2026 Changan UNI-V 3rd-Gen

The third-generation Changan UNI-V has officially been launched, offering four trim levels. As the best-selling model in the Changan UNI family, this facelift targets the young and sporty market, aiming to reignite the appeal of fuel-powered performance sedans through comprehensive upgrades in design, power, and intelligent features.In terms of design, the third-generation UNI-V exterior features a completely redesigned front fascia. The new “shark nose” biomimetic styling replaces the previous borderless grille, with a closed upper section, aggressive lower air intakes, and an orange front splitter, giving the car a more dynamic and athletic presence.

The profile retains the signature fastback silhouette, while the door handles have been changed from hidden to semi-hidden for improved usability. At the rear, a full-width LED taillight design is paired with a quad exhaust layout. All trims come standard with an active rear spoiler that automatically deploys at higher speeds, as well as an electric liftback tailgate.

The Changan UNI-V interior has been significantly redesigned, with a notable boost in tech appeal. A floating dual-screen setup—consisting of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch central display—replaces the old triple-screen layout, with far fewer physical buttons and a return to a traditional round steering wheel. The UNI-V runs on the Tianshu OS system and, for the first time, integrates the DeepSeek AI voice assistant, supporting multi-command natural language understanding. All trims are equipped with an L2-level advanced driver assistance system.

Powertrain upgrades are another highlight for the 2026 Changan UNI-V. The all-new 2.0T engine delivers up to 245 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, enabling 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 6.3 seconds. The 1.5T variant retains the previous generation’s setup, with a full-tank driving range of up to 1,000 km according to Changan UNI-V reviews.
