On December 16, Guangqi Honda's new model INTEGRA model ushered in the official launch, a total of 6 models were launched, priced at 129,900-166,900 yuan. The whole series is equipped with 240TURBO 1.5T power as standard, and retains a lot of heart-desired manual transmission, and is equipped with BOSE audio, card car keys and other configurations, focusing on youth, sports and fashion.
Maybe the name of the type is still a little strange to you, but to say that it is the brother model of the Civic in Guangqi Honda, you will probably know a little bit. It was first born in 1985 as a sport car, and after a successful four-generation model, it is now officially returning as the fifth generation. In the past two years, we have seen a lot of new cars aimed at sports and performance, which is not only a good thing for fans, but also shows that Chinese consumers have begun to diversify from a single demand for living in the family.
Keeping the manual transmission is the biggest surprise
Compared with the Civic, the styling is more concise and aggressive in terms of shape, and the body line of the whole car highlights the low center of gravity and wide wheel track design, creating a visual impact of the low-lying movement of the coupe. The front face uses sharp three-pupil LED headlights and blade-type LED taillights, stretched double waistline through the body, "L" type taillights have high recognition, and are equipped with tail diffusers and bilateral double exhaust.
In addition, the new car's emerald blue car color is a limited car color of the exclusive Magic Night series, with a total age of 2,000 units, the effect is absolutely outstanding, and the Magic Night model also uses bright black tails, exterior mirror covers, shark fins, door handles and black design wheels, which is very cool.
Inheriting the sporty DNA of the legendary MODEL INTEGRA, the all-new model is built to the highest level using the new architecture of the latest Honda Architecture. The entire series is equipped with the L15C series 1.5T turbocharged VTEC engine, which adopts advanced technologies such as high-power turbochargers, high-rigidity crankshafts, and high-rigidity oil pans, with a maximum power of 134kW, a peak torque of 240Nm, and Honda's iconic VTEC technology on the exhaust side. The matching optimized CVT transmission, with the integrated G-Design Shift technology, can be said to fully meet the young people's desire for sport and performance.
But more importantly, under the 1.5T+ CVT version, which also started at 142,900, the Civic is two low-power 180TURBO CVT models, while the model is a 129,900-strong manual transmission exclusive MT version, which not only does not shrink in power, but also retains the manual gear that can play the most driving pleasure. No more, no less, this manual transmission model is enough, if not, it can not appease the manual transmission fans, but also appears to be not grounded enough, too much and not so large an audience, so symbolically come to one, just right.
Intelligent configuration comes last
The new car is equipped with a 10.2-inch color TFT multi-function full LCD instrument and a 9-inch color intelligent interconnect screen system in the car, equipped with a full-featured Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system and a new HMI design, integrating advanced functions such as AI intelligent voice assistant, car home interconnection, mobile phone remote control, OTA online upgrade and so on. With the "Guangqi Honda APP", the type can realize the digital key function, let the mobile phone become the key, complete a series of operations such as car search (flashing lights, honking), starting the engine, opening and closing doors and windows, door switch locks, etc., and can also wake up the Tmall genie through the car home interconnection function, realize the two-way interconnection of vehicles and smart homes, and even order milk tea and coffee for you.
The Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system is also no less, equipped with a monocular wide-angle camera, which can achieve longer distances and more accurate identification. TJA traffic congestion assist system and ACC active cruise control system, can achieve full speed domain steering assistance, greatly reducing daily driving fatigue; the whole series of standard ACL active steering lighting system, can be with the turn signal and steering wheel to illuminate the inner road, to ensure driving vision; ADB adaptive high beam system, according to the vehicle position in the front field of vision automatically switch high beam lights, not only can reduce the light interference to other road users, but also can expand the lighting range, to ensure a clear field of vision.
Obviously, this is another honda's dual-vehicle strategy in the domestic market, and the joint venture sports compact sedan of about 150,000 is no longer the only one in the Civic. We can see from the price that the range of the Broad Type is basically the same as that of the 2022 East Ben Civic, but because of the configuration, the maximum price is 3,000 yuan higher, and there are more 18-inch wheels, Bose 12 speaker sound, automatic induction wipers, co-pilot electric adjustment and other configurations.
The new structure continues to inherit the gene of the movement
In the 1980s, countless sports cars and sports cars emerged, which was the existence of aesthetics, sports and performance equipment that young people at that time most longed for. Honda responded to their desires, creating countless Honda iron fans of the "Dream Car" - INTEGRA, VTEC engine, Type-R, champion's voice, pioneer king... Each label makes the fans' faith DNA surge violently.
And the pioneer young people of each era have unlimited vitality, unlimited imagination, unlimited desire, and a sports car is their pursuit of faith. Now, we have come to a new era of informatization, intelligence and youth, and young people at this time have put forward more requirements for the sports car in their minds.
Therefore, the type redefines Honda's "sport" label, "type" is handsome, personality, "grid" is style, taste. So, we saw the Honda CONNECT intelligent guidance interconnection system, the Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system, and the soon-to-be-lonely manual transmission. Such a type of personality, it is difficult to say that it is not attractive.
The addition of the new model further strengthens the matrix of Guangqi Honda sedans, and together with Accord, Lingpai and Fit, covers the whole market segment from A0-class, A-class, A+-class and B-class sedans, complements and coordinates development, and jointly enhances the competitiveness of the sedan matrix. As a new strategic mid-level car of Guangqi Honda, the new model will be used as a new starting point for strategy, opening the era of Guangben's new car-making.
