Unit colleague Xiao Li just came to the company this year, as a college student who just graduated, the budget for buying a car in his hand is not much, only more than 90,000 yuan, under the influence of his father, the first car chose the joint venture model Honda LIFE, this car is Fit's sister car, with a high degree of heat and the latest design, so chose Honda LIFE, but, after two months of driving, and then opened to other colleagues of Arrizo 5PLUS, Xiao Li felt that at the same price, the gap between domestic and joint venture is so big.
Honda LIFE design has two versions, respectively the ordinary version and the sports model, honda LIFE design the biggest advantage is a good combination of home and sports style, honeycomb grille, cute headlight components, plus the body above the rear protruding trim, this design is really a male and female eat, home and dynamic dual style is very pleasing, plus the vehicle length of only 4 meters 1 size, the appearance is particularly flexible, on the contrary, The Appearance of Arrizo 5PLUS and Honda LIFE is very similar , are using a more rounded body, but from a hatchback to a sedan, the length of the car also exceeded 4 meters 6, is a standard compact sedan size, but in the front face, Arrizo 5PLUS is more aggressive, large size grille and horizontal strip chrome trim, so that the front face looks more full, sporty, the rear also uses the most popular through-type taillights and blackening treatment, the following use of bilateral single exhaust design, it looks more symmetrical.
And to the interior, the advantage of Honda LIFE is that the configuration and space utilization given is very in line with ergonomics, from the steering wheel to the car machine system, and even every space is appropriate, the A-pillar small triangular window part has also been hollowed out, although the workmanship is comparable to a compact car, but the material itself is very cheap, the low-end version of the model does not even have a car system, and the plastic accessories are very serious.
Compared with Honda LIIFE's low-cost plastic interior, Arrizo 5PLUS's workmanship materials are more advanced, and some soft materials are used in the central control and door panels, the combination of this composite material brings a certain sense of grade to the whole vehicle, the steering wheel also uses a more moving flat design, compared to Honda LIFE, the biggest advantage of Arrizo 5PLUS is still in the car system, the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel has a very clear display, Although the car function is as difficult to use as the Honda LIFE, it still has great advantages in terms of entertainment.
Looking at the power again, Honda LIFE is the same as The Fit, Still using the traditional 1.5-liter self-priming engine, this L15B5 engine is also a legendary presence in Honda, 131 horsepower to drive a small car is really fun to drive, with the CVT stepless gearbox, the power response of the whole car is really like flowing water, coupled with a relatively short body, in the congested road conditions are very smooth, but the chassis is still slightly loose, in the high-speed road conditions can obviously feel the body fluttering, on the one hand, due to the small size of the body, on the other hand, the tire width is only 185mm, so that the upper limit of the extreme control ability is very low, and the sound insulation and noise reduction ability is not good If you are driving a Honda LIFE in the city, it is very competent, and once on the highway, the larger bodywork has more advantages with the more stable Arrizo 5PLUS.
Arrizo 5PLUS is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, the maximum horsepower of 156 horses, although the Arrizo 5PLUS also uses a CVT gearbox, but due to greater torque and longer body size, making the Arrizo 5PLUS driving texture more stable, after all, the level is different, but the Arrizo 5PLUS in the front section of the throttle is too stuffy, the rapid acceleration ability needs to be improved, did not play the advantage of turbocharging, the main advantage is the ability to accelerate again, and the Arrizo 5PLUS uses a multi-point electric injection fuel supply method, which is more advantageous than Honda's life cylinder direct injection, which has been tested , The fuel consumption of The 100 km of Arrizo 5PLUS is about 6.9 liters, while the Honda LIFE is about 6 liters, and the fuel consumption of the 1.5T engine is comparable to 1.5L, which is not easy, almost the same price, in exchange for stronger power and more diversified use scenarios, Arrizo 5PLUS still has a great advantage.
Conclusion: 90,000 yuan to carry a Honda LIFE, two months later to drive the Arrizo 5PLUS, the owner said that the gap is obvious. Through the analysis of the appearance, power and price of both sides, we can find that as a small car, the minimum price of Honda LIFE has been similar to the highest match of Arrizo 5PLUS, and in terms of specific configuration, Arrizo 5PLUS not only has many more configurations than Honda LIFE, but also has a crushing advantage in the body level, and Honda LIFE has a series of advantages such as low fuel consumption, which are constantly being chased by domestic cars, so unless it is Honda's die-hard fans, Then in the current price segment to buy a car, it is more appropriate to choose The Arrizo 5PLUS.
