In recent years, Chinese brands have begun to gradually develop entry-level sports cars to further attract young consumers. Changan Automobile, which has a good development of cars, has also launched a sports model, which also belongs to the UNI series, called UNI-V, and finally put together "KTV". From the beginning of this model to warm up, the eye-catching ability is not bad, and it belongs to the UNI series, so it feels that this car should not be cheap. Changan released the UNI-V pre-price, which is lower than expected, and the configuration is also very affordable.
Changan UNI-V has released a total of four models, all equipped with 1.5T engines, and the entry price is very affordable. The front face adopts a boundless family design style, but in the UNI-V sedan, the aspect ratio has changed, appearing more coordinated and refined, like a beautiful "big catfish".

The 1430mm car is also the lowest in its class, which is a plus for the sports car. The side waistline is both tough and stretchy, with a hatchback design, and there is a touch of luxury in the movement. The standard 18-inch wheels, the sport version is equipped with 19-inch wheels, the shape is better, and the blackened design is more combative.
