- Today, we checked out a car so new, they haven't even finished building the dealership that sells it (seriously, that's all the loud noises in the background)

Right after we finished filming this video, Changan released the pre-sale price for the UNI-K. It will be priced about $23,000 for a base, FWD version, all the way up to $28,000 for a top-of-the-range 4WD version.
Amazing prices, how did you feel the interior quality, was it better than the Uni - T? Thanks for the review, it looks awesome and the back profile reminded me to a Mulsanne 🎉🥳
Good question, the interior materials definitely felt more luxurious than the UNI-T. The issue in our mind is durability. We noticed that some of the materials in the UNI-T we drove we wearing very poorly after only a few months of ownership.
How are they managed to keep the price so low? Afterall, this is a pretty good car, is it not?
Can we buy it and import it to capetown South African?

I'm actually quite impressed with this car. I never had good impression on Chinese cars, but this totally changed it.
Same here. I've always thought of Chinese cars as the early days of Hyundai and Kia. However, it appears that's no longer the case. These cars look really nice and I'd definitely try them out if there were available in the US! Hopefully, they are also reliable too.
@@pquach00 very reliable. Chinese usually keep cars for many many years
@@pquach00 none of them will not be allowed to enter US market due to “national security” concern.
@@yeetian2774 because the west cant compete fairly but the chinese are good
You deserve many more subscribers...... The Chinese automotive industry is like the U.S auto industry in the first half of last century. They are coming out with innovative and interesting vehicles from an assortment of manufacturers. This channel is the best for giving a peek inside this fascinating industry. Well done!!
U got the essence.

@@matpk I'm a bit curious. How much have you got paid for posting the same message everywhere? Or are you a bot?
I'm really liking Changan exterior design, but I can't help thinking Acura when I see the logo 😂
Logo by acura, rear facia from porsche , front facia by Lexus and the interior from a MB. Humm not very original at all
Changan is nicknamed "Acura King" in China
@@dt8101 so do people think its generally better or worse?
@@fatpigeon1066 it’s a nickname, ppl also nicknamed Acura “ChangAn king”
Still better looking then any Acura products out there .... suv..
Clarkson was right a few years back on his assessment of the Chinese auto industry exponential growth curve. Their designs are certainly interesting even if derivative (could say that about every manufacturer) but given Nio and other companies pushing the bar, things are starting to look antiquated on our side of the pond.
Here in Brazil we already have Chery, that does amazing cars... Tiggo 8 is my favorite... Chinese industry improved so much in the last few years.
Only 3rd world countries buy Chinese cars, they wouldn’t sell here in Europe or the USA
@@Shane-zx4ps “...then NIO started selling in Norway last week...”
@@Shane-zx4ps Tell this to Ford, Chevrolet, Volkswagen and many others, U smell dumb for me.
@@Shane-zx4ps Lets dont forget Volvo XC60, made in China :P
@@Shane-zx4ps US has “national security concern” on all Chinese products. Time to Wake up bro
Speakers are SONY, well done Changan, well done.
It's either the road that well built or the car is that quite, for a minute it sounded purely electric, you got to appreciate that men.
Interior NVH was genuinely impressive for this class of vehicle, we were also surprised.
advise you to take a test drive of BYD song pro, i bought one for my dad 1.5year ago. it was even better NVH than my BMW 5series. amazing.
Wow that interior is amazing ! I thought it is electric car. Changan is becoming popular car here in Saudi Arabia.
Do you have any idea when the Uni-K and Uni-T will be coming to the Saudi market?
@@invis8915 Not sure because there are no news about bringing it to Saudi Arabia.
Mid-2022 is what I can say unofficially ;)
Hope it'll come to the US soon. Really like the styling of this car.
This SUV looks really nice, I really liked it, I hope this car comes to Mexico
Love the front grill design. It just flows with the design. Well done.
I love Changan from Mongolia. I was driving for test drive before. So cool 🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳

Wow love your channel!
This is so unique
Please keep on doing this
Cheers form India!!
love your coverage of the Chinese automotive industry!
I like the dashboard 👍
Fascinating channel dude - I’m a 51 yo car enthusiast from Australia and I love this stuff - Chinas car market reminds me of the American market up to the 1950s with so many manufacturers at the moment - you’d think they’ll start to consolidate in the next decade or two
Their domestic market is competitive and good thing for the car consumers. Like every mature car markets, it will end up with just a few major players eventually.

