The Changan UNI-V is a 5-door liftback from Changan Automobile, built from 2021, in the decade the industry is turning electric. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine.
What is underneath
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1400-1680 kg. It shifts through a 7-speed DCT / 6-speed automatic / 8-speed Aisin AWF8F35 automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2750 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Chongqing, China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Kia EV6, the Nissan Z, the Tesla Model Y — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Changan Automobile catalogue sit the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
