At the same time, configurations such as IMS Intelligent Cockpit Interaction System, iFLYTEK Voice Interaction System, Gesture Interaction, 540-degree Panoramic Image, SONY Audio, APA 6.0 Automatic Parking and other configurations have not fallen, making it very convenient and practical to use.

For a long time, cars have been a short board for Chinese brands, and there are not many who can really compete with joint venture brands. However, with the arrival of the wave of intelligence and rejuvenation, it has also given some Chinese brands the opportunity to "overtake in curves", of which the sports car market that can highlight personalization may be one of them. To this end, Changan Automobile has launched the UNI-V model with the sports coupe as the starting point.
As the first five-door hatchback coupe bred by the Ark architecture, UNI-V perfectly interprets the core values of the future technology pre-positioning, human-vehicle integration gene, experience design diversification, and quality experience of the Ark architecture, coupled with the highly competitive price, the threshold is not so high, and it is expected to lead the Chinese brand sedan to open a round of upward channel.
