Recently, we learned from relevant channels that Changan UNI-V will officially announce the pre-sale price on February 21, and is expected to be listed in late March. As the first sedan in the UNI series, the car has a low-lying body and is equipped with an electric lifting rear wing.
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. Not to mention that UNI-V also has a "best in class" configuration - electric tail, and the competitive style after cocking is corrected.
The Ark architecture makes the UNI-V cabin layout more compact, the center of gravity is lower, and finally presents the effect of low center of gravity, short front suspension, and long wheelbase, achieving an industry-leading 0.78 aspect ratio and 0.59 axis length ratio, creating a lower and more athletic posture. This design not only enhances the visual sense of movement, but also gives UNI-V better athletic potential.
The front face has made another breakthrough on the basis of the previous UNI-K and UNI-T designs, although all of them have applied the concept of borderless design, but UNI-V has been extended from the initial borderless grille to the entire front face, evolving to be more concise and strengthening the sense of technology of the front face. In the use of the forward grille pattern, UNI-V chose an angular triangular element, which not only strengthened the futuristic sci-fi, but also visually extended the width of the car.
It is worth mentioning that the pattern in the running lights also realizes the unity of elements with the pattern of the forward grille, forming an echo and pulling the fashion sense of the whole vehicle full.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts a sneaky coupe body shape, the angular body waist line extends from the front to the rear, and the new car also adopts a hidden door handle design, which reduces the wind resistance and also shows a higher sense of luxury. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4680/1838/1430 mm, and the wheelbase is 2750 mm.
In addition, the UNI-V uses a downward pressure front, which enhances the sense of power of the whole vehicle. The Ark architecture optimizes the layout of the engine nacelle, the inclination angle of the power arrangement is optimized from 7.5° forward to 10° backward, the center of the engine crankshaft is reduced by 12mm, and the length is reduced by 13.5mm, thus achieving the hood descent, so that the hood slope can be designed to be larger, showing a subduction posture.
Unlike most cars on the market through the waist line to decorate or visually divide, the design of the UNI-V body profile is inspired by the sometimes peaceful and soothing, sometimes turbulent water surface, cleverly converting the potential energy of the water into a unique sense of beauty, in the process of vehicle driving, the V-shaped surface will fully reflect the environment around the vehicle, thereby forming a static and moving flowing beauty, making the whole vehicle more visually agile.
In terms of interior, the overall style of the new car pursues the ultimate simplicity and dynamics, a large number of tension lines and profiles are used to shape the sense of structure, and the asymmetrical design of the instrument, central control, seat, and central armrest area is used. Local use of jumping color embellishments adds passion and vitality. The hidden air outlet that runs horizontally creates a suspended visual effect with a full sense of technology; the atmosphere light arranged on it is connected with the atmosphere light in the door panel area, and the effect is very dreamy.
The viewing angle area of the central control screen is adjacent to the viewing angle area of the instrument 3 panel, which is rich in layering, while the central control screen is closer to the driver, which is convenient for the virtual buttons on the touch screen and reading navigation, weather and other information. The dual D-sport steering wheel is inspired by the racing design concept and looks sporty with the paddle shifters.
The central armrest area adopts an asymmetrical block design, and the contrast color match is more dynamic and dynamic. The flat shift handle resembles a fighter pusher and is new and chic. New seat styling with minimalist line segmentation to create a sense of technology.
In terms of power system, according to the currently known news, Changan UNI-V will be equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 138 kilowatts, and a model equipped with a 2.0T engine PHEV plug-in hybrid system will be launched in the future.
