The Spring Festival has passed, but the song of the New Year is still echoing, and the domestic automobile field has ushered in a new round of sales accumulation this year. In 2022, the sales results of many car brands in January have been released, and in addition to the models we are familiar with, there are many new faces that have not been on the market for a long time.
The Honda model is a new model launched in December 2021, and while it grasps the "tail" of 2021, it also ushers in 2022. This model has had a lot of attention before it was launched, not only because it is a sister model of the Civic, but also because of the name of this model.
However, the all-new model has little to do with the Honda model, which has been discontinued before, but more because the product positioning of this model has obvious sporty characteristics. Since the launch of this model, it has received a lot of sales. According to statistics, Guangqi Honda's sales in January 2022 reached 78,489 vehicles, of which 9,215 vehicles contributed.
Although this model did not get the sales of more than 10,000 in January, it is relatively rare on the market to have such sales in such a short period of time. The style emphasizes the sports attributes, but also emphasizes intelligence, the product continues the gene of "the king of the front-drive performance", and has received a large number of players who are keen on performance.
The type and the eleventh generation Civic actually belong to the sister model, the biggest difference between the type and the eleventh generation Civic is actually the appearance design, compared with the two models, the style is more youthful and energetic, although the same continues the Honda family design language, but in the aura and the eleventh generation Civic is very different, which also reflects the "age" difference between the birth period of the two models.
Although the model has a swooping posture on the front of the car, the front face is not too flat. The grille of the model is a narrow and long silhouette, and the two sides are directly connected to the headlight group. Located under the grille are airflow evacuation openings, flanked by cosmetic sections similar to the shape of fangs, which balance the proportions of the front face of the model to a visually stable state.
From the side, the body has a slender visual effect, which is mainly derived from the downward posture of the roof. The top of this model moves smoothly, extending all the way to the rear. The rear has a small blackened tail wing, which is the same design as the eleventh generation Civic, all to enhance the quality of the whole vehicle.
The model is equipped with the high-power power of the Civic, but the power of the model is single, the whole series is 1.5T displacement, the horsepower value provides 182 horses, and the torque is 240 Nm. Unlike the eleventh-generation Civic, the model retains a manual model and does not fully cover the automatic gear on the version.
The manual transmission version is the entry-level manual exclusive version, the guide price is 129,900 yuan, matching the 6-speed manual transmission, and the rest are automatic version. In fact, the model left a manual version of the model in order to retain a manual control pleasure for some player users, after all, the playability of this model is not low.
But in addition, the styling and the eleventh generation Civic are the same in terms of positioning, both are entry-level performance cars. And the two models are basically the same in the interior design, especially in the center console, can not be said to be irrelevant, can only be said to be exactly the same. Therefore, the type and the eleventh generation of Civic complement each other in some places.
summary:
The official guide price of the type is in the range of 129,900 yuan to 166,900 yuan, and its product price also has some overlap with the eleventh generation Civic. However, after retaining a manual version, the model provided options for many users who were obsessed with the eleventh generation Of Civic manual version. Although the model is young compared to the Civic, the brand's technical reserves are deep, so even if this model is still in the market test period, but with the Civic as a lesson for the future, the product strength of the model will not be bad. The complementarity between the two models also further expands Honda's market share, and it is not expected that the market position of the model will be low in the near future.
