Only two weeks after the listing, the cumulative order exceeded 10,000 units.
This is the proud result achieved by Guangqi Honda's new A-class sports car after the model was listed in China. Many people call the model the sister model of the Civic, but this is also true. However, in the author's opinion, compared with the eleventh generation of Civic, the type has a stronger movement gene.
For Guangqi Honda, the model is not only a new sports car, but also a heritage of a generation of classic models INTEGRA, and INTEGRA is also a preaching product that truly transmits the charm of Type-R to the people. So, what kind of car is the type that inherits the name of INTEGRA? Recently, the author conducted an in-depth test drive on the type.
Minimalist sporty design, "Little Accord" both visual sense
The first time I saw the type to the author's first feeling is the visual sense of the small Accord, compared to the eleventh generation of Civic, the type has a sense of movement in the appearance design, but it will not make people feel too radical, it can be said that it is quite in place. In addition, the type does not use too many exaggerated lines and complex elements to break the overall sense of the vehicle in the design, but it also creates a low-lying and wide-body posture of the sports car, which has to make people admire the ingenuity of the designers of Guangqi Honda.
On the side, the 4689mm length and 2735mm wheelbase make the vehicle look very slender in visual effects, and the simple and smooth body waistline and the shape of the tail ducktail further highlight the attributes of the sports coupe.
Finally, in the tail design, the tail light group adopts a double "L" shape, and it is blackened, which has a strong recognition. At the same time, the exhaust hole is also a two-sided layout, coupled with a bright black bottom diffuser, with a racing-like visual sense, which is a further pursuit of sporty attributes.
From the overall design point of view, although the style and the eleventh generation Civic are sister models, there is a clear difference in the shape of the two, and the overall design of the type is more sporty, which is also the inheritance of INTEGRA.
The new interior design, the joint venture can also be very smart
Entering the car, compared with the style of the eleventh generation Civic in the exterior design, the interior design of the style is basically the same as that of the eleventh generation Civic. The design style of the entire car is also relatively simple, but it also retains some necessary physical buttons. For example, the air conditioning adjustment button, for adjusting the air conditioning, the author personally feels that the physical button is more convenient than the touch adjustment method.
Speaking of air conditioning, it has to be said that its air conditioning outlet, the type of air conditioning air outlet adopts a penetrating design, while the interior also uses a honeycomb shape, coupled with black embellishment, so that the grade of the entire car has been significantly improved. And the control button type of the air conditioning wind direction is also unique, using a joystick-type control lever.
In the creation of a sense of science and technology, the vehicle is equipped with a 10.2-inch color TFT multi-function full LCD instrument and a 9-inch color intelligent interconnect screen system, not only the display effect is very clear, the interior is equipped with Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system, not only the UI interface is more concise, the operation is more smooth, the system also supports speech recognition and Home Link car interconnection, remote control car and other functions. In terms of intelligent configuration, the type is undoubtedly in a leading position in the joint venture car, which is more in line with the needs of young people's cars.
The whole series is equipped with a 1.5T high-performance engine as standard, and the sports car is worthy of the name
In terms of power, the entire series of models is equipped with an L15C9 1.5T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 182Ps and a maximum torque of 240N·m. That is to say, the entire series of models is a 240TURBO model, which is highly equipped at the beginning.
In terms of gearbox, in order to meet the obsession of some consumers with control, the type of entry-level model deliberately retains the choice of manual transmission, but the author's test drive this time is its automatic transmission model, matching the CVT stepless gearbox. But even the CVT gearbox, as long as the deep throttle push back feeling is still emerging, even if the speed is 100km/h, stepping on the throttle still has a very linear acceleration performance, and the CVT gearbox can do so only the Civic and the type.
In terms of driving experience, although the type is a sports car, it is more inclined to the home in the chassis adjustment, and the overall pursuit of ultimate athletic performance does not have a hard feeling. However, when making sharp bends, rapid lane changes and other actions, the whole vehicle can still maintain a certain degree of movement, which is considered to be a neutralization in household and sports.
It is worth mentioning that the steering wheel of the type only needs 1 and a half turns to fill, and the precise feel and light and dexterous body can be easily used even if it is a new driver.
Write at the end:
Through the test drive, the type of personality to the author's feeling is still more in line with expectations, can exercise can be used at home, which is the author's deepest experience of the type. The arrival of the type also adds a new option to the sports car market. So the question is, do you prefer the eleventh generation Civic that has become homely, or the more sporty style?
