Bitcar Original Since small-displacement turbocharged engines became popular, it has been difficult for us to see engines with a displacement of more than 1.5L in the compact car class. Many consumers even think that if a compact car is equipped with a 2.0T engine, then it must be a performance car. So, today we will take a look at this "performance car" from Changan - the UNI-V 2.0T model.
Just looking at pictures is not enough. Welcome to follow our Bilibili account: CarBeat. We will soon bring you the test drive content of UNI-V 2.0T. Be sure to come!
UNI-V has had excellent market performance since its launch last year. According to the data displayed in the "Sales Ranking" of Bitauto App, UNI-V ranks 17th among compact cars. Compared with competing products, Shadow Leopard and MG6 PRO perform better.
In fact, UNI-T has also launched a model equipped with a 2.0T engine earlier, so the launch of the UNI-V 2.0T model is not unexpected. So, those friends who shouted "I will definitely buy the 2.0T when it comes out", are they ready with the money? Of course, before paying money, you might as well take a look at the differences between it and the 1.5T model.
1. Appearance has a more sporty look
The UNI-V 2.0T model basically maintains the styling design of the current model, with only some adjustments in details. The overall body still has the unique temperament of two four-door coupes, elegance and sportiness, but the sporty attributes are stronger.
The difference between the 2.0T model and the 1.5T model is mainly concentrated on the front face, and the "borderless design concept" has evolved again. The center grille of the new car adopts a two-color design with more obvious distinction, and the overall appearance is more fierce.
There is also a hole opened above the center grille of the new car. At first we thought it was an air intake, but after a closer look we found that the inside was sealed. However, it can be used as a clear sign to distinguish it from the 1.5T model.
The front bumper of the 2.0T model has also been adjusted, and the fog lamp area has been redesigned to look more like the shape in the early design drawings. It is decorated with imitation carbon fiber texture strips, making the overall visual effect more fierce.
There are no changes to the side of the body. The effect of low center of gravity, short front overhang, and long wheelbase is perfect for a Coupe.
The rear shape basically continues the design of the 1.5T sports version, with only details adjusted. The letters and text on both sides are matte blackened, and the colored trim strips on the rear bumper are also replaced with black. , the overall feeling is stronger.
The electric rear wing can be regarded as a winner in the UNI-V marketA magic weapon that will naturally not be absent from the 2.0T model. The opening method is the same as that of new models, and it can be raised in three ways: manual, SUPER RACE mode and automatic raising and lowering with speed.
The exhibition car is equipped with 19-inch multi-spoke bright black wheels, and the tires are Dunlop SP SPROT MAXX series tires with a specification of 235/40 R19.
Summary: We can see that the designer is still very restrained in enhancing the sporty style of the UNI-V 2.0T model, but does not add drastic and exaggerated kits to it, which is worthy of praise.
2. Interior configuration, integrated seats are more cool
The interior styling remains consistent with the current model, still using a 3+1 quad screen layout design, which is inspired by the Möbius strip, and the overall style is sharp and angular. Part of the material under the air outlet of the center console is made of suede material, which has excellent texture.
The center console system is equipped with Changan's latest car-machine system. It has rich and complete functions and can fully meet the needs of daily driving. It also has gesture control function and is very playable.
The biggest change in the UNI-V 2.0T model is that the front row has been replaced with more sporty integrated sports seats, which are more enveloping and can better fix the body of the front passenger during intense driving. . The middle positions of the seats use perforation technology for better breathability, and the main driver's seat also supports seat heating/ventilation functions.
The shape of the rear seats has also been adjusted, and the headrests on both sides have a better fixation effect. The perforated positions of the backrest and seat cushion have also been adjusted to be more ergonomic.
3. Powertrain, Zhuyu is more looking forward to it
The UNI-V 2.0T model is equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 171kW (233Ps) and a maximum torque of 390N·m.
In terms of transmission, it is matched with an 8-speed manual transmission from Aisin, with manual mode and paddle shifters.
According to the data in the "Bitauto Test" of Bitauto App, the UNI-V 1.5T model ranks first in its class in terms of acceleration per 100 kilometers, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers and braking distance, and the Elk test ranks second in its class. This is It also makes us look forward to the performance of the UNI-V 2.0T model even more.
According to our earlier test of the UNI-T 2.0T model, its acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers was 6.8 seconds. So can UNI-V break this score and become the fastest fuel vehicle in the Changan family? See you at station B tomorrow! (Follow our Bilibili account: CarBeat car rhythm)
Summary: In my personal opinion, perhaps UNI-The V 2.0T model did not sell many units after it was launched, but its significance to UNI-V bicycles and the UNI family is huge. The rapid development of Chinese brands in the sports car market in the past two years also requires models like UNI-V that dare to try.
Finally, the same old rules apply, what is the acceleration score of UNI-V 2.0T? Let’s take a guess and leave a message in the comment area below! I think the number 6.6s is quite auspicious.
