For automakers with two joint ventures in China, the two-vehicle strategy is no longer a rare thing, but usually, sister cars can almost be said to be the same car in addition to the appearance and configuration of the difference.
Not long ago, Guangqi Honda's first compact sports sedan model was launched, as another masterpiece of Honda's two-car strategy, the model is also the same as its sister model Civic, which has been labeled as sporty and handled. However, the truth is that Guangqi Honda is trying to break the conventional practice of the past and make a clear distinction between the model and the sister model Civic.
In plain words, the type is obviously more sincere than the type this time, because Hiromoto has sacrificed the classic model INTEGRA as the name of the type, so the new car can not only have the labels of "sport" and "control", it gives the type a super perfect "feeling" background.
Behind each feeling, there are different story chapters, on January 8, Xiaobian happened to be invited to the beautiful Pengcheng Shenzhen to participate in the Guangqi Honda type test drive meeting and read what kind of story the new INTEGRA has.
Inherit the classics and innovate the old
In the 1980s, the name INTEGRA carried Honda's original intention of pursuing extreme performance, led the trend of the times in sports cars, and was the "Dream Car" that many young people dreamed of. And in the sports performance car once again become a trend of automobile consumption today, the inheritance of the essence of INTEGRA style, the appearance of the natural needless to say, whether it is the vertical and horizontal front face edges, or sharp and cheerful body lines, the type OFEGRA presents a unique sense of trend and simple sense of high-grade, the young people's vigorous temperament is vividly displayed.
The two different styles of body colors of hot yellow and emerald blue are the finishing touches, which are very in line with the aesthetic needs of the next generation of young people. In addition, the 18-inch radially cut aluminum wheels are classic and have a strong visual impact. It is easy to recall those classic JDM performance cars, which are not only full of emotions, but also very accurately cut to the aesthetics of today's young people.
Keep pace with the times, intelligent and practical
Of course, the style and taste of the style galloping at the forefront of the times are not only visible to the naked eye. With the rapid development of intelligent attributes of vehicles, for the type INTEGRA, the intelligence sought after and loved by young people cannot be left behind. The Honda Connect 3.0 system equipped with the large control screen in the car, in addition to the conventional voice control car machine, also supports the adjustment of daily functions such as air conditioning in the car, window lifting and lifting, etc., not only that, it can also control the electrical switch in the home through the interconnection function, and can start the engine in advance through Tmall Genie (or through the mobile phone App) at home before departure, turn on the air conditioning in the car and so on.
When the user is in the car, he can connect with the home appliances through the car machine system before going home, so as to realize the operation of the sweeping robot, the early opening of the air conditioner and other car and home interconnection functions. Even if you need to order takeout, users can do it with the Honda Connect 3.0 system. After that, the type INTEGRA can also be upgraded according to the system OTA to achieve more intelligent breakthroughs. It is no exaggeration to say that the intelligence of the type INTEGRA is at the forefront of most fuel vehicles, which meets the needs of contemporary young people.
At the same time, this intelligent aspect is also manifested in the Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system, which is equipped with many daily practical driver assistance functions, such as ACC adaptive cruise, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, active braking and other functions, which can bring users a more secure and convenient smart travel experience.
Sporty and taking care of the family
To tell the truth, the above-mentioned intelligent configuration, there are types, Civic also have, but the reason why the former has such a high voice in today's sports car market is due to the excellent handling performance of the model.
The name of "buying an engine and sending a car" must be the lingering brand of many Honda fans, the 1.5T "Earth Dream" turbo engine equipped with the model is Honda's star product, and the new car is all based on the 1.5T high-power version with maximum power of 134kW and peak torque of 240N·m.
Not only that, but in terms of the drivetrain, the type INTEGRA is also full of surprises, in addition to the CVT version, it also provides a 6-speed manual transmission. I don't need to emphasize that I believe that car lovers can also understand what manual transmission models mean in today's car market, which is not only a symbol of feelings, but also a guarantee of driving pleasure.
Back to the point, Xiaobian has never touched the manual gear since taking the driver's license, and I am still a little afraid of it, so I decisively chose the CVT version of the model. To my surprise, even in the automatic models, the styling offers no less driving pleasure. The whole starting process of the vehicle can be said to be very smooth, deep step on the floor oil, there is no obvious sense of abruptness of turbine intervention, the overall acceleration is very linear, can let me drive it more calmly, although the 1.5T engine push back feeling is not too strong, but this gentle adjustment, but also quite suitable for me a novice driver.
Of course, I think that the type is "mild" is too one-sided, because when the vehicle enters the middle and high speed range, this 1.5T engine begins to explode the power performance it should have, and the gearbox is downshifted to replenish the oil, and the overtaking is completed in one go. And when xiaobian hung into the S gear, it is more as if the door to a new world has been opened, the throttle has become more heeled, the power and ordinary mode are much worse, the basic foot oil can be maintained at more than 3000 rpm, if you are a "novice" who is not familiar with the vehicle, it is recommended to open the "S" mode less, because it is still difficult to open it.
In terms of chassis and suspension, the type INTEGRA still adopts the independent suspension combination of front McPherson plus rear multi-link, which can play a good support when changing lines and cornering, and the posture is very stable. In addition, thanks to the structure of the rear multi-link independent suspension, when passing the speed bump, you can feel the beating of the suspension, but the frequency is very fast, the suspension is very tight, sitting in the car basically can not feel the excess jump, the entire chassis texture is still very good, and the riding comfort has also been better improved.
Write at the end
In general, the type does not live up to the name of INTEGRA, although the positioning is a little worse than the previous front-drive king "hard melon" (performance car), but the spiritual core they want to express is undoubtedly to bring users a strong driving pleasure, so on this point, the type is a good way to meet the young consumer group's entire "fantasy" of a sports car. At the same time, the type can also take into account the household attributes of the vehicle well, and the overall performance can be said to be almost no short board.
So if you want to buy a joint venture car that can meet the driving pleasure and family use, then the model is definitely a good choice.
