With the gradual deepening of the domestic "babybirth" policy, the trend of "inner volume" of joint venture MPV seems to be becoming more and more severe. After all, in the early years, the first joint venture MPV that people could think of was nothing more than the Buick GL8 and honda odyssey/Alexon. But nowadays, people can think of a large number of high-quality products such as Volkswagen Weiran, Toyota Xena, Hyundai Kustu and Kia Kahua. Even, as the "predecessor" in this field, Honda Odyssey / Alexand has ushered in a mid-term redesign and upgrade in order to cope with this "inner volume" trend. Moreover, a few days ago, some netizens gave a set of new Ai Lishen's no-fake spy photos. So, after the change, has the competitive strength of AliShen been improved? Today, let's take this opportunity to explore first.
Although it is only a mid-term redesign, the appearance adjustment of the new Alexand is still relatively obvious. Its front face will replace the dot-moment intake grille, and the overall volume of its grille will become larger; coupled with the two thicker chrome trim strips on the top and bottom, it will not only look more atmospheric, but also have a lot of delicate ingredients. In addition, the full LED headlamps and more sharp front surround enhance the youthful tonality of the new Alexand front face.
On the side of the car, as with most mid-term revamped models, the side face of the new Alexand has not been adjusted too much. The new car will continue to use a slender but fluid shape layout, but the new chrome decoration of the doorknobs will further echo its delicate properties. According to the declaration information, the length, width and height of the new Alexand are 4951/1842/1711mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. Compared to the current version, neither the three circumference nor the wheelbase has been adjusted.
In the rear part of the car, the new Alexand replaced the taillight style. The newly enabled taillights are wrapped in a blackened enclosure and have an angular structure. In addition, the originally sunken chrome has been transformed into an uplifted and penetrating layout, which, combined with a more holistic rear enveloping shape, makes it more layered and echoes the sharpness of the front face.
Moving into the car, the interior design of the new Alexand was changed to a more regular T-shaped structure. Moreover, the newly enabled floating central control screen also makes it reveal more scientific and technological elements. The two-color stitched interior tone can also further sublimate the high-end texture. In addition, it is reported that the new Alexand's car engine system will be upgraded to the Honda Connect 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system.
As for the power level, according to the declaration information, the new Alexand will continue to use the i-MMD hybrid system composed of a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle naturally aspirated engine + electric motor + E-CVT transmission with a combined maximum power of 215 horsepower.
Overall, perhaps the size has not been adjusted to make many consumers feel a little disappointed; but its appearance and interior design, but also have a certain degree of surprise. If its configuration and price can also bring surprises, then the strength of the new Alexand should still have a relatively large upgrade, right?
