Changan PH brings in Uni-T and Uni-K, priced at Php 1.679M and Php 2.719M

Fresh from the launch of the Changan CS55 Plus compact crossover less than a month ago, Changan Motor Philippines, Inc. (CMPI) is not done for the year just yet. Coinciding with the opening of their new national headquarters, they also introduced not one but two new additions to their local lineup.

Meet the all-new Changan Uni-T and Uni-K, both part of the brand’s new Uni line of crossovers which is their more premium selection compared to the standard CS line of crossovers.

Now these two are so eye-catching that we failed to capture our own photos due to the immense number of people at the venue taking a look. Anyway, here’s what you need to know about these two new Changan models:

CHANGAN UNI-T

The first of two is the 2023 Changan Uni-T which is the brand’s premium compact crossover offering, slotting above the recently introduced CS55 Plus crossover. 

In terms of looks, the Uni-T wears the brand’s latest ‘Vision V’ design language. Changan says that it is designed to be like a spaceship on wheels especially with its diamond-shaped borderless front grille which reflects the brand’s Vision-V concept. In front are very uniquely styled headlights while the side features flushed door handles for a cleaner look. Towards the rear are sharp looking taillights, a V-shaped spoiler, and quad exhaust pipes.

Inside, the Uni-T is undoubtedly modern with its dual screen setup for the instrument cluster and infotainment as the main attraction. Other features are leather seats, push button start, 6-speaker Sony audio system, and an electronic parking brake just to name a few.

Under the hood, the Changan Uni-T is powered by a 1.5-liter Inline 4-cylinder turbocharged Blue Core gasoline engine that produces 179 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 

CHANGAN UNI-K

Next is the 2023 Changan Uni-K, a premium midsize crossover. We saw this one coming as we reported not too long ago about the local sighting of this model on local roads.

In terms of exterior design, the Uni-K also wears the new ‘Vision V’ design language made obvious by its aggressive front fascia composed of a large grille and sharp and slim headlights. The side shows off a clean look with minimal body lines and flushed door handles. Towards the back is a steeply raked windshield combined with a rear light bar, giving it a sleeker appearance. Also noticeable are the fin-like dual third brake lights on the rear spoiler which is a signature design of the brand as seen on the CS55 Plus and CS75 Plus. Large quad exhaust pipes finish off the rear with a sporty look.

Inside, the Uni-K features a very modern and tech-filled cabin. It features a flat bottom and flat top steering wheel similar to that of the CS55 Plus, and a 12-speaker Sony audio system with subwoofer. The main highlights here however are the large digital screens for the infotainment and driver’s instrument clusters. 

The latter features a quadruple screen layout where the left section displays tire pressure and door conditions, the middle section shows vehicle speed, augmented reality real-view navigation, multimedia interface and vehicle status; and the right section comprises a digital rear-view mirror, tachometer, and fuel gauge.

Under the hood of the 2023 Changan Uni-K is a 2.0-liter Inline 4-cylinder turbocharged Blue Core gasoline engine that produces 232 horsepower and 390 Nm of torque. It shifts gears through an 8-speed automatic transmission with the option to send power to all four wheels. 

In terms of safety, both the Changan Uni-T and Uni-K come fully equipped with the latest Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) can achieve Level 2 autonomous driving with an abundance of advanced active safety features. Among these are Blind Spot Detection Warning (BSDW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Automated Emergency Braking (AEB), Integrated Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC) with Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Front Collision Warning (FCW), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Now for the price, the 2023 Changan Uni-T is priced at Php 1,679,000. Meanwhile, the 2023 Changan Uni-K is priced at Php 2,719,000. Both are available at all Changan dealerships nationwide on a by-order basis.
