On February 24, Chang'an UNI-V/UNI-K Smart Power iDD was officially launched. Among them, Chang'an UNI-V Smart Power iDD has launched two models, with a price range of 14.49-1599 million yuan; Chang'an UNI-K Smart Power iDD has launched four models with a price range of 18.79-2159 million yuan.

　　Both models are equipped with the latest iDD intelligent electric hybrid system of Chang'an Automobile, with a pure electric range of more than 100km and a maximum comprehensive range of more than 1000km, which has achieved a good balance between daily urban commuting and long-distance self-driving travel. With outstanding power and better fuel economy, they will become the main model for Chang'an Automobile to face competitors such as BYD in the domestic hybrid market.

　　● What is Chang'an Smart Power iDD?

　　IDD (intelligent dual drive) is a hybrid technology developed by Chang'an based on P2 hybrid architecture. It is composed of blue whale hybrid engine, three-clutch electric drive gearbox, power battery and electronic control system, and has the advantages of AI intelligent energy saving, constant temperature intelligent safety and other advantages.

　　AI intelligent energy saving system can bring ultra-low fuel consumption of 1.46L/100km for WLTC, ultra-high range of 1200km for comprehensive range, 150km for NEDC pure electric range, and ultra-fast charging of 2.83 hours for 6.6 AC fast charging and 100 km for full range. The 1.5T engine carried by the vehicle adopts technologies such as Blue Whale engine efficient agile combustion system and intelligent lubrication system, and further adopts Miller cycle technology. The expansion stroke of the piston is greater than the compression stroke, so as to obtain higher compression ratio to improve combustion efficiency. At the same time, there is a set of clutches between the engine and the motor, which can control the coupling of the engine. The other two sets are two sets of clutches in the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The highly integrated wet three-clutch module effectively reduces the use of accessories, reduces the overall weight, and achieves lower energy consumption and efficient transmission efficiency.

　　In addition, the technology also has high concentrated energy battery and battery intelligent temperature control system, which can achieve IP68 high intensity protection. It has 24-hour uninterrupted battery safety monitoring capability and super temperature adaptability. It can ensure the safety of the battery pack from - 35 ° C to 55 ° C. Once it deviates from the optimal temperature zone, the system will automatically turn on constant temperature protection. The high concentrated energy battery used by it has AC and DC dual fast charging capacity, and can be charged within 30 minutes at most.

　　● Chang'an UNI-V Intelligent Power iDD

　　In terms of appearance, the Chang'an UNI-V Smart iDD and the fuel version UNI-V are basically the same. The front face is designed with a family-based frameless air intake grille, and the interior is decorated with a dot-matrix structure. The lines on both sides are very sharp, bringing a very offensive visual effect. The daytime driving light of LED light source is also quite good after being lit, which can catch the eyes of young consumers at the first time.

　　The side shape is quite sharp, and the design of the sliding back car brings the sense of movement of diving forward. The length, width and height of the car body are 4680/1838/1435mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2750mm. This wheelbase has certain advantages among the competitors of the same level, which can bring good riding space for the car. The rear part of the car still adopts a through-type tail lamp set. The design of the electric spoiler can be said to be the finishing touch. The combination of the electric spoiler and the exhaust from the lower side can further enhance the vehicle's movement effect.

　　The interior of Chang'an UNI-V Smart iDD adopts a highly technical design style. The upper and lower double-deck dashboard seems to make you feel in the space battleship. The upper and lower flat-bottomed steering wheel is also more suitable for the vehicle's motion properties. The 10.3 inch suspended central control LCD screen is very attractive. The large area of leather wrap also makes the touch inside the vehicle more comfortable. The vehicle is equipped with tire pressure display, lane departure warning system, 540-degree transparent chassis, automatic parking and other configurations as standard.

　　In terms of power, the Chang'an UNI-V Smart iDD engine has a maximum power of 125 kW, a peak torque of 260 N · m, a maximum power of 125 kW, and a peak torque of 330 N · m. It is matched with the Blue Whale three-clutch electric drive gearbox. The acceleration from 0-100 km/h is only 6.5 seconds. It is equipped with 18.4 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, and the NEDC pure electric range can reach 113 km, and the comprehensive range exceeds 1000 km.

