Monthly sales exceed 10,000 units. Is the Internet-famous SUV Changan UNI-T worth buying? Car owner tells the truth

Since its launch in May, the sales of Changan Automobile’s SUV model UNI-T have continued to rise, from 3,760 units in May, 7,414 units in June, and finally 10,081 units in July. Changan UNI- T has become a phenomenon-level "Internet celebrity" SUV in the Chinese SUV market.

Some people say that Changan UNI-T’s popularity relies on its sci-fi and futuristic appearance, while others say it relies on its reliable quality. What's more, some people think that the reason why UNI-T sells so well is that the entire series comes standard with a 180-horsepower 1.5T + Changan's self-developed 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

You must know that a domestic compact SUV model with a starting price of just over 110,000 yuan is actually equipped with such strong power. Changan's move is obviously a very kind approach. It is precisely because of the above that many questions have arisen among the public, and the most common question is: Can I buy the Changan UNI-T? Will there be any pitfalls if I buy it? How is the quality of Changan UNI-T? Is it good to drive and so on? In this case, what is the product reputation of Changan UNI-T? Today we will learn more about this car and see what the owners who have purchased these models have to say.

First of all, let’s look at the appearance. I have to say that UNI-T’s radical and avant-garde appearance is indeed loved by many young people. The "borderless" style air intake grille is integrated with the body, and the slender LED daytime running lights at the top are also sharp-looking, giving a strong impact. The side shape also continues the sci-fi and sporty style of the vehicle, and the details are equally exquisite. The gun gray rims are also good-looking, and the matching Continental MC6 sports tires provide a lot of help for its relatively good braking performance.

Looking at the interior, the layout of the entire UNI-T car is very simple, with no redundant buttons. The center console is also suspended. The dual screens and airplane-style buttons look very stylish. Refreshing. The leather on the steering wheel feels delicate and the size is moderate. The 10.3-inch full LCD instrument and the large color screen on the center console meet most of the drivers and passengers' daily needs for driving and in-car entertainment systems.

In terms of space, although the UNI-T seat adopts a very sporty design, the actual performance is still based on comfort. When an experiencer with a height of 180cm comes to the front row, his head has 1 The distance between fist and 3 fingers. When the same experiencer came to the back row, the head room was 2 fingers and the leg room was 2 punches. The overall performance was good.

The last thing is power. Changan UNI-T uses a 1.5T+7DCT combination that is relatively common in its class. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The data is very good. In addition, it also offers three driving modes: ECO, NORMAL and SPORT.

Another thing to note is that since this car does not provide a manual mode, the electronic gear lever does not have damping and limits, so every time you shift into D or R gear, you have to force it first. Entering N gear also requires adaptation. As for the shortcomings: consumers generally report that the car's trunk space is narrow, the suspension is uncomfortable, the tire noise is loud, the interior color is not attractive, and the head space is small.

Okay, let’s have a brief understanding of the car model. Now let’s take a look at what real car owners have to say about this UNI-T.

Advantages: The appearance is very sci-fi, The originality is highly recognizable! Friends say it looks like a little devil jumping out of a comic book! It would be nice if the label were changed. I guess Changan would release a series of matryoshka dolls. The interior has a strong sense of technology, and it has a somewhat Peugeot cockpit feel. Personally I feel the ergonomics are pretty good, the body size is standard and compact, suitable for urban commuting, but the space performance is average! Then I am very satisfied with the tires, the steering wheel feels good and has a high-end feel. The car works well, but it freezes badly when I first turn it on after updating the system. The voice recognition is high, easy to use, and the recognition rate is high. It can automatically lower the window when the front passenger smokes. It’s very stylish, and it’s cheap!

Disadvantages: Let me complain. The official claim is that the fuel consumption is 6.3, but the actual fuel consumption is 9.7. It may have something to do with my driving habits. The tires are a bit noisy. Replacing the tires after 20-inch wheels will cost more than 1,000 yuan. The trunk The space is a little small, but everything else is fine.
