At the end of 2021, GUANGQI Honda model was officially listed. Inheriting the orthodox blood of Honda's legendary model INTEGRA, the delicate and pure sports style is still charming.
Within two weeks of listing, the number of orders for the model exceeded 10,000 units. In January 2022, the monthly sales of the model grid reached 9215 vehicles, achieving a "good start". In the unprecedentedly competitive domestic sports car market, such excellent results are rare, which is indispensable to the faith of the "INTEGRA" brand, but it is also inseparable from the hard core strength of the type.
After all, INTEGRA, born in 1985, has been synonymous with luxury and performance. Whether it is the second generation OFTEGRA that opened the legend of "VTEC is the best", or the first four-door TypeR model of Honda equipped with the B18C "red-headed machine", the third generation OF INTEGRA, after many years, it still makes JDM fans around the world flock. It can be said that INTEGRA represents the best era of Honda, and the type intended to continue the legend will be particularly heavy on its shoulders.
Fortunately, the type has done it. Under the new architectural concept of Honda Architecture, the type not only retains the most "original" sports gene of INTEGRA, but also introduces Honda pioneer intelligent technology, and achieves a comprehensive breakthrough in active and passive safety, making the type a good solution for young consumers to pursue all-round satisfaction of spirit and senses.
Athletic performance as always
Strong visual impact often becomes the first impression of young users on the type.
Not only the two highly recognizable exclusive body colors of hot yellow and emerald blue, the low hood design, the angular body curve and the design details such as bilateral single exhaust are not in line with the aesthetic habits of young people today - both "tide" and "tide" uniqueness.
Entering the car, the full LCD instrument and the air outlet of the through-type air conditioner are the first to come into view, while the honeycomb mesh alloy air outlet design, high-quality interior panels and sporty color-blocking seats all highlight the sporty style and exquisite charm of the style.
As the successor to Honda's legendary model INTEGRA, the power aspect is naturally a stylistic strength. It is reported that the whole series of models is equipped with a 240TURBO high-power turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 182Ps and a peak torque of 240N·m, and through the low-pressure loss supercharged piping and high rigidity crankshaft and oil pan design, it can effectively reduce turbo hysteresis and inertia loss, bringing a more enjoyable acceleration experience.
In addition, the model also prepared an MT manual transmission version and a cool black sports SPORT version for the "performance control" models. In particular, the retention of manual models is not only a classic tribute to INTEGRA, but also a profound insight into the needs of today's young people. The Cool Black Sport SPORT model is equipped with an original sports design kit and matches 18-inch cutting wheels for excellent sporty performance.
Pioneer technology quality builds the bottom
In fact, on the basis of adhering to the performance style, the type also has more thinking about the quality travel of young consumers, which is also one of the differentiated advantages of the type that is ahead of other competitors in the market.
As honda architecture's new model, the model is equipped with the full-featured Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system and the latest Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system, which puts the safety of drivers and occupants and road traffic participants, including pedestrians, first.
Especially in terms of passive safety, the full range of models comes standard with 10 airbags and a pedestrian protection system, which is extremely rare not only in its class, but also in higher-level models. At the same time, its overall body is also based on a high rigidity platform, through the application of high tension, lightweight steel and structural strengthening, so that the new model has a breakthrough in the previous high strength, lightweight, high safety body.
It is understood that the ultra-high-strength steel plate with a tensile strength of more than 980MPa accounts for 24.5% of the whole body, and the thermoformed steel plate with tensile strength of 1500MPa accounts for 10.6%. Among them, the key force positions such as the A-pillar, the middle layer of the B-pillar, the sill, and the front beam of the roof of the body are all made of hot-formed steel plates with tensile strength of more than 1500MPa, and while building a high-strength "bone", the torsional rigidity of the type is increased by 8%, and the bending rigidity is increased by 13%, achieving better dynamic performance and handling.
In addition, in order to meet the young people's desire for advanced intelligence, GUANGQI Honda also specially tailored Bose's unique Centerpoint surround sound system for the model, which is equipped with 12 high-performance speakers, using 12-channel digital power amplifiers, and after 4 years of careful design and exclusive tuning by Bose and Honda engineers, bringing young people a concert hall-like immersive feeling.
It can be said that while the type perfectly inherits the INTEGRA blood gene, it also creates new possibilities for the continuation of this classic model. For the stylistic model, the preference of young consumers for sporty performance and the demand for quality travel have laid the market position that can be seen in the future. The in-depth insight of the style into the minds of young people at present, combined with Guangqi Honda's consistent adherence to quality, has greatly improved the product height of "young people's first car". While the two achieve each other, the type will also become a force that cannot be underestimated on the road of GUANGQI Honda towards the base of tens of millions of users. Text/Shen Lixin
