100 kilometers of fuel consumption of 2.3 liters, pure electric endurance of 130 kilometers, Changan UNI-K iDD is still virtual
Since 2021, under the tightening of the new energy double credit policy, in order to improve the competitiveness of the brand in the market, a number of independent brand car companies led by Geely, Great Wall, Changan and Chery have shown new energy "killing moves", but compared with BYD, which has been famous for a long time, their new energy technology has many uncertainties and needs to be further verified by the market. Recently, Changan UNI-K iDD as Changan Automobile's first medium-sized SUV equipped with iDD plug-in hybrid system has been listed, and the new car guidance price is 176,900-19.29 million yuan, which is more sincere in terms of price compared with the price of the competitor BYD Tang DM-i (19.28-21.98 million yuan). So, is the product force of the benchmark BYD Tang DM-i and Changan UNI-K IDD still weak?
In terms of appearance, Changan UNI-K iDD and fuel version maintain a high degree of consistency in appearance design, compared to the design style of Changan UNI-T, the new car shape is more sci-fi, less radical, more acceptable. In addition, thanks to the strong style of the parametric grille shape, as well as the embellishment of the three-pronged LED daily running light, the aura of Changan UNI-K iDD is quite powerful.
On the side of the body, Changan UNI-K iDD adopts a unique line design method, the gentle waist line extends from the front of the car to the rear, and there is a black decorative wind shroud under the door panel, which is complemented by a 20-inch multi-width two-color wheel, supplemented by a red painted brake caliper design, making the sporty atmosphere more intense. In addition, in order to highlight the sense of technology, the new car retains the hidden door handle design, which enhances the visual fluency of the body side. In terms of size, the length, width and height of Changan UNI-K iDD are 4865/1948/1700mm, and the wheelbase is 2890mm, compared with Tang DM-i, in addition to the wheelbase, other dimensions are not dominant.
In the rear part of the car, Changan UNI-K iDD adopts the popular through-led taillight design, the light cavity adopts blackening treatment, and a delicate and full LED light strip runs through the Changan tail marker, stretching the visual width of the rear. In addition, the new car also retains the design of the double-post brake high light, which echoes the two-out exhaust design of the bilateral side, and is decorated with a rear surround imitation diffuser to create a unique dynamic atmosphere.
In terms of interior, Changan UNI-K iDD as a whole follows the interior layout of the fuel version of the model, and makes certain adjustments in the detailed design and materials. Among them, the most obvious change is that the new car is equipped with a new double-frame multi-functional steering wheel, the shape is more avant-garde and bold, while the interior color scheme is unified as blue and white tones, and the seat surface is also sewn with diamond checkered patterns, which enhances the sense of interior high-grade.
In terms of configuration, the new car has two configuration models, the premium model as the top of the car, the configuration is very complete, such as: 360-degree panoramic image, L2 level driver assistance, panoramic sunroof, electric induction trunk, front seat electric / heating / ventilation, boss key, 10.25-inch LCD instrument + 12.3-inch central control screen, facial recognition, gesture control, 14 speakers SONY audio and other configurations are readily available. Unfortunately, the new car does not provide front seat leg rests, and the driving comfort is not as good as that of Tang DM-i.
In terms of power, Changan UNI-K iDD is equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid for the first time, of which the maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 122kW, the peak torque is 255N·m, matching the front-mounted single motor power unit, the maximum power of the motor is 85kW, and the maximum torque of the motor is 330N·m, compared with tang DM-i, the output power of the motor is slightly lower. From the book parameters, The data of Changan UNI-K iDD is at the mainstream level, the official zero hundred acceleration time is 8.1 seconds, and the acceleration performance of Tang DM-i has not opened the gap, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the new car NEDC is 0.8L/100km, and the minimum state of charge fuel consumption is 5L/100km.
After actual measurement, it can be seen that the zero hundred acceleration performance of Changan UNI-K iDD is consistent with the official value, and the fuel consumption of the meter display in the POWER is 2.3 liters per 100 kilometers in the HEV mode, and the average fuel consumption of the meter in the feed state is 7.5 liters, and the fuel economy is good, which is comparable to the power quality of Tang DM-i. In addition, in terms of battery life, The NEDC pure electric mileage of Changan UNI-K iDD is 130 kilometers, while the pure electric mileage of Tang DM-i is 52/112 kilometers, which shows that the endurance of Changan UNI-K iDD is slightly better.
epilogue
In general, Changan UNI-K iDD is a "bucket" model with balanced product strength and no obvious shortcomings, which is lower than that of BYD Tang DM-i with the same configuration, and has no configuration advantages except for the four-wheel drive system compared with the Song PLUS DM-i at the same price point. Of course, the current market situation is: BYD Tang DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i need to queue up, and Changan UNI-K iDD has a higher efficiency in lifting the car, for some friends of emergency cars, perhaps in terms of pre-sales experience, Changan UNI-K iDD can bring more satisfactory performance.