　　Among the compact hybrid family cars, there is no doubt that BYD Qin PLUS is the most popular model, but major manufacturers are also taking BYD as the benchmark to launch products to seize the market. The wheelbase of Chang'an UNI-V Smart iDD launched this time is longer than that of Emgrand L Hi · P and BYD Qin PLUS. It is also the most sporty and fashionable of the three cars in terms of shape and can attract the attention of young audiences. Under the condition that the range of pure electric vehicles is not much different, the power performance of Chang'an UNI-V Intelligent Electric iDD is better, and the acceleration time is only 6.5 seconds. These three models can meet the daily electric commuting in urban areas, and can also take into account long-distance self-driving travel, and the fuel economy is also quite good. However, from the perspective of price, the starting price of 144900 Changan UNI-V Smart iDD is not an advantage. After all, the starting price of BYD Qin PLUS champion version DM-i has reached less than 100000 yuan. For most users who want to pursue cheap and affordable, Qin PLUS is really too high.

　　● Chang'an UNI-K Smart Power iDD

　　It is no surprise that the appearance of Chang'an UNI-K Smart iDD is basically the same as that of the fuel version, and still retains a very sci-fi design style. The design of the borderless grille and the slim LED headlights bring a very fashionable and personalized visual effect. Chang'an UNI-K Smart iDD has a length, width and height of 4865/1948/1690mm, and a wheelbase of 2890mm. This size has obvious advantages in competing products at the same level.

　　On the whole, the interior is similar to the UNI-V Smart iDD style. It adopts a dual-width multi-function steering wheel design, and is also equipped with a 10.25 inch central control display. The built-in UNI Life vehicle-mounted intelligent interaction system supports gesture clearance control and OTA upgrade. It is worth mentioning that UNI-K Smart iDD is also specially equipped with an aviation sleep headrest. Users can adjust the ear pieces on the left and right sides of the headrest to better support the head. At the same time, the car also has the nanny level child interaction mode and the "queen" seat function.

　　In terms of power, the maximum power of the new engine is 125KW, and the peak torque is 255N · m; The maximum power of the motor is 110KW, the peak torque is 330N · m, and it is matched with a 6-gear 3-clutch electric drive gearbox. The acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 8.1 seconds. The capacity of the vehicle battery pack is 28.39kWh, the pure electric range under NEDC condition is 135km, and it only takes 0.5 hour to quickly charge to 80% of the power.

　　Compared with BYD Song PLUS DM-i and Haval H6 DHT-PHEV, Chang'an UNI-K Smart iDD is more young and fashionable in design, and has obvious advantages in body size, especially the wheelbase has exceeded 2800mm, which brings more abundant and comfortable riding environment for rear passengers. The 135km pure electric mileage is the longest of the three vehicles. Two charges can basically meet the one-week commute mileage. At the same time, the external discharge function can also better take into account the camping and self-driving scenarios. However, from the perspective of the price range, Chang'an UNI-K Smart iDD may be difficult to sell in a short time. The minimum price of Song PLUS DM-i for 110km is only 167800 yuan. The price of nearly 190000 yuan can already buy the 5G flagship Song PLUS DM-i, while the top price of Haval H6 DHT-PHEV is only 173800 yuan. In the home SUV market, which is more cost-effective, Chang'an UNI-K Smart iDD has no obvious advantages.

　　● Write at the end

　　Chang'an UNI-K/UNI-V Smart iDD expresses the idea that Chang'an Automobile wants to have more quality and younger dynamic in the field of hybrid household vehicles. The comprehensive strength of both models is commendable. For those users who do not want to wait for a long time, or have no feelings for hybrid models of BYD, Great Wall and other brands, Chang'an UNI-K/UNI-V Smart iDD is indeed a choice that can achieve "flat replacement". However, the price range of Chang'an UNI-K/UNI-V Smart iDD is still high among competitors of the same level, and it is very difficult to achieve the impact on BYD in the short term or even to overcome the problem, After all, most consumers still pay more attention to the cost performance of vehicles within the range of 200000. Cheap and easy to use is the key. If they want to achieve satisfactory sales, Chang'an Automobile seems to need to put more effort into the terminal sales strategy.
