Today we take the latest generation of Honda Civic and the newly launched Buick Pro GS to compete, look at the new generation of the 11th generation of Civic and Buick GS series of the new masterpieces, who is more sporty, who can give you more fun to drive.
Performance testing
The shape and interior configuration of these two cars has been understood, and we will leave it for later review, starting with the power system and measured performance data of the two cars.
0-100km/h acceleration test
According to the usual test, the vehicle's ESP electronic stability system is turned off, S gear or sport mode is selected, the air conditioner is turned off, the automatic start and stop is turned off, and the speed is used to start.
The maximum speed of the Civic can only be held to a little more than 2500 rpm, the speed of the starting moment is more obvious, the tires are not slipping, the power is not fully exerted, and there is no sense of pushback during the entire acceleration process. When the speed continues to climb, the power is relatively fully released. Everyday driving feels very brisk, and its strength is mediocre in the extreme test.
From the Test Chart of the Civic, we can start with a g-value of a little more than 0.6, and the g-value decreases significantly as the speed increases. The acceleration process is very smooth and linear, and the g-value curve does not have short-lived large fluctuations like in partial automatic transmissions or dual-clutch transmissions.
100km/h-0 brake test
As can be seen from the test chart, the g-value of both vehicles is between -1.0g and -1.2g when braking at full force, and the braking force level is comparable. The measured 11th generation Civic 100 km/h speed braking stop requires 37.89 meters, while the Veyron Pro GS thanks to the better performance of the wide tire, the braking distance is 36.95 meters, the difference is nearly one meter. However, in general, the braking performance of these two cars is at an excellent level among the models of the same class.
Winding test
Pile winding is a comprehensive test of vehicle handling, including power response, steering reaction, suspension support, tire grip and other aspects, which will affect the vehicle's pile winding limit. The powertrain of these two cars is relatively similar, both are 1.5T + CVT, the output level is also very close, but the steering characteristics, chassis structure, tire model are different, so who is more relaxed when the two go around the pile?
The measured 11th generation Civic has an ultimate speed of 61km/h in an 18-meter equidistant winding pile and a Velange of 66km/h. To put it simply, Civic's base is good, the power response is fast, and the steering is calm, but the original factory adjustment is more conservative, and the tires are more collapsed. The Veyron Pro GS benefits from a chassis with watt linkages, excellent roll resistance, and the 225/45 horse MC6 tires make it even more comfortable in this high-intensity driving environment.
Noise test
Let's take a look at the sound insulation performance of these two cars. Compared with the previous generation, the new generation of Civic has made some optimizations in terms of sound insulation, and it can be clearly felt that the tire noise is greatly reduced when driving at high speeds. Compared with other models in the same class, the Veyron Pro GS has excellent interior quietness, and the Civic still has room for improvement.
The idle noise value of the two vehicles is relatively low, the engine low-speed operation noise is basically isolated, relatively speaking, the Veyron Pro GS has a better isolation of the environmental noise outside the car, but the difference between the two vehicles is only 1.5 decibels, and it is difficult for the human ear to distinguish the difference. However, when the vehicle is driven, you can clearly feel that the interior of the Veyron Pro GS is quieter, after all, at the speed values of 60km/h, 90km/h, and 120km/h, it is about 4 decibels lower than the Civic.
Differences in driving experience
Static contrast
Summary
Sportiness is a trend that never goes out of style, and there are more and more models of 150,000 active sports in the domestic market. However, limited by the price, some models just change the kit and look, the power of the weak chicken control is not interesting; some are too strong, the shape is magical and the low-cost dual clutch, reduced to a marginal role that has neither performance nor comfort. Although the Type-R version of the Civic is very explosive, the ordinary version is actually very grocery, all aspects are good, the appearance power space is both, and the daily driving is refreshing and practical. In addition to having a full performance modeling and high-configuration interior, veyron Pro GS has a super power level and creates enough driving pleasure, as a top-of-the-line price of less than 160,000 yuan, it is obviously very good value for money.
