Among the traditional joint venture A-class cars, there were many products that focused on sports and performance, and they are still talked about by fans today. But with most models in the same class switching to the "comfort zone", there seems to be not much of a traditional joint venture A-class that really focuses on youthful and sporty characteristics. The Guangqi Honda model, which has just been officially listed, can be said to be a member of the high hopes of many young consumers. The Honda model is equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine and retains a manual transmission model. A total of 6 models of the new car are available, and the official price is 129,900-166,900 yuan.
With 1.5T high power as standard, 182 hp is the main highlight?
The Honda Model is equipped with a high-power version of the 1.5T engine with a maximum horsepower of 182Ps and a maximum torque of 240N·m, which matches the CVT transmission and retains a 6MT model. Talking about the recently updated 1.5T power, it is impossible not to mention the Volkswagen Sagittarius, which has been released in the medium term. In addition to the conventional 1.2T and 1.4T engines, the mid-term sagittarius sagittarius will also be equipped with an EA211 EVO engine, and its maximum horsepower is expected to reach 160Ps. The transmission is expected to continue the 7-speed dry dual-clutch match, either in the layout of the models on sale, or some manual transmission options will be retained on the low-power version.
Volkswagen Sagittarius, as a veteran high-quality sports joint venture A-class car, on the basis of the mid-term redesign, the new Sagitar has a larger size and a more complex texture of the mid-mesh structure. The overall design is more powerful, but it also appears more stable, and it is still easy to identify the identity of its Volkswagen model at a glance. The Honda style retains the design elements of the slipback, and the appearance of the whole vehicle is very restrained in the use of chrome trim parts, trying to highlight the sense of sport through black elements. Including the exhaust of the bilateral double, as well as the high-gloss black tail, etc., all of them have put a lot of effort into the details of the movement.
In addition to power /design/predictable driving pleasure, in fact, the biggest highlight on the Honda model should be the addition of HONDA Connet 3.0, given that in the current similar models, Volkswagen is still using MIB, Toyota's relatively conservative, model in voice control / online resources / reaction speed / speed, is better than most mainstream models. So, instead of just staring at the traditional immutable hardware part, it doesn't mean too much.
MT does not pull the threshold, automatic low gear is enough
Honda has brought a total of 6 models, divided according to the configuration, in addition to the lowest manual exclusive version, followed by the automatic version of the technology version, luxury version, premium version. Among them, the technology version and the deluxe version each provide a magic night model. Mainly in the appearance of the difference, coupled with the configuration of minor adjustments, etc., the phantom night model and the corresponding ordinary version of the model, to be 5000-7000 yuan range.
Talking about the lowest price of the manual transmission model, the official guidance price of 129,900 yuan retains the manual gear match for the high-power version of the 1.5T engine, which is also a relatively rare collocation in the current model of the same level. More joint venture products of the same type, in terms of manual transmission, are mainly matched to low-power systems, and in this way to lower the price threshold, the practical significance is not great. In addition to the consistent power system, the manual exclusive version of the Honda model is also the same for passive safety. Including LED headlights, 9-inch central control screen, etc., are also equipped. Where the owner needs DIY, mainly around the audio, reversing radar + image, and the leather in the car and so on.
The entry-level model CVT technology version of the automatic transmission has a guidance price of 142,900 yuan. In addition to the transmission changes, driver assistance features such as parallel assist, lane departure warning, active braking, etc., are supplemented, and full-speed adaptive cruise functions are provided. In terms of comfort, the rear air outlet, 8-speaker sound, and 10.2-inch full LCD meter and keyless entry have been added, and the completion of the model has been quite good. As for the deluxe version with another 10,000 yuan upgrade, it is mainly to increase the rim to 17 inches, and add leather seats, steering wheels, front electric adjustment and other functions.
Finally, the Premium Edition also enjoys an 18-inch rim, the only open-view sunroof in the entire car series, a 12-speaker BOSE speaker, and much more. However, for this, you need to pay an additional 14,000 yuan on the basis of the deluxe version.
Summary: A more sporty design, and an uncompromising powertrain, are the two main product forces that honda style tries to catch up with. Among them, the only manual transmission model can be called the "only seedling" in the same type of joint venture products, which is used to cover the needs of a relatively niche. The standard configuration, especially the completeness of the active and passive safety configuration, makes the Honda type have a strong household "all-round" attribute on the automatic entry model.
