Both models launched by the Changan UNI series before were SUVs, and their radical exterior design captured many young consumers. After the success of the market, the Changan brand has launched the UNI series of car products, which is our protagonist today, Changan UNI-V, which is a new car with radical styling, and its arrival will help Changan UNI open the compact car layout.
Recently, Changan UNI-V was officially launched, and the new car was launched with a total of 4 configurations, with a price range of 108,900 to 131,900 yuan. As the third mass production model of the Changan Gravity series, the car once again integrates the sports gene well, and it is definitely a good new choice for the first car of young people, so let's understand how it performs.
Exterior design
Changan UNI-V continues the classic borderless design concept of the UNI family in terms of appearance, in which the car's forward grille is integrated with the narrow and sharp headlight group on the left and right sides, enhancing the integrity and visual tension of the front face design. The inverted trapezoidal grille is huge and occupies almost the entire front face, but because it is a car, it does not show too strong three-dimensional feeling. The new car's headlights use an LED light source inside, but the turn signal uses a light bulb.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are 4680× 1838×1430 mm, and the wheelbase is 2750 mm. The car adopts the concept of short front/rear suspension, long wheelbase, the appearance of the back shape is very good-looking, slender sense is reflected vividly, the shape of the coupe may make you have a feeling of love at first sight.
The rear design of the new model is also very aggressive, and the rear windshield has a very large tilt angle, and there is almost no angle between it and the trunk. The lines at the roof are smooth and smooth, and from a 45-degree angle, you can see that the rear of the car is relatively short and concise. In addition, the model is the only one in its class equipped with an electric rear spoiler, which is very ceremonial after lifting, and the sport version also has exaggerated bilateral four exhausts.
Interior design
Changan UNI-V continues the style of the family's big brother UNI-K in the interior design, and the cabin has a strong sense of layering, while also showing a strong texture in terms of materials. Among them, the new model is equipped with a small three-frame flat-bottom steering wheel directly in front of the main driver, with grooves in the 3:00 and 9:00 directions, and the shape fits the hand shape, and the grip is very full. The flattened dashboard in front of the line of sight displays a lot of information inside, and the navigation map can be displayed in the dashboard by sliding three fingers to the left on the central control screen. In addition, the new car's hovering display screen is equipped with iFLYTEK's latest voice interaction system, which has powerful speech understanding capabilities such as multi-round dialogue, context recognition, and cross-scene recognition.
According to the different configurations, the seats in the new model are wrapped in a mixture of imitation leather and imitation leather + turned fur materials, which support the electric adjustment of the main and passenger seats and the heating of the driver's seat in terms of functions. As a sport-oriented model, the front seats of the new car have good wrapping, and the interior padding is relatively soft, which also ensures a certain sense of comfort.
The rear seats in the car are at the same level as the front row in terms of material application and workmanship, the tilt angle between the backrest and the saddle is more appropriate, the sides have a certain degree of invertedness, the wrapping feeling is good, and the central floor bulge is not obvious, which has less impact on the legroom of the intermediate passengers.
dynamical system
The new model comes standard with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 188 hp and a peak torque of 300 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, the engine is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
