For young consumers after the 90s, if they plan to buy a car, Civic must be difficult to get around, and I am no exception. When I went to see the car with a budget of 150,000, the first car I saw was the Honda Civic. This budget to buy Civic, you can buy the 240TURBO entry-level model, that is, the 1.5T high-power version, the power parameters are more eye-catching, the acceleration is also relatively fast. However, before I bought the Civic, a friend recommended me another model, that is, dongfeng fengshen dark night Yixuan MAX, he said that the positioning of this car and the Civic is more similar, perhaps can also meet the needs of my young man.
In terms of pricing, Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX, as a domestic car that regards youth and sports as its own label, has entered the automobile market with a price of 127,900-137,900. With a budget of 150,000 to buy this model, the top version can almost be fully landed. Honda Civic's pricing is relatively high, the price range is 119,900-169,900, of which the 1.5T high-power version of the 240TURBO model is the lowest 142,900, and 150,000 is almost impossible to land in full.
In terms of design, the design of the Honda Civic is not ugly to be honest, and it can even be described as "classic and good-looking". The front face grille of the Civic is not large, and the eleventh generation of Civic also performs a split treatment for the grille, eliminating the original large-size chrome trim. Honda's classic flying wing headlights are retained on both sides, and the light set is flat and the LED light source is added. The side is the classic slipback design, which has become mature and beautiful with the development of several generations of Civic car series, and the tail is a simple bilateral two-out exhaust.
Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX design language adopts the concept of "black gold armor", and the main colors of the entire body are black and gold. If it is a simple black and gold collocation, in fact, it is quite common and quite tacky, so the black gold of the car is not really black and gold, and the black of which is matt matte black, and the visual effect at first glance is like black gray; gold is not bright gold but dark gold, the whole tone is biased towards deep and calm, and the visual effect is indeed unusual after matching with each other. In detail, the car uses a large front grille with a golden spoiler wind blade structure added to the grille, while the rear can see the track-class rear spoiler kit and the track-grade bilateral four-out tail throat shape exhaust. The entire body appearance seems to be draped in a "black gold armor"
In the car, Honda Civic is more designed, below the suspension screen, you can see the air conditioning outlet through the design, this air conditioning outlet shape has characteristics, using metal texture + hollow hole. On the high-end model, Honda Civic also added some red stitching on the basis of black leather, which enhanced the sporty atmosphere in the car.
Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX's interior is coated with cool black suede, a material that is rare in 150,000-priced joint venture cars and has the feeling of a performance car. The interior of the car is also integrated with black gold elements, such as the original seat belt is given a gold seat belt; above the air outlet of the through-type air conditioner, there is a dark gold chrome trim decoration; the sports seat also has gold stitching and the night exclusive embroidery logo, and so on.
As for the power, honda Civic's 1.5T engine is really good, especially the high-power version that can be bought by 150,000, with a maximum power of 182 horsepower, a peak torque of 242 Nm, and a deep throttle to feel the push back feeling brought by this 1.5T engine.
Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX's power provides two options, one is the 1.5T fuel version, the other is a hybrid version, they are integrated with the Dongfeng Fengshen Mach power technology. Among them, the maximum power of the 1.5T fuel version is 190 horsepower, and the peak torque is 300 Nm, which will be slightly stronger than the Honda Civic's 1.5T in parameters. In terms of transmission, it does not use a CVT gearbox like the Honda Civic, but is equipped with a 7-speed DCT transmission.
As for the hybrid version, with the blessing of the 1.5T engine and electric motor, it can break the 100 in 6.81s. In terms of fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of the hybrid version is only 5.29L, and the fuel tank volume is 52L, which is equivalent to running 1000 kilometers under full fuel. As for the chassis, it is a chassis tuned by the CTCC champion team, which adopts a four-wheel unsustrained structure to ensure that the body can feel the track-level driving experience during daily driving.
Finally, as an "evergreen tree" in the automotive market, Honda Civic has good design and power. However, the Honda Civic is more expensive, the price of bare cars is relatively high, and the economic pressure will be greater for our young people with limited budgets. Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX is relatively affordable, the pricing is not so high, but it has a stylish personality design and strong power. If it were you, the Honda Civic and the Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Max, how would you choose?
