Since its launch, Alexand has been popular with those who have the elderly and the children below. In the past, the market sales performance was also relatively stable, and even sold better than the same odyssey for a while. However, consumers also have some deficiencies in it, in the various manufacturers began to pay attention to the MPV market environment, even if your early market performance is good, but also to update the product line in a timely manner, then the arrival of the new Ai Li Shen Rui · hybrid to change the old model those deficiencies?
01
What has changed about the new Alexand?
This new EliShenrui Hybrid is a mid-term revamp, but it still gives people a lot of freshness in terms of appearance. First of all, the new front face style can make the whole car have a significant improvement in the aura, regardless of whether it can meet your aesthetic standards, but its design elements are much richer than the new Odyssey Hybrid of the same door, and the body wheels and taillights have also been adjusted accordingly, and the effect is still good.
The interior of the old Ellissen-Rick Hybrid is indeed outdated in terms of design and materials, while the interior of the new model has been greatly adjusted, at least at first glance, it will look more comfortable. In addition, the internal texture has been significantly improved, most of the places in the car are wrapped in soft leather, and the car machine system is finally a little intelligent, no longer only used for Bluetooth music and reversing images.

Comfortable and efficient Dad 7-person car
The power system of the new Alexandre Hybrid is the same as that of the old model, and the i-MMD hybrid system is a combination of a 2.0-liter Atkinson engine + dual motors, which is also used in most of The domestic Honda hybrid models, and the system has a combined maximum power of 158kW. In terms of transmission, it is an E-CVT transmission, but the shift mechanism is replaced from the previous in-line type to a button type, and the SPORT mode is added after the S gear is cancelled.
In the case of sufficient power (generally the power is three or more), at this time, the driving texture of the whole car is undoubtedly the tram, the driving is quiet, and the power output is direct. In addition, the throttle pedal to the power output is very direct, there is no vacancy. In addition, the body design of the Alexand gives the front window a good sense of view, so even if you are driving it for the first time, there will be no pressure.
In the low-speed acceleration overtaking, according to its hybrid working principle, the engine and the motor at the same time intervened into the hybrid mode, the engine as long as it is to drive the generator, and then the generator then feeds the power to the drive motor, so the output is still based on the drive motor, this process is somewhat similar to the extended range electric vehicle, so the engine will not have any abrupt performance.
The horsepower of the driving motor pulls the EliShenri hybrid just right, and there is no lack of force and there is no acceleration performance of explosion. If the driving mode is adjusted to sport, the acceleration performance of the whole car will be increased by about 10%, but the problem engine noise will also enter the drama, but it can be used at high speed. If it is a daily high-speed cruise, the personal speed exceeds 90km/h or so, at this time the power system will enter the direct drive mode, the engine will directly drive the wheels at this time, and the battery and the drive motor will not work.
However, the dads who buy this kind of car are pursuing a comfortable and smooth driving experience, and the smoothness of EliShenrui Hybrid can naturally meet the needs of most dads. Even when the engine is about to intervene when the power is low, the whole movement and noise are relatively small. In addition, the new EliShenrui hybrid added the energy recovery paddle, through the steering wheel paddle to control the intensity of energy recovery, measured in the strongest energy recovery state, the resulting drag feeling is more obvious, but will not affect the car passenger riding experience too much, if this function is better mastered, through the paddle shift to achieve an early deceleration effect, reduce the frequency of braking.
The chassis configuration has not changed, because the low platform + trunk negative layer design, it is difficult to make a big change in this position, so the old Ellison Hybrid filter will look thinner to people. Coming to the new model, the small editor of the shock filter feels that although it encounters some larger speed bumps, the impact can still be felt, but I think the shock absorber is working, at least the comfort is about 10% higher than the old model, I guess it is a little effort in the bushing?
Although the suspension feels stiff, one of the advantages is that the lateral support is relatively sufficient. In addition, its steering feel is more direct and tight, even if it is an MPV, it must inherit the sense of control that Honda should have, and the body response is relatively fast, so this adjustment is suitable for running mountains, and even if it is a daily driving corner, your speed can give you enough confidence.
The new EliShenrui Hybrid manufacturer emphasizes that it is equipped with double-layer soundproof glass in the front, middle and rear three rows of windows, and also uses noise-canceling wheels, which can be seen that manufacturers are bound to work hard to improve NVH. In the daily cruise, you can indeed feel the good effect of these upgrades, wind noise and engine noise are improved compared to the old model, but high-speed driving or encounters not asphalt pavement, road noise is still very Honda.
03
Fuel consumption test
Consumers buy hybrid models, its fuel consumption performance will be their focus, so what is the fuel consumption performance of the 7-seat daddy car Ofex Hybrid?
Due to the proximity of holidays, the test involves more congested roads, with an average speed of 28km/h and a test mileage of 123.1km. The apparent fuel consumption was 6.1L/100km, and the second refueling volume was 8.57L, and the result of the fuel consumption test was calculated to be 6.8L/100km. Although this data is not completely close to the apparent fuel consumption, but for a 7-seater dad car, this result has been quite good, and the whole test did not use the energy recovery paddle, if you are an old driver, know how to use the paddle at the right time to achieve energy recovery, I believe this fuel consumption score can be lower.
04
0-100km/h acceleration test
During the test, the vehicle has about six blocks of power, turn the vehicle SPORT mode on and off the body stability control system. When starting, the body posture is very stable, and the whole acceleration process has a smooth and powerful texture like a tram, but the engine noise is also relatively large. The measured 9.14 seconds of acceleration is OK.
05
Brake test
When braking at full force, the body has a more obvious nod, but for the MPV, the posture is actually normal, not particularly exaggerated. It is worth noting that the brake stroke of Eli Gentry Hybrid is relatively long, so it will be more suitable for those friends who are accustomed to pure fuel vehicles every day, but the original Yokohama dB series tire grip is more general, and I personally suggest that the next generation of models can make a fuss from the tire brand and size.
06
Noise test
As mentioned earlier, AliSimn Rhizmith added double-layer soundproof glass to the whole vehicle, and the actual experience did have some improvements in the mute effect. As long as the battery is sufficient, the cockpit is still quite quiet. However, when driving at high speeds, the road noise is still the familiar Honda smell.

Summary of the full text
Some people say that the new Ellison Hybrid and the new Odyssey Hybrid should be chosen? I think that in addition to the two-car shape, the starting price of the Alexandre Hybrid can basically go to the mid-matching model of the Odyssey Hybrid, but the configuration may be a little more than the standard of the Alexandre Hybrid. Therefore, the choice of configuration will also affect the choice of consumers for these two cars, of course, it also depends on the number of local two service outlets to make a decision.
Looking back at the EliShenrui hybrid itself, the place to change is indeed the place where the old model does not perform well, especially after adding double-layer soundproof glass, sound insulation is good, but under this kind of body, it is impossible to achieve 100% perfection. However, thanks to its excellent riding experience, low fuel consumption performance and high space utilization, EliShenrui Hybrid is also expected to be the MPV of choice for a class of dads.
