Speaking of the Changan UNI-K blue whale iDD hybrid system, I am familiar with it, because in essence, the UNI-K iDD and the Hoshigoshi PHEV I drive are both plug-in hybrid models of P2 architecture, rather than the current hot dual-motor DHT hybrid.
From the perspective of power architecture, Changan UNI-K iDD is equipped with a 1.5T engine, matching a three-clutch electric drive transmission, that is, the motor and a set of 6-speed dual-clutch transmission matching. Among them, the UNI-K iDD 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 122 kW and a maximum torque of 255 Nm, and an electric motor with a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 330 Nm. Changan's complete hybrid powertrain can be roughly equivalent to the comprehensive output of 200kW and 500N·m, which is why Changan said that UNI-K iDD has strong performance.
In addition, Changan UNI-K iDD is also equipped with a 30.7kWh battery pack, NEDC pure electric mileage of 130 kilometers, comprehensive mileage of 1100 kilometers. This also enables Changan UNI-K iDD to support fast charging, which greatly improves the power replenishment efficiency of this PHEV model.
Compared with Geely's P2.5 architecture, the powertrain of Changan's P2 architecture has a slight advantage in parameters, especially the power of the front motor is about 30% more - Geely's front motor is 60kW, 150N·m - so the overall power output is better, and the kinetic energy recovery is also larger. Of course, because the Changan UNI-K iDD is equipped with a larger battery, the body class is also a medium-sized SUV, and the vehicle weight is 2075Kg, so it also offsets some of the power gains, so its 100 km/h acceleration is 8.1 seconds.
So why is Changan insisting on the P2 architecture at the moment of DHT's popularity? One of the reasons we analyzed is that the P2 architecture OFIV model structure is simpler, does not require DHT from scratch to test the accumulation of working conditions, and it is easy to achieve high endurance through large battery packs. Another reason is that architectures such as iDD hybrid systems are easier to achieve high performance, such as accelerating overtaking at high speeds or plateaus, especially when it can maintain higher performance compared to DHT models in the feed state.
Therefore, we can see that the price of Changan UNI-K iDD this time is quite advantageous. The starting price of 176,900 yuan is about 25,000 yuan cheaper than the Tang DM-i of the same level and the same endurance level, and it is 100,000 yuan cheaper than the MOCHA PHEV.
At the same time, in terms of configuration, even the low-end UNI-K iDD is highly competitive, offering high-end configurations including 20-inch wheels, active pre-collision systems and ACC adaptive cruises, but without the L2. In terms of comfort configuration, it includes a full LCD dashboard, 12.3-inch large screen, Internet of Vehicles, SONY audio, matrix LED headlights, streaming media mirrors and so on.
One-step selection of 192,900 yuan of high-end models, then UNI-K iDD owners can upgrade to 21-inch wheels, with L2+ level assisted driving, mobile phone wireless charging, main seat heating /ventilation, 14 speaker sound, front double glazing and rear privacy glass and so on.
So who is more suitable for buying Changan UNI-K iDD instead of choosing DM-i or other DHT models?
The first answer is to pursue cost-effective new energy buyers. Although the fuel economy of the hybrid system of iDD in the feed state may not be as good as that of DHT models such as Tang DM-i, the difference of about 20,000 yuan is enough to fill the cost caused by the fuel consumption gap.
The second answer is that Changan UNI-K iDD is suitable for those who travel long distances and have plateau self-driving needs. Because the UNI-K iDD has more advantages over the DHT system in terms of performance, coupled with the 6-speed dual-clutch configuration, the 1.5T engine is enough to support a more reliable stable high-speed endurance even in the low power state. At the same time, coupled with the ability to recharge and recharge, the re-acceleration ability in the entire high-speed state is more outstanding, which is suitable for self-driving users who go around the country.
epilogue:
In general, it is still very cost-effective to spend about 180,000 yuan to land a Changan UNI-K iDD model, take a green card and travel at low cost. For users who do not have too many cross-city travel needs, the low-end version is enough, but considering that the high-end version is more than 10,000 expensive, it is better to directly put it in place.
