The front face of the new car is equipped with Honda's classic through-type front grille, the middle net shape is relatively flat, the interior is filled with black trim panels, and the wing-type LED headlights on both sides are also very familiar to us, but the flowing LED turn signals that the car has are a fresh point, in addition, the embedded design of the headlights group also highlights its sparkling style, which looks more active and less rigid after lighting.

Honda Haoying's interior seats are wrapped in imitation leather + leather materials, and the function is less than for Ford Ruiji, which lacks the two-way adjustment of the height of the passenger seat. The front seats of the new model are wide and thick, and the vertical strip-like stitching design creates a luxurious atmosphere, although it is not equipped with seat ventilation, but the details are still perforated, which enhances the breathability of the seat to a certain extent.
The rear seats in the Ford Sharp Edge car are of the same level as the front row in terms of material application and workmanship, and the rear side position has a certain degree of inverted, but the middle seat backrest is hard, the adult ride is not very comfortable, and the center of the platform can accommodate the feet of adults, but the height is slightly higher.
