Shanghai (Gasgoo)- The Changan UNI-K, the mass-produced version of the Vision-V concept unveiled at the Auto China 2020, will hit the market on March 23, according to a local media outlet.

It is the second mass-produced model of Changan Automobile's premium car sequence “UNI”, which is also called “Yinli” (引力) in Chinese, meaning “Gravity” in English. Coming with four variants, the UNI-K is priced between 157,900 yuan ($24,315) and 188,900 yuan ($29,090) in presale.

The UNI-K inherits the “borderless” design language of the “UNI” lineup, rendering quite an avant-garde front look. The grille at the front uses an array of hexagonal graphics decoration, whose relation to the grille of the Vision-V concept is very apparent.

The shape of the headlights also stays true to that of the Vision-V concept. The slender, sharp-angled headlight cluster looks rather unmistakable. Moreover, the fog lamps shaped like three-pointed star on both sides of the front bumper display a striking resemblance to the Vision-V concept as well.

The clean simple side profile coupled with 21-inch wheel hubs accentuates the sports essence. The “hidden” rear door handles are designed to lower the drag coefficient.

At the rear, a light strip runs across the width of the vehicle. It is said that the shape of rear spoiler and high-mount stop lamps are inspired by interstellar spacecraft.
