150,000 yuan can start with the concept SUV, but the sales are not satisfactory, Changan UNI-K only has a face value?
When traditional car companies are transforming and upgrading in the direction of electrification, independent brands have thrown out one eye-catching "high-value" product after another, including Lynk & Co 02 Hatchback from the Geely family, Shadow Leopard from the Trumpchi brand, and UNI-K from the new sequence of The Changan brand. Among them, Changan UNI-K has attracted much attention at the beginning of its listing, and the sci-fi style of rich styling has amazed the industry inside and outside the industry, proving to the world the strength of Design in China's automotive industry. At the same time, Changan UNI-K also launched a new entry-level luxury model priced at 145,900 yuan, which lowered the price threshold, but the sales were not satisfactory, with sales of only 2566 units in December, and did not achieve the expected product "applause". So, what exactly causes Changan UNI-K to be applauded, is it only the appearance value?
The answer is obviously not so simple, Changan UNI-K is not only bold and avant-garde in shape, but also better than the same level of competition in terms of functional configuration and convenience. The new car adopts the very popular hidden door handle design, when the user carries the key close to UNI-K, the hidden door handle will slowly pop out, full of ritual. In addition, the concealed door handle also highlights the dynamic and tension of the side surface, effectively reducing the wind resistance coefficient of the body.
The interior of the new car adopts the rare triple screen instrument design of the same level, which is composed of three LCD screens of 3.5 inches + 10.25 inches + 9.2 inches, which can not only display richer driving information, but also facilitate the driver to view the information during the driving process, coupled with the intelligent voice interaction system cooperated with iFLYTEK, which can effectively improve the driving comfort experience. In addition, the car is equipped with a Sony sound system, and the headrest of the high-end model also has speakers, which is equivalent to the function of headphones, which helps the driver relieve fatigue and concentrate without affecting the rest of other passengers on the car.
It is worth mentioning that even if it is a low-end luxury type, the functional configuration of the new car is rich enough. Such as: 360-degree panoramic image, full speed adaptive cruise, open panoramic sunroof, mobile phone Bluetooth key, built-in driving recorder, main driving electric adjustment, 12.3-inch central control screen, 7 speaker Sony audio, LED headlights, exterior mirror lock car automatic folding, automatic dual-zone air conditioning and other functions are equipped, and the front side airbag and side air curtain are also standard, from functional practicality to safety have a better configuration performance.
As a medium and large SUV, Changan UNI-K has a wheelbase size of up to 2890mm, with a body length of 4865mm and a width of 1948mm, and sufficient body width to ensure the riding space. Both in the front and rear rows are spacious enough and thanks to the 1690mm body height, the headroom is satisfactory. It is worth mentioning that the platform of the rear of the car is flat, and even the four-wheel drive version of the model is still flat design, which allows the legs of the rear passengers to fully extend. However, the seat cushion is limited from the floor height, the sitting posture is slightly lower, and the long-distance ride has a certain impact on comfort.
In addition, the design of the Changan UNI-K front and rear LED light groups also has many details and highlights worth excavating, such as flowing LED turn signals and trident day running lights, which complement the borderless grille shape and strengthen the visual impact of the front face. At the same time, Changan UNI-K's LED through taillights also adopt a blackening treatment, with a bilateral four-out "true" exhaust layout, as well as imitation diffuser decoration, the sense of movement is very strong.
In terms of power system, Changan UNI-K is equipped with a 2.0T Blue Whale engine, and the whole series is not equipped with an "annoying" automatic start-stop function, the maximum power of the engine is 233 horsepower, the peak torque is 390 Nm, the power parameters belong to the middle and upper class level in the same displacement model, and the matching is the Aisin 8AT transmission, which is known for its smoothness, and the power configuration is quite capable. However, limited by the lack of maturity of the power match, although the power data is beautiful enough, in addition to the initial stage can burst out a certain sense of push back, there is no obvious explosive force in the rear acceleration process, which is not in line with the appearance of the sport. After actual measurement, it can be seen that the Zero Hundred Acceleration Performance of the Changan UNI-K Four-Wheel Drive Model is 9.54 seconds, and the fuel consumption of the 100 km comprehensive road condition is 9.02L, and the power and fuel economy are not too eye-catching.
epilogue
As a flagship SUV with a starting price of less than 150,000 yuan, not only the shape of the wind, but also a rich functional configuration, even if it is a low-end luxury type, it can meet the practical functional needs of most consumers, coupled with enough generous space performance, as well as reliable and stable power quality, Changan UNI-K's cost performance is really higher than that of competing SUVs. If you have a limited budget and are not satisfied with the product performance of the joint venture compact SUV, then Changan UNI-K is the best choice.
