Recently, the professor obtained Dongfeng Honda's 2022 new product plan from relevant channels. In 2022, Dongfeng Honda will launch as many as 11 new cars, including Civic HATCHBACK Edition, new CR-V, new XR-V, e:NS1, etc., the most anticipated of which is that the Civic TYPE R will also enter domestic sales.
Dongfeng Honda will welcome its first wave of new vehicles in April, including the new Hemisphere and the all-new pure electric SUV e:NS1.
The former as a mid-term revamped model, from the declaration information, the appearance has changed significantly, the front face design is close to the Civic, and the interior design has not been announced. In terms of power, it will continue to be equipped with a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter hybrid system.
Xiangyu and Guangqi Honda's Lingpai are brother models, as the main family compact car, in the large space and hybrid system is its biggest selling point. However, compared with Corolla and Leiling, which are also the main hybrids, the price of the Hybrid is higher, and the three-cylinder engine equipped with the entry model is not highly accepted by users, so its sales are not too outstanding.
e: NS1 is a new pure electric vehicle model of Dongfeng Honda, positioned in a compact SUV, which can be regarded as a pure electric version of XR-V. From the current information, the new car may have two power versions, namely 134kW and 150kW; CLTC mileage is 420km and 510km, respectively.
From the perspective of the power data and mileage of the new car, e:NS1 has basically reached the same level, and if the price is around 150,000, it should be able to snatch away some users from many new power brands.
In August, two models, the Civic Sharp Hybrid, and the new XR-V (Overseas Binzhi) models, the former focusing on the powertrain, are expected to be equipped with Honda's 1.5-liter i-MMD hybrid system. After joining the hybrid model, the home attributes of this generation of Civic have been further strengthened, making Civic's competitiveness more comprehensive.
The XR-V is a new replacement, and overseas models have been introduced as early as the beginning of 21 years. Referring to overseas models, the appearance style of the new car has changed significantly, the front face is more like an electric car, and the tail design is close to the UR-V.
The interior also adopts a new family design style, similar to the Civic, equipped with a full LCD instrument and a floating central control screen, compared to the current model, the interior is obviously more refined and stylish. In terms of power, the new car is expected to be available in fuel version and hybrid version.
XR-V and Binzhi are completely dominant in the 150,000 joint venture SUV market, although positioned as small SUVs, but their space is comparable to most compact SUVs, and in the same level of joint venture SUVs, its price is also very close to the people, so sales have been very good. If the new car can maintain the same price as the current model, I believe it will still be loved by consumers!
The Honda CR-V will also be replaced this year, as one of the ace models of Dongfeng Honda, it is worth looking forward to! At present, there is not much information about the new car, but as a replacement model, the appearance and interior of the new car will be relatively large upgrades, and it is expected to increase the 7-seat version of the model, and the power side will continue to provide fuel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, which are expected to be unveiled in September.

In the fourth quarter, the new Civic HATCHBACK fuel version and sharp hybrid version of the model will be launched, compared to the sedan version, the most eye-catching thing about the new car is the highly personalized sneaky hatchback body shape, the taillights and exhaust air use a new design, more emphasis on the sense of sport. It is worth mentioning that the new Civic HATCHBACK is likely to provide manual models to make up for the gap in the manual transmission of sedan models.
And the heaviest Civic TYPE R will also be unveiled in December, it is not yet certain whether the new car will be imported or CKD in the future, but compared to the previous parallel import models, the price will definitely drop sharply, the professor speculated that the starting price should be around 400,000. The new car will be powered by a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 320 horsepower.
In addition, Dongfeng Honda will also launch a mid-term redesign of Honda LIFE (November) and a new SUV model (or domestic HR-V).
It is foreseeable that dongfeng honda's products will be fully upgraded this year, the competitiveness will be comprehensively improved, and the introduction of more new cars will further consolidate the market position of Dongfeng Honda.
