On March 28, Changan UNI-Z was officially launched, and a total of three configurations were released, including Blue Whale Zhidian iDD 125km leading type, Blue Whale Zhidian iDD 125km transcendence type, Blue Whale Zhidian iDD 125km excellent type, etc., with an official guide price of 117,900 yuan.
As the first mass-produced model after the release of the new Blue Whale power platform, the Changan UNI-Z is a brand-new model with insight into the needs and trends of the mainstream consumer market. It has created a new electric hybrid product by virtue of the three core advantages of leaping new Blue Whale power, leaping intelligence, and leaping space. Therefore, Douge went to the store today to test drive this new car and experience the performance of these three leap advantages.
In terms of appearance, the UNI-Z continues the design philosophy of the UNI family. The new car features a borderless grille and a parametric dot matrix design, which not only increases the visual width of the front end, but also creates a more futuristic and technological atmosphere. The headlights use LED light clusters, and their sharp streamer shapes make the vehicle more dynamic. In addition, the rear of the new car is designed with through-type taillights, with a mechanical rear wing, making the body more youthful and technological.
The overall body size of Changan UNI-Z is 4730*1890*1660mm, and the class-leading wheelbase of 2795mm creates a spacious and comfortable moving space for drivers and passengers. The side of the body shows the popular fastback shape, different from the traditional single-curved design, the UNI-Z adopts a quadratic surface, and adopts a straight cutting design at the lower curved surface, which makes the side waist more rigid and powerful, injecting a strong sense of dynamism into the vehicle.
In terms of interior, Changan UNI-Z adopts an integrated enveloping cockpit design, presenting a strong atmosphere of luxury and technology. One of the most eye-catching is the large floating central control screen equipped with the vehicle. Combined with the hierarchical information function layout, it adds more intelligent fun to human-computer interaction. At the same time, the center console, armrest box and side door trim are wrapped in a large area of soft leather, bringing a sense of high-end quality to the interior.
It is worth mentioning that Changan UNI-Z has placed a warship-shaped component in the center of the center console near the front windshield, which presents an effect similar to the lights of a nuclear reactor. It is reported that this component is a new ambient light, which can be linked with the driving state of the vehicle to bring an immersive future technological driving experience to the driver and passengers.
In terms of power, the Changan UNI-Z is equipped with the new Blue Whale HE 15 engine and integrates a new plug-in hybrid system. The UNI-Z's hybrid system uses the most advanced 10-layer Hairpin flat wire oil-cooled motor technology, equipped with dedicated dual motors, with a maximum power of 158kW and a maximum torque of 330Nm, and a pure electric range of up to 125 km. Compared with competing models in the same class, UNI-Z has obvious advantages in terms of power performance.
Through the self-developed iEM intelligent high-end control system and the ECMS algorithm for the first mass production application in the industry, UNI-Z realizes the dual driving experience of plug-in hybrid and extended range. This means that car owners can not only enjoy the convenience of plug-in hybrid driving, but also experience the advantages of extended range, which is equivalent to a car having two power types, which makes the UNI-Z more fuel-efficient than traditional extended range models and more comfortable driving experience than ordinary plug-in hybrid models.
Written at the end: After this store visit, Douge can feel the excellent characteristics of Changan UNI-Z as the first mass-produced model of the new Blue Whale power platform. From the exterior design to the interior configuration to the dynamic performance, the UNI-Z has demonstrated outstanding performance, which is fully in line with today's consumers' pursuit of technology, intelligence and driving comfort. It is believed that in the future, Changan UNI-Z is expected to become a leader in the plug-in hybrid vehicle market, bringing consumers a more convenient, efficient and intelligent travel choice.
