On December 16 last year, GUANGC Honda's new compact sedan, the INTEGA model, was officially launched, with a total of six models launched, and the official price range was 129,900-166,900 yuan. The type can be seen as the sister car of the Civic, focusing on young consumer groups. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of Guangqi Honda's model? Is it worth buying? This issue of Extreme Car Pickers gives you the answer.
Let's look at the advantages first
The powertrain is the first advantage of the model, which is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine as standard, with a maximum power of 182 horsepower and a peak torque of 240 Nm. Although the sister model Civic is also equipped with a 1.5T engine, the entry-level model uses a 1.5T low-power engine, and the maximum power is only 129 horsepower, which is slightly lacking. After all, for young consumers, horsepower is justice.
Even compared with competitors Lingdu, Sagitar, and Fox, the power parameters of the type also have certain advantages, coupled with no small potential and playability, this engine can be said to be not only powerful, but also stable and reliable.
It is worth mentioning that the model also provides a manual transmission model, equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, which can not only better realize the potential of the engine, but also provide an additional choice for consumers who like to control.
The second advantage is the appearance value, as a model that focuses on the new generation of young consumers, the value of the face is naturally very important. Compared with the new Civic, the appearance of the type is more youthful and dynamic, especially the shape of the headlights, which is more lethal than the Civic and more in line with the tastes of young consumers.
The tail light is the biggest difference between the type and the Civic in the rear of the car, the type of the grid is the "L" design, compared to more concise, after lighting is also very recognizable. The lower part of the type compartment also adopts a bilateral exhaust layout of two out, eliminating the need for late modification.
In addition to the young shape, the color of the type is also very avant-garde, in addition to the conventional color matching, the "emerald blue" and "hot yellow" color matching provided by the type is very trendy, dynamic, and more recognizable. In addition, the model sports version of the model has also been blackened to further enhance the sports atmosphere.
The third advantage is the configuration, the type compartment is equipped with lcd dashboard and 9-inch central control screen, although the size of the central control screen is not large, but the interior is equipped with Honda CONNECT3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system, the control interface is clear and easy to understand, the response is smooth, and the built-in car interconnection, remote car control and other functions, but also equipped with mobile phone remote control, digital key, etc., which is still relatively rare in the joint venture brand.
The safety configuration is equally outstanding, with 10 airbags as standard. In addition to the minimum equipment, the rest of the models are also equipped with Honda SENSING safety super sense as standard, built-in ACC active cruise system, collision mitigation braking system, lane keeping assist system, etc., which can effectively increase driving safety.
Let's talk about the inadequacies
Having said the advantages of the type, let's look at the shortcomings. The main disadvantage of the type is sound insulation, which is also a problem that Honda cars have always talked about. The tire noise and wind noise suppression of the type are more general, and there will be obvious wind noise in the position of the mirror left and right when running at high speed, and the tires of the type are also more picky asphalt, and the tire noise on the old asphalt road is very obvious, which will affect the comfort in the car.
How to choose the six models?
A total of six models were launched this time, priced at 129,900-166,900 yuan, and the whole series only had 240 TURBO one power. Needless to say, there is only one model to choose from. If you consider automatic transmission, the remaining five models of the author mainly promote the deluxe version (152,900 yuan), although the first two models are not expensive, but the comfort configuration is more general, the seat can only be manually adjusted. The two high-end models are on the high price, and there is not much discount at present, which is not as cost-effective as the low-end Accord after the discount. Therefore, the price-appropriate configuration is also enough for daily use of the luxury version of the model is the most cost-effective, the most recommended.
summary:
The previous generation of Civic has achieved good sales results by virtue of its advantages such as high appearance, but the appearance of this generation of Civic is too commercial and lacks a sense of sportiness. However, the emergence of Guangqi Honda's style has brought better choices to young consumers, its appearance is more youthful, dynamic, and the configuration is also advancing with the times, and it has a certain advantage in the same level. The most worth mentioning is that the model also provides manual models, which increases a lot of playability, you know, in the current situation where automatic models are popular, it is not easy to provide manual models. Although there is still a little bit of a deficiency, in general, the model is a model worth recommending.
