On December 16, GUANGC Honda officially launched a total of 6 versions, of which the CVT version guidance price of 142,900-166,900 yuan, but also the valuable launch of 129,900 MT exclusive version.
In the car segment, Guangqi Honda launched the A-class type after the B-class Accord, A+ class Lingpai and A0-class Fit, which filled the blank point of the sedan product line and further enhanced its competitiveness.
All along, Guangqi Honda has been a "blockbuster" professional household, and almost every car is a leader in the market segment, which makes everyone more full of expectations for the type. As the "sister car" of the Civic, can the type be counterattacked like Haoying?
Product strength, strong performance configuration conscience, hit the pain points of young people
When it comes to Honda, the first thing that comes to mind is engine technology, as the sister car of the "God Car" Civic, the type will naturally not be weak in power.
The car is fully equipped with Honda's famous 1.5T high-power VTEC engine, which can reach 134kW and 240N·m, which is in the leading position among competitors in the same class.
In this engine, Honda is proud of its VTEC technology, and it uses advanced technologies such as high-power turbochargers, high-rigidity crankshafts, and high-rigidity oil pans.
Matched with this is the CVT transmission, which integrates G-Design Shift technology, plus the powertrain Honda is equipped with a variety of main models, has been polished very well, and has withstood the test of the market.
In particular, today's Civic has abandoned the style of "Ghost Fire Boy" and begun to move in the direction of home, but the style has strengthened the characteristics of youth and sportsmanship.
The most typical is the launch of the MT manual exclusive version, so that many emotional users have liked. MT manual transmission takes into account the short stroke and high rigidity of the gear shift experience, to achieve the realm of human-vehicle integration, which is the pleasure that old drivers can experience.
At the same time, the CVT model also has two more sporty and personalized phantom night versions, the wheel hub adopts a blackened design, equipped with a bright black rear spoiler tail, exterior mirror cover, shark fin, door handle, elegant cool black style, further meet the user's desire for personalized styling.
For ultimate handling, the new car is equipped with 18-inch cutting wheels and sporty tires. The whole vehicle adopts low center of gravity design, more athletic potential, the chassis has been fine motion tuning, the use of low friction technology, lightweight high rigidity aluminum alloy subframe, shaping a solid movement of the chassis performance.
In terms of configuration, the type is both prominent in style and very conscientious. The specially tailored 12-speaker BOSE luxury sound system, as well as card keys, mobile phone wireless charging, interior mood lights and other details add to the sense of experience, while the 10.2-inch color TFT multi-function full LCD instrument and 9-inch color intelligent interconnect screen make the technology atmosphere very sufficient.
In terms of intelligence, Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, Honda SENSING safety super sense system, coupled with the Guangqi Honda APP, opened a new way of linking people and cars, whether it is safety or playability is the mainstream level in the industry.
In addition, under the new architecture and new benchmark, not only is the HMI design more concise, but the NVH is better and the experience is better. Moreover, thanks to the application of new structure aluminum alloy and high tension materials, the strength of the frame structure is improved, and the torsional rigidity is increased by 8% and the bending rigidity is increased by 13%. In addition, the whole series is equipped with 10 airbags, and passive safety is rare in the same level.
Brand power, cognate with north American Acura INTEGRA
Although the new model, the English name ISTEGRA, although it is a product of Honda's "two-car strategy" in China, as a new generation of Civic's "sister car", but inside Honda, INTEGRA is a legendary model with a history of 36 years, so the model is by no means a simple Chinese specialty product.
The INTEGRA name first appeared in 1985, when Honda released a model called "QUINT INTEGRA", positioned between the Accord and Civic, in three versions: three-door hatchback, four-door sedan, and five-door hatchback. Starting with the second-generation model introduced in 1989, its model name was officially changed to "INTEGRA".
(2nd Generation INTEGRA)
The third generation of INTEGRA lasted from 1993 to 2001, and began to strengthen the brand connotation of "the pleasure of driving", and launched the performance version OFTEGRA Type-R, which is Honda's second model after the NSX Type R to launch a TYPE R version, and also established THE INTEGRA's status.
The fourth generation of INTEGRA from 2001 to 2006 is regarded by riders as the "peak generation", in addition to the Type-R version, even the ordinary version of the family car has been modified into a performance car by the user. Subsequently, due to the shrinking of the coupe market, Honda announced the suspension of the INTEGRA series, but honda's loyal fans have continued to believe.
In 2021, INTEGRA was launched again by Honda after many years, and it is a type in the domestic market, while in North America it is Acura INTEGRA. Both cars are based on the eleventh generation Civic development, but acura INTEGRA is a five-door hatchback body structure. Therefore, INTEGRA's brand has a deep heritage, and it is from a famous family, but it is not well understood in China.
In the domestic market, the model in the product line of Guangqi Honda belongs to the A-class sedan, so it is the first to face the competition of several main A-class family sedan models of Toyota, Volkswagen and Nissan, of course, including its sister car Civic, after all, the boundary between the family car and the sports car is not so clear, and the increasingly young mainstream user base pays more attention to personalization and sports. On the other hand, the type is naturally also an important member of the sports car market, including Volkswagen Lingdu, Lynk & Co 03, Mazda 3 and so on.
Judging from the record of Civic's monthly sales of about 20,000 vehicles, it is naturally difficult to reach the order of magnitude of Corolla, Langyi, Xuanyi and other models, but the combination of Guangqi Honda's "type + Lingpai" is highly complementary, and the impact on the A-class car market is not small, whether it is radical or conservative, whether it is a family or a geek, you can choose the right model, so that Honda's fans will not flow out.
Car selection is recommended, and the technology version of 142,900 yuan is the most cost-effective
So, there are 6 versions of the model, which one is the most cost-effective? The following small series to give you an analysis.
First of all, to determine whether you choose manual or automatic, I believe that if you do not have a deep feeling for the manual transmission, or choose the automatic transmission of more people, after all, the manual transmission of the city congestion environment is very hard to drive, the driving technology requirements are high, so it is not recommended for ordinary users to buy.
Then, to determine whether you need the phantom night version, the technology version and the luxury version have a phantom night version, that is, add 7,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan on the basic model, respectively, to obtain a sporty appearance, which can be understood as "official reform", this choice does not choose to see their own preferences, the price is not expensive.
In the end, it is between the technology version, the deluxe version and the premium version. From the configuration point of view, the type is still relatively conscientious, the core configuration of 142,900 yuan of technology version is already very comprehensive, so this version of the model is the most cost-effective, so the focus is on recommending this version.
The deluxe version of 152,900 yuan is 10,000 yuan more expensive, adding some comfort features, such as: the steering wheel and seats have been upgraded from fabric to leather (the seat part is imitation leather), the main and co-pilot electric adjustments, the rear seats are proportionally reclined, the rear cup holder, the monochrome interior mood lights, etc. On the basis of the deluxe version, the top version of 166,900 adds 12-speaker BOSE audio, openable panoramic sunroof, rear parking radar, and wireless charging of front mobile phones. As for whether it is worth it or not, it is a matter of opinion.
