Speaking of Changan's UNI series, I believe many friends will associate with UNI-T and UNI-V, with its cool appearance and good product performance, it has become the first choice for many young consumers. No, in order to better enrich the product line, Changan has brought a new plug-in hybrid model - Changan UNI-Z. As a new member of the UNI series, Changan UNI-Z still maintains an avant-garde and dynamic exterior design, so what is the actual performance? Let's take a look!
The Changan UNI-Z, which is a compact SUV, is in direct competition with the BYD Song PLUS DM-i. The whole series is available in three configuration versions, and the official guide price is 117,900-130,900 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the first impression of Changan UNI-Z is avant-garde sci-fi, which is somewhat similar to the Auchan Z6, which was previously known as the title of robot SUV. The large inverted trapezoidal grille and the aggressively shaped headlamp combination give the front end an aggressive look. In addition, the interior of Changan UNI-Z's grille has also been decorated with dot matrix chrome sheets, which has further improved the sense of grade.
Moving to the side of the body of the Changan UNI-Z, thanks to the smooth and stretched lines and floating roof, it presents a full stylish and dynamic posture. And the aluminum alloy wheels similar to the petal shape have also become the finishing touch, and the sense of grade is worth affirming. Although Changan UNI-Z does not use the current popular hidden door handles, and the visual appearance is not as simple as the mainstream new energy models, the practical performance is still quite good, especially in the cold winter, there will be no embarrassing situation of not being able to open the door. The size part, with a length, width and height of 4730/1890/1680mm, and a wheelbase of 2795mm, whether it is a length of more than 4.7 meters or a wheelbase of nearly 2.8 meters, it has reached the upstream level of the same level.
At the rear, the design style of the Changan UNI-Z echoes the shape of the front face. It can be seen from the real picture that the combination of exquisite taillights not only has a high degree of recognition after being lit, but also has a cool lighting texture. In addition, the wing-style spoiler and diffuser-style lower surround designed on the roof also give itself a strong combat attack charm.
Entering the front row of Changan UNI-Z, the wrap-around center console layout is used, and the color matching of Shuangpin and the 14.6-inch central control display screen can be said to have achieved both luxury and avant-garde. It is worth mentioning that Changan UNI-Z also has many bright spots in terms of intelligent performance. Aside from the conventional car machine functions, such as gesture control, facial recognition, and on-board KTV, etc., are all equipped on Changan UNI-Z. Rising to the high-end version, automatic parking, memory parking, parallel assist, DOW door opening warning, etc. are not absent. Seeing this, it is estimated that everyone can see the sincerity of Changan UNI-Z, after all, under the premise that the pre-sale price of the top configuration is less than 140,000, you can experience the intelligent high-end configuration that leapfrogs, what else is there to be picky about?
In terms of space, as mentioned earlier, Changan UNI-Z has the size data of the upstream of the same class, plus the space layout is more reasonable, so even if an adult male with a height of 180cm sits in the back row, he can also get spacious leg and headroom. And the seat layout is relatively wide, and the interior padding is relatively soft, so there is no doubt about the ride comfort. The rear seats can be reclined and can easily cope with the daily need to transport large items.
Finally, looking at the hardware of Changan UNI-Z, the plug-in hybrid power system is a combination of 1.5L engine + motor. The motor has a book parameter of 158kW/330Nm, and is matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. It is equipped with a lithium iron carbonate battery pack with a capacity of 18.4 kWh and has an all-electric range of up to 125 km. In the case of feeding, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.15L, which shows that the fuel economy of Changan UNI-Z is commendable.
Generally speaking, Changan UNI-Z, as a new work of the UNI series, has a comprehensive innovation in internal and external design, coupled with high-end intelligent performance and mainstream hardware performance, which has become its own killer feature. In addition, the starting price of 117,900 yuan can also be better accepted by potential consumers, and the high cost performance can be regarded as the real label of Changan UNI-Z. Personally, it is not difficult for Changan UNI-Z to become a strong rival of Song PLUS DM-i and a number of joint venture fuel vehicles, so let's wait and see
