On December 16, GUANGC Honda officially launched a total of 6 versions, of which the CVT version guidance price of 142,900-166,900 yuan, but also the valuable launch of 129,900 MT exclusive version.
It is said that the orders for two weeks of listing have exceeded 10,000. The sales of joint venture family cars at this price are very huge, but the partial movement is a minority, so the Civic has become convergent, and what does the style rely on to make the picky young people move?
Recently, after our in-depth test drive, we found the answer to the question and shared it with you here.
Static feeling: Sharp appearance and thick configuration, highlighting the sense of value
Exterior design is the first communication between people and cars, and the "first glance effect" is crucial to the sales of a car. As for the problem of appearance, people of different ages understand differently, and young people prefer a sharp painting style.
The style is based on Honda Architecture's new architecture, which is just for the tastes of young people. The slender front, compact rear, and flat lines on the sides form a strong visual impact. The wide wheelbase creates a strong grip, which shows that the center of gravity of the vehicle is very low, showing a low-lying sports style.
There are also three-pupil LED headlights, equipped with ACL active steering lighting system as standard, which illuminates the inner road with turn signals and steering wheel. 18-inch rims, double-out sport exhaust, blade LED taillight shape, looks domineering.
The unique night version shows more sports personality and stimulates the enthusiasm of young people.1 The wheel hub adopts a blackened design, equipped with a shiny black rear spoiler tail, exterior mirror cover, shark fin, door handle, etc., instantly pulling out the sense of movement.
In terms of color matching, the model is equipped with 6 body colors, including hot yellow and emerald blue, of which emerald blue is a limited car color of the exclusive magic night series, with a total of 2,000 units in the whole year.
Enter the lattice car, you will see the interior exquisite and comfortable, equipped with 10.2-inch color TFT multi-function full LCD instrument, 9-inch color intelligent interconnect screen system, the new HMI design to make the operation more convenient.
Moreover, a lot of careful thinking has been made in the details, such as: a large area of glass area to create a wide field of view, the alloy mesh air conditioner air outlet is more textured, and some physical buttons are retained to make people feel very kind.
In terms of configuration, the type has style and is also very conscientious. The specially tailored 12-speaker BOSE luxury sound system (top-of-the-line model), as well as details such as card keys, wireless phone charging, and in-car mood lights, add to the experience, so that every moment you spend with it is enjoyable.
Dynamic evaluation: high combustion performance, awakening young people's desire for driving control
I believe that from the visual point of view, everyone has already experienced the youth and passion of the type, relative to the Civic began to move closer to the family car, the type of grid took over the "ghost fire teenager" class. So, how does this car drive?
First look at the parameters, the whole series is equipped with a 1.5T engine, the maximum power is 134kW, the maximum torque is 240N·m, and the whole series is a high-power version.
In this engine, Honda is proud of its VTEC technology, and it uses advanced technologies such as high-power turbochargers, high-rigidity crankshafts, and high-rigidity oil pans.
Matched with this is the CVT transmission, which integrates G-Design Shift technology, plus the powertrain Honda is equipped with a variety of main models, has been polished very well, and has withstood the test of the market.
It is particularly noteworthy that the starting model of the model has arranged a manual exclusive version, which has made many emotional users praise. MT manual transmission takes into account the short stroke and high rigidity of the gear shift experience, to achieve the realm of human-vehicle integration, which is the old driver can experience the pleasure, understand the natural understanding.
Here, we focus on the automatic model. Honda's power system is very familiar to everyone, this is a very mature technology, strong power, whether it is overtaking, lane change or high-speed re-acceleration, there are sufficient power reserves.
If there is an intuitive experience of power, such as "pushing back", then the sense of control can only be known by personal experience. In terms of chassis tuning, the shape is also as sporty as its design, which can be summarized as advanced, calm and precise.
"Premium" comes from the all-round tuning of the chassis, equipped with a high-rigidity aluminum alloy subframe commonly used in high-end models, the chassis structure adopts low-friction technology, and the optimized chassis bushing, the feeling of opening up is solid and thick.
"Calm" comes from the low center of gravity, wide wheelbase design, and the 18-inch cutting wheel support brings extremely high handling limits and driving stability.
"Precision" comes from the refined steering adjustment, and follows Honda's consistent sports pedigree, whether it is frequent lane change overtaking in urban road conditions, or in various corners in the suburbs, driving up is smooth and flowing, and it can be handled freely.
Coupled with the new Honda Architecture architecture, through the comprehensive upgrade of "material" and "structure", the type has a high rigidity and lightweight "skeleton", and the whole series is equipped with 10 airbags and pedestrian protection systems, excellent NVH, etc., so that you feel safe and comfortable.

In terms of intelligent driving, the model is equipped with the latest Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system, which incorporates a number of new technologies. For example, the monocular wide-angle camera can achieve wider area and more accurate detection and identification. The TJA function (Traffic Jam Assistant) can be combined with ACC Active Cruise Control (with LSF low-speed front car follow system) to achieve full-speed domain steering.
In addition, there are a full range of driver assistance equipment such as LXAS Lane Keeping Assist System and BSI Blind Spot Monitoring System, bringing a safe and convenient smart travel experience.

Market analysis: sports genes and high-end heritage, what is the prospect
Although the new model, known in English as INTEGRA, is a product of Honda's "two-car strategy" in China, as a new generation of Civic's "sister car", but inside Honda, INTEGRA is a legendary model with a history of 36 years, not a simple "Chinese special car".
From 1985 to 2006, INTEGRA spanned four generations, spanning 22 years, and has always been known as a performance car. Although Honda discontinued the sale of the INTEGRA series due to the shrinking of the coupe market, honda's loyal fans have continued to believe.
In 2021, integra was launched again by Honda after many years, and it is the model in the domestic market, while in North America it is Acura INTEGRA, and both vehicles are based on the eleventh generation Civic development. It can be seen that the type is not only deeply rooted, but also has high-end factors.
Judging from the record of Civic's monthly sales of about 20,000 vehicles, it is naturally difficult to reach the order of magnitude of Corolla, Langyi, Xuanyi and other models, but GUANGQI Honda has formed a highly complementary combination of "Type + Lingpai", which still has a great impact on the A-class car market.
Because, whether radical or conservative, whether it is a family or a geek, you can choose the right model, so that Honda's fans will not flow out. This also allows Guangqi Honda to enter the first line in the field of A-class cars after the B-class Accord and A0-class Fit.
