Changan UNI-V is the first car built from the Ark architecture, and the third UNI series model launched after UNI-T and UNI-K. The landing of UNI-V means that Changan Automobile has entered a new market segment and begun to emerge in the sports model market, which is a new area that Chinese brands will focus on in the next stage.

On March 21, Changan UNI-V was officially launched in the form of online live broadcast, and the price of four models was 108,900-13.19 million yuan.
Once this price range is announced, it can be seen that its sword refers to gac Trumpchi shadow leopard.
The two are extremely similar from price to positioning, from power to size, and are bound to experience a struggle in the car market.
From the price point of view, the price of Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is 983-13.18 million yuan, and the price range is highly overlapping with Changan UNI-V, and there is even only a difference of 100 yuan between the top models of the two.
In terms of positioning, Changan UNI-V and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard are both models with coupe attributes, and both mainly play performance cards. Both sides use 1.5T engines, both matched with 7-stop dual-clutch transmissions, and are also very similar in terms of performance data.
Changan UNI-V is equipped with Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T turbocharged direct injection engine, with a maximum power of 138 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm peak torque.
In contrast, trumpchi shadow leopard's 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 270Nm, and the Changan UNI-V has a slight advantage.
According to the official introduction of Changan Automobile, the Blue Whale dual clutch transmission of Changan UNI-V adopts transient torque control technology for the first time, which can be judged based on driving intention, and actively controls the transient transmission torque of the clutch, absorbs the impact of the engine on the transmission system when accelerating, and can improve the acceleration linearity and transient response.
The value of this technology is that it can ensure that the shift action is smooth enough under the relatively aggressive power adjustment.
There is also a configuration that is helpful for athletic performance, which is the DTV dynamic torque vector control technology adopted by Changan UNI-V, which can control the braking force on the left and right sides and intelligently distribute the driving force of the inner and outer wheels.
When passing through corners in a more intense manner, the system applies partial braking force to the wheels on the inside of the curve, which will effectively suppress the trend of understeering and allow the vehicle to pass through the corners more smoothly according to the driving intention.
Therefore, as a front-facing front-drive sedan, Changan UNI-V will have a much better cornering performance than ordinary models. The value of this is not only the sports performance side, but also the optimization of driving safety, especially on the winding mountain roads, Changan UNI-V will be easier to control.
In order to further emphasize the sporty nature of the new car, Changan UNI-V also designed the "SUPER RACE" track mode. When the "SUPER RACE" button is pressed, the electric rear wing is raised, the instrument switches to the track UI interface, which displays the engine turbine pressure, output torque and acceleration G-value data, and the supercharging control and ejection start function will also be turned on.
The Trumpchi Shadow Leopard also has a similar catapult mode for faster acceleration performance, with an official acceleration time of 6.95s per 100 km/h. However, Changan UNI-V has not yet released acceleration performance data, and it is not yet known who is faster.
Changan UNI-V has a length, width and height of 4680mm, 1838mm, 1430mm, and a wheelbase of 2750mm, and its size is close to the level of mid-level cars. The center console adopts an asymmetrical design, and the staggered layering is matched with the atmosphere lights, which has the visual effect of a sci-fi spaceship and will be more pleasing to young people.
Above the steering wheel and in the rearview mirror, the infrared camera and RGB camera allow users to automatically log in to the car through the FACE ID super account. Different users can switch to the exclusive vehicle settings by "brushing their faces" when they get on the car.
The core of the center console is a combination of screens officially known as the "Mobius 3+1 Full Vision Combat Instrument", according to the official introduction, the driver only needs to move 10 ° to see the core driving information.
In addition, the AI active service of the Changan UNI family continues again, providing functions such as exclusive greetings on the bus, line of sight lighting screen, fatigue reminder, etc., and can operate music and navigation systems through gesture recognition.
Changan UNI-V's vehicle adopts iFLYTEK's latest voice interaction system, which has the understanding capabilities of multi-round dialogue, context recognition and cross-scene recognition. Through the vehicle OTA upgrade capability, its vehicle-machine function can continue to be iterated in the future.
In terms of intelligent driving control, APA6.0 remote intelligent parking system was first mass-produced on Changan UNI-V, and its functions include: one-key parking assistance in the car, key remote control direct entry and exit assistance, key one-key parking assistance, remote mobile phone remote control parking assistance, and self-search parking assistance. These functions make it no longer difficult to park and move cars, and only need to operate the mobile phone to achieve "cloud parking" and "cloud moving car".
The high-end intelligent driver assistance system has also achieved functional improvement, in addition to the full speed domain adaptive cruise, it also has the function of triggering lane change and the function of intelligent recommendation lane change.
Through real-time monitoring by radar, cameras and other sensors and with the online map, the driver can automatically complete the lane change by flicking the turn signal lever; when encountering lane congestion, the system will actively initiate a lane change reminder.
The realization of these functions means that Changan UNI-V already has L2+ level automatic driving assistance capabilities.
In addition to the selling points of the new car itself, Changan Automobile also analyzed the UNI Service. It is reported that users can use a unique identity ID to enjoy online and offline full-scene car life services such as car purchase and maintenance, social interaction, and value realization.
According to official data, so far there have been more than 200,000 UNI products accompanying users, "UNI Planet" settled in "U Star People" more than one million, 24-hour exclusive butler service has provided a total of more than 17 million hours of uninterrupted online services.
At the end of the press conference, Changan Automobile also announced UNI-V's preferential policies for car purchase, including: V. Enjoy Quality - the first owner enjoys the lifetime warranty of the core components of the engine; V. He finance - 24/36/48/60 period zero, low interest; V. Xiangxin - Replacement customers enjoy up to 4,000 yuan subsidy of 3V value-added car purchase benefits.
In addition, Changan UNI-V has also launched 3 optional configuration packages, including: 1999 yuan of free sound quality package (including SONY audio), 2999 yuan of sports Coldplay package (including the wind sports kit + four exhaust cylinders), 4999 yuan of electric flying wing package (including intelligent electric tail + electric hatchgate).
After the official launch of Changan UNI-V, according to Changan Automobile's planning, it will continue to expand the UNI-V product lineup and launch more power versions in the near future.
Changan Automobile said that this is due to the Ark architecture compatible with the characteristics of diversified powertrains, equipped with the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system and UNI-V equipped with a 2.0T engine is about to land, and will be released as soon as the second quarter of this year.
At that time, UNI-V will become changan automobile's real fist product in the car market, occupying three market segments of entry-level performance vehicles, hybrid performance vehicles and high-performance coupes, which is of pioneering significance in the Chinese brand camp.
