preface
With the post-95s and post-00s gradually entering the workplace, the automobile consumer group is gradually younger, and many young people choose the requirements of the first car is "personality" and "sports", and the price cannot be too expensive. Like the compact level of the Civic is a model that many people consider, after all, it has the acceleration ability of the same class, as well as the appearance of sports, and is also one of the representatives of the compact sports joint venture car. Now there are also many Chinese brand models with "personality" and "sports" characteristics, such as the Changan UNI-V that was listed not long ago, and the following is an in-depth comparison of the two cars to give consumers a reference for purchase.
Body size
First of all, in terms of body length, the gap between the two cars is not large, and both have reached the proper level of compact cars. However, the UNI-V is slightly larger than the Civic in terms of length, width and wheelbase, while the UNI-V Sport version is larger than other versions in terms of length due to the blessing of the sports kit, reaching 4695mm.
Front face design
The front face of UNI-V follows the design language of the Changan UNI series, using a borderless grid in the middle net design, but there is a small difference is that the car logo is arranged above the middle net, with the flat layout characteristics of the car, the whole vehicle is more natural and coordinated than the previous UNI series SUV. Friends who like UNI-V's front face design style like it, while friends who don't like it may feel too radical. Coming to the Civic side, the modern Civic front face has become gentler and more restrained than the agile, slightly aggressive front face of the previous generation of Civic, because the modern Civic front face uses a larger area of metal filling design. But in any case, the Civic is still a more athletic player in the same class.
Side styling
Coming to the side, it is undoubtedly the strength of UNI-V. The coupe-style slipback shape, hidden door handles, tight tail side, and the design of the large wheel hub (the smallest of all series are equipped with 18 inches), can be described as the same level of appearance. And to the Civic side, it has changed from the previous generation of sneakback shape to the ordinary sedan shape, and the small window outline of the C-pillar has the appearance of the big brother Yingshipai. In general, the visual experience of the side is not as good as UNI-V, but it can not find any disadvantages, and it belongs to the attractive players.
Tail design
UNI-V's rear layering is very strong, first of all, the upper part of the tail cover is hidden in the same level of rare electric spoiler, down is close to the body of the geometric segment through the taillights, the lower part is more extended movement surrounded, with double exhaust (sports version of the bilateral 4 exhaust), hatchback tailgate, for this level, this price, the value is impeccable. Come to the Civic side, echoing the design of the front face, the tail has also become moderate, the previous generation of iconic design swing C taillights replaced with tail lights similar to their own enjoyment domain, family integrated design more points, while less personality. In addition to the combustion version and the combustion engine version of the new generation of Civic, the expansion of the two-way exhaust, other versions are hidden exhaust, which is puzzling.
Interior aspect
The interior of the two cars has its own characteristics, the highlight of UNI-V is the novel layout, the dashboard, the central control screen and the steering wheel are all flat design, the overall lateral main driving design, but also emphasizes that it is a sports car. The orange stitching is just right, the sense of detail, the sense of high-grade can also account for a few points, in addition, UNI-V also retains a lot of physical buttons, in the current "sense of science and technology" as the name of the pure touch, voice control function, is really rare.
The interior of the Civic emphasizes a practical simplicity, it does not have the UNI-V design of the layout, more is to improve on the basis of tradition, such as the dashboard changed to the current mainstream LCD dashboard, air conditioning outlet grille changed to honeycomb, while the interior workmanship, materials are higher than the previous generation, the new Civic is like improving itself. But in terms of the layering of the interior and the sense of luxurious atmosphere, UNI-V is better than the Civic.
Power combination
Both cars are equipped with 1.5T engines, and the Civic 1.5T is tuned in two versions, but at present, the volume is still a high-power version. Civic 1.5T full range with CVT gearbox, high-power version of the maximum torque of 240N·m, although the maximum torque compared to UNI-V 60 N·m less, but Honda's years of tuning technology accumulation, so that it has a good transmission efficiency, the final power output is also smooth and powerful. The UNI-V series of high-power tuning, engine book data is also good, with a wet dual-clutch transmission, the final 100 km acceleration performance can be achieved in early 7 seconds, belonging to the same level of leadership.
Price configuration
In terms of the same price, the configuration can be said to be UNI-V completely successful, such as the highest configuration of UNI-V and the lowest configuration of the Civic high-power version, compared with the UNI-V increased configuration with front seats to support ventilation and heating, interior mood lights, induction wipers, SONY brand audio, leather steering wheel, steering wheel shift, electric spoiler, etc., and the Civic high-power minimum configuration is 11,000 yuan more expensive than UNI-V.
Edit the summary
UNI-V has a cooler sporty appearance, interior design, while the powertrain and configuration are also remarkable. If as the first car for young people, the UNI-V is indeed a good choice, and if there are higher requirements for power, it can also wait for the later 2.0T version. Civic is not as good as UNI-V in terms of appearance, price and configuration, but it has an absolute advantage in word of mouth, and it cannot see obvious shortcomings in all aspects, which is suitable for friends who value early word of mouth.
