With the continuous development of the times, the post-90s generation, which was once regarded as "non-mainstream", has gradually become the main consumer of automobiles. Different from their parents, their pursuit of the car has also changed from "large space comfort" to "good opening and high configuration", of which in the most popular 150,000 yuan level, many people are comparing the two cars of Dongfeng Honda Civic and Lynk & Co 03.
The reason is very simple, because these two cars have the advantages of strong power and high configuration, which are very in line with the needs of young consumers, so the question is, who is more worth buying?
To this end, the professor specially selected the 240TURBO burning version of the Dongfeng Honda Civic 2022 model with a guidance price of 149,900 yuan and the Lynk & Co 03 2.0TD Jin Plus with a guidance price of 150,800 yuan for in-depth comparison, with the purpose of bringing the most authentic car purchase suggestions to the majority of readers.
For the majority of consumers, the most noteworthy of these two positioning sports cars is naturally the power aspect. Among them, the 11th generation Of civic is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine as standard, but it is divided into two adjustments, high and low power, and the maximum power of the 240TURBO model reaches 182 horsepower and the maximum torque is 240N·m, matching the CVT gearbox.
The Lynk & Co 03 is available in different versions with two engines, the 1.5T three-cylinder and the 2.0T four-cylinder engine, of which the 2.0TD model has a maximum power of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 N·m, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
In contrast, it is not difficult to find that in the same price range, the Lynk & Co 03 equipped with a 2.0T engine has more advantages in terms of parameters, and thanks to the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, its official 100-kilometer acceleration time is only 7.4 seconds, which will have a good experience in scenarios such as overtaking and high-speed driving.
However, although the power data of Lynk & Co 03 is high, it is not false at all on accelerating the 11th generation of Civic 1.5T, and it is appropriate to break within 1008 seconds. When the professor compared the two cars, although both cars used the four-wheel independent suspension combination of the front McPherson rear multi-link, this generation of Civic has become more comfortable, but the bottom is still there, and the roll in the corners and the feel of the steering are significantly better than the Lynk & Co 03.
In addition to power, configuration and size are also the parts that many young people care about when buying a car, first of all, in terms of appearance, both cars are equipped with 17-inch wheels, and the tire specifications are 215/50 R17. However, in the professor's view, although the Lynk & Co 03 has been launched for many years, its appearance still needs time to adapt, and the Civic equipped with a blackout kit obviously looks more fashionable and dynamic.
And interestingly, the replacement Civic has also regained its advantages in terms of size, its length and wheelbase have fully surpassed the Lynk & Co 03, and it has more advantages in terms of spatial performance, and the lower body height also makes it look like a sports coupe.
The same is true for the interior, as a global model, Civic is obviously more mature and durable in terms of design techniques, and the sense of quality is also stronger. As a Chinese brand model, the Lynk & Co 03 is more skilled in materials and configurations.
In the key part of the car machine, the Civic is equipped with a 9-inch touch screen, and the Lynk & Co 03 uses a 10.2-inch large screen, which not only provides more humanized online navigation, multimedia playback, voice recognition and other functions, but also has a better display effect and response speed, which is very in line with the current young consumers' car habits, which is also the general advantage of the current Chinese brand models.
In terms of other configurations, the advantages of the Lynk & Co 03 continue to be highlighted, and functions such as panoramic sunroof and seat power adjustment are provided. However, it is worth noting that Lynk & Co 03 is relatively weak in terms of security configuration.
In contrast, Civic has more knee airbags, active braking systems, adaptive cruise systems, lane keeping and deviation warnings, etc., even if it is a novice to the road can also be safely guaranteed, which shows Honda's trade-off as a global car company.
Of course, the car as a commodity, the price and cost of the car is naturally also the key, first of all, in terms of the price of the two cars, it is not difficult to see that the Civic has a more affordable pricing, and the whole series is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine.
In contrast, the price of the Lynk & Co 03 is not only higher, but the entry-level model is equipped with only a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, while the 2.0T four-cylinder is from 150,800 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that both cars are currently due to chip shortages and other issues, there is basically no preferential treatment in the terminal market, compared with the price of Civic is more affordable.
For young consumers, in addition to the price, the cost of the car in the later stage cannot be ignored. There is no doubt that the Honda Civic, as a Japanese car, continues the advantages of fuel economy and cheap maintenance.
In contrast, the performance of the Lynk & Co 03 is more like a luxury brand model, whether it is close to a small maintenance price of thousands of yuan or the need to refuel No. 95 gasoline, which gives people a great economic burden, and in today's rising oil prices, minutes are "affordable to afford to raise".
Through a comparison, it is not difficult to see that the Honda Civic will be the one that is more in line with young consumers among the two cars, because it has a good enough driving experience and economic costs that are close to the people, and there is a good retention rate, which are the reasons to buy it.
As for Lynk & Co 03? It is more suitable for consumers who have higher demand for configuration and power, and pursue individuality, and are not sensitive to the cost of late-stage car use.
