In recent years, the label for family cars has gradually changed from comfort to sport. In the current automobile market, where the proportion of young consumer groups is increasing, taking the sports style can indeed make the new car have a relatively high degree of popularity from the beginning, from Lynk & Co 03, to last year's Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, and then to this year's Changan UNI-V. Especially Changan UNI-V, the addition of electric tail and hatchback design makes it more brilliant in appearance. So, it's been a while since UNI-V went public, how is it doing in the market? Compared with the price point is close, the positioning of the Trumpchi shadow leopard, what is the difference?
1.5T performance car, can also be quite fuel-efficient?
Since they are all sports-oriented cars, the performance in power will naturally not disappoint us. At this point, Changan UNI-V and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard both give a power structure of 1.5T+7DCT, and both "squeeze" the horsepower of the 1.5T engine to about 180 horses, such as the maximum horsepower of the UNI-V is 188Ps and the maximum torque is 300N·m; the maximum horsepower of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is 177Ps and the maximum torque is 270N·m. For their weight of only 1.4 tons, such power brings faster than the joint venture model of the same level of zero hundred acceleration results is not a problem.
In addition to bringing driving pleasure, Changan UNI-V and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard are also relatively well controlled in fuel economy. On the basis of only needing to refuel No. 92 gasoline, trumpchi shadow leopard's NEDC 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.7L, while Changan UNI-V has a fuel consumption of 6.2 L per 100 km under the WLCTC standard. Given the differences between the two test criteria, the actual fuel consumption performance of the two vehicles may be maintained at the same level.
Of course, while pursuing performance, Changan UNI-V and Shadow Leopard have not forgotten the market aesthetic of "great beauty". For example, the body length of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard has reached 4.7 meters, while the Length of Changan UNI-V is not as long as the Shadow Leopard, but the wheelbase of 2750mm is more advantageous. Moreover, the movement of the hatchback structure not only makes the Changan UNI-V have a sports car-like low lying feeling, but also brings greater space and flexibility in the use of the trunk, and has made a further lead in the practicality of the interior space.
Do you want an electric rear wing, or is the seat heated?
In addition to the differences in power and space, Changan UNI-V and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard also have differences in body configuration. Take Changan UNI-V for example, at present, the most cost-effective model in Changan UNI-V is the sub-low premium type, which is not only equipped with the functions of electric tail and electric trunk that need to be selected for low matching, but also makes up for the shortcomings of the low-equipped excellent type of technology, and the product force is more abundant. In addition, even after adding the 1999 yuan 10-speaker SONY audio, as well as the 2999 yuan sports kit, four-out exhaust cylinder and other optional packages, the price is still more advantageous than the sports version, for the vast majority of friends who choose UNI-V for appearance and performance, the sub-low premium type is enough.
On the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard side, although the entry-level version of J10 has been able to experience the performance characteristics of the shadow leopard, the active and passive safety configuration and driving assistance functions on the car are somewhat "shabby". In contrast, the second top with J15 version of the model is more worth choosing, in addition to the wheel rim increased to 18 inches, the style is more cool, and the car has more front parking radar, front seat heating and automatic air conditioning and other functions, the substantive safety and comfort are enough to rival the top match, at a price of 118,000 yuan can be said to be a great value for money.
Through the above comparison, we can find that the J15 version of Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is more expensive than the Chang'an UNI-V premium type by more than 1,000 yuan. However, the configuration orientation of the two vehicles is different, Changan UNI-V pays more attention to creating an intelligent car experience, including facial recognition, full-speed adaptive cruise and other functions, while Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is better in comfort.
Landing more than 130,000, all have to wait for the car, who do you choose?
As for the terminal market situation of the two cars, because Changan UNI-V has just been listed, basically it is sold at a parity, counting the hard car purchase cost, the landing price of the sub-low premium type is about 135,000 yuan, but unfortunately, the current car situation of Changan UNI-V is relatively tense, and it is necessary to wait at least a month or so to pick up the car after the booking, and the details can be seen in the following table:
And Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, the market situation and Changan UNI-V are generally similar, the car source needs to wait for a period of time, including insurance, purchase tax and other costs, the hot-selling J15 version of the model landing price is almost 135,000 yuan. In this way, whether you want to buy Changan UNI-V or Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, you need to come up with a budget of more than 130,000 yuan, and you need to wait for a relatively long booking cycle.
Finally, let's take a look at the maintenance of the two cars and the information of the used car
Changan UNI-V is the first guarantee at 5,000 kilometers, and the subsequent maintenance is carried out every 10,000 kilometers, and the small maintenance is about 600 yuan. If you drive 60,000 kilometers for three years for a large maintenance cycle, in addition to the first insurance free, then the total cost of changan UNI-V three years of routine maintenance is almost 5500 yuan, the average annual maintenance cost is 1830 yuan.
Trumpchi Shadow Leopard has to be maintained every 5000km, and the price of small maintenance is about 288 yuan. The maintenance cost of driving 60,000 kilometers of The Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is about 5,800 yuan, and the average annual cost is about 1,933 yuan.

In addition, in terms of second-hand cars, Changan UNI-V has just been listed, and there are not many used car sources for reference, and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard only has some car sources that were licensed last year, and the reference value is not particularly large. As can be seen from a mainstream second-hand car website, the shadow leopard on the brand in September last year sold the J15 version of the model, the landing price at that time should be in the early 130,000, more than half a year, after driving 19,000 kilometers, the current second-hand car price is 120,000 yuan.
