In July of the outgoing year, a brand new Uni-K crossover came to Changan’s Russian showrooms, striking potential buyers not only with its spectacular appearance, but also with a “heavy” price. The Chinese asked for 3.3 million rubles, but what did they offer? Four wheels, a “pretty face” and all sorts of options? And what about “driving pleasure” and other driver delights? The answers to these and other questions are in the video review of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
It is curious that the “gray” sale of Changan Uni-K began even earlier than the official one. In addition, the dealers who towed the cars through parallel imports asked even more for the crossover – as much as 5.5 million rubles. Just think about it: a Chinese car for the price of a one-room apartment in the Moscow region!
The “white” price list turned out to be much more pleasant, but the urgent demand for Uni-K failed to materialize. Which, however, is not surprising. The Russians are still afraid of the Changan brand.
In any case, take a look at the sales results of 11 months of this year. Geely, which somehow earned our brother’s trust, produced almost 21,000 cars and Changan didn’t even make it to 5,000. Both have three models in the line.
Speaking of Geely. Her Tugella simply competes with Uni-K – although the latter is slightly larger. But we will not compare them now: we leave this idea for another material. In the meantime, we recommend looking at a “single” review of an ambitious SUV from Changan.