@@cadhlaohanlon4443 ha-ha, I do remember that term from my economy class.
you forgot that tesla is an american company lool ?

Or maybe they’ll join forces
These Chinese cars have really come a long way. I really like the style of this CUV. Wondering when these will be available in the US.
The compact steering wheel and displays remind me of Peugeot's i-Cockpit concept! So cool!
Dang, chang an make lit cars! We need them in the African Market!
Thank you for your comments on Chinese cars. I'm very proud that China will make more and better cars
Yes... Someone, and more and more, on youtube has to be starting reviewing Chinese cars... You guys def on the right track...!
Thorough job. Well done!!!
Great reviews of interesting vehicles. Thankyou
Wow, cool looking suv. Thanks for all your reviews!
Those grills looks amazing.
Proper petrol head. Somehow ended up on your channel. Watched 3 vids, liked them, subscribed. Keep up the good work. Glad to have found you 👊🏻
Thanks for the insights
Just beautiful
Cannot wait to buy this beautiful car. will wait to buy one
Loved the quick review format
Great channel. Me as european I get puzzled with ll the different brands and models that come up in the very diverse chinese market. There are some nice offerings that dont have to hide behind established western makes...
They are improving so fast it is amazing.
I’d love to see this in the UK
This looks quite nice! If it weren't for the exhaust I would have thought it was electric too.
Me too
damn, that center screen looks insane
Looks good! 👍
Wow, super impressive!
Lindo esse 🚗. Devia vir ao Brazil, iria fazer maior sucesso. ❤❤❤🥰
Great looking car the interior looks reminiscent of a new Citroen c4 / Peugeot 3008. It would be great if we start seeing some of theses new cars here in Australia. Keep up the great work mate.
Seats are designed by the same (PSA owned) company, Faurecia. Probably designed in Portugal but don't quote me on that. The overall interior design is made in Yokoama, Japan and the exterior in Turin, Italy, and it shows.
Just stumbled upon your videos really enjoyed the content, a perspective of the automotive industry I’ve yet to experience well done just subscribed
That is quite a nice car!
Awesome interior!
That's great changan👍👏👏👏
Uni T is a sportage and uni K is a luxury car 🌼
Toooooo beautiful....not even BMW can compare in terms of beauty and interior
Wow this car is amazing 👏
Profile looks great.
nice car, nice design, hoping this car comes to phillipines
EXCELLENT REVIEW, AND EXCELLENT CAR LOVE FROM PAKISTAN, KEEP THE GOOD WORK GOING LIKE THIS 👍
China is the next automobile manufacturing leader. Cannot wait to buy this one
Need this in the states
A quite interesting SUV. Thanks for the intro. Looking for a full review of it!
Thanks brother
Beautiful interior
Thanks for the video. Hope you could upload more videos in the future. Sometime it just waits too long for your next update
Thank you for your support! We’re trying to be more consistent with our uploads this year, so we appreciate your patience.
I would love to see Changan come to my country, their cars looks awesome!
Which country are you in?
@@siril1691 indonesia, currently there are only 2 serious chinese car manufacturer here (both even open a large factory here), Wuling and DFSK, SAIC's MG is present here too but they only open some dealerships and import their car completely from Thailand. Geely should make a comeback here with their modern cars (maybe even Lynk & Co)
@@senseihEnRY16 udah ada Changan bro di Indonesia, liat aja Esemka 😁
@@senseihEnRY16 It's great to know that so many Chinese brands in Indonesia, I wish Changan and all the other brands open their factories soon.
@@senseihEnRY16 Geely already penetrated the Malaysian market with Boyue (Proton X70) and Binyue (Proton X50), I cant wait to see Changan CS75 Plus in the near future
Looks pretty nice. It looks like Chinese cars' quality has increased dramatically over the past few years. They need to start exporting them to U.S.
Great review 👍👍🌹 ... Awesome car 👍👍❤🌹🌹🌹
Loving the car
Good video, and for your information the steering wheel is a Peugeot steering wheel. And the concept to have the center screen above is inspiré from Peugeot brand
Very good sensible commentary
Great looking design Living in China I would buy one nice interior as well
