Imagine that you are a small employee of the company who just graduated from college for a few years, worked for a few years to save a down payment for yourself, then happened to have the idea of buying a car, spending money on your own, with complete leading ability, buying a car is all based on like, but after all, young, there are many places to spend money, and do not want to reduce the quality of life because of buying a consumer product, so you locked in the most cost-effective independent brand, then the sports car in the independent brand is definitely your first choice.
This part of the car generally has a cool enough appearance, not to say arrogant but also absolutely has an extraordinary temperament, and the details are also with a sense of sporty careful design, the interior configuration is also in line with the current people's habits, a variety of network entertainment functions, and at the same time, it will definitely make you or the partners sitting in the co-driver/rear row shouting addictive. If you feel that what I said above just hit your mind, this is the car I want, then you must not miss the unlisted sports car Changan UNI-V that I brought today.
01
Whoever looks at it will be moved by the high value
The appearance of UNI-V continues the design characteristics of the UNI family, and when you see this set of front faces, you have the illusion of a pure tram parked in front of you. UNI-V can definitely be said to have the highest appearance of the Chang'an family at present, and its smooth silhouette is particularly eye-catching. Although the appearance of this test drive is not the most sporty in the whole series, there is no wind knife kit, nor is it a four-out exhaust, but it is difficult to hide its innate athletic temperament, nor delay it to show its sensual temperament. Not to mention that UNI-V also has a "best in class" configuration - electric tail, and the competitive style after cocking is corrected.
UNI-V is a compact sports coupe, the body size is 4680 * 1838 * 1430mm, the wheelbase is 2750mm, and also adopts the design of the front and rear short suspension, coupled with the upper slip back shape, the visual effect of UNI-V is not small at all, it looks like it will feel very stretched. On the basis of no trace of reference, we can design a car so harmoniously and beautifully, and we have seen the original design take off on UNI-V.
02
The interior is very similar to UNI-K
The surprise of the interior is not as amazing as the exterior, the layered shape and the unique placement of the dashboard, these elements we have already seen on UNI-K, but the details have changed, and the atmosphere of UNI-V is more youthful. The central control adopts the latest car machine system, a variety of networked entertainment functions, can watch movies and listen to songs, and the functions of life are very rich. In terms of configuration, our test drive with wireless charging, main driver's seat heating/ventilation, automatic parking and a very comprehensive active safety assisted driving configuration can fully meet the needs of different customer groups.
03
The ride space is decent
In terms of space, the passenger is 178cm tall, the seat is reduced to the lowest and adjusted to the appropriate position, sitting in the front row of the head has a punch and two fingers of space, medium-sized friends will not have any cramped feeling. Sitting in the back row, the head space will be affected by some sneaky back shapes, and the space performance of one punch and three fingers on the legs is very satisfactory.
04
Outstanding performance Chassis handling is a pleasant surprise
The UNI-V is powered by a 1.5T Blue Whale engine code-named JL473ZQ7, which has also been used in a number of Changan series models, which uses an inlet front and exhaust outlet in reverse layout, which makes the intake and exhaust more efficient, and also adopts a cylinder head integrated exhaust and single-turbo twin-scroll design. Many advanced technologies make its performance very eye-catching, with a maximum power of 138kW and a maximum torque of 300N·m, which has the strength of a 2.0T engine. The drivetrain is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with five driving modes: ECO, NORMAL, SPORT, SMART, and SUPER RACE.
Although UNI-V is the most performance-oriented and driving control model in the whole brand, it still has a very obvious Changan style, and it will not make you nervous as soon as it is opened, and it is soaked by the smooth acceleration at all times, and the soothing and relaxed driving atmosphere of the Changan brand is still easy to find on it. In the past, many models advertised by independent brands as sports will deliberately adjust the car very sensitively, but this practice can only make you temporarily orgasm, when you need it to play the daily comfort side, it will behave very tangled, and the driving experience will become unremarkable. When opening UNI-V, you will not have this worry, because all the points that can make you feel the pleasure are displayed naturally, not deliberately, and fast without losing the root of comfort.
In the last paragraph, I mainly gave those who like sports cars, but the biggest friends at home to take a reassuring pill, UNI-V will definitely not be as fast as some "fake orgasm" self-hi car as fast as the brainless, the home will still be very good to open, you can rest assured. But in the face of UNI-V, of course, I will not let it be limited to home performance, the posture of running up must match its handsome appearance, but before provoking its dynamics, the first thing I have to do is to let it pinch its ass up, and open the tail wing electrically in the car, this action is too uplifting, the rear car is afraid, within a kilometer of the second to kill all the temperament configurations.
