After the official listing on the 16th of last month, the Broad Ben type finally officially entered the market. Whether it is because of the identity of the Civic Brothers model or its own outstanding design, the model has won the attention of a large number of young consumers, and the order for 10,000 vehicles in two weeks of listing also reflects the market's recognition of the model. Similarly, Circle Brother also recognizes the outstanding competitiveness of the model in the joint venture sports car market, and the appearance design and interconnection configuration of the new car are very worthy of recognition. However, as a model that focuses on sports, whether the type can achieve real "sports" in dynamic performance is the core strength of the model. Today's circle brother will also fully experience the dynamic performance of the type to see if it is sporty enough.
The simple design is younger
Before opening the type, let's talk about the design of the type, after all, most young consumers are "face control". From the overall shape point of view, the type is not like most sports cars to use a rather ostentatious or even exaggerated design, the lines of the whole car are very simple, clear, giving people a smooth visual feeling at the same time to ensure their own posture as a sports model. In terms of details, the type adopts a flat design, and the honeycomb-shaped forward grille with a blackened front face is matched with a narrow headlight, and the sharp and aggressive athletic temperament is very prominent. In addition, the side air intakes and protruding front shovels on both sides of the front further enhance the visual impact of the entire front.
On the side modeling, the design of the double waist line is well used to highlight the sense of strength of the whole car, and with the shape of the tail slip, it also lengthens the visual length of the whole car. Including the wheel design, the style of the wheel hub varies according to different configuration models, but its overall style is based on the multi-frame design that spreads outward from the center, ensuring the street feeling as a sports model. In terms of specific dimensions, the length, width and height of the type are 4689/1802/1415 (1420) mm, and the wheelbase is 2735 mm, which is almost the same as that of the Civic.
In terms of the rear of the car, the type adopts a 7-figure shape tail light group, coupled with the duck tail design of the tail upturned, the overall sense of sport is also quite in place. At the same time, the type also has two main colors, blazing hot yellow and emerald blue, which strengthen the display of personality. And in order to further highlight the sporty sense of the whole vehicle, the model of the phantom night version of the model adopts a blackened design in the details of the rearview mirror cover, window frame, door handle and so on, and the contrast color match also creates a visual contrast and enhances the sense of sport. From the overall appearance, although the style and the Civic are brother models, there are still no small differences in the design ideas and styles of the two cars, and the shape does not "collide".
The tech interior is more stylish
Compared with the appearance, the type of style tends to be the same as the Civic in the interior design, the overall straight, atmospheric lines make the car look very neat and refreshing, and the design of the through-type honeycomb-shaped air conditioner outlet, the joystick type air conditioning control lever, and the triple knob button also finds a balance between cool and convenient. Of course, the most noteworthy thing in the car is the 9-inch suspension central control, which is equipped with honda Connect 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, not only the UI interface is more concise, the operation is more fluent, but also supports speech recognition and Home Link car interconnection, remote control car and other functions, the degree of intelligent interconnection is higher, to meet the young consumers' demand for intelligent interconnection of vehicles.
The whole series of 1.5T high power blessing
Before the official test drive model, it is still necessary to introduce its power configuration. Unlike the 1.5T high- and low-power models launched by the Civic, the entire model is equipped with a 240TURBO high-power 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 134 kilowatts. In terms of transmission, in addition to the automatic models equipped with CVT transmissions, the model is also available in 6MT manual models. Therefore, in terms of power configuration, the type also forms a certain difference with the Civic.
Benchmark dynamic performance
Really open the type, the first feeling of the whole car to me is very brisk, 1.5T engine in the initial stage of the power response is particularly sensitive, so that you can feel the sports model should have that "restless" as soon as you get started. Of course, this lightness also benefits from the contribution of the gearbox, and even the CVT can quickly react and transmit power. After the start, the overall power transmission of the type is also very linear, there is a feeling of opening the self-priming engine, whether it is smooth acceleration or overtaking speed, the engine and the gearbox are very tacit, the power given is very positive, smooth, which is also the point that many models equipped with dual-clutch transmissions of the same level cannot do. Therefore, in terms of power, the type gives not only abundant horsepower output, but also has advantages in smoothness.
Although it is a sports model, the performance of the model on the chassis is more inclined to the family, and the overall performance does not pursue the ultimate athletic performance, and there is no sense of hard state. Therefore, the overall shock absorption performance of the type in the face of potholes and undulating roads is very good, which can ensure the comfort of the driver and passengers. Of course, the type can still maintain a certain degree of movement when doing sharp bends, rapid lane changes and other actions, but the body posture is not so good-looking. It is worth mentioning that the steering stroke of the model steering wheel is only a little more than one turn, which is also a very sporty design, which allows us to better control the vehicle and maintain a sitting position while reducing the steering action. In the actual urban road, the dexterous and precise steering can indeed make the type more flexible in the traffic flow.
In addition, the performance of the sound insulation style is not particularly ideal, and the overall isolation of various noises and ambient sounds is not particularly in place. But this kind of performance can also make you obviously feel the roar of the engine, which may also be the auditory movement that the type deliberately makes us feel. In general, the comprehensive performance of the type on the road is still very sporty, full of power, acceleration linear and fast, precise handling, although the chassis is not completely sporty tuning but also to ensure a certain degree of sportiness, comprehensive dynamic performance can be called the same level of benchmarking.
In the view of "One Circle of Cars": in the face of young consumers, the type is very good in the appearance design, interconnection configuration, dynamic performance to achieve comprehensive development, the core product force can fully meet the needs. In the face of the brother model Civic, the model has also made differences in design style and power configuration, and the layout of the two-car market in the same market also provides consumers with more diverse choices. In the face of the sports car segment, the type also enters the game with a benchmarking posture, ensuring high-level sports attributes while retaining the comfort of home. Therefore, for the type, the circle brother is also very optimistic about its future market performance, and it is very likely that the Civic will also be "jealous".
