Used car purchase index: Changan UNI-T

Although the purchase of used cars is the most affordable choice for consumers, there will always be some concerns, fearing that accident cars, water soaking cars, overhaul cars and other issues of vehicles will be selected. In fact, compared with the physical depreciation (tangible loss), the "original car manufacturing quality" factor mentioned in the comprehensive analysis method of used cars is often ignored. In addition, the source of used cars, price trends and recalls are also important factors in judging whether a used car is worth buying. As a leading defective automobile product information collection platform in China, based on massive big data analysis, Car Quality Network will successively conduct a comprehensive evaluation of second-hand models of various brands, so as to provide direct and effective reference information for everyone. The evaluation objects of this period are Changan UNI-T models of each year, and the detailed analysis can be found below.

First, the model year analysis:

Models 2020-2022 are within the range of options

As the first model in the Changan UNI family, UNI-T has received widespread attention from the market since its debut. The focus is on the advanced design approach, making it hard to imagine that it came from a Chinese brand. For Changan, with the UNI-T otherworldly design concept, this car has also brought rich order sales to Changan, less than two years after the listing, the second-hand car market has accumulated a certain amount of car sources, today, we will take a look at how Changan UNI-T performed in the second-hand car market.

Changan UNI-T was officially launched in June 2020, and the car adopts a very sci-fi styling design as a whole, and the visual effect is very prominent. Among them, the front face of the car adopts a very exaggerated borderless middle net design, and the split headlight groups on both sides are also cleverly integrated in the front face shape, making the front face of the whole car have a strong recognition. The side posture also looks quite sporty, and the tall waistline with the large black rim makes the whole car have a strong recognition. The tail shape is relatively peaceful, the design is also very layered, coupled with a very design of the bilateral four-out exhaust, the overall feeling is very in line with the aesthetics of young consumers.

At present, in the domestic second-hand car market, Changan UNI-T has a common generation of models, although the car has undergone two small modifications during the period, but mainly for the interior details of the configuration has been upgraded, the overall change is not large. In addition, the 2020-2022 models of the car are all national VI emission standards, and it is not a problem for first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen to be licensed. On the whole, the 2020-2022 models are within the range of options.

Second, the market price analysis:

The 2020 model model is relatively cost-effective

Usually, at the time of the iteration of automobile products, the old models sold are greatly preferential due to inventory clearance, and sometimes even the price of second-hand cars is "upside down". Then, how is the current changan UNI-T second-hand car market, the car quality network integrates the second-hand car home, Guazi used car and other second-hand car platform quotations, and comprehensively derives the price range of the market car source for consumer reference.

Judging from the above-mentioned second-hand car prices, due to the short time of Changan UNI-T to the market, the price of used cars in the market is generally high. Among them, the price of the second-hand car of the 2020 model is about 80% of the guidance price of the new car in that year, which is relatively cost-effective. The price of used cars after 2021 models (inclusive) is still firm, and the cost performance is relatively low. Therefore, from the perspective of factors such as the difference in the appearance of iterative products, the price of used cars and the use tax of vehicles and ships in the later period, the 2020 Changan UNI-T used cars are relatively more cost-effective.

Third, the second-hand car source analysis:

There are many vehicles in the southern region

The proportion of models in 2020 is the highest

When selecting second-hand cars, whether the market supply is sufficient is also one of the key issues for consumers. If the supply of vehicles is sufficient, on the one hand, consumers have more choices, and on the other hand, they also increase the opportunity for further bargaining. If the source of vehicles is relatively insufficient or very few, it may have a greater impact on whether consumers continue to buy the car. With reference to the data of Renren Car and used car home platform, the statistics show that the current national used car source of 2020-2022 Changan UNI-T is: 19 car sources released by Renren Car and 145 vehicles released by second-hand car home. From the perspective of proportion, the 2020 models occupy the absolute main force of the market, and the proportion of single-year models has reached 85%, while the 2021 and 2022 models account for a relatively small proportion.

From the perspective of the regional distribution of used car sources, the sum of Changan UNI-T used car sources in Six provinces of Sichuan, Zhejiang, Chongqing, Guangdong, Hunan and Shaanxi has approached 70% of the national total. Among them, the proportion of models with one year of age is the highest, reaching 78%. There is also a certain proportion of models that are less than 1 year old, accounting for 22%.

Fourth, the quality of word-of-mouth analysis:

Complaints are involved in all yearly paragraphs

The 2020 model has the highest complaints

Consumers often ignore the "original car manufacturing quality" factor when choosing used cars, but in fact this is a very important indicator when choosing used cars. To this end, based on a large number of real car owner complaints, through professional data analysis, the quality assessment of Changan UNI-T products, from which to find out possible batch quality defects, to provide consumers with more direct and effective reference information.

According to the statistics of the vehicle quality network, from January to December 2021, the car quality network accepted a total of 133 complaints about the simple quality problems of Changan UNI-T models, and the 2020-2022 models were involved. Judging from the typical complaints, the number of complaints about fault problems such as "audio-visual system failure", "transmission setback" and "transmission oil leakage" is relatively concentrated. Through further analysis, it is known that most of the above faults are concentrated in the 2020 models. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers can focus on these aspects when purchasing the above-mentioned annual models.

Overall, in addition to the relatively high number of complaints about the 2020 models, the complaint volume of the remaining annual models of Changan UNI-T remains at a low level, and there is no common defect problem.

From the proportion of mileage traveled for the first time, the total proportion of faults within 20,000 kilometers reached 91%. The side also reflects that the time for Changan UNI-T to fail after the purchase of the new car is relatively high, the probability of failure after the use of the vehicle is larger, and there is a certain room for improvement in the overall quality of the product.

V. Recall Analysis:

There are no recall records in China

There is no recall record in China So far, Changan UNI-T has not issued a recall announcement in China.

summary

Through the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that when purchasing Changan UNI-T second-hand models, there are complaints about the 2020-2022 models, and the time for the failure of the new Changan UNI-T car is also relatively high, and the side also reflects that there is room for improvement in the overall quality and reputation performance of the car. From the performance of each year's models, the 2020 models perform relatively well in terms of cost performance and market ownership, and it is recommended that priority be given when purchasing. However, you also need to pay attention to whether it has the above fault problems before purchasing, and you can query in time through the Car Quality Network Mini Program or the Car Quality Network App.
