Recently, a group of Dongfeng Honda's new car plans for 2022 have been exposed on the Internet, and combined with the news obtained before, the credibility of this plan is still quite high. In other words, friends who want to buy Honda may wish to wait for these new cars to come out before making a decision.
New Domain
ENVIX MMC is actually the new version of the domain, it is the sister car of Hiromoto Lingpai, although the sense of existence is not as strong as Lingpai, but I think it looks better.
At the end of last year, the new model has completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, so this year's listing is a normal rhythm. According to the declaration chart, the appearance of the new model has changed slightly, the shape of the cover and the front bar is more refined, and the rear bar adopts a through-through design, which looks more sporty. In addition, the tail tag of the hybrid version was replaced by Hybrid with the latest e:HEV.
The new domain has a length, width and height of 4772/1804/1509mm, a wheelbase of 2730mm, and an increase of 16mm in length. Depending on the model, 16- and 17-inch rims will be matched with tire sizes of 215/55 R16 and 215/50 R17. In terms of power, it will continue to be equipped with a 1.0T engine and a 1.5-liter hybrid system.
Civic Hybrid
The hybrid of the eleventh generation Civic has not yet been released, and it can be seen from the previous Road Test Spy Photos in Japan that its design and fuel version are consistent. According to foreign media rumors, the Hybrid Civic may use the i-mmd hybrid system with a 1.5L engine, that is, the Hybrid Atom/Enjoy Domain set. The comprehensive horsepower of 154Ps is not outstanding, but it is very fuel-efficient, and it is easy to achieve within 5L of 100 kilometers on Lingpai.
However, the larger and heavier Civic is equipped with this hybrid system, and the power may be unsatisfactory, and it is much weaker than the fuel version. It's best to use the 2.0L hybrid, even if the power is lower than the hybrid Accord. According to the plan, Hybrid Civic will be able to meet with you this year, and everyone is looking forward to the follow-up specific news.
Civic hatchback
I personally feel that the taillights of the eleventh generation Civic sedan version are not as good-looking as the style, but fortunately, the taillights of the two-compartment Civic have won back a city with high value. Unlike the angular taillights of the sedan version, the hatchback version is closer to the ten generations of boomerang shapes, with black trim in the middle to create the effect of a through-strip of lights.
Of course, the most attractive thing about the hatchback Civic is the lean tail and smooth back, which can awaken people's driving desire more. At present, it is not known whether the hatchback Civic will have a manual transmission configuration, considering that the Broad Type and the Tenth Generation Civic have manual gears, the more athletic positioning of the Hatchback Civic should provide manual transmissions to consumers to choose.
Civic Type-R
At the recent Tokyo Modification Show, a prototype of the new Civic Type-R was unveiled. Due to the heavy camouflage covered, we couldn't see more details. However, it can be seen from the bulging and thrown wheel arch that it has a wide body, and the momentum of the real car should be much stronger.
As can be seen from the prototype car, the new Civic Type-R will use a black honeycomb medium-net to strengthen the sports style. The three-out exhaust pipe in the middle is a traditional project of the Civic Type-R, but the tenth generation is the thickness of the two sides, and the new model has changed to two sides of the thin middle thickness.
As a Type-R, of course, you have to have the original big tail, which allows you to confidently and handsomely drive past the traffic police uncle. In the Chinese mainland market, there are not many cars with such treatment, and the Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan edition is aimed at this demand.
Today, driving as a hobby is in decline, many people simply do not have the opportunity to experience pure driving pleasures, and a new generation of consumers may not have much interest in Type-R. Today's young people buy performance cars, performance is very important, but not the key, the trend is the key, from the major car companies newly launched performance cars can see this. Type-R is still relatively Old School, and those who will really buy Type-R may still be those who play with cars in the early days and have money.
The Type-R didn't come when it was most time to come, but it was always good to be able to come. At present, there is gossip that its price will be in the range of 300,000-400,000 yuan, do you think it is appropriate?
New XR-V
The overseas original version of XR-V is VEZEL, and the new version of the latter has been released earlier, so we can see the shadow of the new XR-V in China in the future. It changes the appearance of the old model, a new black net, regardless of proportion, shape, details, are very handsome, I hope that our domestic version will also have in the future.
The side lines are boring, and the advantage is that the head space in the rear row is guaranteed, which is also VEZEL's consistent advantage. It can be noted that the rear door handle is still hidden in the window position. The rear of the car is quite handsome, and the details inside the through-type taillights make a sense of refinement.
As Honda's entry-level SUV, the interior of the new VEZEL is similar to the familiar new Fit, but it is more refined in every way, creating an atmosphere that is more upscale than the Fit.
According to the official introduction, its rear seats are thicker than the previous generation, and support 6:4 split reclining and folding up and down, and the rear seat has an air outlet.
The new CR-V
There is very little news about the new CR-V, there are only a few spy photos on the Internet, or I will introduce it later, after all, I will soon meet with you.
e:NS1
It is the honda brand's first pure electric vehicle in China, but it is based on the new VEZEL, which still belongs to the "oil to electricity category", so its appearance is similar to the new VEZEL, and it will be very similar to the new XR-V in the future.
Its advantage is that the driving experience is very close to that of traditional fuel vehicles, and it is not as easy to get motion sickness as some new electric vehicles. My colleagues have already done a preliminary test drive on it, and interested friends can move to "This car, worthy of its logo".
New C-SUV
In the list of new cars, there is also a mystery model. There's no information about it at the moment, and it's irresponsible to guess that it might be an SUV positioned between the CR-V and the UR-V, or it could be the one Honda used to play the Toyota Lingfang/Weissa. If this is the case, its appearance, interior and sense of grade should be superior to the CR-V, giving consumers who want to pursue quality one more choice.
epilogue
Looking at Dongfeng Honda's sales data in 2021, its full-year terminal sales were 793272 units, down 6.7% year-on-year (due to chip shortages), while Toyota next door stabilized sales with more abundant chip supply and new cars launched one after another. Obviously, in 2022, Dongfeng Honda is ready to do a big job, and it is foreseeable that various forms of Civic will escort the sales of Dongfeng Honda this year.
