Next, let the professor take stock of these new blockbuster models:
After the Toyota GR brand planned to introduce a number of models to China, Honda finally couldn't sit still.
Fans have long coveted the high-performance car - Civic TYPE R is about to be introduced, but the specific import or CKD is still uncertain, after all, CKD will have more advantages in price. It is said that there are already 4S stores that can pay the money.
The fastest and best to drive the front drive, these are the labels of the Civic TYPE R. In terms of power, there are currently two speculations, one is to continue to be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, while the other is a hybrid system with 400 horsepower, and two gearboxes are available, manual and automatic.
Civic has always been the main focus of young sports style, but home comfort is the compact car market just need, of which fuel saving is the consumer's emphasis when buying a car, which is why Toyota Corolla and Raling sales performance is better than Civic.
Nissan introduced the e-POWER range extender hybrid model for Xuanyi at the end of last year, allowing the Xuanyi family to consolidate its position as the crown of sales again.
Therefore, in the Japanese top three of compact cars, honda Civic has no hybrid model. In fact, The Civic has launched a hybrid version in previous generations, and the hybrid version of the 8th generation has also been introduced to the domestic market, but the price of 269,800 in that year can only be reduced to a foil.
At present, the new Civic Hybrid Edition is still in the process of road testing, and it is planned to be officially unveiled globally within this year and introduced into China at the same time. The new car will be equipped with an i-MMD hybrid system consisting of a 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine and dual motors.
The price of the reference ordinary version of the Civic is 129,900-16.99 million yuan, and it is expected that the price of the hybrid version of the Civic will be slightly higher. Compared with Toyota Corolla and Leiling Dual Engine and Xuanyi e-POWER, the Civic Hybrid Edition is not big in terms of price.
Civic HATCHBACK is the Civic Hatchback Edition, and the current 10th generation Civic Hatchback Edition and the new 11th Generation Civic Sedan Edition are in the same state of sale.
The new Civic Hatchback was introduced to China later than the sedan version because it appeared later than the sedan version, and the domestic 10th generation Civic hatchback version was listed for less than two years.
The new Civic Hatchback has a more aggressive slipback than the current 10 Civic Hatchback, and this time the design of the taillight part is completely different from the sedan version, and there will be differences in the adjustment of suspension and steering.
The new XR-V is a new Binzhi that has been released overseas, and will continue to adopt the dual-vehicle strategy of North and South Honda after the introduction of domestic production.
The new car is like a scaled-down version of the Honda Crown Road, and the sense of premium of the whole car has been improved. The "magic seat" in the rear row has been retained, and the improvement in configuration is also a major highlight, and it is hoped that this performance can be maintained after domestic production.
The new XR-V will continue to be equipped with a 1.5L engine mated to the CVT transmission, but the e:HEV hybrid version with four-wheel drive is the main force.
As an ivy product in a compact SUV, the current CR-V has been on the market for more than 4 years.
At present, the new CR-V has entered the road test stage, and it is reported that it will be officially unveiled in the second half of this year and will be listed for sale at the end of the year.
The overall design of the new car has become younger, and thanks to the increase in size, the new CR-V will be available in a 7-seat layout version to enrich the product line.
In terms of power, the new car may continue to be equipped with 1.5T fuel and 2.0L hybrid and plug-in mixing systems.
The two sisters, Xiangyu and Lingpai, are specially supplied models in China, with a wheelbase of 2730mm and more legroom in the rear than the more expensive Civic.
The mid-term revamped enjoyment domain has a bit of the shadow of the big brother Yingshipai, giving people a feeling of refinement. The interior is expected to be consistent with the current model, mainly in terms of configuration adjustments.
In terms of power, it will continue to be equipped with 1.0T fuel and 1.5L hybrid system, and the maximum power of the engine will be 122Ps and 109Ps, respectively.
The e: NS1 is a product that truly represents Honda's electric car, although the shape looks a bit like the new Binzhi, and even the body size is the same in length, width and height.
But the new car is built on a front-drive platform based on the e:N Architecture F pure electric architecture. The interior has a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster + 15.2-inch vertical screen, and the sense of technology in the car is stronger than that of Honda's fuel model.
e: The NS1 is equipped with a 150kW drive motor, the CLTC has a battery life of 510km, an acceleration time of 0-100km/h is about 8 seconds, and a 68.8kW ternary lithium battery pack is provided by CATL. The chassis was a combination of front McPherson rear torsion beams.
In recent years, the rapid pace of new products from independent brands has gradually driven the speed of joint venture brands to update products.
Civic further enriched models to boost competitiveness, and the TYPE R version to enhance the brand image; Honda's two best-selling SUVs in the domestic market: XR-V and CR-V were replaced together.
Helivar continues to make efforts in the medium-term restructuring; there is also the first pure electric platform product e: NS1. For Honda, this is a year full of market expectations.
