Changan Launches Second-Generation UNI-S in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia: Changan has just launched the second-generation UNI-S in Saudi Arabia. This marks the next big move by the brand after selling 500,000 vehicles across the Middle East and Africa.

What's New on the Second-Generation UNI-S

Changan is completely changing the previous UNI-S  with a new design, smarter intelligence, more comfort, and a new powertrain. Here is what it brings new in the Saudi market:

UNI-S Exterior Design 

The new UNI-S is built around Changan’s "stability and harmony" design language. The headlight strips merge with the grille into a shield shape that flows into a trapezoidal lower intake, and the same visual theme carries through to the taillights and wheel rims. It carries the same visual theme through to the taillights and wheel rims too. This gives the next-gen UNI-S a cohesive look, making the UNI-S stand out in a crowded compact SUV segment with other best SUVs in Saudi Arabia.

Interior and Comfort Features

The cabin has been completely redesigned with large areas of soft-touch material, which feels clearly of high quality, well above the outgoing generation. It gets the:

The voice commands work in both English and Arabic, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard and other built-in entertainment apps like Spotify and YouTube. On the safety side, the UNI-S adds a fuller driver assistance suite:

• Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC)
• Lane Change Assist (LCA)

• Remote parking

Performance and All-Terrain Capability

The second-generation UNI-S is fitted with a new four-wheel-drive terrain system. It offers six driving modes, including dedicated Snow, Mud, and Sand. Each mode automatically adjusts the ECU, TCU, all-wheel-drive distribution, stability control, and steering response to match the surface.
