Integra, a very interesting model in the Honda system, has a dazzling history and has experienced the decline of discontinuation. Recently, Honda resurrected INTEGRA, the North American market was handed over to Acura, which positioned itself as a luxury brand, while the domestic market was introduced by Guangqi Honda and named after the style. Both are based on the new generation of Honda Civic, but the design style is very different. North America is too far away, Acura is too unpopular, not to mention, this time for the Guangqi Honda type to have a good chat, especially the daily use of this car convenience, we will conduct a comprehensive test to see how it performs.
Test vehicle: 2022 GUANGQI Honda model 240TURBO CVT Phantom Night Deluxe Edition
Official guidance price: 157,900 yuan
First, the functional configuration test link
The keyless entry system drops the lock by touching a horizontal strip dent behind the door handle and automatically unlocks when the hand is inserted into the handle. In tests, the unlocking and unlocking process was smooth, but only the front door was equipped with this feature. At the same time, the one-button start button of the Guangqi Honda model is placed on the right side of the steering wheel, which is large in size and equipped with a red backlight, and is not easy to be touched by mistake.
The rearview mirror adjustment is controlled by buttons + levers, located in front of the main driver's side window lift switch. When adjusting the mirrors, you need to adjust the left or right mirror by adjusting the levers marked with "L" and "R", and then adjust the mirror angle by using the rear arrow keys. There is no phenomenon that the key operation and the mirror feedback are not synchronized during the adjustment process.
The opening switch of the bonnet is located in the lower left of the front of the cockpit, and to open the bonnet, you need to first pull the handle in the car, then pull the locking mechanism in front of the bonnet, and finally lift it. The bonnet support lever adopts manual support lever, and the opening process is slightly cumbersome.
Second, the comfort configuration test link
The front seats are equipped with an electric adjustment function, the main driver supports front and rear adjustment, backrest adjustment and 4-way high and low adjustment, the adjustable angle is moderate, while the co-driver does not support high and low adjustment, only supports conventional 4-way adjustment, and the adjustable angle is slightly less rich. At the same time, not only the sub-top model tested this time, but also the Guangqi Honda model is not equipped with seat heating function even if it is the top version, which is a little regrettable.
In the main driver's seat test, the maximum adjustable range between the front and the end of the driver's seat of the GUANGQI Honda model is 24cm, and the adjustable front and rear distance and the height adjustment range are normal, which can meet the diverse needs of drivers and occupants of different sizes.
The multi-function steering wheel supports up and down + front and rear four-way manual adjustment, after measurement, the steering wheel front and rear stretch distance is 4cm, the up and down adjustable angle is 9.2 °, the adjustable range is moderate, so that the driver can easily find a comfortable driving posture.
The three seats in the rear row all provide headrests, but the middle headrest cannot be adjusted independently, but fortunately, the headrest area is large and can provide basic head support. In addition, the area and function of the headrests on the left and right sides are normal, and the height can be adjusted independently and relatively soft, and the comfort can be guaranteed.
The front central armrest box is leather-wrapped and covers an excellent area. In terms of flexibility, the armrests do not support up and down or front and rear adjustments due to their integrated design with the central channel, and cannot provide effective support for the driver's elbows when holding the steering wheel at three or nine o'clock.
Third, the multimedia configuration test link
Guangqi Honda type grid is equipped with a 9-inch multimedia touch screen as standard, in addition to the sliding menu of the main interface, there are shortcut icons for many functions at the bottom, and the left side of the screen is also equipped with "HOME", return and other physical buttons A volume knob, the operation is simple and intuitive, easy to use.
For the most used radio function we also tested, click the "FM" icon of the main interface to enter the radio function interface, you can see the radio station and function icons are arranged in an orderly manner at the bottom of the screen, which not only has the traditional manual search function, but also contains automatic scanning of radio stations, after scanning and then click on the right side of the radio list to see the current location can be searched for all radio frequencies.
The Guangqi Honda Model is equipped with four USB charging ports, located above the front storage slots and below the rear air conditioning outlets. At the same time, the car also provides a 12V power interface for the front row. In addition, we also tested the voltage and current of the USB interface, the measured voltage is 4.9V, the current of the data interface is 0.91A, and the charging interface current is 1.48A.
Guangqi Honda's navigation system quickly associates relevant information based on keywords when entering the destination. Once confirmed, information such as the planning of the three routes and the display of the estimated mileage and time will be provided for the driver's reference. Officially start navigation, the guidance information in addition to displaying on the multimedia touch screen, can also be mapped to the full LCD meter, easy to view.
Fourth, the space configuration test link
As a space test closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "The Sports Car of the Explosive Gene Test Drive Guangqi Honda Type", we have already experienced its riding space, and this time we will evaluate the same storage space and its convenience from the same more contact in daily life.
