Breaking: Sport Version of the Changan UNI-T Reportedly Reaches Saudi Arabia with a 2.0L Turbo Engine

A bigger engine and an 8-speed automatic are reported for the sport version of the UNI-T, while official trims and pricing are still to come.

The news in brief

Photos in circulation suggest a sport version of the Changan UNI-T has reached its Saudi distributor, Almajdouie Motors, and circulating details say it pairs a 2.0-liter turbo engine with an 8-speed Aisin automatic. There has been no official confirmation, and no price or approved power figure, as of November 4, 2026.

This matters to compact-SUV shoppers because the UNI-T is currently offered with a 1.5-liter turbo only, while circulating details point to a 2.0-liter turbo in its sport version. Almajdouie has not confirmed anything officially yet, and at AlRomaih Cars we are following what the distributor announces about trims and pricing.

Key points

• The news: reports that the sport version of the UNI-T has reached Changan’s distributor in Saudi Arabia.

• Engine: 2.0-liter turbo, according to circulating details.

• Transmission: 8-speed Aisin automatic.

• Official status: the distributor has not published trims, power, pricing or an on-sale date as of November 4, 2026.

How does the Sport differ from the current UNI-T?

The UNI-T is currently offered in Saudi Arabia in two trims, Elite and SVP, with a 1.5-liter turbo producing 177 hp and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Sport is reported to move to a 2.0-liter turbo with an 8-speed Aisin automatic, a combination the UNI-T has already offered in other markets.

Elite and SVP prices follow the distributor’s official page as of November 4, 2026 and are indicative. We do not compare figures that have not been officially announced.

What it means for Saudi buyers

The distributor already sells the UNI-V Sport with a 2.0-liter turbo making 229 hp and 390 N·m, paired with an 8-speed automatic. If the same engine-and-gearbox setup is confirmed for the UNI-T Sport, compact-SUV shoppers would get a larger-displacement option than today’s two UNI-T trims. Power and torque for this version have not been announced, so we do not assign it figures from another model.

• Trims and equipment available in Saudi Arabia.

• Official power and torque figures.

• Price including VAT.

• On-sale date at showrooms.
