In the segment of compact family cars, Japanese cars have maintained a high sales level, and the Japanese compact family cars represented by Xuanyi and Civic are really so fragrant? Today, everyone should change their thinking, the new Chang'an UNI-V will actually beat Xuanyi and Civic, I don't believe you look below.
The exterior design of UNI-V is stunning, and the unremarkable Xuanyi and Civic are invincible
The exterior design of the three cars is very different, UNI-V can be described as stunning, while the two Japanese players are mediocre.
The exterior design of UNI-V continues the family design style of UNI series models, and the front shape of the car also adopts a borderless middle net design, and the diamond-shaped block middle net is spliced together to create a strong sports effect. The headlights are slender and godly, and the daytime lamps are integrated with the headlights, and the recognition is relatively high.
The biggest design highlights of the UNI-V's body side are the hidden door handles and black samurai-style wheel hub design. The combination of hidden door handles enhances the technological sense of the exterior design, and the black wheels are the finishing touch of sports design, which is very much in line with the aesthetics of young consumers.
The UNI-V's rear styling is equally cool. The design of the through-type taillights is extremely recognizable, and the internal triangular taillights are designed to be more chic. The hatchback tailgate is exactly the design that consumers want, and with the tail wing that can be automatically raised, the real rear design is perfect and highlights a strong personality. In addition, the UNI-V has a bilateral double exhaust design under the rear, highlighting the strength of sports.
The exterior design of Nissan Xuanyi can be said to be a miniature version of the natural sound. Overall, there is a certain sense of movement, the V-shaped middle mesh is embellished with a honeycomb design inside, and the chrome decoration around it is relatively wide, but it is somewhat abrupt on a relatively flat front. The headlight shape is more generally designed and does not bring us a sense of surprise.
Xuanyi's body side lines are relatively smooth, the segmented waist line is more designed, the wheel shape is relatively ordinary, and the black trim on the D-pillar is cleverly designed to create a floating roof feeling. There is still nothing new at the rear of the car, and the recognition of the taillight design is somewhat blurred, and it does not give people a bright feeling.
The Honda Civic was originally a model of sporty design, but now the revamped Civic has little to do with sports. The design of the new Civic is more moderate, and its purpose should be to meet the aesthetics of more consumer groups. The front of the car is still flat design, and the headlights lack the fierceness of the past.
The only thing on the body side of the Civic that can match the sport is the black wheel design, and the petal-shaped wheels are more tension-oriented. Seeing the new Civic rear makes people nostalgic for the very sporty C-shaped taillight design of the previous generation of Civic, and today's Civic rear design can only be said to be bland. There is a shark fin antenna layout on the top, and the exhaust design of the bilateral single out is adopted below, and the tail throat is still embellished without any styling design.
Summary: The difference in the appearance of the three cars is very obvious, the appearance of UNI-V is sporty and stylish, Xuanyi is bland and unremarkable, and Civic has left the original advantages behind. When you see the exterior design of the three cars, do you still feel the fragrance of Japanese cars?
The interior design is not the dish of the Japanese car, and UNI-V defeated two Japanese players
The interior design of the three cars is also very different, let's sit in the car of the three cars to compare and feel the strength of our own brands.
The interior design of UNI-V also adopts the family design style of UNI series models, and the full LCD instrument and the central control screen are arranged in a staggered manner, and the difference in levels creates a different visual feeling. In addition, panoramic AI navigation is also a highlight of UNI-V interior design, the resolution of the three screens is very high, and the display effect is very clear.
UNI-V's steering wheel is uniquely designed, the upper circle is very flat, the purpose is to provide the driver with a better instrument line of sight, multi-function button layout is reasonable, easy to operate. The electronic gear handle is more designed, and like the design of the seat and the center console, the gear handle also adopts the design style of fur mixing and matching, creating a very strong fashion atmosphere.
Xuanyi's interior design adheres to the design style of japanese cars, the floating central control screen size is not large, the full LCD instrument has nothing to do with Xuanyi, even if it is to buy the top model, it is only a 7-inch color screen, still staying in the era of iPhone 6, but is it too "classic"?
Xuanyi's steering wheel grip is very good, the multi-function button is only arranged on the left side, and there is no multi-function button layout on the right side, in order to save cost Nissan is also spelled. Mechanical gear in today's automotive industry, maybe you can only see it on Japanese cars, say it is retro nostalgic, these should be Rolls-Royce, Bentley should do, Xuanyi qualifications are not enough. Then the original intention of this design can only be to save money.
The interior design of the new Civic has made great progress compared to the previous generation, which must be commended. The suspension central control screen and the full LCD instrument are matched, but since it is done, why can not be done seriously, the new Civic central control screen auto parts city style is serious, the screen texture and resolution are frighteningly low. The size of the full LCD instrument is not large, and the plastic border around it is not placed there, some are too abrupt, afraid that the plastic sense is not strong.
Needless to say, the steering wheel of the new Civic has a very good grip, and the multi-function buttons use a combination of physical buttons and mechanical rollers, which is very convenient to operate. Then came the depressing gear handle. The Civic also uses mechanical gear handles, and it is a bit hard to understand why the electronic button gear handles on honda's other models do not appear on a model with a sales base like the new Civic.
