The model range of the Chinese brand Changan, which so far included four crossovers (Uni-K, CS75FL, as well as two versions of CS35Plus and CS55), was supplemented with a liftback. Official dealers have already started accepting orders for the novelty: the starting price of Uni-V is 2,629,900 rubles.
It is interesting that Changan Uni-V came to Russia even before the official start of sales – it was offered to buyers by private traders and dealers operating under the parallel import scheme. In addition, their price tag is more interesting – on advertising sites it is quite possible to find cars produced in 2022 with a “clean” odometer for 2 million rubles. Another question is that the configuration can be simpler there, and with warranty everything is more difficult.
But back to Uni-V itself. In terms of dimensions, the stylish liftback is close to the Skoda Octavia: it is slightly shorter (9 mm), wider (also 9 mm) and lower (40 mm) than its Czech classmate, but the wheelbase of the “Chinese” is longer – 2750 mm against 2686 in “Octavia”. There is only one modification – with a 1.5-liter turbo engine with 181 horsepower. Of. and a seven-speed “robot” with two “wet” clutches. Drive – front.
As for the equipment, the Uni-V is quite rich in all kinds of options. In particular, the liftback is ready to offer the buyer “smart” cruise control, all-round visibility with a built-in DVR, remote engine start, keyless entry, wireless smartphone charging, multimedia with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, “music”. offer. with 8 loudspeakers and many electronic driver assistants.
