Chinese manufacturer ChangAn has released pricing for its new crossover, the Uni-T, which will be priced from 120,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan (RM73,710 to RM92,138) for two variants in China when it goes on sale in June, according to a Facebook post by CarNewsChina with live images of the new model from X Car.
According to the post, the new crossover measures 4,515 mm long, 1,870 mm wide and 1,565 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,710 mm; dimensions which make the Uni-T fall in between the Geely Binyue and Boyue for length and width, but lower than the Binyue and longer of wheelbase than the Boyue.
A 1.5 litre turbocharged engine that produces 180 hp and 300 Nm of torque is currently listed as the sole engine available, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with either a front-wheel-drive for the base model, or all-wheel-drive for the higher-spec Sport variant. A more powerful version with a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine is set to follow, says ChangAn.
The Uni-T vehicle system is equipped with an AI chip, and works a fatigue and facial recognition system for the driver which enables human-computer interaction that is more precise, efficient and comfortable, says ChangAn. The cabin of the Uni-T features a dual 10-25-inch, high-definition digital touchscreen, while the gear selector lever is fashioned after ‘spaceships of the future’, the company said.
A suite of driver assistance systems will offer Level 3 autonomous driving in the Uni-T, said ChangAn. This is enabled by five millimetre-wave radar sensors, six cameras and 12 ultrasonic radar sensors, which makes the Uni-T capable of fully autonomous operation in a congested city, according to Chinese media reports.
The first version of the driver assistance suite will not require the driver to maintain vision of the road ahead, says ChangAn, and a subsequent iteration will require even less involvement from the driver with a driving experience that will ‘move to the hands-free and feet-free stage’, which means the driver can be freed of steering wheel and pedal operation.
Further automated driving capabilities that feature in the Uni-T include automated vehicle following, automated lane-changing as well as ‘intelligently recommended lane-changing’, says ChangAn.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Wow the black one looks awesome. Should bring it in to give Proton a run for its money.
Hv to really scrutinize its ride, handling, NVH and fit and finish. Amazing bold design btw
Uni-Toyota? Because of the Vios grille?
i thought it is a new suv from lexus.
Slap a Lexus or Mazda logo on it and it’ll sell like hot cakes. Amazing what these newer Chinese brands can do in the automotive market. Whether or not they will be reliable or have resale value is another matter, but to offer the car with modern design (no longer direct copying from rivals), and providing more tech advancements than more expensive marques and still able to sell them for a reasonable price. I really don’t know how they can do that, while we can’t even though we’ve been in the motor industry far longer.
Why? Because Japan has ran out of ideas and creative juices. You all are champion copycats today.
One of the jap brand that has ran out of ideas is only honda. Honda is going to give up on designing their engines and designing interiors and exteriors for some of honda lineup model. That’s why honda join venture with GM. This means that honda is going to follow of what P2 is doing by just putting logo only that rebadging cars
Lol, they have 1.4 billion people. From 1.4 billion people must have many talents at their disposal. Don’t forget, over there car’s market much bigger than ours
Not just design, the technologies embedded in it has push the car to the next level.
Lexus-inspired?
when lexus, hyundai and mazda have an offspring……
If with Rm70k price tag, this Changan will kill all Asian car manufacturers from japanese, korean, etc.
Their snobby salesmen and salesgurl at showrooms will be outta job in record time.
Naw. There is still the P2Toyota sales troller in PT. But I haven’t seen him in while. I hope he is gone for good.
Looking very promising, advance, good price and handsome!!
Hope to get one in Malaysia
