Saying that 2021 is the first year of the development of new energy vehicles, I believe that many people will not oppose it. From January to December last year, the domestic retail penetration rate of new energy vehicles was 14.8%, which was significantly higher than the penetration rate of 5.8% in 2020, especially the hybrid market broke out with a rapid and unstoppable trend, and major mainstream brands have launched their own new hybrid systems, which form a strong differentiation with the trend of traditional fuel vehicles.
As an independent brand echelon, Changan Automobile released the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system last year, and its high-end flagship model Changan UNI-K became the first model equipped with the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system. Under the expectation of all, Changan UNI-K iDD insert mixed version officially opened pre-sale recently, launching two models in total, with a pre-sale price of 17.69-19.29 million yuan. So, how does the Changan UNI-K iDD insert mixed version perform, and can it carry the hybrid banner of Changan Automobile?
UNI-K iDD is UNI-K plug-in hybrid model, the difference in appearance, interior and other aspects is not too big, everyone cares about the performance of the hybrid system. The hybrid system is composed of four parts: Blue Whale NE 1.5T hybrid engine, Blue Whale triple-clutch electric drive transmission, high-capacity PHEV battery and iDD intelligent control system. Among them, the engine has a high power of 170Ps and a peak torque of 260N·m; the motor has a high power of 116Ps, a peak torque of 330N·m, and the zero hundred acceleration time only takes 8.1 seconds, and the speed exceeds 200km/h. Low fuel consumption and strong power are its large characteristics.
Living in first- and second-tier big cities, the rush hour of commuting every day is the "culprit" that causes a large increase in vehicle fuel consumption. UNI-K iDD is equipped with a 30.74kWh large-capacity PHEV battery, if the distance is not far, the user can fully realize pure electric drive in BEV mode, NEDC pure electric mileage of 130km, to achieve zero cost of the car.
In the case of inconvenient charging, users can also use HEV oil-electric hybrid drive mode, UNI-K iDD's blue whale iDD hybrid system can actively judge the road conditions ahead, through kinetic energy recovery, reserve enough power in advance, prolong the pure electric driving time. Medium and low speed or start, the vehicle basic electricity, in the medium and high speed, blue whale NE 1.5T hybrid special engine will intervene, compared to the same level of traditional fuel vehicle fuel savings of 40%, NEDC comprehensive mileage can reach 1100km, no longer need to often go to the gas station queue to refuel.
The UNI-K iDD also offers a wealth of driving pleasure, with preset modes built in and customizable to the user's needs. For example, in the preset "surging power" mode, the UNI-K iDD engine and the electric motor work together, based on the application of core technologies such as the Blue Whale triple-clutch electric drive transmission, whether full power or power, the new car can burst out of strong power, allowing the driver to easily complete acceleration or overtaking. At the same time, even if the vehicle is in a state of rapid power, the fuel consumption of UNI-K iDD is only 5L per 100 kilometers, and the fuel consumption performance is very good.
UNI-K iDD is equipped with 6.6kW AC fast charge and DC fast charge as standard, which is very convenient for users whether in daily home or travel when quickly replenishing power. The new car also supports 220V home charging function, even if there is no charging pile, there is no need to worry about energy replenishment.
In addition, UNI-K iDD supports 3.3kW high-power external discharge function, if the user goes out on a holiday on the weekend, you can use the coffee machine, juicer, hot pot and other takeaway camping life appliances outdoors, so that the holiday life becomes more colorful.
UNI-K iDD supports the full power domain full life cycle OTA upgrade, in simple terms, the new car's power system, such as engine, motor, battery, transmission and other components can be continuously upgraded and improved, continuously improve the user's sense of experience.
