Starting at 117,900 yuan, it can reach 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds, can be plug-in hybrid or extended range, Changan UNI-Z new energy vehicle is photographed

With a budget of about 100,000 yuan, buying an SUV that is worry-free, fuel-efficient, and has a large space is the demand of most ordinary people. Based on the above requirements, plug-in hybrid SUVs of Chinese brands are closer to everyone's needs. Of course, I personally recommend products from large manufacturers first, after all, the quality is guaranteed. The Changan UNI-Z new energy vehicle that we are going to test drive today seems to have met the above needs. What other product highlights does the car have? Today, taking advantage of this test drive, let's talk about it in detail.

Changan UNI-Z

Changan UNI-Z New Energy currently has 3 models on sale, with a guide price range of 117,900 to 131,900 yuan. As a plug-in hybrid compact SUV, I think the price of Changan UNI-Z New Energy is very sincere. By the way, after the launch of Changan UNI-Z New Energy, the cumulative sales volume exceeded 33,000 units in four months, and the market recognition is very high. Let's analyze the product strength of the car.

For an SUV of Changan UNI-Z New Energy, the appearance is very important, so let's start with the appearance. Changan UNI-Z New Energy adopts a Vientiane design. The 6 rows of 56 parametric flying wing borderless grilles on the front of the car are quite large in size and have a strong visual impact. At the same time, the shape of Changan UNI-Z New Energy is relatively tall, and with the angular lines, it looks very atmospheric visually. At the rear of the car, Changan UNI-Z New Energy adopts a fastback design and is equipped with a mechanical rear wing, which has a more prominent overall sense of sportiness. In terms of appearance, I think Changan UNI-Z New Energy has a strong momentum and a strong sense of grade.

As for the interior, Changan UNI-Z New Energy adopts a horizon-style center console design, and the interior also adopts a dual-color layout. The car we got uses a quiet light gray + black color scheme, and the overall visual effect is relatively elegant. I personally like this design. At the same time, Changan UNI-Z New Energy adopts an electronic gear lever design, combined with the two large screens inside, the overall sense of technology is also more prominent. As far as the interior is concerned, I think the atmosphere of Changan UNI-Z New Energy is still quite in place.

Next, let's take a look at the configuration of Changan UNI-Z new energy. After all, this is also the strength of our domestic cars. First of all, Changan UNI-Z new energy is equipped with a car networking system, which can realize mobile phone APP control of the car, full-scene smart navigation, and in-vehicle APP expansion. It can also be transformed into a mobile karaoke room and a car gym in seconds. At the same time, Changan UNI-Z new energy is also equipped with an extremely intelligent AI voice assistant, which can realize voice interaction inside and outside the car. I got the real car and I also experienced it. The overall response speed and recognition rate are quite satisfactory. Secondly, the entire Changan UNI-Z new energy system is equipped with L2-level assisted driving functions as standard. The 100% configuration rate of new energy vehicles is worthy of praise, and the car integrates full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist and other functions. If it is a long-distance trip, this function can greatly relieve driving fatigue. If it is a daily car, it can also improve the safety of travel. This is indeed a good comment for Changan UNI-Z new energy.

For SUVs, space and practicality are unavoidable aspects, let's take a look at the specific performance of Changan UNI-Z New Energy. In terms of size, the length, width and height of Changan UNI-Z New Energy are 4730, 1890 and 1660mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2795mm. Although it is positioned as a compact SUV, from the actual size point of view, Changan UNI-Z New Energy is actually close to the level of medium-sized SUVs, and it is also a first-class level among compact SUVs. In terms of specific space, taking my height of 178cm as an example, there is ample space in the front and back rows of Changan UNI-Z New Energy. Moreover, the front seats of Changan UNI-Z New Energy are equipped with seat ventilation function as standard, and the comfort in summer is excellent.

In the back row, the floor of the Changan UNI-Z new energy vehicle also adopts a flat design, so even if you sit in the middle position, you will not feel cramped. In addition, the backrest angle of the Changan UNI-Z new energy vehicle is 28°, which I think is just right, and you will not feel tired even if you sit for a long time.

In terms of cargo, in the conventional 5-seat state, the trunk volume of Changan UNI-Z New Energy is 638L, which is excellent among compact SUVs. At the same time, the rear seats of Changan UNI-Z New Energy support proportional folding, and the maximum volume can be expanded to 1425L, taking into account flexibility and expansion capabilities. In addition, the car is equipped with an electric tailgate as standard, which is also very practical.

Since it is a test drive, we naturally have to talk about the driving experience of Changan UNI-Z New Energy. As a hybrid car, the performance of the power system is particularly worthy of attention. Let's also focus on the power performance of the car. Changan UNI-Z New Energy is equipped with the new Blue Whale power platform. The entire hybrid system consists of the new Blue Whale hybrid high-efficiency dedicated engine, the new Blue Whale hybrid dedicated dual-motor electric drive, the new Blue Whale hybrid dedicated electronic control, and the Golden Bell Battery and other hardware. In terms of the specific system working mode, in addition to supporting pure electric driving, Changan UNI-Z New Energy also has two power forms: plug-in hybrid and extended-range. You can manually lock the plug-in hybrid or extended-range mode, or you can choose the smart switching mode. It can be said that one car has dual uses.

In the final product presentation, the maximum power of Changan UNI-Z New Energy reaches 158kW, the maximum torque reaches 330N·m, and the whole vehicle can reach 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds, which is very powerful. At the same time, the pure electric range of Changan UNI-Z New Energy reaches 125km, and in the actual test of Dongchedi, the pure electric range of Changan UNI-Z New Energy reaches 179.8km, and the range achievement rate is 143.8%, which is obviously another case of reverse false labeling. A more solid pure electric range will also make you feel more at ease in daily use.

During our test drive, I was deeply impressed by the smoothness, NVH, and power of the Changan UNI-Z New Energy. Based on the characteristics of the electric motor, we will not explain the smoothness in detail. Thanks to the explosive power of the electric motor, the power response speed of the Changan UNI-Z New Energy is very fast. After stepping on the accelerator deeply, the acceleration feeling is also quite obvious. When overtaking, such power can give people strong confidence. In addition, even if the engine is involved, there is almost no obvious noise or vibration in the car, and the overall NVH control is very decent, which I think is also worthy of praise.

In conclusion: After the test drive of Changan UNI-Z New Energy, I was quite surprised by the power system of this car. Whether it is the power output, NVH control, or solid endurance, I can directly feel the car-making skills of large manufacturers such as Changan Automobile. At the same time, the space and intelligent technology of Changan UNI-Z New Energy are also plus points for this car. In summary, I think Changan UNI-Z New Energy is still worth buying. If you want to buy a new energy SUV, you might as well continue to pay attention to it.
