Obviously, it is the ten generations of Civic that has driven the rise of the entire sports car market, but we do not talk about Civic in this article, but want to talk about our own brands. On March 21, Changan Automobile, one of its own brands, launched UNI-V, and if nothing else, simply looking at the shape of this new car is full of sports.
UNI-V is a highly anticipated sports car, and there is already a highly competitive opponent on the market, namely the shadow leopard of GAC Trumpchi. So, which one is stronger or weaker than UNI-V and Shadow Leopard, and which one is recommended for everyone to choose? Let's talk about that.
Since shadow leopard has been on the market, and it has been on the market for a long time, let's first look at the results of this model. Shadow Leopard was launched in August 2021, except for October and November, which won 10,000 sales, other months sold around 5,000 vehicles, and in February this year, perhaps affected by the Spring Festival holiday, only about 2,000 vehicles were sold.
For Shadow Leopard, because it has been listed for a period of time, related reviews have also appeared on the Internet. Among them, the biggest impact should be the performance of 100 km acceleration, understand the car emperor once did a 100 km acceleration test for the shadow leopard, the result is only 8.21 seconds, and the official publicity of 6.95 seconds is very different. The well-known car critic No. 38 once gave Shadow Leopard a comment: "I found that the worst aspect of his whole car, or the aspect that he was least suitable for, was the sportiness. With the above two evaluations, the so-called sports attributes of the shadow leopard can be said to be gone.
As for Changan UNI-V, the official did not disclose the results of the 100 km acceleration, and Yi Che had previously done actual measurements, and the car's 100 km/h acceleration was 7.3 seconds.
In fact, you can compare the engine parameters of the two models, which belong to the same 1.5T, the maximum horsepower of Changan UNI-V is 188 hp, and the peak torque is 300 Nm; the maximum horsepower of the Shadow Leopard is 177 hp, and the peak torque is 270 Nm. So, although we ultimately have to look at the level of adjustment, from the data point of view, Changan UNI-V wins.
To be honest, I think that although the sports car has the label of sports, it does not mean that it must be done to the extreme, which is impossible and unrealistic. So it only needs to be better than the performance of non-sports car, and then enhance the level of some other aspects, it is the best.
For example, in terms of design, Changan UNI-V knows very well how to reflect the meaning of the word sport, and the 4999 yuan optional electric flying wing package is indeed very attractive.
In addition, in terms of configuration, the two models have different ideas. Comparing the UNI-V, which costs 108,900 yuan, and the Shadow Leopard, which costs 108,000 yuan, UNI-V has 360-degree panoramic images, engine start-stop technology, hidden electric door handles, leather steering wheels, 10.3-inch LCD instrument panels, voice recognition control systems, 18-inch wheels and so on. Compared with Shadow Leopard, UNI-V is not only more abundant in configuration, but also has a stronger sense of technology and more trendy attributes.
Auto Network Review: On the product force alone, it is clear which is strong and which is weak
Because Changan UNI-V has just been listed, more measured results need to be known later. Purely from the perspective of product strength, at the same price point, Changan UNI-V is almost crushing the shadow leopard, when the shadow leopard is still stuck in how to enhance the attributes of sports, UNI-V has been based on this to enhance the sense of high-grade.
So, whether it is the parameters or the configuration, it is clear which is strong and which is weak in comparison, which of these two models will you consider?
