Rookie PK Veteran: Changan UNI-V vs Honda Civic, who can laugh to the end?

As the model market most closely related to the general public, the car first ushered in the reform and upgrading in the context of the new era, in response to the expectations of the young group, and the sports car was born at this time. Youthful exterior, technological interior and surging power are a passion that all boys can't escape.

When it comes to the 150,000-class sports sedan, the first thing that comes to people's minds is definitely the figures of Honda Civic and Lynk & Co 03, but now there are new options. Recently, according to the relevant information on the official website of Changan Automobile, its third mass production model, Changan UNI-V, is expected to be officially launched at the end of March. The new car has opened the pre-sale channel earlier, and the pre-price is 108,900 to 131,900 yuan, which is still very fragrant for many users. Today, Uncle Che will take you to compare the product performance of Changan UNI-V and Honda Civic. Rookies against veterans can often burst out of a different kind of excitement.

Face value closer

Who can master the traffic password?

If you want to distinguish between sports cars and ordinary family cars, the easiest way is to look at "Yan". The appearance of being empowered often becomes the "traffic password" that attracts users.

The appearance of Changan UNI-V not only follows the family design, but also adds a little "careful thinking" to it. The classic borderless grille has a stronger fusion with the deflectors of the two wings, which has a good miracle effect on improving the lateral visual effect. The lower enclosure adopts a grille design and adds a dynamic yellow element to produce a full sense of youth. The two wings of obliquely long matrix headlights enhance the impact of the front face through the angular design.

Coming to the side, the shorter front and rear suspensions are combined with the roof of the car, giving people the feeling that the sports car is ready to go. Three-dimensional through the waist line + hidden door handle + quite a sense of shape of the wheel eyebrows, so that the body has both the slender sense of a car, but also has an uncommon tough temperament.

The tail offers two options. One is the ordinary version, with a total of two exhaust gases on both sides + through-type taillights + large size of the blackened under the surrounding, very sporty. The other is a special version, using a total of four exhaust gases on both sides, suggesting a surge of power. Of course, the most fragrant is the spoiler that can be lifted.

In contrast, the 2022 Honda Civic basically follows the design of the previous model. The blackened grille, which is integrated with the two wing deflectors, not only serves to enrich the layers, but also stretches the lateral visual width. The two-wing matrix LED light group adopts a three-dimensional design and replaces the new internal structure, and the visual effect is more stunning. Of course, what Uncle Che likes more is the angular lines of the front face, which give people a sense of youthfulness through the hierarchical list.

Sideways is the best angle to enjoy the Honda Civic. The three-dimensional waist line running through the front and rear + the two folding lines of the door panel + the roof of the small slip back + the short front and rear suspension form a very stunning light and shadow effect, and it also has a sense of high-end that does not belong to about 150,000 models.

In terms of tails, there are some bad tails. There is no layering of the front face, nor is there a sense of elegance on the side. The matrix taillight group + chrome decoration of the bilateral side of a total of two exhausts, did not achieve the ideal sporty style.

In terms of appearance, Uncle Che can be described as entangled. The passionate front face of Changan UNI-V and the elegant side of Honda Civic all make Uncle Che love it and can't help but merge the two into one. However, under the premise of choosing one of the two, Uncle Che still suggested that everyone choose Changan UNI-V, the appearance did not have too many shortcomings, and the integration of popular elements was also done in place. In addition, people have spoilers that can be lifted and lowered.

Motivation determines strength

Who can lead the way?

The reason why sports cars can bring "sports" is inevitably inseparable from the surging power, which is also the essential root of distinguishing between family cars and sports cars.

The Changan UNI-V is equipped with a Blue Whale NE series 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 188 hp and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, matching the Blue Whale 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. This dynamic parameter has far exceeded the ranks of 1.5T and is very close to the standard of 2.0T. Changan UNI-V will also provide five driving modes of ECO Economy, NORMAL Standard, SPORT Sports, SMART Intelligence, and SUPER RACE Super Track to meet the needs of users in a variety of life scenarios, and can definitely support the name of sports cars.

In contrast, the 2022 Civic series is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, matched with a CVT stepless transmission. The low-power version of the engine has a maximum power of 129 hp and a peak torque of 180 Nm. The high-power engine has a maximum power of 182 hp and a peak torque of 240 Nm.

In terms of data, Changan UNI-V will comprehensively crush the 2022 Civic. In terms of actual experience, the Changan UNI-V with a unique heart is smoother and smoother than the Honda Civic, and the power output is also more surging.

Uncle Che summed up

At the moment when domestic products are fully rising, many independent brands taking Changan UNI-V as an example have continuously regained their lost positions by virtue of their home field advantages. In this competition, although the Honda Civic has undergone a comprehensive upgrade, it has lost to the Changan UNI-V in terms of the most important design and power configuration. In summary, Uncle Che recommends that young people buy Changan UNI-V.
