For Honda enthusiasts, there is always a car that will become a spiritual totem.
What is beautiful or not, the cost performance is not high, these criteria for judging a car, for Honda, may not be the most core standard. Because whether it is Fit or Civic, or even Accord, it has its own loyal fans. For them, the Honda is more than just a car, it's a spirit.
When the time came to the end of 2021, honda's spirit was once again inherited, and a classic model with sports genes, the Guangqi Honda model, was officially launched, priced at 129,900-166,900. How popular is this car? Sales are probably the best answer. Since its launch on December 16, orders for the model have exceeded 10,000 units in two weeks.
At the beginning of 2022, the Guangqi Honda model test drive will be held in Shenzhen, when sports and classics are intertwined, so that the feelings land, in fact, it becomes very natural.
Make the classics more sporty
Maybe only true love fans can feel the familiarity of the style.
Like most performance cars in the Honda family, the INTEGRA was developed with the intention of being an ordinary family compact sedan, positioned between the Civic Civic and The Accord. In 1985, Honda positioned its newly released INTEGRA as a model with excellent practicality and sporty driving performance. The word "Integra", etymology "Integrate", has the meaning of unifying and making it complete, hoping to express its meaning of integrating the latest technologies owned by Honda.
The first generation of the model "Quint Integra" adopted a jumping light design, equipped with a four-wheel disc brake, and was equipped with the "ZC" type 1.6L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine that was the leading technology at that time, and the high-power version of the model could output 135ps/6500rpm of power performance at that time, which was the strongest 1.6L engine in the Mass Production Passenger Car in japan at that time, providing a 3/5 door subdivision of the body style, and also established the image of its high-end sports car.
In April 1989, Honda unveiled the first doHC VTEC engine in history to use the B16A, a passenger naturally aspirated gasoline engine with an electronically controlled variable valve lift and timing technology, to 100 ps/L, and it was equipped with the second-generation INTEGRA. At that time, INTEGRA became the sales champion of the Mid-sized Class in Japan with more than 260,000 units.
In 1992, the third generation of INTEGRA officially launched the Type R version. Type R-specific accessories have been improved and evolved on the third generation of INTEGRA. For example, B18C improved the original 61 forged parts, increased throttle diameter and high-performance platinum spark plug from 6 degrees to 7 degrees, so that the compression ratio was increased from 10.6 to 11.1, the maximum allowable speed was 8400 rpm, the maximum output was 200ps, and the power increase reached an astonishing 111ps/L, which also made the third generation OF INTEGRA a generation of classics.
Today, the type evolved from INTEGRA incorporates its movement genes engraved in DNA into the classics.
How can it be expressed for its motor genes? Perhaps it is not Honda's proud engine, but its 6MT version, at the price of 129,900, the reason for the hand-stopper is very simple, that is, in this era of automatic transmission everywhere, leaving a dream field for those who have the dream of manipulating.
The performance of the type in terms of power will not disappoint. Honda is equipped with a 1.5T Earth Dream turbo engine, with a maximum horsepower of 182Ps and a peak torque of 240N·m, although the displacement is only 1.5T, but the power feeling of this engine is still quite excellent, even in the middle and high speed range, there is no lack of fatigue.
When you step on the throttle deeply, the type will give you a very timely throttle feedback, and you can feel a strong sense of pushing back when you step deeply, whether it is smooth acceleration or overtaking speed, the engine and the gearbox are very tacit. The steering wheel is mainly comfortable and light, it does not feel very soft or stiff, the directionality is very precise, the return speed is also fast, and it is very easy to operate when cornering and dodging vehicles. In terms of suspension, the tuning of the entire chassis is more comfortable, and the most intuitive thing is that the bumps from the ground are filtered very well, and the comfort of the rear row is also guaranteed.
Make exercise more advanced
If a car takes sports as a gene, then its appearance must not be too bad, but such a requirement obviously cannot meet the "ambition" of the style, and the sense of high-grade is the label of the shape of the style, because in the appearance of the shape, the type breaks through the design ideas of many traditional mid-level cars, and integrates many high-level elements of personalized sports in the details.
When you see the main emerald blue and hot yellow of the type, you know how the type externalizes the movement gene. This bold and unrestrained color has never appeared in Honda's history in China.
