Changan’s To be Launched SUVs Arrived!
Changan Pakistan continues to tease the petrol heads through different hints, photos and now with a new spotting. In newly surfaced videos, two SUVs, reportedly to be launched, have been spotted at a dealership of Changan in Karachi. Those short clips show UNI-T and Oshan X7 being parked at the showroom. And this means that either one of them or both compact SUVs will hit the local roads.
Although there is no report or confirmation about the launch date, however, we are hoping that it would be before June 2021, when the current Automotive Development Policy will expire. Furthermore, Changan has uploaded three posts on its official Facebook page, hinting at a new launch. So, fingers crossed and wait is on.
In one of the videos, you can see the autonomous driving system of UNI-T working. Under this Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, the company has planned to introduce a complete self-driving feature in the future. However, it is highly unlikely that it will be introduced in Pakistan any time soon.
