Since its launch, Changan UNI-K has quickly stood out among young consumers with its fashionable appearance and intelligent technology configuration, and its sales volume has been overwhelming, with cumulative sales of 30,623 vehicles from March to November 2021, and monthly sales reaching a maximum of 6,608 vehicles.
From the name, we can clearly see that iDD is the biggest difference between the new car and the regular version of UNI-K. iDD is the hybrid system that the Chang'an family is proud of, and Great Wall and Geely have also launched their own hybrid systems. It can be said that the recent period is the period of spontaneous hybrid collective outbreak.
Recently, the Changan UNI-K family launched a new member - UNI-K iDD and pre-sale, the new car will launch a total of two models, of which the pre-price of the excellent type is 176,900 yuan, and the pre-price of the premium type is 192,900 yuan.
As the first model equipped with an iDD system, the UNI-K has a fuel consumption of as low as 5L per 100 kilometers and a cruising range of up to 1100 kilometers in the case of power loss, which is really surprising for a medium-sized SUV with a weight of more than 2 tons.
The hybrid system is composed of Blue Whale NE 1.5T hybrid special engine and Blue Whale three-clutch electric drive transmission, large-capacity PHEV battery, iDD intelligent control system, from which we can see Changan Automobile's own research and development capabilities, while firmly grasping the core technology in its own hands.
In terms of appearance, the new car basically follows the design language on the UNI-K fuel version model, retains a large number of design elements of the concept car, the borderless front grille with polygonal mid-mesh design, with the front bumper on both sides of the Y line of the light group design, the overall brought a strong sense of science and technology.
Compared with the front part, the side of the body has not been greatly changed, the rounded body with hidden door handle design, creating a good sense of grade, elegant body waistline from the front of the car to the rear of the car, it is particularly dynamic. Unlike the fuel version, the UNI-K insert version adopts a new style of rim, which not only makes the shape more pleasing to young people, but also reduces the wind resistance coefficient.
In terms of body size, the new car is 4865/1948/1700mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2890mm, and it is still positioned as a medium-sized SUV.
In the rear part, although the new car is a hybrid model, it is still equipped with a roof spoiler and a design of through taillights, which also maintains a certain sporty atmosphere with the fuel version. However, in the lower exhaust port position, the new car has changed from a bilateral double-out design of the fuel version to a bilateral single-out design, and is equipped with an iDD logo in the lower right position of the tailgate to highlight its identity.
In terms of interior, the suspension central control screen and the full LCD instrument panel are not absent in the new car, which has brought a strong scientific and technological atmosphere as a whole, and the design of the instrument panel extending forward creates a strong sense of hierarchy. Unlike the fuel version, the new car was equipped with a new style of two-frame steering wheel, and the upper and lower positions were flattened, which improved the sense of movement in the car. In addition, the blue and white two-color color is used as a collocation in the car, which brings a sense of high-grade to the car, and also highlights its new energy identity.
In terms of power, the biggest selling point of Changan UNI-K plug-in hybrid version is also one of the most concerned places for users, which is equipped with a power combination of 1.5T turbocharged engine + drive motor, because the engine is equipped with black technology technologies such as variable valve lift, thermal efficiency is as high as 45%.
In addition, the engine has a maximum power of 171 hp and a peak torque of 260 Nm, while the system has a combined torque of 580 Nm. In terms of transmission system, due to the addition of highly integrated wet three-clutch module, efficient high-pressure hydraulic system and intelligent electronic double pump technology coupling and other technologies, its comprehensive efficiency is as high as 90%, the acceleration time of zero hundred kilometers is only 6s+, the acceleration time is obviously much better than the fuel version of 2.0T, and the vehicle can achieve 100 kilometers of fuel consumption as low as 5L in the case of power loss, and the maximum mileage can reach 1100 kilometers in the case of full fuel and full power.
As a plug-in hybrid medium-sized SUV, pure electric endurance is also one of the places that intended users to value, the car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a battery capacity of 30.74kWh, according to the current official data, the maximum mileage in pure electric mode is 130 kilometers, for consumers who go back and forth 25 kilometers a day, they can achieve the desire not to charge for 5 consecutive working days
