The British government provides a grant that pays 35% of the price of all-electric cars, up to a maximum of 3,500 pounds (RM18,434).
Designed in Sweden and engineered in the UK, the Uniti One has first deliveries planned in Sweden and the UK for mid- 2020.
A permanent magnet motor drives the rear wheels, producing an output of 50 kW (68ps) and 85Nm of torque.
The Uniti One’s standard 12 kWh battery provides 150km of range from a single charge, while the optional 24 kWh battery extends range to 300km.
100km of range can be added in just 10 minutes using a 50 kW CCS charger.
The larger 24 kWh battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in two hours and six minutes with a typical domestic 7 kW charger and the optional on-board fast charger installed, or just seventeen minutes via a 50 kW CCS charging unit.
The 12 kWh battery option takes one hour and three minutes to charge from 20% to 80% (with on-board fast charger), or just nine minutes using a 50 kW CCS unit.
With the battery situated beneath the floor, it has a flexible one-plus-two seating configuration, with ample space for two adult rear passengers.
The split-folding rear seat increases the Uniti One’s flexibility and, with three occupants on-board, the vehicle provides 155 litres of rear cargo capacity.
With the rear bench folded flat, the Uniti One provides 760 litres of usable cargo space.
The Uniti One’s Scandinavian-inspired design creates a unique profile with clean, simple body lines and smooth contours.
Flush door handles maintain the smoothness of the car’s flanks.
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.
Soft-touch materials and high-quality engineered textiles cover the flowing shapes and lines of the cabin, with machined aluminium used for the door handles and interior trim accents, as well as the circular dashboard button surrounds.
The Uniti One leverages the benefits of Android Automotive OS, an integrated system that brings access to Google Maps, Waze, Spotify and dozens of other Play Store apps and services without requiring a dedicated or connected smartphone.
Employing smartphone-style, Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates allows Uniti to improve the car’s safety and performance.
The Uniti One does away with the need for a traditional key or fob, with entry to the car enabled via Uniti’s secure mobile app.
