Changan UNI-S 4WD: New All-Wheel-Drive Crossover Goes on Sale in Kazakhstan

Changan’s official distributor in Kazakhstan, part of Astana Motors, has announced the launch of sales of the new UNI-S 4WD all-wheel-drive crossover. The vehicle is locally manufactured at the Astana Motors Manufacturing Kazakhstan (AMMKZ) multi-brand automotive plant in Almaty.

The new UNI-S 4WD is designed for drivers seeking a versatile vehicle for daily urban commuting, long-distance journeys, and outdoor adventures.

Among its key features are an all-wheel-drive (4WD) system and factory-engineered adaptations for Kazakhstan’s driving and climate conditions. The crossover is offered in a single trim level, priced at KZT 11,790,000, and comes with an official manufacturer’s warranty of five years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first.

“In Kazakhstan, it is particularly important for vehicles to be prepared for a wide range of operating conditions. Throughout the year, drivers face everything from extreme winter temperatures to intense summer heat and challenging road conditions. Our goal was to offer customers a modern, well-equipped crossover that feels equally at home in city traffic, on highways, and during family road trips,” said Denis Kolomatsky, Distribution Director at Changan Kazakhstan.

The Changan UNI-S 4WD is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine producing 181 hp and 280 Nm of torque, available from just 1,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (7DCT), enabling the crossover to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds.

In addition to the standard Eco, Normal, and Sport driving modes, the UNI-S 4WD offers dedicated Snow, Mud, and Sand modes to enhance traction on challenging surfaces. Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA) provide additional support when navigating steep gradients.
The Kazakhstan-spec UNI-S stands out with its all-wheel-drive system, an enlarged 68-liter fuel tank, and engine-start capability in temperatures as low as −40°C. The crossover is compatible with RON 92 petrol and offers an estimated driving range of approximately 820 km, with a stated fuel consumption of 8.3 liters per 100 km.

For added comfort during the winter months, the vehicle features heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, heated windows, mirrors, and windshield washer nozzles, as well as remote engine start.

The exterior of the Changan UNI-S features bold body lines, LED lighting, a rear spoiler, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a panoramic roof with a power-operated sunroof. Customers can choose from five exterior colors and three interior color schemes.

Inside, the cabin combines perforated synthetic leather upholstery, ambient lighting, and soft-touch interior trim. The driver’s seat features power adjustment, a memory function, and an easy-entry feature that automatically adjusts the seat position for easier access. The front seats are also equipped with ventilation.

The infotainment system is centered around a 14.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, complemented by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The interface supports four languages: Kazakh, Russian, English, and Uzbek.

Additional comfort and convenience features include dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless smartphone charging, and a power-operated tailgate providing access to a 475-liter luggage compartment.

The UNI-S 4WD is equipped with a comprehensive range of advanced driver assistance and safety technologies, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go functionality, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane Keeping Assist.

The safety package also includes a 360-degree surround-view camera system, remote parking functionality, and six airbags.

In the first nine months of 2026, the brand sold more than 15,600 vehicles nationwide, climbing from eighth to fourth place in the overall automotive sales rankings. During the same period, its market share increased from 5% to 9%.
