This year, Civic has ushered in a new rival - the upcoming Changan UNI-V. Changan UNI-V not only continues the price advantage of its own brand, but also has many innovations in configuration, such as electric tail, sound wave, SuperRace model and so on. So, for sports cars within 150,000, do we choose the veteran Civic or the new strength UNI-V? Today we will talk about this topic.
We chose the Changan UNI-V 1.5T Dual Clutch Smart Pilot (booking price 134,900) and the Honda Civic 180TURBO CVT Shangqing Edition (136,900) for comparison. Here and everyone to say a few more, the current Changan UNI-V booking model should be the top version, after the listing, will also launch a lower price of low-end models, want to buy this car but the budget is tight friends can wait.
If I had to choose between these two cars, I would first consider the exterior interior design of these two cars. The exterior design of both cars is very young, let's take a look at the comparison of various details.
Changan UNI-V adopts a hatchback coupe design, and the front face still adopts the "borderless design concept", which is highly recognizable. The slender and sharp LED light cluster looks very powerful.
The front face design of the eleventh generation Civic has changed greatly compared to the previous generation model, abandoning the through-type chrome trim, widening the intake grille, and the air intake grille adopts a blackened design, which looks more sporty. The light group is connected to the middle net through, and with the blackened grille below, it is more visually layered.
From the side of the vehicle, the hatchback design of Changan UNI-V is very beautiful and the lines are smooth. Previously, some netizens joked that a low cover is ugly, and the low body also makes UNI-V look more attractive. In terms of rims, UNI-V uses 18-inch rims with tire specifications of 235/45 R18. In this class of models, 18-inch rims are relatively rare.
In addition to this, the UNI-V's hidden door handles are not absent, and the door handles are not hurriedly extended when the vehicle is unlocked. I believe that such a design can meet the sense of ceremony of many young friends.
The side of the Civic looks relatively simple, and the horizontal waistline design enhances the sense of power of the body. In terms of rims, Civic uses 16-inch rims with tire specifications of 215/55 R16.
The tail line of Changan UNI-V is very smooth, and the through-LED taillights are very eye-catching with the exhaust of the bilateral double. The most worth saying is definitely the electric rear wing of the rear of the car, UNI-V is currently the only model with an electric tail in the same class, how many friends like UNI-V because of this design, come to the comment area to talk about it.
If you put it together with Changan UNI-V, then the tail of the Civic really won't be so stunning. Civic's exhaust adopts a hidden design, the rear of the car does not have too many elements, the integrity is good, so the advantage is that it is more durable.
Entering the car, the interior design of UNI-V pays more attention to the sense of technology, the steering wheel is flattened up and down, and the multi-layer alternating screen makes people full of freshness. This interior style is in line with UNI-V's technological configuration, and the purpose is to let users experience the feeling of smart travel.
Civic's interior design is more inclined to the home, on this basis, adding some of the current popular elements, such as large-size LCD meters, hidden air conditioning outlets, interior mood lights and so on.
Overall, the design of the two cars has its own advantages, if the style of the Civic is the fusion of home and simplicity, then UNI-V is the combination of technology and trends. The design style is not good or bad, if you want to talk about advantages, UNI-V can really bring us a sense of freshness and stunning.