With a peak torque output of 300N·m and less than 1.5 tons of body weight, the UNI-V can swoop out at once and quickly surpass the side car at level with you, which is still without downshifting. The power reserve of the 1.5T engine is quite sufficient, especially at low speeds, a foot on the throttle, the power will quickly keep up, no procrastination, light acceleration and the freedom of mind when overtaking at will will make you extremely satisfied.
The engine has entered the best working state since 2000rpm, and the speed used for daily driving is basically in the peak power zone, so there is no chance to touch the power attenuation point. In the extreme state, UNI-V can also maintain a continuous power rise, such as a foot of throttle to the end of the gear drop, the speed will quickly change the rhythm, become sonorous and powerful; and after the upshift, the power will not converge at all, the acceleration rhythm and strength do not have any weakening, continue to surging release, which will make people's passion can be continuously satisfied, much cooler than those faster sports cars.
The gearbox is honestly not a sport tuning, more to take care of daily use and set, the gear change speed will not be very fast, this is also to balance out more smooth and make sacrifices, after all, a home-oriented model that takes into account sports, and it is most important to drive comfortably. But then again, even if the gearbox shift action is hesitant, it will not affect the efficient transmission of power too much, and the switching between gears will not lose too much sense of speed, but it will seem a bit addictive and not enough to be happy when manually switching gears.
The chassis tuning of the UNI-V is indeed very surprising, Changan car used to give people a soft and silky feeling, but the UNI-V is obviously much tougher than other cars, and the suspension stroke is shorter and tighter. The feeling when crossing the barricade is that the chassis action is very crisp, and the body does not have much floating. In order to enhance the handling, the UNI-V also installed a front top bus in the engine compartment, which can make the front of the car react faster when driving intensely, and the overall rigidity and agility of the body will be improved. Coupled with the compact body size, the UNI-V is very dexterous and smooth to drive, and the well-supported suspension can withstand the rapid change of the body's center of gravity, and the control is definitely one of the best in its class.

Performance testing
0-100km/h acceleration test
During the test, the mode was adjusted to SUPER RACE, at which point the UNI-V entered the best combat state, and the throttle and brake were smothered at the same time to activate the ejection mode, but the speed of 2000rpm was not very high. After many tests, we found that the acceleration was the fastest with the body stabilization system turned on, and the tire recovered steadily quickly, and finally broke through the hundred in 7.2 seconds, faster than the shadow leopard. And if the body stability system is turned off, the entire 1st gear under the front wheel will continue to slip, when the speed breaks into 4000rpm after the power will be limited, the speed will no longer rise, the gearbox rises to the 2nd gear after the speed will have a big drop, so it will reduce the acceleration efficiency and lengthen the acceleration time, I don't know if this phenomenon is caused by not the production state.
0-100km/h brake test
UNI-V brake foot feeling is very comfortable, do not have to work too hard to kick to the end, the braking force release is not stiff, ABS will not have any sense of bouncing foot when starting, the whole process maintains linear braking force, but the braking effect is also very efficient, the performance of 35.38 meters is very outstanding, and many performance cars equipped with four-piston or large six-piston vehicles are comparable, equipped with horse brand MC6 tires for efficient braking also provides a lot of assistance.
06
Noise test
The UNI-V's interior sound insulation control is very good, and a slight engine sound can be heard when idling, and 41.1dB is also within the normal range. When the speed rises, the smooth shape will reduce the wind noise, and the exhaust sound and tire noise will also be effectively weakened outside the car, and it can communicate with other passengers without deliberately being loud in the car. The decibel of 60km/h is 58.4dB, the decibel of 80km/h is 62.2dB, and the decibel of 120km/h is 66.4dB.
07
summary
Subjectively speaking, UNI-V is currently the most popular car of the same class I have ever driven, not only because it has the best looking appearance, it feels very calm to drive, the maturity of the overall power matching is higher, and the taste of sports is harmonized to the best while ensuring daily comfort, at least not like some cars after driving for a period of time. Objectively speaking, UNI-V will also add its own understanding of sports to some details, but this understanding is not dirty or stupid, and it can also make people have a lot of face, at least they will not let themselves become a laughingstock in the eyes of people because of the pursuit of personality. Although the official price was not announced, the pre-price of 134,900 yuan was basically similar to that of the rival model. If you just want to buy a sample goods, then there are many models to choose from, but you want to buy a high-value but connotative sports car, then UNI-V you must not miss.
