The two are wowing eventgoers with the brand’s Vision-V design theme.

The Changan Motor Philippines, Inc. (CMPI) is showcasing its crossover models at its Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) booth with the Uni-T and Uni-K crossovers.

The two crossovers are part of the brand’s Uni Series, which aims to provide more upscale models to the market. From the styling alone guided by Changan’s signature design philosophy Vision-V, MIAS spectators can tell right away that the Uni-T and Uni-K can deliver a more premium driving experience.

Flaunting a design that looks straight out of a science-fiction film, the Uni-T is the smaller crossover between the two. The Uni-T also features sporty aesthetics thanks to its sharp character lines, swept-back wind design, quad-exhaust setup, and aggressive-looking 19-inch wheels.

Powering this vehicle is a 1.5-liter Blue Core turbocharged gasoline engine good for 176 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. The power unit is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). To help adapt to various road conditions, drives modes such as Normal, Eco, and Sport are made available.

Meanwhile, the Uni-K joins the midsize crossover segment. In comparison to the Uni-T, the bigger crossover comes with more laid-back yet elegant aesthetics. It comes with features such as 21-inch alloys, a panoramic sunroof, and a 10.3-inch head unit with a 12-speaker Sony sound system.

Both crossovers are capable of Level 2 autonomous driving, coming with advanced driver assist system functions including Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Blind Spot Detection Warning (BSDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKAS), and Lane Change Assist (LCA), among others.
