The multi-functional vehicle group of the 2021 important new car review | Changan Automobile UNI-K and Lynk & Co 09

UNI-K is the second model of the Changan UNI series,

Medium-sized SUV positioning, higher than the previous UNI-T.

UNI-K continues to integrate the "simplicity + super symbol" design idea through it,

Borderless front grille unique and sci-fi,

The side shape returns to tradition,

The dual high brake lights and four exhaust at the rear are very pleasing to the target consumer group.

UNI-K interior design is unique among independent brands, the front and rear staggered 3+1 quad screen layout has a starship feeling, the advantage is that the steering wheel adjusted to any angle will not obscure the dashboard. The 12.3-inch central control screen presents a relatively superior effect, the built-in functions are very powerful, the navigation, entertainment and other car networking functions reach the level of mainstream smart cars, and the degree of intelligent voice perfection is higher than that of the joint venture brand, and the independent brand is still at the forefront in this regard.

The rich configuration is one of the highlights of UNI-K, the whole series is equipped with automatic LED headlights, adaptive cruise system, panoramic camera, streaming media rearview mirrors and other functions as standard, and the high-end model is equipped with SONY's 14-speaker sound, seat heating and ventilation, mobile phone wireless charging, 64-color mood light and other comfort features.

Lynk & Co 09

Different from the traditional design concept of medium and large SUV, the flagship model of Lynk & Co 09 continues the design style of the family's urban opposition aesthetic. Similarly, this leads to the controversial front face shape, and the treatment of the split headlights is unique among its peers. Thanks to the SPA architecture developed by Geely and Volvo, the longer front has a more luxury car flavor, while the suspended roof adds a touch of agility. The family taillights with a near-penetration of the tail are highly recognizable, and the lower four-out exhaust is now rare, especially in this model that focuses on the positioning of the family.

The use of a large number of high-end materials and symmetrical design of the interior takes into account the positioning of its own flagship model. The 12.6-inch central control screen information is displayed clearly and the operation is smooth, which also benefits from the fact that the car machine system uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 vehicle-level chip with high computing power, and there is plenty of room for later upgrades.

As a medium to large SUV, the Lynk & Co 09 offers 6 and 7 seat layouts, the third row of space is comparable to its peers, and his main advantage is in the second row of seats, 6 independent seats are spacious and comfortable, and are fully electrically adjustable. Regarding the driving level, the 2.0T+48V light mix system has a good power performance, and the Aisin 8-block hand automatic transmission is also more coordinated. At the same time, it also provides a plug-in hybrid system version to meet the demand for new energy models in some regions.

In the face of the competitive medium and large SUV market, the unique design style, the sincere materials and configurations, and the superior driving control adjustment ability of the Lynk & Co 09 can be said to have the strength to compete with the same level of joint venture brand models. However, in the fierce competitive environment, Lynk & Co 09 wants to go one step further, and it still lacks some time to precipitate and the accumulation of brand reputation by medium and large SUV consumers.