Summary: Interior design has never been a dish of Japanese cars, and it is not too much to describe the interior of Japanese cars with nothing, especially Xuanyi and Civic, to design without design, to use materials without materials. Compared with the UNI-V, the interior design of these two cars is completely failed.
The spatial contrast is obvious, and UNI-V is far ahead
The difference in space between the three cars is also obvious, and UNI-V is far ahead.
UNI-V positioning compact car, body size length, width and height are: 4680 * 1838 * 1430mm, wheelbase 2750mm. In our actual experience, the rear space of UNI-V is very spacious, no worse than many medium-sized cars, and the rear head space is also spacious enough, and the head space of about 4 fingers is not depressed. In addition, the flat trunk space platform is not high, and it is very convenient to take things.
Nissan Xuanyi's body size is: 4631*1760*1503mm, wheelbase 2700mm. Xuanyi's spatial performance is decent, and the rear space is sufficient, but the horizontal space is somewhat tense, and if there are three adults sitting in the back seat, it will look cramped. There is no big surprise in the trunk space, and the rear wheel arches on the left and right sides are somewhat large, which has a certain impact on the trunk space.
Civic's body size is 4674*1802*1415mm and wheelbase is 2735mm. Civic's space performance is better than Xuanyi's, the horizontal space in the back row is relatively spacious, the leg space is large enough, and it is worth mentioning that the Civic storage space is more designed and more convenient to use.
Summary: The positioning of the three cars is the same, but the body size is relatively different, UNI-V is larger than the other two cars, in terms of space, UNI-V space is more spacious, the riding experience is also very comfortable.
Japanese power was like a weak chicken, and UNI-V once again reached the top podium
As the saying goes, "Fish and bear paws can't have both". As we all know, the fuel consumption performance of Japanese cars has always been their advantage, but the performance in terms of power is extremely unsatisfactory.
UNI-V is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, which has a maximum horsepower of 188 Ps, which can explode maximum horsepower at a speed of 5500 rpm, a peak torque of 300 Nm, which can erupt in the speed range of 1500-4000 rpm, and with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, it can be said that this powertrain is still more advantageous in the range of 1.5T.
The fuel version of Nissan Xuanyi is still equipped with the well-known 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, which has a maximum horsepower of 135Ps and a peak torque of 159 Nm, with a CVT transmission. This powertrain Nissan Xuanyi has been used for many years. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine is very weak, and the CVT transmission failure rate is high, so Xuanyi's power performance can only be said to be very general.
The new Civic is equipped with two versions of the engine, the high and low power 1.5T engine, of which the low-power version 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 129 Ps and a maximum torque of 180 N m, while the high-power version of the 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 182 Ps and a maximum torque of 240 N m, which is matched with a CVT transmission. The power of the new Civic has been enhanced, but it is still weaker than UNI-V.
Summary: The power comparison of the three cars is more obvious, the UNI-V's 1.5T horsepower is greater, the torque is higher, coupled with the blessing of the 7-speed wet-off dual-clutch transmission, the power output efficiency is higher. On the other hand, the two Japanese cars are still going farther and farther on the road of fuel saving, and the CVT gearbox that has remained unchanged for thousands of years has saved costs and made money, and the accounts of Japanese car companies are very clear and clear.
Talk about cost performance: Japanese have never had a chance
"Talking about cost performance: Japanese have never had a chance"! This sentence is not alarmist, one-sided, on the three car cost performance comparisons in this article, at a glance, UNI-V wins.
We selected the entry-level models of the three cars for comparison, they are: Changan UNI-V 2022 1.5T Excellence (guide price: 108,900), Nissan Xuanyi 2022 1.6XE CVT Comfort Edition (guidance price: 119,000) and Honda Civic 2022 180TURBO CVT Shangdong Edition (guidance price: 129,900).
Although the UNI-V has the lowest guidance price, it is not difficult to see in the comparison of configurations that the UNI-V is full of sincerity, compared with the two Japanese cars, there are many more practical configurations, such as 18-inch wheels, lane departure warning system, active braking, 360 ° panoramic image, front and rear dual radar, ACC full speed adaptive cruise, hidden door handles, leather steering wheel, full LCD instrumentation, leather sports seats, 10.3-inch central control screen, Internet of Vehicles, Led headlights and automatic air conditioners are abundantly configured.
Among the two Japanese cars, Xuanyi's configuration is the lowest, and even the aluminum alloy wheels are not matched, which is also Xuanyi's style all along, and the configuration can be as low as no friends. The new Civic is also relatively rich in configurations, with knee airbags, passive pedestrian protection, fatigue driving tips and other configurations as its only advantages.
Summary: The configuration of the three cars is a huge gap, although they are all entry-level models, but UNI-V is still equipped with 360 ° panoramic image, ACC full speed adaptive cruise and other practical configurations, while the two Japanese cars, can save the attitude still reflects the "excellent style" of Japanese cars. Talking about cost performance with Japanese cars can only be a "dead end".
Write at the end:
The appearance and interior design of the three cars are obviously compared, and the design and materials of UNI-V are more in line with the aesthetics of young consumers. In terms of space, UNI-V has the largest body size and the best spatial performance, coupled with strong power and super cost performance, do you still think that the family compact sedan only has Japanese fragrance?
