Bitauto Original is now in the domestic SUV market, and the Chinese brand has become " a popular fried chicken", take a closer look at 2023 The top ten best-selling compact SUVs of the year are almost all from Chinese brands.
In particular, domestic products represented by Changan and BYD have become the first choice for Chinese consumers because they have new energy vehicle technologies that are more fuel-efficient and cost-effective, and have increasingly rich configurations.
As the industry continues to move forward, the products of Chinese brands will only become more and more "volume". Just like the UNI-Z recently launched by Changan Automobile's Gravity Series, it is equipped with the brand new Blue Whale hybrid system and comes with standard intelligent configurations, once again setting a new level of product strength.
Many people say that Changan UNI-Z is trying to backstab competing products and reshuffle the 15 10,000-class SUV market.
New power
The "shuffle" of Changan UNI-Z is first reflected in the power level.
Beginning in 2018, the Chinese auto market has already launched a hybrid trend, including BYD DM-i, Geely Thor Power, and Great Wall Lemon DHT< /span> and other technologies emerge in endlessly, but as time gradually passes, they slowly become old products of the previous generation of the market.
The Blue Whale new powertrain recently released by Changan has taken the lead in launching the second hybrid technology revolution in the Chinese market.
First, its newly released new Blue Whale hybrid high-efficiency dedicated engine has a stroke-to-cylinder ratio of 1.45 and utilizes 150mJ ultra-high energy ignition, 500ba r With advanced technologies such as high-pressure direct injection, mass production thermal efficiency reaches a maximum of 43.31%, which is far ahead of BYD's DM-i's current highest 43.04% few.
You must know that there are actually technical bottlenecks in the development of engines. Coupled with the complex engine structure, every seemingly small 0.1% improvement in thermal efficiency is a major challenge for engineers to challenge the physical limits. The reserve thermal efficiency of the new Blue Whale hybrid high-efficiency special engine has reached an astonishing 47.03%.
The new Blue Whale Power also achieves a leading oil-to-electricity conversion rate of 3.63 kilowatt-hours of electricity per liter of oil, bringing higher fuel economy and longer cruising range.
Second, the leadership of Blue Whale’s new power is not only reflected in technical parameters, but also in enhancing the practicality of all scenarios and areas with user thinking. In the current domestic hybrid market, plug-in hybrids and extended-range vehicles operate separately, and consumers either choose extended-range vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles. Changan's idea is to adopt the unique plug-in hybrid/extended-range dual power form in its class, and switch between the extended-range plug-in hybrid mode and the extended-range plug-in hybrid mode with one click.
Changan UNI-Z is the first new car equipped with Blue Whale's new power. Car owners can combine their own car use scenarios to achieve dual uses in one car, and have a high degree of travel freedom;
For example, when driving in urban areas, you can choose the forced range extension mode to drive like a pure electric car; when driving at high speed, users can switch to plug-in hybrid mode with one click, without having to worryConcerned about the battery life issue.
In terms of fuel consumption, Changan UNI-Z has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.3L/100kM and a long comprehensive battery life of 1200kM , WLTC feed fuel consumption 5.15L/100kM. With the blessing of the new Blue Whale hybrid's dedicated dual-motor electric drive, its peak power is close to 158kW, and its peak torque is 330N·m. In the high-power and high-power mode, Changan UNI-Z has an acceleration time of 7.4 seconds, which is superior to competing products in the same class.
New smart experience
While "rolling out" the power and technical parameters, Changan UNI-Z also did not forget to roll out intelligence. Changan UNI-Z put forward a key concept - " There is no high-end configuration for safety, it must be standard configuration ", truly putting the safety of car owners first first place.
Generally, a comprehensive assisted driving system is an intelligent configuration that is only available in high-end versions of many models. Users with low budgets often do not deserve it.
Especially if we want to buy a joint venture SUV of the same level with slightly richer driving assistance, the guide price will be as high as 20 around 10,000 yuan, which is likely to exceed the cost of buying a car. Budget.
