Since its launch, sales exceeded 5,000 units in the first month, and sales in the past three months have remained at the 10,000-unit level, which shows that its product strength is very strong. So, can this second model now become another popular model in Changan's UNI series?

In terms of appearance, Changan UNI-K highly restores the design elements of the Vision-V concept car and continues the "borderless" family-style design language. The overall shape is very sci-fi and futuristic.

Among them, the borderless air intake grille on the front face gradually evolves from the hexagonal diamond chamfer in the center to the surrounding areas, ready to go, showing the unique and powerful aura of an SUV.

Although it is still a fuel vehicle, Changan UNI-K seems to be more impactful than current electric vehicles in terms of its futuristic and technological sense.

In terms of interior, Changan UNI-K uses a large central control curved screen + a large-size LCD screen, plus an aircraft cabin-style gear handle, creating a more technological cockpit atmosphere.

Of course, the sense of technology can not only be fully demonstrated by some hardware equipment. UNI-K’s car-machine system integrates the iFlytek Feiyu 3.0 voice interaction system and deeply integrates Amap navigation, With iQiyi, QQ Music and other ecological apps, you don’t need to use your hands when sitting in the car.

Or if the passengers want to rest but the driver wants to listen to music, they can turn on the "headrest mode" to only let the headrest speakers play sound and let the music surround the driver's ears to reduce interruption to other people.

In addition, UNI-K's machine vision has also been further optimized. After getting in the car, the user can start the car by automatically scanning his face, identify the owner's identity, and adjust the seat and rearview mirror based on the memory function. Adjust to a dedicated position. In addition, UNI-K can also realize air gesture interaction, easily recognize the gesture movements of front and rear passengers, and realize functions such as navigation, photography, and multimedia control, bringing extremely convenient human-vehicle interaction.

However, in this level, there are many powerful players such as Lynk & Co, WEY, etc. Whether UNI-K, which focuses on high-end, intelligence and technology, can stand out, its future performance is still worth looking forward to.