Overall, the number of storage space and volume performance of the Guangqi Honda model grid are remarkable, but the limit device equipped with the front cup holder does not appear in the rear row, and the conventional 600ml water bottle is easy to dangle.
The front/rear door handles are all back-covered and can be used as storage slots. The front central armrest compartment is also layered inside, and the sliding storage slot above greatly increases the flexibility of space. In addition, the rear of the front seats is not equipped with a regular back pocket, but thanks to more storage space, it will not have too much impact on storage capacity.
The trunk of the Guangqi Honda model supports a variety of ways to open such as in-car switches, trunk buttons, and remote control keys. The interior of the trunk can be seen to see the obvious phenomenon of wheel arch encroachment, resulting in a small space performance is not regular. It is worth mentioning that above the trunk you can see two quick handles for the rear seats to fall down, which is very practical, but pulling the rear seat of the pull handle can not directly recline the seat backrest, but requires manual assistance.
For the basic value of the trunk of guangqi Honda's grid, we also measured it, and the length of the opening was 53cm, the width of the opening was 120cm, the depth of the trunk was 98cm, and the vertical height of the trunk platform and the internal roof was 55cm.
Fifth, the safety configuration test link
In the vehicle front and rear vision test, all seats in the car have been adjusted to the lowest state, and the measured data will have some deviations from the normal use of the driver, for reference only.
In the data testing session, we measured and compared the field of view that is most commonly used in the daily use of the vehicle. In the blind spot test session directly in front of the field of view, we used the 70 cm high pile bucket as a reference object, and then adjusted the relative position of the vehicle until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver's seat. At this time, the distance between the front of the car and the pile barrel is measured, and the smaller the value, the smaller the blind spot in the front field of vision.
After testing, the final measured data of the pile barrel and the front of the car was 195cm, and the front vision of the front of the car was quite excellent, and the measured results were at an average level compared with the same level of models tested.
In the rear vision test, the pile bucket is still fixed and placed, and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be observed, and the measured distance is 2523cm.
When testing the field of view of the exterior mirror, the tester first asks the tester to stand at a vertical distance of 10m of the left and right rearview mirrors, and then begins to move to the left and right sides until it appears at the outermost edge of the rearview mirror on both sides, and the lateral distance is measured. Then, calculated by a formula, the angle angle of the mirror's field of view can be derived. The larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of the mirror field, and conversely, the larger the blind spot of the mirror field.
The rearview mirrors on both sides of the Guangqi Honda model are ordinary mirrors, but the measured results of 27° on the left and 22° on the right can be said to be quite excellent, providing a very good side rear view, and the viewing range is at the upstream level in the same class of models tested.
Even if the Guangqi Honda model tested this time is a sub-top model, it is not equipped with a reversing radar system, and only the top model of the whole series provides this function, but the automatic transmission model is equipped with a reversing image as standard, which belongs to the conventional operation of Japanese brand models. Guangqi Honda's reversing image system supports follow-up auxiliary lines and multi-view display modes, especially the vertical view of the rear of the car is very intuitive, which is convenient for the driver to grasp the distance from the vehicle or obstacle behind when parking.
In daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or U-turns, and the minimum turning radius of the vehicle is very important at this time. The minimum turning radius refers to the circular radius of the trajectory that rolls over the support plane in the center of the outer steering wheel when the steering wheel is turned to the limit position and the car is steering at the lowest stable speed. The smaller the turning radius, the better the maneuverability of the car. Know the minimum turning radius of your car, and know what to expect when the vehicle turns or makes a U-turn to avoid scratching and other situations. After actual measurement, the turning radius of guangqi Honda's model is 5m, which is at an average level compared with the tested models of the same level, and it is easier to complete the U-turn and other actions.
Guangqi Honda's front/rear compartments are equipped with folding handles at the top of the car, which is very helpful for people with limited mobility, and can also play a certain safety auxiliary role on bumpy roads or fast driving.
summary
Through the test, it is not difficult to find that the overall performance of the Guangqi Honda model has a good standard, simple and intuitive multimedia system, rich storage space and excellent front and rearview mirror field of view, can make daily use of the car easy and comfortable. However, in terms of configuration, the lack of mainstream configurations such as front/rear parking radar and front seat heating makes potential consumers have more concerns when they finally make up their minds to buy, fortunately, these configurations can be installed later, the cost is not high, and combined with its rich active/passive safety configuration and auxiliary driving functions, it seems that it can also be understood, after all, the overall configuration performance has been much higher than the previous Japanese cars. Overall, the practical performance of Guangqi Honda's style is relatively outstanding, coupled with its fashionable and dynamic design style, I believe it can win the love of many young consumers.
