Why export the UNI-Z 500Bar?

The UNI-Z is the load-carrier of the UNI line and the one to quote when a buyer keeps asking about boot space. Built by Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited on the platform that started life as the Oshan Z6, it is 4,699 mm long on a 2,795 mm wheelbase — 164 mm more wheelbase than the UNI-T — and swallows 638 litres behind the rear seats, rising to 1,425 litres folded. That is close to double the UNI-T. The Blue Whale NE1.5T with 500 bar injection drives a wet 7-speed dual-clutch, and the 540-degree camera is standard on both grades. Ride-hailing operators who carry luggage and NGO fleets that carry equipment buy this one.

What it is bought for

  • Airport transfer and luggage-heavy ride-hailing
  • NGO and field-project fleets
  • Family and multi-purpose retail
  • Dealer showroom stock
  • Hotel and resort shuttles

Key figures

  • 638 L boot behind the rear seats, 1,425 L with the bench folded
  • 2,795 mm wheelbase — 85 mm longer than the UNI-T and 45 mm longer than the UNI-V
  • 138 kW (188 PS) Blue Whale NE1.5T with 500 bar direct injection
  • 6.87 L/100 km WLTC combined, roughly 800 km from the 55 L tank
  • 540-degree panoramic camera standard on both 500Bar grades

UNI-Z 500Bar export questions

How does the UNI-Z differ from the UNI-T?

Space. Both are crossovers with the same 1.5T engine and gearbox, but the UNI-Z is 164 mm longer, rides on an 85 mm longer wheelbase and carries 638 litres against the UNI-T’s 350. The UNI-T is the style buy — a low coupe roofline on 20-inch wheels. The UNI-Z is the practical buy, and it is the one to send where passengers travel with luggage.

How many UNI-Z fit in a 40HQ container?

Two. At 1,660 mm tall it is the highest vehicle in the catalogue, so it loads like the UNI-T rather than the UNI-V: two per 40HQ against three for the sedans. Containerising it therefore costs more per unit than Ro-Ro at every volume — choose the container to protect paint and stop pilferage, not to save money.

Which grade should a fleet order?

The 500Bar PRO. It runs 225/55 R19 tyres rather than the 245/50 R20 of the MAX, which matters once the original set wears out and the fleet is sourcing rubber outside a capital city. Both grades carry the same engine, gearbox and the 540-degree camera; the MAX adds equipment rather than capability.
