Speaking of Chery's Arrizo series, everyone has more or less heard of it, of which Arrizo 5 and 7 are successful works in different senses. However, due to the problem of slow replacement, the former Arrizo series has only one seedling of Arrizo 5 remains. However, Chery has recently released a new car, which is said to be likely to continue the name of the Arrizo series and is expected to be set as the Arrizo 8. From the shape of this car, it is not difficult to see that it is a major outlet in the current automobile market - the field of sports cars. At present, many sources have reported that the price of this car will be set at between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan, which has a large overlap range with Changan UNI-V. Therefore, compared with the strength of Chery 1.6T and Changan UNI-V, both price and positioning are very suitable. To know that many consumers call Changan UNI-V a relatively rare configuration "ceiling" in domestic sports cars, then Arrizo 8 this time to Changan UNNI-V, how competitive is it?
Suspect UNI-V Ghost Fire? Arrizo 8 family, personality is not wrong
The name of Chery's sports sedan has not yet been clarified, in order to facilitate the name, we still call it Arrizo 8. The Arrizo 8 has attracted a lot of attention in the release of official pictures, and a large part of the credit lies in its sporty appearance. Similar to the Changan UNI-V, the "basic exercises" of sports cars such as large slipbacks, bilateral exhausts, and through-taillights have not fallen. There is also the swooping waist line that has been complained about by consumers on the Arrizo 5, and this time it is also very "persuaded" to be replaced by the more popular straight design at present. Although this front face shape also hit the face of Changan Yidong, but because the body design is full of taste, and it is a bit like the Audi A7, most consumers are still relatively satisfied.

As for the shape of Changan UNI-V, everyone is familiar with it, and the biggest gap between it and Arrizo 8 may be that due to the use of hidden door handles and borderless central network design, it looks more visual sense of new energy vehicles. Under the accumulation of a variety of popular elements, Changan UNI-V makes people feel very fresh. But some people also use the word "ghost fire" to describe it as the same as the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard and the MG 5 Scorpio. In contrast, the overall style of Arrizo 8 is relatively well balanced, and the sense of movement and stability is more harmonious, even if it is used as a household substitute, it will not be too abrupt.
The interior of the Arrizo 8 is more technological and configurable not necessarily higher than the UNI-V
Like the exterior, the interior has never been Chery's selling point. We do not deny Chery's efforts in hardware, but this kind of interior and configuration that is more easily perceived by consumers has been difficult to satisfy consumers for a long time. But fortunately, after the appearance of The Arrizo 8 became younger, the interior part was also "finely decorated". At least the double screen design with blue and white color matching did not give the shape "hind legs".

Its internal sense of atmosphere is exactly the opposite of Changan UNI-V, the center console of Changan UNI-V is biased towards the driver's direction, and the interior is more sporty than the shape. The interior of the Arrizo 8 is relatively simple, highlighting more of a sense of youth and technology, and consumers in this regard take what they need.
According to the information released by the official, Arrizo 8 will be equipped with 10 airbags, seat memory and electric seat adjustment functions, and is expected to be equipped with fatigue monitoring, face recognition and other functions. Because the configuration of Changan UNI-V has indeed given "enough", the Arrizo 8 may not be stronger in this regard.
Chery 1.6T vs Blue Whale 1.5T Who is more attractive?
Chery's 1.6T is currently its main powertrain, which can be seen in the hot-selling models Tiggo 8 and Jietu X70. And it has won the title of "China Heart" top ten engines in 2019, which not only has strong parameter performance, but also is very attractive to consumers. In the future, the Arrizo 8 ordinary version of the model will be equipped with this signature engine, which can be associated with the heat will not be lower than changan UNI-V. Changan UNI-V also uses its own signature Blue Whale 1.5T engine, and in terms of power parameters alone, it did win over the competitor Trumpchi Shadow Leopard at that time. However, compared with Chery's 1.6T engine, its parameter performance is still a little worse.
According to the information obtained from the actual driving of Chery 1.6T and Changan 1.5T models, when the turbine is not fully involved, Chery 1.6T power is not as brisk as Changan 1.5T, but when it exceeds 2000 rpm, it can be clearly felt that the power output of Chery 1.6T is thicker and more continuous.
In addition, in terms of chassis, according to the feedback of many consumers, Chery's many models generally have good handling performance, but the suspension is hard, and it may not be as good as Changan in comfort. This time, Arrizo 8 is taking the sports route, like the torsion beam rear suspension on Arrizo 5 is likely to be abandoned, and what we see on the spy photo is also the multi-link independent suspension of the Zheng'er Eight Classics, which is consistent with Chang'an UNI-V. And the originally manipulative chassis tuning may make it a good fit, which may also become one of its advantages.
summary
Measured by the estimated price point, the two have a tendency to be inseparable in all aspects. Chery's 1.6T engine has stronger parameters, and the configuration level of Changan UNI-V is also very high. Moreover, Chery is often not too "careful" in terms of interior materials, which greatly affects consumers' confidence in car purchase. If Chery can "pick up" the shortcomings in this regard, coupled with a suitable price, it is very confident to resist Changan UNI-V. Just like Chery's other products, the operation of catching the last train will inevitably cause Arrizo 8 to lose some sales.
