If you mention the Honda Accord, I believe most people are very familiar with it, after all, it is the top three in the Japanese system. However, not every honda car is a hot seller, and the Yingshipai, which is also a B-class car, is not as smooth as the Accord, and its ups and downs can also be seen from previous sales. Even so, Dongfeng Honda still did not give up on it, and with the launch of the new Yingshipai, sales finally exceeded 10,000 units, reaching 10,054 units in November. As a sister model of accord, is the Yingshipai worth starting? Today we will explain its new model in detail.
Appearance interpretation: reproduction of family design
Since the Yingshipai rebrand, its appearance has been basically the same as that of accord, and the appearance that was different from the accord earlier is no longer there. The front face is very familiar, the middle net is the same as the Accord, using a thick chrome decorative strip connected between the headlights. The size of the mesh is relatively small, and the air intake is divided into upper and lower sections, which is different from the Accord of the upper and lower integrated grilles.
The shape of the headlights is basically the same, and the slender outline lowers the visual effect of the front face, forming a front face with a strong sense of movement. The body, like the Accord, adopts a slip-on design, which is a sporty shape that is still more attractive to young people.
In terms of body size, the new model has a length, width and height of 4924/1862/1449mm, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. The biggest difference between the rear of the car and the Accord is the taillights, the taillights of the Accord are more sharp, and the taillights of the Yingshipai look softer.
Interior interpretation: simple and stylish style
The interior of Yingshipai still continues the design of the previous model, the overall adjustment is not large, as an annual remodeled product, the cost is still very tight by the manufacturer. The simple design style has been recognized by consumers, and although the overall interior is not new, it is still more attractive. The suspension central control screen has been raised to 10.25 inches, the display effect is decent, and the operation fluency of the Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system is still remarkable. However, the central control screen buttons are concentrated on the left side of the screen, and the buttons are also touch-type operation, and the arrangement is relatively tight, and the probability of misoperation when using is relatively high.
Space interpretation: the rear legroom is surplus
The new Yingshipai wheelbase is 2830mm, which is the same as the Accord wheelbase, and the overall spatial performance is still remarkable. Our experiencer is 183cm tall, the front seat is adjusted, the head remains about 3 fingers, the rear head is a bit compact, only about 1 finger is left, the leg space is more abundant, and there is still room for 2 fists. As a "space magician" Honda, the space performance of this Yingshipai has been recognized by the market, but it is affected by the sneaky back body, and the rear head is somewhat depressed.
Power interpretation: the main promotion of hybrid models
In terms of power, the new car provides two power specifications, namely 1.5T fuel version and 2.0L hybrid version, taking the sharp hybrid version of the current fire as an example, the maximum power of the engine is 107kW, the maximum torque is 175N·m, the total power of the motor is 135kW, and the total torque of the motor is 315N·m. The actual experience of the throttle adjustment is biased towards sensitivity, so when speeding up, the body's push back feeling is very strong, and the power response is positive.
In fact, the biggest feature of The Insepai's powertrain is fuel economy, and its NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption can reach as low as 4.2L/100km. For a B-class car, the fuel consumption performance of Yingshipai is very obvious compared to other competitors.
Editor's Hot Review:
The annual revamp is another B-class car power for the young market, and since the Insigna is close to the Accord, its sales have not changed too significantly. However, this monthly sales breakthrough of 10,000 units may be a good start, as one of the parts of Honda's two-car strategy, will you choose Yingshipai or Accord?
