Nachi U5 SUV officially launched

Nachi launched a new small SUV model to the market - Nachi U5 SUV, the appearance of this car is a very personalized design, powered with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and launched ten models for consumers to choose.

New car features

Exterior design "personality" is enough

I think the word "personality" is enough to summarize the exterior design of the U5 SUV. The new car's personality starts with many exterior details. In the front part, the latest family-style front face is decorated with a large number of chrome, and the internal dotted design has appeared on many luxury brand models. And the shape of the headlights on both sides is also full of personality, the lines on both sides extend backward and connect with the decorative pieces on the front wings, such a design is not common, and I believe it will also become the signature design of this car.

The sidelines of the new car are more daring than the above-mentioned details, and the low front and high rear waistline combined with the coupe-style roof shape make the Nachi U5 SUV look unique among many other products in its class. At the rear, the visual center of the new car is placed high, creating a complex rear image through a large number of folds and arcs. In the body size part, this car is 4395/1763/1594 mm in length, width and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2620 mm.

The interior design goes in a simple style

Compared to the personality and fashion style of the exterior design, the interior of the Nachi U5 SUV brings some different experiences. The interior lines of the new car are relatively simple, of course, thanks to the application of the large central LCD screen. This is only the overall feeling, the details of this car also used a lot of folding line design, and the sense of hierarchy is also very strong.

The size of the car's central LCD screen is 12 inches, which integrates many functions, such as air conditioning, Bluetooth, car connectivity, Baidu CarLife, a panoramic image system, etc. The new car is equipped with a panoramic image system that is also different from the traditional design, and it contains 2D/3D modes, which is considered a highlight configuration of this car.

Good performance in ride and storage space

As a small SUV with a small size, the Nachi U5 SUV deserves recognition in terms of space performance. In our previous experience, when a 180cm tall editor rode in the front row, the remaining headspace was one fist. Keeping the front seat position unchanged, when the same editor rides in the back row, the head space is 4 fingers and the leg space is more than two fists, and the bulge in the center of the back row is not excessive, so it does not have too much impact on the ride. In terms of storage space, the car also has good performance in terms of quantity and practicality.

Only one power option is available

In terms of power equipment, the Nachi U5 SUV is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, which has a maximum power of 124 hp (91 kW) and a peak torque of 153 Nm. In terms of the transmission system, it is matched with a CVT gearbox that can simulate 7 speeds and a 5-speed manual transmission. From our previous test drive of the Taiwan model (click to see the Taiwan model test drive article), this powertrain does not bring too much passion but is more towards family comfort.

Competitors

There is no doubt that the Nachi U5 SUV will enter the most competitive segment of the small SUV market for Chinese brands, and will be competing with the main small SUVs of various brands, such as the Guangqi GS3, Haval H2, and China V3. Compared to these more "traditional" models, the Nachi U5 SUV's design is more personalized and more attractive to young consumers who are more maverick in character. The car is also equipped with technology features such as 2D/3D panoramic camera, which is also its "eye-catcher". However, the influence of the Nachi brand in China is weak, and the previous models have not achieved particularly good results, so if you want to accept this new car, you need to make some efforts in the brand and other aspects.

Full summary: the choice of buying for individuality

The Nachi U5 SUV has a distinctive label, which is individuality, while the space and novel configuration is also important highlights. With these product strengths, Nachi has also set a more sincere price for this vehicle, which shows the high hopes Nachi has for this vehicle. However, the reshaping of the Nachi brand is not something that can be changed by this one car. The niche, some of the products are old, and the low retention rate is some of the problems that Nachi must face. As the opening work of the "510" new car plan, the Nachi U5 SUV has an extra heavy burden on its shoulders. Let's wait and see if it can achieve the desired results in the small SUV market.
