Why export the UNI-T Premium?

The UNI-T 1.5T DCT is the Changan UNI-T grade most export buyers order, and it is the one we hold in allocation at Chongqing. Built by Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited on the group EPA1 platform, it pairs the Blue Whale NE1.5T direct-injection engine with a wet 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, so it tolerates the stop-start city duty cycles typical of African and Central Asian fleets. The 2,710 mm wheelbase gives adult rear legroom inside a 4,535 mm footprint that still fits tight urban parking. For dealers opening a Changan franchise, this trim is the cheapest way to put a modern coupe-SUV on the showroom floor.

UNI-T Premium export questions

How many UNI-T 1.5T fit in a 40HQ container?

Two. The UNI-T is 1,565 mm tall with the roof rails, which is what limits it — a 40HQ takes three UNI-V sedans but only two UNI-T. That makes containerised UNI-T shipping more expensive per unit than Ro-Ro at every volume, so container it for paint protection and pilferage risk rather than to save money.

Is the 7-speed dual-clutch reliable in heavy traffic?

It is a wet dual-clutch, not a dry one, which is the distinction that matters. Wet DCTs run the clutch packs in oil and handle stop-start traffic far better than the dry units that gave early Chinese and European DCTs their reputation. That said, for a vehicle that will crawl in traffic all day at high ambient temperature, or operate above roughly 2,000 m, we still steer buyers to the UNI-T 2.0T and its Aisin torque-converter automatic.

Can the 20-inch wheels be swapped for something cheaper to run?

Yes — ask for the Elite grade, which comes on 19-inch wheels. A 245/45 R20 tyre is expensive and hard to source outside major cities, which turns into a real fleet cost once the original set wears out. If the vehicles will operate away from the capital, raise it at enquiry stage rather than after delivery.
