As mainland automobiles enter the stock market, the competition between automobile brands has also entered a white-hot stage, during which many good cars with excellent product strength have emerged. After the honda civic became famous in the compact car market, other manufacturers also began to look at the compact family car market, and Geely Xingrui is such a model launched against the Honda Civic. As two blockbuster models in this segment, the price of Civic and Xingrui also basically overlaps, so who is stronger in the two? How should consumers choose? Let's take a look at it by comparison.
Exterior design
The new Civic changed the original cool and flamboyant design, the closed cover front is slightly sagging, the silver logo is located here, the original silver decorative strip is replaced by a black flat grille, and the bottom is also inlaid with a large black lower grille, and the sports atmosphere is not weak. In terms of body size, the Civic has a length, width and height of 4674/1802/1415 mm, and a wheelbase of 2735 mm.
The overall design of the Civic tail does not have a sharp momentum, but it has a touch of softness. The light groups inside the taillights on both sides adopt an inverted "L" design, which has a certain degree of recognition after lighting, and the canard tail wing further enhances the effect of the low center of gravity wide body.
The front face of Xingrui adopts the new generation of family design language of "Technology Geely 4.0", the shield-shaped front grille is matched with the internal straight waterfall trim, plus the three-stage pulsed daily running lights and the sharp headlights on both sides, which cleverly enhances the sporty atmosphere of the car. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4785/1869/1469 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2800 mm.
The overall shape of the Rear of the Xingrui car is stable, and the tail light group that tends to be straight is close to the upper edge of the trunk cover, and the center is connected by a chrome trim strip, which widens the lateral perspective of the tail while also enhancing its sense of layering.
Interior contrast
Civic uses a full LCD dashboard with a three-frame multi-function steering wheel, the central control multimedia display adopts a suspension design, and the central console uses a penetrating air conditioner outlet style, the overall sense is very good, full of technology, and the metal texture physical knob fully considers the driver's operating habits.
The overall center console of the Xingrui interior is clearly layered, and the materials and color combinations have been carefully considered and very luxurious. The new "space-time overlapping cockpit" design is adopted, the overall line is very fluid and concise, and the visual effect is fashionable and technological. At the same time, the color matching of yacht blue and high-grade gray, with a flat bottom three-frame multi-function steering wheel, a 12.3-inch LCD instrument, and a suspension 12.3-inch central control large screen, the texture is outstanding.
Size comparison
The Honda brand is very good at spatial layout, but through the size comparison of the two cars, it can be found that the Civic does not have an advantage in this regard. In fact, Xingrui has played a "little clever" here, and the size of Xingrui has reached the standard of A+ models, and there is basically no opponent in the compact model.
dynamical system
The new Civic power has been comprehensively improved, including the 180TURBO model abandoning the original 1.0T three-cylinder turbocharged engine to a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power increase of 4 horsepower (3 kW) and a peak torque increase of 7 Nm. The 220TURBO model was upgraded to a 240TURBO model, still equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power increase of 5 hp (4 kW) and a peak torque increase of 20 Nm.
Xingrui is equipped with the Volvo Drive-E series 2.0TD in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine (VEP4 in-line four-cylinder all-aluminum turbocharged mid-direct injection gasoline engine), which has a maximum power of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 Nm. In terms of transmission, it is matched by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Uncle Che summed up
The new Civic will be the appearance and interior of the complete change, although lost the aura of the sports car, but in many details still retain the temperament of the sports car, rather than abandoning the original audience, it is more appropriate to say that the new Civic just expands the scope of the audience. Although Civic does not have an advantage over Xingrui in terms of space and power, Honda's brand power still gives more blessings to the new Civic; back to Xingrui, although Xingrui is more cost-effective, small problems such as fuel tank noise and trunk leakage have a great impact on the car experience.
