Changan showed us its UNI-K crossover at the Guangzhou Motor Show last month, and this week, multiple dealerships have reported receiving the first cars.
Prices and the launch date remain to be
announced. The SUV is 4,865 mm long with 2,890 mm of wheelbase and has smallish
lights all around that contrast with a bulky radiator grille. The front bumper
has Y-shaped LED inserts, and the air intakes are also pretty modest-sized. The
cabin houses a digital dash, a couple cup holders of a complex polygonal shape,
and as few hardware controls as possible.
Powering the ride is a 2.0-liter turbo
engine rated at 233 PS that goes along with an eight-speed
A/T. All-wheel drive is available at a premium.
The company claims the SUV will boast
numerous premium options that will make it akin to the BMW X3. Having said
that, the model’s direct rivals are compact crossover SUVs, like the Mazda
CX-5.
