A few days ago, Dongfeng Honda's medium-sized MPV model - the new Alishen officially launched. The new car launched 4 models, and the official guidance price is 27.98-33.18 million yuan. It is reported that the new car continues the shape of the current model, and has been upgraded more commercially and blackened in appearance, while the new interior is more classy and optimized in configuration.
The new Dongfeng Honda Alexandre on the market is a mid-term revamp, which has been greatly upgraded in appearance and interior compared to the current model, and has been blackened and more business-oriented in details.
Among them, the shape of the entire front face is thicker, the front grille is replaced by a larger size matrix black piano sprayed middle net, and the chrome trim strip above and the LED headlights are integrated, which visually plays a role in widening the body. In addition, the headlights group also increases the effect of the flowing water turn signal.
The side of the body continues the current shape, which is also the body structure of the traditional MPV, but the new multi-spoke style wheels are replaced. With a length, width and height of 4951mm, 1842mm and 1711mm, and a wheelbase of 2900mm, it is a standard medium-sized MPV.
The overall shape of the rear has become more stable, with the change in the tail light group being the most obvious, and the new blackened design with the through-channel chrome trim is also more exquisite. At the same time, details such as fenders, D-pillars and plate frames have also been fine-tuned. In addition, the new car is equipped with an electric tailgate with induction opening.
In terms of interior, the new Ai lishen's new center console looks more classy and youthful, which also benefits from the new red and black interior color scheme. Inside, it features a 7-inch combination meter, an upgraded suspended 10-inch central control screen, and integrated Honda CONNECT 3.0 system, as well as a new push-button shift mechanism and the addition of wireless charging.
In terms of space, the new Alexand has not only upgraded the seats, but also the spacious driving space inside has always been the advantage of the car. The main car is equipped with its own oversized armrests, which can even serve as a dining table or desk, while the front row also eliminates the central passage.
The second row of seats still supports a wide range of adjustment functions, maintains a high level of comfort, and the armrests close to the aisle can still be removed separately. In addition, the third row of seats also has a good performance, which can meet the needs of long-distance rides, and the "fishing stool" mode has also been retained.
In terms of power, the new Alexand is equipped with Honda's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system, which is composed of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine + electric motor + lithium battery pack + E-CVT transmission, the comprehensive power of the system is 158kW (215Ps), and the WLTC 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.17L. In addition, the new car also features separate suspension systems for the front McPherson and rear multi-link types.
Market analysis of the new Dongfeng Honda Alishen:
Although it is only a mid-term revamp, after the second major overhaul, the product power of the new Alexand is still very comprehensive, especially in terms of space and power performance, which is significantly stronger than other household MPV models of the same level, but the business MPV market is still dominated by the Buick GL8.
In its class, the core advantages of Alexand are mainly in terms of practicality and convenience, such as its low threshold, the design of the second row of ultra-long range slide rails and the design of the third row of seats folding into the floor as a whole. At the same time, i-MMD can also bring good performance and low fuel consumption, which are also the focus of consumers. Combined with this more competitive price, Alexon still has a fairly strong attraction and is worth buying.
