Swedish electric car maker, Uniti, has revealed the pricing and specification of its first fully-electric car - Uniti One. Designed in Sweden and engineered in the UK, the Uniti One has been created from the ground-up to be an urban electric vehicle with good enough space for three adults. The company has announced the price of the car at €17,760 (Rs. 13.90 lakh approximately) and will be offered with a choice of two battery sizes, the Uniti One has a range of up to 300 km, which can be charged from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in just 17 minutes with a 50 kW CCS charger. The car will be available initially initially to buyers in northern Europe and with first deliveries planned in Sweden and the UK for mid-2020. The company had announced plans to enter the Indian market too and it was expected to launch its electric car in the country by 2020.
The Uniti One offers enough space for three people with its one-plus-two seating configuration, there's good enough ergonomics on the inside and good visibility for the driver as well. With the battery situated beneath the floor, the Uniti One's interior space is not compromised on and makes it a very practical car. The central driving position gives rear passengers quick and easy access into and out of the cabin, whilst minimising driver disruption, making the Uniti One the perfect urban vehicle for everything from the school-run to a micro taxi vehicle.
A split-folding rear seat is fitted as standard, and with three occupants on-board, the vehicle provides 155 litres of rear cargo capacity. Additional storage space either side of the drivers' seat means that longer packages fit with ease. With the rear bench folded flat, and in its maximum load-carrying configuration, the Uniti One turns into a single-seater, providing the driver with a generous 760 litres of usable cargo space.
We've seen Uniti bring its car to India at the 2018 Delhi Auto Expo and we've seen there that the car has a very simple design. The soft shapes and surface transitions add strength to the Uniti One's neat and compact proportions, with the rising belt line and arcing roof profile combining to create a clean, coherent and dynamic form. At the front, the recessed headlights neatly incorporate wing-shaped daytime running lights and LED indicators. Arranged above the character crease in bold, horizontal lines, the rear LED lights span the width of the car.
The Uniti One is offered in three elemental colour tones - bright metallic Scandium, dark Graphite and warm Titanium. The canopy-style windscreen stretches over the cabin space to create an airy environment for occupants, and, with good rear legroom, affords the Uniti One with a relaxed and refined ambience akin to far larger vehicles.
With an electrochromic panoramic roof as standard, cabin brightness can be controlled as desired, ranging from transparent through to fully opaque, and all within a few seconds. The roof automatically darkens to prevent the vehicle heating up when parked, which also helps reduce the amount of energy needed to cool the cabin again. The electrochromic glass also acts as virtual sun visor, tinting the top of the windscreen to reduce brightness and glare for the driver.
The Uniti One comes with a permanent magnet motor drives the rear wheels, producing an output of 50 kW (67 bhp) and 85 Nm of torque. The Uniti One's standard 12 kWh battery provides 150 km of range from a single charge, while the optional 24 kWh battery extends range to an impressive 300 km. A 100 km of range can be added in just ten minutes using a 50 kW CCS charger.
