And it is UNI-T that has completed my vanity, a name that Brother Qing has been thinking about for almost half a year.
With the national test drive activity slowly recovering, there are reports about UNI-T on the Internet these two days. In line with the principle of "not wordy", I don't want to introduce this new car routinely today, but I will analyze the details for you.
0 1
When I was a child, what kind of articles would make people "collapse" the most? It must be the kind of article with only a few lines of text and more than half of comments, because they represent countless details between the lines. UNI-T is such a detailed product that can make the OEM "collapse".
At the same time, cars are industrial products, which means that there will be real money behind every "good-looking detail". Similar to those young ladies who fly to South Korea for plastic surgery, those affectionate phoenix eyes are clearly priced.
UNI-T's "charming" front face, the biggest hero is the endless grille composed of 150 diamond decorative blocks, which is also the most confusing place of its fuel vehicle identity.
There is a simple reason. New energy vehicles do not need air intake grille, and can be decorated at the position of "grille". However, UNI-T is a real fuel car. The shape of the air intake grille will directly affect the air intake and heat dissipation effect. The only way to do it on the final production model is to increase funds. It is not difficult to imagine how much manpower and material resources Chang 'an has invested in this face from the repeated argumentation in the early stage to the material selection and mold making in the later stage.
Including when you sit in the cab and look at the rearview mirror, you will find that the body inside the mirror protrudes high, and at that moment you seem to be driving a Ferrari. This feeling is not groundless, but also smashed with money.
Why is it difficult for us to see a streamlined body similar to super running on ordinary models? That's because such a process is really demanding. Just like if you fold a piece of paper in half, you will get a more stable shape, but if you want to twist that piece of paper into a spiral shape without creases and keep it, it is almost impossible; This is similar to the sheet metal process. The sheet metal itself is elastic, which leads to that the body with a large arc is the representative of the "Gao Fushuai" of the automobile circle, but for the sake of visual effect, they also throw caution to the wind.
These two details should be the most "burning money" in the whole appearance.
In addition, there are many interesting details of the new car worth studying. A cross-shaped LED light group is integrated in the air intake grille, which lights up with the headlights. You can understand it as a "night light". This configuration is purely icing on the cake. It is said that before mass production, manufacturers discussed whether to "take it off" for a long time in order to save costs, but in the end it was completely presented.
The hidden door handle could have been mechanically ejected by pressing like aston martin, but in the end, a motor was added to realize automatic ejection and retraction.
Including the U-shaped tail integrated on the trunk lid, the small spoiler placed on the front and rear bumpers and rearview mirrors of the car body, and the diffuser next to the exhaust ... "What is the concept car and what is the final production car?" This sentence comes from the engineer's mouth, which fully embodies Changan's determination to UNI-T "make or break".

During the demonstration, the staff mentioned that their designers thought that the rows of diamond elements on the infinite air intake grille were very similar to the human warship army in the science fiction "Three-body". Then when you get in the car, the attributes of "science fiction" will be fully displayed.
The design is simple, which saves a lot of physical keys, and the embracing central control design centered on the driver's seat is more convenient for the driver to operate; The raised atmosphere lights on the dashboard are not only for decoration, but also the carrier of human-computer interaction. For example, when you turn on the left turn signal, the integrated light bar will also point in the direction you want to go in a flowing way.
The design of warship bar is the crowning touch in the interior of new car, which is suspended and sharp, and has both visual effect and comfortable and spacious feel in practical use. The same high-tech dual screen, almost every element that I should have as a "space car" can be visualized. This also makes UNI-T's interior layout look very similar to CS75 PLUS at first glance, but it still makes its personality conform to the product positioning.
As for the comparison of sports attributes, it is reflected by leather stitching technology, integrated bucket seat and three lightly-held steering wheels. Frankly speaking, the interior design of UNIT-T is not complicated as a whole, and the materials used are not so luxurious, but every detail is done to the extreme, thus showing a leapfrog experience.

