In the sports car field, honda Civic is definitely a model of success, and many new car listings revolve around The Civic, such as the new Xiaosheng Trumpchi Shadow Leopard. Of course, it is precisely because of the emergence of the Civic that the market will be more lively, and more car companies will begin to pay attention to mechanical tuning, so that the engine squeezes out more powerful horsepower. Compared with the 10th generation version, the new 11th generation Civic has actually changed a lot; the biggest feeling for me is to cancel the 1.0T three-cylinder, even if the 180TURBO version is equipped with 1.5T low power, but the "four-cylinder" sounds much more comfortable. In this issue, we will take the 2022 240TURBO CVT burning version as an example to see if its performance can continue the title of "ghost fire".
Compared with the 10th generation, the new 11th generation obviously changed the calm route and moved closer to the Accord visually. The front of the car is no longer very aggressive, but the flat and low design effect with the larger opening of the forward grille, coupled with the slender light set, still shows a sense of sport. It is worth mentioning that the 240TURBO version of the standard front fog lights are also equipped with LED light sources, enough to see that the new version of the configuration will not be low!
Come to the side of the body can see the Use of more black design elements, the roof of the shark fin antenna, door handles, window seals, exterior mirrors are all black treatment, slip back shape with double colored wheels, coupled with tail fixed tail fins, and open double exhaust, are the embodiment of sports.
Entering the car, I have to say that from the body of the new Civic, it can be seen that Honda finally pays attention to design! The center console adopts an asymmetrical design method, the air conditioning outlet is equipped with a chrome mesh through structure, with the appearance of piano paint, the adjustment method is also more clever, and the cheap feeling of the interior is obviously gone. In addition, the 240TURBO version is equipped with a full LCD instrument as standard, the central control screen size is also larger than the 10th generation version (the whole series is 9 inches), equipped with Honda Connect 3.0 system, with the Internet of Vehicles and OTA remote upgrades, supportIng Baidu CarLife mobile phone Interconnection; among which voice voice control can recognize Sichuan and Cantonese dialects, the car process has also been greatly improved.
In terms of functional configuration, the new Civic is optimized for active and passive security configurations. Compared with the 10th generation, the rear side airbags and the front main and secondary knee airbags are added, and the driving process is equipped with L2-level driver assistance system, as well as passive protection for pedestrians, while the body uses ultra-high-strength steel of more than 1500 MPa, and the safety is improved. In addition, such as keyless entry, one-key start / remote start, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, reversing image is also the standard of the whole series, the minimum configuration is finally no longer to do nothing.
In terms of space, the wheelbase of the new Civic has been increased, with a length, width and height of 4674/1802/1415mm and a wheelbase of 2735mm. The rear space in the car is relatively large in the same level, and the height of 178cm can obtain more than 2 punches of leg space, and the head space also has a large margin. The low-to-mid-range version adopts a single sunroof, and the secondary top and top versions use a panoramic sunroof, which can give rear passengers a good view. The conventional volume of the trunk is 495 to 500 liters, which can meet daily use, but only some models support the rear seat ratio.
In terms of performance, the 1.5T engine equipped with the 2022 Civic series, matched with the CVT gearbox, not only cancels the 1.0T three-cylinder, but also cancels the manual version. The low-power version has a book parameter of 95kW/180N·m and a maximum horsepower of 129 horses; the high-power version has a book parameter of 134kW/240N·m and a maximum horsepower of 182 horses, which is a significant improvement over the 10th generation version. Different from the lateral competitors using turbo + dual clutch, the power response of the Civic is relatively heeled, the power output is very linear, the neDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.5 ~ 5.9L / 100km, and the fuel consumption is still very low. The suspension part is still a structure with independent suspension in front and rear, but what feels most is that the sound insulation level of the new version has been greatly improved, and the high-speed cruise car is no longer noisy.
Finally, can the new Civic continue the title of "Ghost Fire"? The appearance of the new car is less than the personality and publicity of 10 generations, the interior pays attention to the design effect, the wheelbase is lengthened to further expand the rear space, and then there is the improvement of the functional configuration and the active and passive safety configuration, the new Civic is more close to the home practical, but it can still attract more young users through the surface and the inside, and has a clear positioning of the crowd.
