In recent years, as the main body of automobile consumption has gradually moved closer to young people, major car companies have also injected a large number of elements that young people love and pursue in vehicle design, either emphasizing sports and personality in terms of styling and appearance, or highlighting the avant-garde technology side in intelligent configuration, as for the pursuit of surging power, it is one of the important reference points that have remained unchanged.
Therefore, we can see that last year's new generation of compact cars, such as Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, Octavia Pro, Honda style, etc., most of them showed the characteristics of tending to the trend of sports.
Nowadays, with the arrival of the first car in the Changan UNI series - UNI-V, the market segment of the compact sports car has once again set off waves, and people have to compare it with many competitors while lamenting the appearance of UNI-V. Interestingly, according to statistics, the most benchmarked with UNI-V is not Shadow Leopard, Lynk & Co 03, Civic, etc., but the Honda type personality that is also a rookie. There are many opinions about which of these two rear-wave models is stronger and weaker. So here we may wish to intuitively feel the Changan UNI-V and Honda type through a simple static comparison, and see who is the favorite of the tide play boys.
In terms of appearance, if you talk about personality and sportsmanship, UNI-V is absolutely unyielding. The UNI family's classic borderless design and unique deflector shape make it a combination of mecha and impact. The coupe-style body style YYDS, especially the front long and short posture, also presents a bit of a rear-drive coupe feeling, and the unique electric spoiler tail of the same level undoubtedly further sublimates the sporty style of UNI-V. UNI-V's conspicuous outfit can be said to have put young people's standards and tastes in personality to death.
In contrast, the Honda style is somewhat restrained in the performance of sports, with narrow long lights and flat shapes creating a low-lying posture, and bilateral double exhaust adding a little sense of sport. There are not too many exaggerated and bold design elements, but it is better than the overall sense of coordination. This is also the difference between it and UNI-V, less ostentatious and personal, but more pragmatic attributes. In addition to showing sportsmanship, the Honda style also emphasizes the design concept of moderation. And Changan UNI-V is like the original 10th generation of civics, bold and fearless, dare to show their own personality, and have no scruples about the expression of sports and trends.
In terms of body size, The Length, Width and Height of Changan UNI-V are 4680/1838/1430mm and have a wheelbase of 2750mm. Honda's 4689/1802/1415mm has a wheelbase of 2735mm. Although UNI-V occupies a certain advantage in the overall dimensional parameters, due to its hatchback design, the head space in the rear of the car will inevitably be affected by the trend of the roof line. In contrast, Honda's more conventional design has a slight advantage in the creation of a sense of space in the rear row.
The two cars do not bring much contrast in the interior, although they are pursuing the ultimate simplicity, but they show obvious differences in the overall layout. The asymmetrical design of the UNI-V, the dual-D-shaped sports steering wheel and the three-dimensional sense and layering outlined by a large number of tension lines are lacking in the Honda style that takes the regular route, but the through-the-control area cutout strip and the suspension central control screen also show a little sense of refinement and technology.
The two create a completely different style feature in the interior, but also make it oriented to the consumer group show obvious differences, users who like UNI-V fashion are difficult to accept the moderation of the style, and likewise, consumers who recognize the traditional style of the style are also mostly not very cold about the alternative design of UNI-V.
The configuration has always been the strength of its own brand, so even if you take the UNI-V Pilot Edition model with a pre-price of 134,900 yuan, the front hard 142,900 yuan model technology version is still not afraid of the stage. UNI-V has obvious advantages in both auxiliary control configuration and comfort functions, such as automatic parking, 360-degree panoramic image, electric trunk, mobile phone wireless charging, seat electric adjustment heating armrest and other configurations, which are not available in the style. Conversely, the safety of the type is also lacking in UNI-V, such as rear side airbags, knee airbags, passive pedestrian protection and roadside assistance.
In terms of power, the UNI-V is currently open for pre-sale with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, a maximum power of 138 kW, a peak torque of 300 N·m, a peak torque output at 1500 rpm, a transmission system with a 7-speed wet double clutch, a maximum speed of 205 km/h, and equipped with an ejection start. It is reported that in order to meet the higher performance requirements of the radical driving faction, a 2.0T version will be launched in the future.
The model is currently equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, the maximum power is 134kW, the peak torque is 240N·m, and the transmission system matches the CVT stepless transmission, which is slightly inferior to the former in terms of power panel parameters, but it inherits the essence of the Honda family model in the handling, and takes into account the excellent handling and good comfort.
Through a simple static comparison, it can be seen that Changan UNI-V mainly revolves around sports and avant-garde as the keynote, radical interior and exterior design, rich intelligent configuration, and good performance performance, which is easy to attract the favor of young consumers who pursue personality and self-expression. Although the style of taking the traditional route is not as bold as the former, with the aura of the joint venture brand, the calm but sporty shape and the purer driving experience, it will often attract the recognition of many low-key and unobtrusive consumers.
