A few years ago, the Honda Gate was just starting, and a lot of people had big problems with this car. Because the car roughly looks big, other core competencies don't come out immediately. People gradually became clear about the perception of the car, and then proved that the crown was able to make itself - if you want to challenge Hallana, you would not have a similar attack on the Halland.
Now, the crown is still one of the focal points of the 250,000 in the SUV market, you can grab the Haaland cake, which can attract potential customers from Tyrone l.in 2020, and GAC Honda has also launched the medium crown - when the terminology changes, once again refreshing people's awareness of Honda's domestic flagship. In 2019 and 2020, we also tasted a lot of SUVs, among which the newly launched 20~300,000 big SUVs, some of the highlight models are independent seats, look at 2020, the concept of the medium change "big five" crown is challenged?
Then let's feel that the 2020 Honda sled can keep up with the steps of the times.
▲ As a mid-term change model, the appearance of the 2020 championship is comparative, and it is basically a change in details such as a bumper.
▲ The new taillight design is the most intuitive and intuitive change of the crown in 2020
▲The exhaust pipe changes from double.
▲ The size of the wheel is still 19 inches.
▲ The interior inherits the luxury that has always been emphasized.
Especially in the rear row, the crown reflects all aspects of luxury, such as this electric side curtain curtain
▲ The door handrail can control the windows and sunlight, and it can also be seen that the design of the rear door panel is indeed advanced.
▲ The crown is several high-rise models of Honda products, which also makes the middle seat of the crown unaffected by the drive shaft and the central passage, and realizes the "big five" space.
▲ Another correct method of opening the five seats
▲ There is a special area air conditioner in the rear row, which is the basic operation
A small question is why the air conditioning adjustment is not integrated into the rear row of the central armrest
The interior space and high level can be said to be the essence of the crown. Regardless of the paint, the positioning is clear, determining that this car is more advanced than the same price model, and it can also be said that the feedback of the car: Designed as a 330,000-top model. This Crown 2.0t test drive is very high, completely viewing the level of 50,000 class luxury cars.
As a medium-term change model, the Honda Guandao 2.0t also focuses on the people. The only 2.0t set of 9-speed 9-speed automatic transmission in the country, this sales are not very high, mainly because the 1.5t+ cvt version has a higher price /low entry. Thresholds, which also meet the requirements of most people, especially in the balance of electricity and fuel economy.
The 2.0t engine can output 272 hp and 370 nm, in line with the positioning and power of the crown, and the agitation gearbox still comes from the ZF's 9 speed. This power match was different in the mouth before the mid-term change presented the crown, but I didn't drive before. The crown champion is the high power 1.5t + cvt version, tell the honest 1.5t to give me very good, smooth and smart, weak strength? Does not exist, do not think that the 1.5t output is weak, except for the high speed, which is a small displacement boost engine, the city will even get a "3.0l engine?" "Illusion.
And with this 2.0t output capacity, it's clear that the power supply at high speeds is more powerful. But the interesting thing is that it's obvious that only two% of the throttle depth, a bit bigger? Initially, this engine could pull the speed to a single torque, in fact, this 9at suddenly reduced the number of gears by two. It is "this 9-speed automatic transmission is very lively, the car is 2.2 tons." ”
These characteristics are also reflected in medium and low speed urban driving conditions. This 2.0t seems to prefer medium and high-speed outputs, so when accelerating, the gearbox is always reduced by one or two stops. In most cases, the acceleration at velocity 25 and acceleration at velocity 35, the feedback and acceleration obtained is a large gap.
Finally, I think, in fact, there is also excellent power output performance of 1.5t+ cvt, and I am looking forward to the expectations of 2.0t. If you want to run high speed + not bad money, buying a crown of 2.0t is also very suitable. It's just a personal feeling. "If you can borrow 10at on rdx, it's even better."
Suspension and NVH have been the crown's biggest highlights.
Earliest, the impression that this flagship SUV could change Honda has always been NVH, and the truth is true. At that time, when selling the 9 generation agreement, the crown was not only a domestic Honda model. The quietest quiet, thoroughly tested highlander and sharp large Suvis.
In the actual test drive, the mid-term change after the crown is still "your uncle is your grandfather" level, whether it is outside sounds or tire noise is very good, if it is a lot of lines and many people need to be configured in static, and then in the dynamic to achieve horizontal performance, extremely excellent nvh level to ensure the advanced level of the crown. For example, when the speed is 80 km/ 110 km/h, the noise line at the rear can feel actually different – you have to find that feeling in the extravagant medium SUV, you have to find more than 400,000.
With excellent sound insulation is a comfortable suspension, thanks to the length of more than 4.8 meters, the width of 1.9 meters, the crown will inevitably become comfortable, but there are many technologies that can achieve this comfortable style, such as the rear seat. The filling is not very soft, but it is very suitable. At the same time, when the suspension is affected, it visibly enters the compartment and then slowly returns to its original position. So when you experience continuous bumps, the driver can be confident because the crown suspension doesn't emphasize comfort and neglect support.
It is worth mentioning that the Crown is the first to use Honda's new variable gears, rather than the steering system (VGR). The system has different steering styles depending on the working conditions, using this method and Civic using this feature. It's a car that may not feel like it, but it's a crown, a large car with a width of 1.94 meters. Knowing when it's low speed, it will give Crown a lot of flexibility. At this step, this set of steering can also adapt to the will of the driver, even such a large car, the driver will not be when the ramp or rapidly change the tense. If you think the crown is very good, don't underestimate the credit system.
conclusion:
There is no problem in calling the crown as "Honda's most important job" in the Chinese market, which can develop Lingpa family sedans for the Chinese market, which is also a high-quality luxury. As a result of the results of the test drive, the top of the 2020 crown is worth the mid-size SUVs. The biggest highlight is still comfort, but achieving the goal of "comfort". For the Honda ahead, it was a huge challenge. However, from the results, they succeeded. Even though this true medium SUV is in the medium-term changes in 2020, the price of the latest SUV products is still not lagging behind, which is proof of the effort.