Changan UNI-Z directly delegates L2 assisted driving to all versions, and its standard L2 level assisted driving is integrated It has 11 intelligent functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic speed limit assist, lane departure warning, etc., and also supports intelligent automatic parking and one-button summon (hold Within the distance of 200m between the vehicle and the mobile phone).
Even compared to its SUV counterparts from Chinese brands, Changan's UNI-Z is far ahead in terms of intelligence. Here we take the cheapestFor comparison, the entry-level version of Changan UNI-Z compared with Song PLUS DM-i Honor version also has forward collision warning, fatigue driving reminder, lane keeping assist, lane centering, Traffic sign recognition and many other configurations……
It can be said that Changan UNI-Z has single-handedly raised the value standard and intelligence level of SUV in the same class.
In terms of smart cockpit, Changan UNI-Z also provides more ways to play. For example, when the owner stands outside the car, he can talk to the vehicle and command operations ——Such as "UNIopen the trunk ", "UNIdrive the car out", etc. If you are holding a heavy These functions come in handy when objects or vehicles are parked in a tight parking space.
When preparing to enter the car, the outside face recognition function will help unlock (lock) the vehicle, start and open the seats to welcome guests, and automatically adjust the main and passenger seats and rearview mirrors to the memory positions...< /p>
In the car, the owner can also press and hold the voice button to activate the language function outside the car, and the vehicle can speak in real time outside the car. In traffic jams, they can say "Please, brother, give way", etc., when giving way to pedestrians. Talk to pedestrians.
If you are taking a break, it can also be linked with speakers, seats, lights and other components to quickly transform into a mobile K song, car gym, game arcade, etc. to meet the entertainment needs in different scenarios.
In short, UNI-Z is a mainstream family car with a high degree of intelligence. It is priced at more than 100,000 yuan, but has an intelligent level of 230,000 yuan. It is like a smart companion, and there are many smart functions waiting for users to discover.
Comfortable space with high occupancy rates
Of course, in addition to its outstanding power and intelligent configuration, Changan UNI-Z also has the strength to match competing products in terms of space and interior design. The body size is 4730*1890*1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2795mm. The overall size is ahead of its class, and the rear knee room reaches 121mm.
The whole car also has 31 storage spaces, which can store items of various sizes. At the same time, the second row can support 4/6 folding down, allowing for flexible customization. It can store large and small items, and the trunk volume can reach 638/1425L, making it easy to store suitcases, camping equipment and other items when traveling.
Comfort is also a hard indicator of space. Changan UNI-Z adopts an ergonomic sports seat with an integrated headrest and supports 8 electric adjustment (low (6 direction), the padding material is soft and hard, and combined with rich comfort functions such as seat heating, ventilation, and memory, it is still comfortable even when driving long distances.
At the same time, Changan UNI-Z also strengthens the sound insulation design and optimizes the remaining high-quality sound insulation and absorption materials of 30. The front row is designed with double-layer silent glass to effectively isolate Noise from outside the car.
Changan UNI-Z is like a balanced player with superior strength. It is not only outstanding in power performance and intelligent experience that domestic consumers are most concerned about, but also in terms of space and appearance. There are no shortcomings, and they are indeed capable of "stabbing" competing products in the back.
Summary
Obviously, Changan Automobile is, as always, a car company that understands consumer scenarios and needs. It is said that plug-in hybrid vehicles are "all-in-one with electricity, and nothing without electricity". Changan UNI-Z uses the new Blue Whale power to solve the problem. It is said that only high-end cars are equipped with advanced intelligent configurations. Changan UNI-Z is standard on all series.
Although there are many excellent competing products in the 150,000-class SUV market, such as Gaoji" which has lower fuel than electricity "'s Song PLUS DM-i Honor Edition, but currently overall, Changan UNI-Z is better.
Moreover, Changan's UNI-Z's first-price price is 12.79 yuan, while the top version is less than 14 yuan, which obviously gives you more. , it is a wise choice for consumers who pursue economical cars and intelligent experience.
Therefore, we have reason to believe that Changan's UNI-Z will eventually have a place in the 15 class SUV.
