In the domestic MPV market, Buick GL8 has always been a magical existence, and the car has dominated the domestic MPV market for many years. But in fact, the reason why the Buick GL8 is selling very hot is largely in the business field, and in the field of home MPV, more people will still choose GAC-Honda Odyssey. Compared with the Buick GL8, the price of Odyssey is more affordable, the comfort and cost of the car are more in line with the family, and it has become the preferred model for domestic second-child families. With the recent mid-term redesign of the Odyssey, this model has a more stylish appearance and greater competitiveness. Today we will choose the most suitable model for you from the perspective of "car purchase guide".
The 2022 GUANGQI Honda Odyssey has launched a total of 7 models, and the official price range is 235,800-35.48 million yuan. The powertrain is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine + electric hybrid system composed of an electric motor. Next, we will recommend which model has the best price performance for you according to the configuration differences between models.
First, a brief description of the model
As a mid-term redesign, the new Odyssey is very obvious in the upgrade part of the appearance, especially the front face part, and the shadow of the old model is completely invisible. Among them, the new car is re-equipped with a larger banner grille, the shape is integrated with the eyebrows of the LED headlight group on both sides, with chrome decorative design, the overall visual look is more graded. In addition, the front face of the new car has also become thicker, and the front visual appearance is more like an SUV model.
As for the side part, the overall proportion of the new car has not changed, still maintaining the previous classic waistline design, but the new car has been equipped with a new style of wheel rim, at the same time, the decoration on the A and D pillars has also been cancelled, with electric sliding doors, making it more convenient for rear passengers to get on and off. In addition, the high-end model is also equipped with a gesture sliding door control. The biggest change in the tail comes from the taillights, the new style of design becomes deeper after lighting, and the taillights are connected by a chrome trim in the middle, and the entire tail looks well recognizable.
Rim part, the 2022 GUANGQI Honda Odyssey offers at least 2 rim styles. Among them, the secondary top and top models are equipped with an 18-inch rim, and the rim adopts a two-color thin strip spoke design, which looks very dynamic visually, and the specific size is 225/50 R18. The entry-level and mid-range models are equipped with a 17-inch rim, and since the model has not yet arrived at the store, the actual style cannot be known, and the rim size is 215/60 R17.
In terms of body color, the 2022 GAC Honda Odyssey series provides 6 kinds of body colors to choose from, namely: Greenland White, Aurora Blue, Polar Night Quicksilver, Streamer Purple, Starry Sky Blue, And Star Moon White. In addition to the entry-level model, the entire range is available in three interior colors: black, black/ivory, and black/brown. In general, the 2022 GAC Honda Odyssey has a relatively large variety of exterior colors and a large choice.
In terms of interior, the new car also adopts a new center console design, compared with the previous, the newly added wood grain trim makes the interior look more warm, and the style is more in line with the positioning of the home MPV. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a floating central control screen, and the latest Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system is built-in, which is more powerful and supports intelligent operations such as remote control and electronic payment. The instrument interface has also adopted a new design, and the combined display function looks very innovative. The previous gear lever has also become a button layout, which not only saves space, but also looks more classy. In addition, the new car has further enhanced the storage function, and the practicality of the whole vehicle is more comprehensive.
As for the rear seats that consumers are most concerned about, they still maintain a luxurious and comfortable riding experience, and the second row of seats is also perfected in some details compared to before, the central armrests, aviation-grade headrests, leg rests and leather seats, coupled with seat heating, electric adjustment and small table panels, all of which make the new Odyssey more attractive and more comfortable to use.
In terms of power, the 2022 GAC Honda Odyssey is equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine + motor composed of oil-electric hybrid system, of which the maximum power of the engine is 146 hp, the peak torque is 175 Nm, the comprehensive maximum power is 215 hp, and the transmission system is matched with the E-CVT stepless gearbox.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
The overall configuration of the 2022 GAC Honda Odyssey entry-level model is not high. First of all, the car has a certain difference in appearance and configuration from other models, although the car is equipped with LED headlights and electric exterior mirrors. However, the entry-level model still lacks a sunroof, electric trunk, etc., which has become the biggest difference in appearance from other models.
The difference in internal configuration is more obvious, the entry model is equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument, steering wheel four-way adjustment, automatic air conditioning and front /rear central armrests, etc., but in many other conventional configurations are not satisfactory, first of all, the entry model uses a plastic steering wheel, the seat is also fabric fabric, and the overall gap is larger than that of the leather steering wheel and leather seats of other configuration models. In addition, the multi-function steering wheel, the 10.1-inch suspension central control screen and the latest intelligent car engine system are not equipped, and the overall configuration is relatively shabby.
In terms of safety configuration, gac-Honda Odyssey entry model is only equipped with main/co-pilot airbags, front side airbags and tire pressure alarms, etc., however, compared with other models, the safety configuration of the entry-level model is still lacking, the car lacks parking radar, reversing image, cruise system and various active safety configurations, and these configurations are commonly used in our daily cars, obviously the entry-level models can not meet the current consumer car purchase requirements.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
Comprehensive configuration information, we recommend the 2022 2.0L e:HEV Rui YaoXiang edition model, which is the sub-top model of the whole series except for the welfare version. In fact, the full range of medium-sized models one level lower than the recommended models can basically meet the normal car needs in many configurations, but as a family-grade MPV, it is impossible to say that there is a lack of safety configuration. Compared with the recommended models, the mid-mate model lacks the front/rear head air curtain, the side blind spot image, and the important second row seat of the whole vehicle also lacks the leg rest function, which is obviously unacceptable for an MPV model that focuses on comfort. Therefore, for the safety and comfort of family members, it is obviously more appropriate to spend 14,000 more on the top model.
Compared with the top model, the car has increased by 29,000 yuan on the basis of the recommended model, but the actual increase in configuration functions is not much, mainly adding 360-degree panoramic images, the second row of seat electric 10-way adjustment and heating functions, but also equipped with induction doors, etc., although the improvement of these configurations is also very attractive, but in fact, for a main family MPV model, the above configurations are not just needed, The most important thing is that the guidance price of more than 328,800 yuan has completely lost its cost performance in terms of price, so it is not used as a priority recommended model. On the whole, if you want to buy the 2022 Guangqi Honda Odyssey in the near future, then the 2.0L e:HEV Rui Yaoxiang edition model is relatively cost-effective and can be given priority when buying a car.
