Oil separation coordination, catapult start, handsome gear shift, people and vehicles in one, full speed galloping... In many classic film works such as "Head Text D" and "Fast and Furious", manually blocking chariots is a pivotal presence.
As the simplest, most primitive, and one of the most efficient forms of gear shifting, manual transmission is still the "favorite" of many players who love machinery and control. In the seemingly hectic operation, the driver enjoys the purest driving pleasure.
However, in today's automatic transmission is popular, and even the trend of automobile intelligence, a manual transmission model that is easy to open, pure, and can awaken the soul of driving is rare. In response to consumers' desire for performance sentiment and pure driving control, Guangqi Honda launched an exclusive MT version of INTEGRA at the end of last year, attracting countless fans with a unique sports charm.
Behind the hot orders, at the end of February this year, the first batch of integra 240TURBO exclusive MT version has been delivered to consumers. Along with this, there are also praises on social platforms: "Less than 130,000 prices, feel like picking up treasure, this is definitely a full-fledged financial product." "The powerful 1.5T engine and manual transmission are indeed the pure Honda 'rotten boy' formula." "It's worth it that I've waited so long, it's really good."
According to data from Guangqi Honda, since its listing, integra has attracted a large number of young users. According to a number of Guangqi Honda sales people told Times Finance, the current model MT version is difficult to find and is very popular in the terminal market.
Behind the MT version of the trend push, Guangqi Honda's strength pet fans
With the continuous maturity and reduction of automatic transmission technology and its cost, as well as the challenge of traffic congestion brought about by the growth of car ownership, more and more automobile manufacturers have begun to abandon pushing manual transmission models in the hope that more production capacity can cover more mainstream market demand and ultimately maximize profits.
However, for many driving enthusiasts, the joy of manual transmission is difficult to compare with automatic transmission. These pleasures are hidden between oil-off coordination and gear shifting, hidden in the push back feeling of downshift acceleration, hidden in the adrenaline rush caused by high-speed overtaking.
The manual gear can bring a sense of maneuvering at will, allowing the driver to achieve the realm of "human-vehicle integration" under the combination of hands and feet, fast gearing, oil separation and continuous release of superb driving skills. In the process, the car will perform your will 100%, you have more direct control over the power and speed of the car, and you can get wonderful gear shift feedback in real time: clear gear entry sound, thrust change, the jitter tension transmitted to the shift cable/rod during the synchronizer bite, the friction sound of pedaling on the clutch pedal... At this moment, the driver and the car become one, and the happiness factor is emitted invisibly. In the process of gear shift thinking, an "old driver" with superb handling skills is also gradually cultivating.
In this context, the exclusive MT version of the type came into being. It is reported that Honda INTEGRALGRA can be traced back to the 1980s, as the first Type-R model based on civilian vehicles at that time, which opened the road to the civilianization of Honda performance vehicles. INTEGRA has been equipped with many Honda divine machines, such as B16A, B18C and other engines, among which, the third-generation INTEGRA Type R model supported by Honda's classic "red-headed heart" B18C engine has become the "Dream car" of a generation of enthusiastic youth.
In order to continue this sentiment, the type INTEGRA "returns" in a new way, from the inside to the outside is a trendy car that has fully renewed its new product imprint. For Honda fans, INTEGRA carries countless feelings and beliefs, while the MT version is more like a spiritual inheritance and a brave pursuit of ultimate driving pleasure.
Caring for consumers' deep-hearted demands and fulfilling their desire for pure driving further highlights THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GUANGQI HONDA AS a large factory, and will not forget its original intention because the manual transmission model no longer makes money. In the view of this car company that is a strong pet fan, as long as consumers have needs, they will do their best to meet them, just to let the faith land.
In fact, on the road of pet powder, GAC Honda is definitely the most serious. Whether it is the Dream Festival that has been held for many consecutive years, or the documentary "Departure is the Champion" for 9 million car owners on Valentine's Day this year, Guangqi Honda has never forgotten the original intention of "user-centered", and under the blessing of love and the power of dreams, Guangqi Honda has also been setting out to accompany car owners and fans to continue to innovate and surpass and create wonderful things that belong to each other.
The momentum is not enough, and the MT version is not to pull down the threshold
It is worth noting that in the strength of the pet fans, in response to consumers' driving desires, the Guangqi Honda model MT version is not in power, but in one step, the whole series provides a high-power power version. This is one of the few manual models in the industry that excludes the positioning of productivity tools, and the only part of the product is also in the environment of providing choice in low power, and Guangqi Honda's approach can be described as sincere.

The exhaust side of the engine adopts Honda VTEC technology, and adopts high-power turbocharger, high-rigidity crankshaft, high-rigidity oil pan and other technologies, matching the optimized CVT transmission and integrating G-Design Shift technology.
During the driving process, this power system greatly exerts its unique advantages. On the one hand, when performing acceleration, lane change, overtaking and other actions, the power system shows excellent power support, and the speed is silky, and only a little force under the feet can enjoy a very comfortable driving experience. Not only that, the car also reflects a strong power reserve in driving, which shows the advantages of fuel economy of Guangqi Honda models to the fullest.
The powerful 1.5T engine with manual transmission, taking into account the short stroke and high rigidity of the gear shift experience, coupled with the official guidance price as low as 129,900 yuan, the GUANGQI Honda model MODEL MT version makes many consumers shout "and cherish".
