Changan UNI-T

The Changan UNI-T is a compact crossover SUV produced by Changan Automobile.

Overview
Changan showed a first glimpse of the UNI-T at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2017 with the concept vehicle Yuyue Concept.

The production model was intended to be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2020. However, the show was canceled on 28 February 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, leading to Changan presenting the UNI-T in China at the end of March 2020. The model came on the Chinese market in June 2020.

The Changan UNI-T received a five star safety certification in the safety crash test result of the domestic C-NCAP published by CATARC (China Automotive Technology and Research Center) on 15 September 2021. In February 2023, the model was restyled. In the summer of 2023, deliveries of cars in Russia began. The competitors of this model are Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson and Volkswagen Tiguan. In terms of dimensions, this model is similar to Changan CS55 Plus.

Powertrain
The UNI-T is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine which outputs 132 kW at 5,500 rpm with 300 Nm of torque between 1,600 and 4,100 rpm. The engine is mated with a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.

The maximum speed of the car is limited to 127 mi/h, but this limit can be removed by chip tuning. The price of the car in Russia ranges from 2 869 900 to 2 969 900 rubles.
