Is the Changan UNI-T's failure rate high?
2 Answers
The overall failure rate of the Changan UNI-T is not high. Here is an introduction to the Changan UNI-T: 1. Exterior: A youthful and alternative style. Changan's designs in recent years, starting with the PLUS model series, have won over a large number of fans. The sporty large grille design has become a new signature of the brand. 2. Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4515×1870×1565mm, making it relatively compact in size, but the wheelbase is quite large at 2710mm, and the minimum ground clearance reaches 190mm. 3. Interior: The design, materials, and configurations are all top-notch. The interior of the Changan UNI-T, like the PLUS series models, features a dual 10.3-inch LCD screen design, offering excellent display quality and coming as standard across all variants.
As a three-year owner of the Changan UNI-T, I find its overall failure rate quite acceptable, though there were minor hiccups when new. Initially encountered several false alarms from the electronic system, like occasional AC control freezes – fixed by replacing a sensor once. No major issues since; both engine and transmission proved durable. Compared to peers, UNI-T's failure rate is slightly higher than Japanese models, but its cost-performance ratio is outstanding with low maintenance costs and affordable parts. I recommend checking owner forums like Autohome where many share common issues, mostly focused on small batteries or software bugs. Regular maintenance is crucial, especially oil changes and wiring inspections, which significantly reduce failure risks. Overall, for daily commuting, its reliability is decent – nothing to overly worry about.
