Changan, the 4th largest automotive group in China, is preparing to launch its second vehicle in Pakistan, the Changan UNI-T SUV. Following the success of their first model, the Changan Alsvin, the company is expanding its lineup in the Pakistani market. Master Motors Limited, Changan’s local partner, is currently testing the imported Completely Built Units (CBU) of the UNI-T in Karachi. While specific details about the variants available in Pakistan are yet to be confirmed, here is an overview of the international specifications and features of the Changan UNI-T.
Exterior: The Changan UNI-T SUV boasts a striking and modern design that gives it an electric car-like appearance. It features a distinctive wide front grille, sharp split headlights, polygonal tail lights, dual exhausts, a skid plate, spoiler, and rear fog lamps. The SUV rides on stylish 19-inch alloy wheels, further enhancing its visual appeal and stance.
Interior: Inside, the UNI-T offers a chic and contemporary interior design. Key highlights include a 10.5-inch touchscreen panel, electrically adjustable driver and passenger seats, a T-shaped center console, and a sporty D-shaped steering wheel. These upgrades contribute to a comfortable and technologically advanced cabin environment.
Engine: Under the hood, the Changan UNI-T is powered by a 1500cc turbocharged engine that delivers robust performance. This engine generates 180 horsepower and 300Nm of torque, paired with a responsive 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). This setup ensures smooth acceleration and efficiency across various driving conditions.
Safety: Safety is a priority in the Changan UNI-T, equipped with a comprehensive array of safety features. These include six airbags for occupant protection, ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), traction control, brake assist, hill start assist, hill descent control, blind spot assist, and electronic stability program (ESP). These technologies collectively enhance both active and passive safety measures for driver and passenger peace of mind.
Competition: In Pakistan, the Changan UNI-T will compete with other popular 5-seater SUVs such as the KIA Sportage, MG HS, Proton X70, and Hyundai Tucson. Its blend of modern design, powerful performance, advanced features, and competitive pricing positions it as a formidable contender in the midsize SUV segment.
As Changan expands its footprint in Pakistan with the UNI-T, it aims to cater to discerning customers looking for a stylish, feature-rich SUV that offers both comfort and performance in equal measure.
