On March 18, Dongfeng Honda announced that it had ushered in the 7 millionth production vehicle of the brand, which was another milestone for the Dongfeng Honda brand. At the same time, as Dongfeng Honda's 7 millionth model to roll off the production line, Honda e:NS1 also opened pre-sales on the same day. The e-type version (pre-priced 180,000-190,000 yuan) and the e-moving version (pre-priced 20-210,000 yuan) will be launched, and its appearance indicates that Dongfeng Honda has entered a new era of electrification strategy.
The new car is based on the e:N Architecture F platform developed by Honda, and the overall shape is born from the Honda e:Prototype prototype.
In the front part, the new car adopts the design of the closed air intake grille with narrow long light group, which is more common in pure electric models, while the LOGO adopts the logo design of the e:N brand, which is the "H" that can be lit.
The charging interface of the new car is hidden behind the LOGO, and the cover can be opened through the switch on the left side of the steering wheel. The headlights are also equipped with the "Heart beat heartbeat interactive lamp language" function, which uses a variety of light expressions during the charging process, so that users can clearly understand the current charging status.
On the side of the body, a long straight waist line is adopted, which runs directly from the front fender to the front of the taillights, and the C-pillar has a relatively large slope, which is more traditional than the futuristic feeling of the front face.
The multi-spoke spoke shape, paired with 18-inch rims, gives the new car a more impactful visual effect. The rear door of the new car is similar to that of Binzhi and XR-V, with hidden door handles, while the front door is still traditional.
In terms of specific dimensions, the length, width and height of the new car are 4390*1790*1560mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm.
Coming to the rear part of the car, the design is very simple and smart, replacing Honda's traditional "H" logo with the English logo of "Honda". The through-type taillight design echoes the front LED light, which is eye-catching at night and more recognizable.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts a new design style, which is different from the fuel car and other Honda models. In the area near the central control screen, the complicated physical buttons are cancelled, a 15.2-inch longitudinal LCD screen is configured, and a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel is also installed to ensure the sense of technology in the car and improve the functionality of the human-computer interaction system.
In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with a DMC driver state perception system, which can effectively identify the driver's state. In terms of assisted driving functions, the new car offers adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping and automatic parking.
The new car is also equipped with a pure electric version of Honda CONNECT 3.0, which can easily use AI intelligent voice, AR navigation, car home interconnection and vehicle energy management functions during driving. Equipped with a wireless charging function for mobile phones, a BOSE sound system has also been introduced.
In terms of vehicle space, as a compact SUV with a 2610mm wheelbase, the overall space is not bad, and the new car seats are made of leather splicing materials, which is also good in terms of appearance and comfort.
In terms of power, in terms of power, the new car is based on the e:N Architecture F platform, using a front-mounted motor layout, e:NS1 will provide two power, the e-type version of the motor maximum power of 134 kilowatts, the maximum power of the e-moving version of the motor is 150 kilowatts, and the peak torque is 310 Nm. The range is also available in two versions, 420 km and 510 km respectively under CLTC conditions, both equipped with ternary lithium batteries.
As e:N Architecture F intelligent and efficient pure electric architecture. The control assembly of the motor has become more than 20,000 scene algorithms, which can realize the precise control of the drive motor, so that e:NS1 can enjoy a driving experience similar to that of fuel vehicles in various working conditions.
Also in Sport mode, the e:NS1 is also equipped with the Honda EV Sound system. It can be seen that in the era of electric innovation, Honda can still find comfort for car owners who have feelings for fuel vehicles.
In terms of market competition, Honda e:NS1 has more choices in the price range, such as the joint venture Volkswagen ID.4 model, etc., if you add domestic brands, you can choose BYD Song PLUS EV, GAC AEION V, WM W6 and other models.
As a Japanese brand, Honda is still the impression of buying an engine and delivering a car and saving fuel in the eyes of the Chinese people. In the field of pure electricity, Honda's ability is not "able to fight", and its competitiveness is lacking.
Summary: As Honda's true pure electric SUV model, Honda e: NS1 in all aspects have indeed made a relatively large effort, but it is not difficult to find that the Chinese people have not been interested in Honda's pure electric models, coupled with the strong development of independent brands, the pressure on Honda is also increasing, then it is bound to require Honda to put down its arrogant attitude and come up with greater sincerity and attitude.
