Unconsciously, the year has entered the end, and as soon as the year-end award arrives, it begins to plan for a new car. However, with the change of family structure or the need for business travel, more and more people are beginning to find that conventional cars and SUVs are gradually unable to meet their diverse scene needs. As a result, unconsciously, MPV models have become the darling of the market.
A few years ago, the unattended MPV market has become a crowd of people to rob the food, many manufacturers began to pile up, not only a number of classic models that need to be mentioned at an increased price, such as million-level Alpha, LM, etc., but also a large number of hot rookies, such as Senna, Weiran and so on.
But I have to say that Honda can be described as quite far-sighted, as early as ten years ago, it has begun to lay out the MPV market. In 2012, AliShen was officially introduced into the country for mass production, and the price has always maintained the mainstream range that can be accepted by domestic users, high-end and practical coexist, known as the 300,000-level most worthy MPV.
On December 30th, the new Alexand is coming. This 300,000-level god-sealing MPV will complete the evolution of the four senses with a cross-level attitude, continue to enhance product competitiveness, and continue to set a benchmark for the MPV market of the same level.
A tough appearance that evolves for the aura
The front face of the new Alexand is still a more bold movement surrounded by shape, and the blackened middle net with a large through-type grille enhances the overall sense of style and toughness, and has a more business feeling on the basis of ensuring the appearance. The side of the body is roughly the same as the current model, and the whole series adopts luxurious 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, through radial multiple penetrating spokes, reflecting a sense of strength and quality. In the rear part of the car, the newly designed LED smoked black combination taillights are matched with through-type chrome trim strips to make the entire tail more three-dimensional and more textured.
Exquisite interiors that have evolved for taste
The interior of the new Alexand has been greatly improved compared to the current model.
First of all, the color, while continuing to use the main base color, the brown of the current model is changed to the Burgundy red color, and at the same time, the new white interior color is added, which changes the old-fashioned autumn and has a little more vitality. The second is the central control dashboard, the original 3.5-inch dashboard was upgraded to a 7-inch TFT LCD screen, and the 8-inch central control screen was upgraded to a 10.1-inch floating large screen, which greatly improved the sense of science and technology. Finally, the details are changed, such as adding multiple storage spaces, upgrading the original gear lever to a shift button, and adding wireless charging of mobile phones to make driving more comfortable.
As for the space part, the new Alexand is 4951/1842/1711mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which is consistent with the current model, and the interior space is spacious and flexible.
Intelligent technology that evolves for comfort
In terms of configuration, the new Alexand has been improved in the two parts of intelligence and comfort with comfort as the core.
In the intelligent part, the new Alexand is equipped with Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, which supports multiple functions such as AI intelligent assistant, car-home interconnection, convenient electronic payment, and OTA. For example, through the AI intelligent assistant, you can achieve accurate intelligent navigation, music, weather retrieval, etc.; through the built-in Tmall genie, you can control the smart home at the car machine end; through the smart phone, users can also find the location of the vehicle in the parking lot, effectively helping users solve the problem of "car difficulty".
The comfort part, the new Alexand has added a very practical kick induction to open the tailgate, when you are shopping with both hands full of things, just use your feet to gently sweep, you can open the trunk; magic induction door can be reserved to lock the door, the electric tailgate in the open state as long as you press the lock door button, close the last door can automatically lock the door. For passengers in the second row, the new Alexand has added a type-C interface and seat leg rests to take the ride to the next level.
A convenient application for all to enjoy evolution
Although our requirements for MPV power performance are not high, we are still very demanding for driving experience and comprehensive fuel consumption.
The new Ellison series is equipped with Honda's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle engine + E-CVT transmission, with a combined maximum power of 158kW, a comprehensive fuel consumption of only 6.17L (WLTC test standard) per 100 kilometers, and a cruising range of up to 900km.