Friends who are familiar with the "engine" should remember that I have spit out these "artificial intelligence" like mental retardation on the market more than once. For example, a so-called car equipped with emotion recognition system will always judge that I am unhappy when faced with a drooping "bitter gourd face" and try to tell me a cold joke.
When I was driving UNI-T, I lost my eyesight because of the wind, and I closed my eyes unconsciously. There was a call reminder on the plane, and the name was Little Cute.
When I saw this name, the atmosphere in the car was a bit weird. I didn't remember such a "cutie" in my mobile phone when I was driving. On second thought, my mobile phone is not connected to the car. Peeking at my unfamiliar colleague in the back row through the rearview mirror, I found that he also looked at me with a stupid face.
Perhaps aware of this embarrassment, the staff accompanying the driver immediately explained: "This is our anti-fatigue driving function, which may have been activated just after you closed your eyes."
UNI-T's anti-fatigue driving function can be described as "insight into people's hearts". Think about it. When you and your girlfriend were driving happily on the road, you got a call from "Little Cute" because you dozed off and said, "Who's Little Cute? ? "Absolutely enough to make you tremble. Sleep? Fatigue driving? It doesn't exist.
However, this is also a severe "means" in UNIT-T anti-fatigue driving. Only when eyes are closed for a long time will it start, otherwise it will be prompted in a gentler way. If you don't want to be asked something you shouldn't say, you'd better take the initiative to stay away from fatigue driving.
Of course, this is just the "corner" of many intelligent configurations of UNI-T. The mobile phone Bluetooth car key can also control the automatic parking of the vehicle; 360-degree remote panoramic image; The highly integrated WeChat function also appears on the configuration table of this high-profile model, and even if you buy it as an electronic product, you can have a good time.

Finally, talk about the power and handling performance of the new car. In the past many years, Changan rarely put the word "manipulative" on the table as a selling point. The only big move in the past two years-launching a customized sports version of Yidong XT, nothing happened.
I have tested the customized XT before it went on the market, and it is measured by the standard of a small steel gun. What I am most satisfied with is the contrast of driving atmosphere and the performance of the chassis. It not only has a pressure reducing valve, but also has the "tempering" sound of the exhaust pipe when stepping on the accelerator deeply. The steering and tough suspension are even more impressive; The reason why it failed to become a climate, regardless of the market, is because the powertrain is really almost boring.
Now UNI-T, which pursues sports attributes, has the blessing of the blue whale. Compared with the products that used to take sports attributes, the change is greater. The maximum power of the engine is 132kW and the maximum torque is 300 Nm.
In normal mode, the power output of the new car is not rapid, but the start is still brisk and very easy to control. I can't feel it at all when the turbine participates, and the overall fluency is commendable. After switching to SPORT, the dynamic response becomes very rapid, and the maximum torque of 300 Nm can be completely released at 1250rpm, accelerating overtaking in one go, and everything seems relaxed and natural.
However, the common problem of most small-displacement turbocharged engines-lack of stamina-has also been improved on UNI-T. Even at the speed of 120km/h, you can still deeply feel the power from the throttle without any signs of fatigue.
As for this 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, my first feeling is "smoothness", and the sense of frustration when switching to low gear is very slight. And it is smart enough to always put it into action when you want it to do something. For example, in sports mode, when you step on the accelerator deeply, the gearbox can immediately drop 2-3 gears to give a stronger output, and the comprehensive transmission efficiency of up to 94.3% also ensures that the power of the engine can be better played.
In addition, the suspension is relatively tough, and it has good supporting force in big bends and sharp bends. The speed bump and the gravel pavement chassis give people a very compact feeling, and the rebound damping of the suspension is also very good, so there will be no excessive bouncing action, the limit of the whole vehicle is very high, and the bend is easy to grasp; But it will bump badly when passing through the speed bump at high speed.
So when writing this manuscript, I have been thinking about what went wrong with UNI-T, and I want to think about it. In order to pursue sports to the extreme, the rear row lacks in suspension training and space comfort. This should be one of them, and the other is that the trunk space is slightly inferior to the same level because of the modeling problem of the whole vehicle.
But these "problems" should not be counted as serious injuries, but an inevitable multiple-choice question. UNI-T is a model from the perspective of "deep cultivation" market segment. After all, it is unrealistic to cater to all needs and likes and dislikes with one car. Other products under the UNI sequence will definitely make up for these gaps in the future.
Write at the end:
Three months ago, when the Geneva Motor Show was cancelled and Changan issued an announcement, I didn't have much trouble in my heart. Now that UNI-T has been opened, I'm beginning to feel sorry. Because after "intimate contact", I can finally understand how many "eyebrows" such a car will cause when it stands on the international stage, and what kind of brand-new image it will create for China. It's really a pity to think about it.
Today, UNIT-T officially announced the pre-sale price of11.59-135900 yuan, which is "an order of magnitude" less than the 13- 15000 yuan I estimated two days ago. Combined with this price, UNI-T is more competitive in the market segment, and the identity of "explosive" is almost settled. Qingge boldly predicted that from the pre-sale to the mid-June listing, its order volume is likely to break through the 20,000 mark, bringing more consumers a brand-new experience of "future technology mass producers".
