Before there were seconds of civic, now there is a "domestic AMG" shadow leopard, the current new car in order to attract the attention of young people, the appearance of cool, flaunting sports has become their essential skills, Changan UNI-V as Changan's latest launch of the car, not only the appearance of high value, but also the electric tail wing blessing, in the appearance of the sense of sport is not worse than other competitors, then this UNI-V open up in the end is not moving? There are also Easter eggs at the end.
01
Blue Whale NE 1.5T amazing?
The Changan UNI-V model equipped with the Blue Whale NE 1.5T engine has a maximum engine power of 138 kW (188 PS), and the engine can burst out a peak torque of 300 N·m at 1500 rpm-4000 rpm. The drivetrain is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which has also been adjusted to provide transient torque and intelligent pre-shift technology for faster downshift speeds. Moreover, Changan officials have also stated that in the future, models equipped with 2.0T engines will be launched, and it is expected to match the Aisin 8AT transmission. Of course, the iDD hybrid system on Changan UNI-K will also appear on Changan UNI-V in the future.
Back to the point, the model of this test drive is equipped with a 1.5T engine, and it is not a sporty model with four exhausts, if you feel less interesting, it can only be said that you have a small pattern. Everything must be adjusted, who was not a man who did not return home at night, and after having a baby, he must not be as good as the eleventh generation of Civic?
Really on the absolute power, as long as you start still and are willing to give oil, you can still easily break through the grip limit of the Ma brand MC6 tire (tire width 235!). And people also have the catapult start function. The small inertia turbine not only greatly reduces the phenomenon of turbo lag, but also gives you a faster power response and a good explosive force at low and medium speed.
Of course, these are all thanks to the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which has also been adjusted to have transient torque and intelligent pre-retarding technology, which can bring faster downshift speed.
When you use the paddle shifter behind the steering wheel to downshift or upshift, you will find that the gearbox takes less time to downshift than the upshift, which is one of the reasons why the UNI-V can have a faster power response.
Is it that the downshift is faster, and the shift is more obvious? This time arranged in the mountain city of Chongqing test drive, in the morning departure is faced with this large number of ramp start and slope with the car stop and go, but the whole process did not feel the gearbox has a significant setback, even the common pulling action of the double clutch transmission did not appear, this set of Blue Whale 1.5T engine and 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission with the cooperation, so I think of the previous Suns Nash and Stoudemire tacit understanding, one only manage the pass, one only dunk.

The chassis reminds me of the Lynk & Co 03
Although the shadow leopard is very popular recently, but I think this car is more like the Lynk & Co 03, especially the chassis tuning, the rightmost lane on the expressway in Chongqing will often have a large number of manhole covers with larger depths, but when I press past at a higher speed, I am still like will there be obvious body jumping or even out of control? But the suspension action is very crisp, the body posture is not hesitant, the body shaking is not obvious, this level of autonomous sedan, only Lynk & Co 03 can give me such an experience.
The same is true when jumping through the high-speed bridgehead, throwing down the suspension system quickly pulled the body, and there was no excess vibration, before everyone said that the shaky riding experience of driving a boat was more comfortable, but now we young people are going to be fast and stable!
So UNI-V is a comfortable home car? Comfort is there, but sportiness is not lost. When changing lanes quickly or bending, the body roll is not obvious, and although the chassis filters out the subtle vibrations of the road surface, the raised patches on the road surface can also be transmitted to the car, or retain a certain sense of communication between people and vehicles.
And UNI-V's steering feel is more interesting than Lynk & Co 03, the steering wheel steering feel will become heavier or lighter with different driving modes, but even if you adjust to the standard mode, it will not have a strong electronic flavor like Lynk & Co 03, but this small size of the upper and lower flat-bottom steering wheel, really a bit of a game console feeling.

Speaking of steering wheels, it's exciting!
If you've seen a video of my previous static experience, you know I said that the steering wheel blocks the dashboard's view. I prefer a lower driving position, where the steering wheel edge blocks about a quarter of the dashboard, and I can only lower the steering wheel or raise the seat, which is the case with the last test drive in a French car.
But I am only 1.73 meters tall, and I like to sit low, if you are tall, or do not have the habit of sitting low, it is estimated that this situation will not occur, it seems that I can only blame me for being too short...
In addition to the steering wheel, the hatchback design of the UNI-V back box is not separated like a traditional sedan, and a certain noise can be found from the rear on the high speed, and the quietness of the carriage is general.
The wheelbase of UNI-V is 2750mm, and the wheelbase is longer than that of Civic and Xuanyi, but in order to pursue the high value of the long front, the actual interior space is not as exaggerated as the wheelbase, and the home is enough, but it is not spacious.
04
The handsome is finished
In addition to the above points mentioned to these, for this UNI-V I really can't find more slots, after all, he is really handsome. Even if we did not test drive a sports model, UNI-V is still pinched to death in terms of appearance and temperament.

Interior sci-fi
06
Automatic lane change with lights!
In terms of intelligent assisted driving, this UNI-V can also surprise me! In addition to the APA 6.0 remote valet parking system, it is equipped with a high-end intelligent driver assistance system that can also realize the operation of high-speed lights and automatic lane changes like the new car-making forces.
The operation method is very simple, press the "AUTO" button on the left side of the steering wheel to achieve automatic lane change with the turn signal. Are you actually in a hurry? At first, I was a little scared, but after activating the high-level intelligent driver assistance system, not only will it maintain an appropriate (farther) distance from the car in front, if there is a car in the left lane, even if you hit the turn signal system, it will not force into the left lane, and safety is the most important.
And the process of automatic lane change is not abrupt, such as the speed of 100km/h I set, the speed of the slow car in front of me is 80km/h, at this time, the left turn signal is played, after confirming the safety of the left lane, the vehicle will slowly change lanes, and after changing lanes, it will not slam on the accelerator to accelerate to 100km/h, but slowly accelerate, the whole process and action is still relatively smooth and soft. However, when you are merged into the left lane, the vehicle does not automatically turn off the left turn signal, or the driver needs to manually turn off, if the OTA can automatically turn off the turn signal after changing lanes, it is more perfect.

Or sell 110,000-130,000, and open pre-sale on January 10!
In fact, before participating in the test drive activity, I specifically asked changan 4S store sales, and the news they have learned so far is that UNI-V is expected to be priced at 110,000-130,000 yuan. And Changan officials also announced the latest news, the new car will open pre-sale on January 10, but the current news will only pre-sell a configuration model.
11-13 million this price, the starting price is a little more expensive than the current very hot Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, and the price of MG 6 PRO is basically the same, it is estimated that the top price and Lynk & Co 03 1.5T model is comparable, if you really sell this price, how do you think the strength of UNI-V? Can it attract you?
In my opinion, the design of UNI-V is indeed outstanding, with a little elegance in sports, although it is not very fast in practice, but the chassis tuning is not lost to the Japanese players who are mainly comfortable at the same price, and even give you a little driving pleasure. If you want to buy a high-value car for daily transportation, this car is completely competent, but if you have a more pursuit of power, then it is recommended that you wait, after all, there are 2.0T models in the future!
