNI-V's center of gravity dropped by 30mm, and the height of the body was reduced to 0.78 aspect ratio, creating a lower body and a more athletic posture.
The front suspension of the UNI-V can be compressed to 905mm, but the distance from the A-pillar to the front wheel center is significantly lengthened, and the swooping back shape makes the visual center of gravity of the entire car shift behind, thus creating a very dynamic body design.
Unlike most cars on the market through the waist line to decorate or visually divide, the design of the UNI-V body profile is inspired by the sometimes peaceful and soothing, sometimes turbulent water surface, cleverly converting the potential energy of the water into a unique sense of beauty, in the process of vehicle driving, the V-shaped surface will fully reflect the environment around the vehicle, thereby forming a static and moving flowing beauty, making the whole vehicle more visually agile.
In terms of interior, the overall style of the new car pursues the ultimate simplicity and dynamics, a large number of tension lines and profiles are used to shape the sense of structure, and the asymmetrical design of the instrument, central control, seat, and central armrest area is used. Local use of jumping color embellishments adds passion and vitality. The hidden air outlet that runs horizontally creates a suspended visual effect with a full sense of technology; the atmosphere light arranged on it is connected with the atmosphere light in the door panel area, and the effect is very dreamy.
The viewing angle area of the central control screen is adjacent to the viewing angle area of the instrument 3 panel, which is rich in layering, while the central control screen is closer to the driver, which is convenient for the virtual buttons on the touch screen and reading navigation, weather and other information. The dual D-sport steering wheel is inspired by the racing design concept and looks sporty with the paddle shifters.
The central armrest area adopts an asymmetrical block design, and the contrast color match is more dynamic and dynamic. The flat shift handle resembles a fighter pusher and is new and chic. New seat styling with minimalist line segmentation to create a sense of technology.
In terms of power system, Changan UNI-V will be equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 138 kilowatts, and a model equipped with a 2.0T engine PHEV plug-in hybrid system will be launched in the future.
In terms of appearance, the new car bill is indeed slightly similar to the "A7" without lengthening, and has always been online in terms of appearance. With the launch of the new car, "Changan KTV" is also gradually recognized by everyone, not only for the recognition of the design, but also in the power part and configuration have a strong strength, but the troubles of young people also follow, UNI-V, Shadow Leopard, Lynk & Co 03 in the end how to choose?

Summary of the full text
From the perspective of Changan Automobile's new car planning in 2022, it not only contains the overall upgrade of hot-selling models, but also includes the high-profile appearance of new models to fill the market gap in the segment. In the field of new energy, it is also bold, on the one hand, through hybrid technology to make up for the thinness of the product line, on the other hand, through the launch of high-end new energy brands, in order to achieve the purpose of brand upwards.
It is believed that with Changan's technical heritage, coupled with outstanding design style, and the accuracy of brand positioning, it can still make steady progress in the process of transformation to the new energy industry. But from the perspective of the overall process, it is still slightly slower, which may be the unique style of Chang'an, after all, the water drop stone wear is not a day's work.
