AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/11 Report--

In the latest issue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology declaration catalogue, we obtained the Changan UNI series brand-new model declaration chart, the new car is named UNI-V. As the first car in the UNI series, the new car will be unveiled during the Guangzhou Auto Show in November.

Combined with the declaration map and the previous official notice map, the front face of the new car continues to use the design style of the Changan UNI family, using the borderless design concept, the front face uses inverted trapezoidal grille, and the net design gradually transitions to trapezoids and triangles on both sides, showing a strong sci-fi effect. The new car uses an integrated headlamp design, the shape is long and narrow and sharp, and the interior uses a large number of triangular elements to form an ingenious echo with the shape on the forward air grille.

The smooth lines on the side of the body, the waistline extending from the front to the rear, coupled with the large slip-back design at the C-pillar and 18-inch sports wheels make the car look more dynamic and powerful. The rear of the car uses through-type taillights and electric tail wings, and the bottom is designed with two rectangular exhaust pipes on both sides. As can be seen from its tail mark, the new car will be named "UNI-V". In terms of size, the length, width and height of Changan UNI-V are 4680/1838/1430mm and wheelbase 2750mm respectively.

In terms of interior decoration, the specific layout has not yet been officially announced, but from the spy photos previously exposed, the Changan UNI-V will use an LCD dashboard, a central LCD screen and a steering wheel similar to the UNI-T, and the new car will still retain physical buttons in the air-conditioned area. In terms of power, the Changan UNI-V will be equipped with a new 1.5T BlueKing engine with a maximum power of 138kW, which will match a 7-speed wet double clutch gearbox.

It is worth noting that there were media reports a few days ago that the Changan UNI series may be upgraded to an independent brand and is likely to be announced together with the first UNI series sedan to be unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November. In addition, in addition to upgrading the UNI series to a brand, Chang'an will also establish an offline experience store dedicated to the UNI brand in order to more accurately grasp the actual needs and pain points of users. Subsequently, the media contacted Changan Automobile, and the other party replied that "there is no accurate news at present."

Although the independence of the Changan UNI series has yet to be confirmed, Changan Automobile is setting up an offline experience store dedicated to the UNI brand, which is named "UNI Service offline experience Store". According to the public source search (prequalification) announcement from the UNI Service offline experience store design project, Changan Automobile has initially planned five cities: Chongqing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Jinan and Changsha. According to the date on which the project is made public, the tender has been completed. Changan Automobile said in the announcement that it hopes to achieve multi-dimensional interactive access among brands, stores and car owners through the experience store, and finally maximize customer life cycle value through the promotion of owner loyalty, and become the brand advocate and brand partner of Changan Automobile.

As we all know, there are UNI-T and UNI-K models in Changan UNI series at present. The first product, UNI-T, was officially launched on June 21, 2020, with an official guiding price of 11.39-133900 yuan. UNI-K, the second model of Changan UNI series, was officially launched on March 18, with a price range of 15.39-184900 yuan. The data show that the cumulative sales of UNI-T in the first half of the year were 45884, and the cumulative sales of UNI-K from April to June in 2021 were 14411.

For this brand-new model, some netizens said that "Changan UNI-KTV has been gathered together", while others commented that "it is really pretty". In recent years, Changan Automobile has benefited from the continuous hot sales of CS75 series, CS55 series and Changan Yiyou, coupled with the update of products and power system, there are still many consumer recognition in the market. After the launch of the UNI series, short-term sales are also considerable, as for whether the new Changan car UNI-V can be loved by the market, this has yet to be verified by the market.
