In recent years, many foreign auto brands have adopted a "two-car strategy" in Chinese joint venture car companies, such as Volkswagen, Toyota, and Honda, and the market response is also good. Perhaps to eat the sweetness, Dongfeng Honda Civic's sister model Guangqi Honda All New Grid (INTEGRA) was also listed in China at the end of last year, and it is said that in two weeks, the order has exceeded 10,000!
How about this car? What's the difference between it and Civic? The other day, I went to test drive.
To tell the truth, since the Listing of Civic in China, the results are quite good, and the newly listed Guangqi Honda type must show more sincerity if it wants to catch up with The Civic, and Guangqi Honda has indeed done so. From the name of the model, Guangqi Honda directly put the INTEGRA to use, to know that since the birth of THE INTEGRA in the 1980s, it has been honored as the "honda civilian coupe ancestor", "Japanese pioneer king", "red head legend" and other titles, is one of Honda's most classic sports models, fans nicknamed it "hard melon". Now Guangqi Honda uses this name in the style, hoping to rekindle the bloody faith of young people.
The appearance of the type is not much to introduce, after all, the green vegetables and turnips are good, let's talk about some details. The model eliminates the fog lights and adds an air guide, which has the advantage of making the air flow on the lower edge of the body more smooth on the one hand, which is helpful for fuel saving and speed increase, and on the other hand, it can reduce the temperature of the brake discs. As for the function of fog lights, they are replaced by the high penetration characteristics of LED headlights.
In terms of body color, the type adopts 6 colors including hot yellow and emerald blue, and there is a unique night version for consumers to choose, and the headlights, wheel hubs, door handles and spoiler of the night version of the model are blackened, with double exhaust pipes, sports personality domineering.
The type inherits the Honda MM space design concept, there is absolutely no problem in the interior space, it can be said that it is quite spacious, and the rear row can even the legs of The Erlang. A large number of high-quality materials are used in the car, with a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument and a 9-inch suspension central control screen, which is full of science and technology. In fact, the most worth mentioning is that the interior of the car full of modern style is decorated with mechanical metal alloy mesh outlets, and there is no smell of cyberpunk mechanical wind.
In the car machine system, the model added a new Honda Connect 3.0 system, including tmall genie, QQ music and other applications of the blessing, the car machine also has the Internet of Vehicles and OTA online upgrade function, basically can move the mouth without hands, a good way to meet the needs of contemporary young people.
The whole series is also equipped with a very cool card key, which is not only easy to carry, but also can be used as a technology fashion trend. There are also mobile phone wireless charging, in-car mood lights and other comfortable configurations, the richness of the configuration is surprising, A+ class and even B sedan are rare.
Sitting in the cab, you can feel the obvious wide field of view in the front row, which is the designer of the type of the hood to lower the edge of the hood by 24mm, while the A pillar is offset backward by 50mm, mainly to increase the driver's field of vision, effectively reduce the driving blind spot, improve driving safety.
In the process of driving, the quietness of the whole car is not bad, whether it is tire noise or wind noise, it is better controlled. Call music on the way to the test drive, here we have to mention the type of this set of audio, which is Guangqi Honda specially tailored for the type of Bose unique Centerpoint surround sound system, is also the only one equipped in the GUANGQI Honda model system, 12 high-performance speakers, using 12 channels of digital power amplifier, can achieve with customized equalization and proprietary digital signal processing technology, including virtual surround sound technology and DSC dynamic speed compensation technology, Create an unparalleled music experience for in-vehicle occupants.
In terms of safety, the styling has been comprehensive, the body uses aluminum materials and high-tension steel, the torsional rigidity is increased by 8%, the bending rigidity is increased by 13%, and the lightweight and high-rigidity body is realized. It also comes standard with 10 airbags, pedestrian protection system, and preloaded seat belts. It is equipped with the latest Honda SENSING safety super sense system, with a full range of driving assistance functions such as TJA Traffic Congestion Assist System, ACC Active Cruise Control (with LSF Low Speed Forward Car Following System), LKAS Lane Keeping Assist System, and BSI Blind Spot Monitoring System. There are several functions that are most deeply felt during the test drive, such as alarm prompts when the distance with the car is close; alarm prompts when changing lanes, such as the distance between the rear car is too close; alarm prompts after leaving the steering wheel for a few seconds with both hands.
The type is quite sincere in terms of power, and the whole series is equipped with a high-power version of the 1.5T "Earth Dream" turbo engine, with a maximum power of 134kW and a peak torque of 240N·m, matching the self-developed CVT gearbox. In the test drive process is very powerful, especially in the initial stage, there is a feeling of pushing back when accelerating, but due to the use of CVT transmission, the feeling of pushing back is not particularly obvious. It is said that the manual version will have a more driving sense, Guangqi Honda specially customized for the manual version of the 6MT transmission has the characteristics of short shift stroke, more conducive to control, unfortunately this test drive does not have a manual version of the grid, which is a pity, the next opportunity to test drive the MT version of the grid again.
The adjustment of the chassis is also quite good, it can be said that it is worthy of this price, in the process of driving can filter out the big bumps, but also the sense of the road from the tire to the steering wheel, you can feel the solid and thick sense of high-grade.