In terms of appearance, the type has also changed Honda's usual chrome decoration, but adopts a honeycomb-like grille with black as the main tone, and the sporty visual appearance is full. The overall design is simple and sharp, and the low center of gravity and wide wheelbase of the whole vehicle shape the visual impact of strong grip and low lying movement. The front face adopts a black mesh grille design, the two sides are equipped with three pupil LED headlights sharp and narrow, and the ACL active steering lighting system is also equipped as standard, which can illuminate the inner road with the turn signal and steering wheel, which is both aesthetic and practical. The bottom ends of the bumper replace the fog light area with air intake slots to create a sporty atmosphere.
From the side, the type grid body line is slender, the tail upturned spoiler design is very sporty, the bilateral exhaust is coordinated with the bottom diffuser decoration, coupled with the blade LED taillights, equipped with 18-inch rims, the overall shape of the sport domineering. From the perspective of body size, its length, width and height are 4675/1800/1415 mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2735mm, which is not inferior to volkswagen sagittarius, and also brings more ample riding space.
Entering the car, the 10.2-inch color TFT multi-function full LCD instrument and the 9-inch color intelligent interconnect screen system are coming to the face, and the new HMI design makes the operation more convenient; simplifies the layout of the center console, creates a wide field of view, adopts alloy mesh air conditioning outlet, red and black interior, full of details and texture, and it is worth mentioning its high-end configuration.
12-speaker BOSE luxury sound system, carefully designed and tuned by BOSE and Honda engineers for 4 years, every time you drive can enjoy the auditorium-like feast; card key, easy induction, automatic connection, more style; more mobile phone wireless charging, in-car mood lights and other configurations, will make you forget that this is a sports car.
With the blessing of the Honda Connect3.0 car-machine system, the model is still the honda that is very convenient, including intelligent speech recognition, which can control air conditioning, windows, navigation and other functions through voice. The system's functions also support the currently commonly used online navigation, online music and smart home interconnection functions.
Make premium more practical
If the sense of luxury is the label of the type, then Guangqi Honda has another important label for the type, that is, practicality.
Where does practicality come from? Honda Architecture, honda architecture, is the answer.
What is honda architecture?
It represents Honda's latest benchmark and highest achievement in global car manufacturing, using the latest car manufacturing technology and advanced car manufacturing concept to bring a higher level of manufacturing quality.
It is worth mentioning that based on the Honda Architecture architecture, the type has taken safety to a new level through the creation of two aspects of "material" and "structure".
For example, the new model adopts a high-rigidity lightweight "skeleton", applies aluminum alloy and high-tension materials, and strengthens the strength of the overall frame structure, achieving an 8% increase in torsional rigidity and a 13% increase in bending rigidity; the whole series is equipped with 10 airbags and a pedestrian protection system as standard, which pushes passive safety performance and active safety performance to a higher level.
Thanks to the systematic optimization of the car-making process and concept, the overall NVH performance is even better, even at high speeds, the car can be easily talked to, and at the same time, the application of a large number of high-quality materials and exquisite decoration reshape the user's expectations for sports cars.
In addition, the temperature of science and technology is also fully reflected in the type.
The award-winning Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system is also installed on the type. The system is equipped with a monocular wide-angle camera for longer distances and more accurate identification; its TJA function (Traffic Jam Assistant Traffic Jam Assist System) is coordinated with ACC Active Cruise Control To achieve steering assistance in the full speed domain, greatly reducing daily driving fatigue; the ACL active steering lighting system is standard throughout the series, which can illuminate the inner road with the turn signal and steering wheel to ensure driving vision; ADB adaptive high beam system. The high beam can be automatically switched according to the position of the vehicle in the front view, which can reduce the light interference to other road users, but also expand the lighting range and ensure a clear field of view. The type not only gives young consumers the dynamic shape and intelligent experience they want, but also gives enough security.
Write at the end:
Before the model, the sports car market has actually gathered a lot of players.
Starting with the Honda Civic, and then the rise of its own brand sports coupe, perhaps, taking advantage of this sports trend, they will also gain something. But the type still has its own place.
In addition to the product, there is another reason why the type is hot on the market, that is, it has achieved an additional advantage, that is, to make young people unforgettable at a glance. From this point of view, the type really grasps the traffic code that captures young people.
Starting with the style, Guangqi Honda's road to rejuvenation will be the next city.