😲😲😲looks nice，I like the interiors
Nice ride. Sadly this is not available in Malaysia. In Malaysia there are only Haval and Geely/Proton joints venture.
Wooow , beautiful model , Changan very good..
Its good looking!
Excellent car, loving the design and all the tech.
Please do a review on the WEY Tank 300! Absolutely amazing car!
Agreed!
Beast of an offroader!
I hope this will come on phils
Just subbed great channel most interesting 👍😎⭐️
looking forward to the full review, also make review of Changan Oshan X7 and X5!
What a wonderful car I wish I had one
love your video
Even though the vehicle seems to have an inverted Acura badge and a bit of a Peugeot steering wheel overall it's really nicely designed and put together.
Outside design is good,side look somehow like lexus NX.
Dont like inside inferior design style,but I think it still suitable for for most people.
2.0 turbocharge engine with 233ps is enough for it.
Many Chinese company's mid size SUV(at least in China will call it mid size,fight against Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV)will be in the market in a few months like this UNI-K,Changchrng WEY Mocha and Geely Xingyue L,will you make a three car competition?
Great Insight into Chinese auto market.
Would like to see Geely preface and tank300 reviews
First, i want to thank you for your great efforts and of course you know how much its hard to find any review in english for Chinese cars. Second i need more about your view about driving uni t
Third if you can do a review about geely cars specially azkarra and coolray
Thanks
Тhis video is so good go ahead with such videos
we need this car in malaysia😍
I really like the uni T. Haval and Chery are already in Malaysia. But same as you really do hope to see chamggan, BYD and wuling.
hi! good video! i want to know if those changan cars can use larger wheels?
When would this be available in the US?
I have one question ? How long the range of fuel tank take you by k/m ?! 🙏🏻 thanks
Changan have become very very popular in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Amazing review bro 👍☺️💗🇵🇰
This is king of the Acura
kudos from Beijing
Thanks 👍
Looks very Jaguar F pace from the side and rear. The interior is very Peugeot/DS.
1:38
The side view is clearly inspired in the Jaguar F-Pace, is almost the same.
hope for a tank300 review
Go through Best UA-cam Channel Than Carwow
The upside down Acura logo 😂
For a second there I thought it was Acura
Acura only exists in America, no one else in the world cares for or knows Acura
@@dendrov Wrong. Acura exists in North America (Canada, US, Mexico), Kuwait, and even CHINA. In regards to your second point that nobody cares for or knows Acura, well that's just a blatant fallacy. Point still stands: upside down Acura logo 🤣
besides that...
Acura logo is kinda like a sideways lexus logo
Dope design Will there be a righthand drive??
It’s interesting to see so many Americans judging Chinese cars since none of them have ever seen a real one in real life.
Can you give more details about the wear of the materials? Well, this model has just arrived in LATAM, thanks.
This is a Chinese spaceship. I like the interior and the exterior. This is a car that I can pay for. The worst part is, I am living in the EU where you’re forced to drive Dacia. Dacia is a branch of the Renault-Nissan Corp. This car is compared to the Dacia a next-generation spaceship light years ahead. The only thing I would miss here is a plug-in hybrid. If that car would have that option for let’s say 80 km (50 miles) pure electrical driving, it would be my favorite option.
I thought i was the only one who's thinking it is an spaceship🤣🤣🤣
@@akhadmea.2937 Check out their plug-in hybrid version which is called Uni-K IDD,130 km pure electrical driving, the company does want people to think this car looks like spaceship.😜😜😜
Dacia? The Dacia Spring was given a 1-star rating by the Euro NCAP while the Renault Zoe received 0 star!
makes me want to swap my Lexus NX for this, if only it's sold here in Australia
Do the CS35 please!
I started watching your videos and I can’t believe the prices. Will the U.S. ever start importing them?
likely never. Japan made a lot of great crossovers, but never got to sell in the American market due to regulations.
Creo que nunca llegará..... Por la guerra comercial mutua
