Do many people think that Toyota is very strong? It is true that Toyota is very strong in the world, whether it is China, the United States, or the European market, there are Toyota cars everywhere. However, the domestic automobile market has never lacked competitors, and Suzuki Motors, which was once indispensable, has not been competed by its own brands. Although it is still difficult for the current independent brands to shake a series of first-line joint venture vehicles such as Toyota, Volkswagen, etc., the independent brands have also shown good product competitiveness. Taking Changan Car as an example, as of 2021, the total number of Changan car owners has exceeded 20 million, and you can imagine how huge such a number is.
In China, Changan's first-line domestic brand new cars should not be ignored, and now domestic cars have also begun to establish dealers overseas, and also began to export to overseas new cars. In time, I believe that independent brands can not only compete with Volkswagen and Toyota at home, but also compete abroad.
So what are the advantages of independent brands that can make so many consumers trust domestic models? Is it really just because the price is low? I don't think so. Today's consumers are very aware of cars, and it is difficult to attract a large number of consumers by price alone. Today we come to introduce a model, this model is also from Changan's banner, the new car shows the cost performance I think is also our own brand to overcome the blade of foreign cars. The Changan car introduced today is UNI-T, the price of this model is not high, and the manufacturer's guidance price is 115,900 yuan to 149,900 yuan. Although the price is not high, I think the aggressiveness of the product is quite good.
From the front of the car, the overall shape of Changan UNI-T is a sporty style, creating a sharp visual dynamic, and equipped with a bright night aurora sports kit, which is quite sharp. Forward Gas Network adopts a shape design similar to the digital grille, which is quite sci-fi. In addition, the headlights of the new car also use the "four-leaf clover" hidden grille light, which has a fairly good sense of technology, and the split design is more punctured.
From the side, the overall design of the new car is relatively smooth and particularly pure, using the dynamic design of light and shadow sculpture. And in order to further enhance the dynamics, Changan UNI-T is also equipped with a hidden door handle, relying on induction to open the door handle, which is very ritualistic.
As for the tail design, the four exhaust pipes use a relatively regular design, plus the sports kit, the blackened sharp tail lights, the sense of appearance is very technological, but also very fashionable. In the body data part, the length, width and height of Changan UNI-T are 4515/1870/1545mm, and the wheelbase is 2710mm.
The interior of Changan UNI-T shows the level of modern technology SUV, double suspension screen, with good visual tension, and built-in Uni life vehicle intelligent interaction system, including AI active service, face brush function, car WeChat, and the use of high-cold chips, with faster response speed and computing power, the future can also be continuously upgraded to adapt to new configurations and new technologies.
After talking about these technology configurations, let's talk about the safety configuration, Changan UNI-T is equipped with an intelligent health management system, and we are safer and healthier on the way to use the car. Changan UNI-T is equipped with a full range of airbags to ensure our safety in an all-round way. It is worth mentioning that the body structure adopts an ultra-high-strength design, which can be called a mobile bunker. In addition, Changan UNI-T is also equipped with an active intelligent assistance system to make our driving safer.
Changan UNI-T's power system I think is also a very big highlight, equipped with 1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine and 2.0T turbocharged engine, these two power systems are blue whale power, but also Changan independent research and development of fist products. Looking at the entire joint venture car and domestic car, such an engine design level is also relatively advanced, why do you say so? For a very simple example, the Blue Whale 2.0T engine has a peak torque of 390N·m, while the 1.5T engine peak torque is also as high as 300N·m.
In the gearbox part, this Changan UNI-T also showed enough sincerity, matching the 2.0T with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and matching the 1.5T engine with the Blue Whale seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Both powertrains are very powerful, and there is no feeling of gear lifting and lowering, which is more convenient to drive and especially easy to drive.
Summary: The price of Changan UNI-T SUV is not high, but the design in all aspects is very good, and the appearance, interior, power system, intelligent technology and safety system are particularly superior. It is precisely because there are many such cost-effective models in domestic cars that our own brands continue to break through and gain the hearts of consumers.
