Reports from The GreatAuto

The times are changing, and the consumer population is also updating; especially when the post-90s who grew up in the Internet era have become the main car buyers, the sales pattern of the car market has naturally changed quietly.

So far, we have clearly found that a new generation of consumers who buy cars are no longer too much pursuing brands and historical heritage as in the past. On the contrary, at the moment when new energy and intelligence have become irreversible trends, they have shown a great "chasing new" mentality, especially in the field of entry-level models with relatively close prices, hybridization and intelligence have been the top priority of car purchase choices, and there are hybrid, intelligent interaction and auxiliary driving configurations, and sales are good.

Among them, the joint venture Dongfeng Honda Is one of the phenomenal models in the past two years. On March 26, the new model enjoyed a comprehensive upgrade, intelligent strength, coupled with large space, high configuration and the third generation of i-MMD hybrid system, almost became the industry benchmark at this level.

i-MMD hybrid blessing

Low fuel consumption at full working conditions

In the era of new energy, if the fuel consumption of a family car cannot be less than 5 liters, it is not excellent; and today's pattern is that as long as it is a top-selling player, even if it is positioned at 100,000 levels, it is basically within 5 liters.

This naturally includes Dongfeng Honda, whose hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5L i-MMD hybrid system, which has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.71L/100km under the WLC standard that best meets the actual road conditions of Chinese consumers and has a large number of low-speed scenarios.

The ability to run such a low fuel consumption is due to two aspects, one is that the engine is advanced enough, and the other is that the logic concept of the third-generation i-MMD hybrid system is sufficiently avant-garde.

In terms of engine, the Heyurui Hybrid is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 80kW and a maximum torque of 134N m, which is general in terms of power performance, but based on the Atkinson cycle, it gives it ultra-high thermal efficiency, and naturally obtains a sufficiently low fuel consumption base.

The third-generation i-MMD hybrid system has three drive modes of EV, hybrid and engine direct drive, and the three drive modes are seamlessly switched through the E-CVT gearbox, and the power output is stable and linear. In case of congestion, the system switches to pure electric mode, just like the pure electric model is driven by electric energy alone, starting quietly and responsively.

If it is a hybrid mode, the system will be mainly driven by electric energy, and the 1.5L engine assists in providing power; when driving at high speed, switch to the engine direct connection mode, and the engine directly provides power. Three modes are switched to achieve an optimal balance of fuel consumption and power.

In addition, the new Hemisphere is still available in a pure fuel version, using a 1.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 90kW and a maximum torque of 173N m, which belongs to the leader of the 100,000-class joint venture car in both power and torque, and then matches the well-known CVT gearbox with a seamless change in gear ratio, which can bring users a smooth acceleration experience in most road conditions.

Of course, the fuel consumption of the fuel version is not high, and its WLC comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 5.92 L/100km, which is also an excellent level in the same class.

Intelligent and upgraded

Enjoy a smarter home travel experience

The most noteworthy change point of the new enjoyment domain is actually the intelligent upgrade. Not only is the wireless charging panel of the mobile phone set in the handrail box, but also the 9-inch DA smart screen is upgraded in a timely manner, and it is equipped with the Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, which supports the five functions of "mobile phone control, voice control, online navigation, online entertainment, and car-home interconnection", providing users with a warm and smarter home travel experience.

When traveling daily, users can confirm the status of the vehicle, view the location of the vehicle, set electronic fences and anti-theft reminders through smart phones, and can also control daily functions such as air conditioning, window, precise navigation, online entertainment, etc. through voice, and even voice shopping and remote control of smart homes.

In addition, this new set of Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent connection also has OTA upgrade function, which can continue to provide users with a richer and more optimized intelligent interconnection experience through continuous updates and upgrades in the future.

The OTA upgrade ability matches its own good intelligent foundation, and it is also the god-level attribute of the new enjoyment domain to continue to consolidate the benchmark position of the same level.

In terms of intelligent safety, the new Henyu continues to be equipped with Honda SENSING safety super sense system, integrated ACC active cruise control system (with LSF low-speed following function) and LXAS lane keeping assist system and other practical functions, alleviating driving pressure and comprehensively protecting the travel safety of every family member.

More than just a lot of space

Both the NVH and the driver's and passenger configurations have been fully upgraded

The reason why the current enjoyment domain can become the benchmark of the same level, the unparalleled space size and comfort design, is the biggest competitive advantage.

In terms of body size, the body is lengthened by 16mm, 4772× 1804×1509mm, and a wheelbase of up to 2730mm, creating a super wide in-car seating space for users.

Compared with any joint venture competitors at the same price, it is the largest existence in size, the body length is directly to the A+ level, and with Honda's MM concept of minimizing mechanical space and maximizing crew space, the performance of space in the car is even more surplus.

At the same time, the interior of the car has also added and equipped the whole series with a rare rear aviation headrest of the same level, and can be adjusted at a 35° angle according to the needs of users, bringing a more luxurious and comfortable first-class cabin-like riding experience. In addition, the rear dual USB charging interface, rear air conditioning outlet, central armrest and integrated multi-function table board, etc., so that every occupant of the car can enjoy comfort even if it is a long trip.

In terms of NVH, the new Heyyu also thickens the hood acoustic cotton by 20%, the front wheel arch lining acoustic cotton by 12%, the sound insulation mesh by 13%, the interior of the car uses soundproof carpets, and optimizes the sound insulation area, which can better isolate road noise and chassis noise compared to the current model.

The data shows that the new enjoyment domain has increased the isolation of low-frequency noise by 25% and the high frequency by 3%, which can create a quieter interior space.

In terms of chassis and driving, the new enjoy domain is also re-tuned for the chassis, adjusting the spring characteristics and optimizing the damping of the shock absorber, which can filter more vibrations from the road surface, better adapt to the actual road conditions in China, and provide a more comfortable driving experience for all employees in the car.

At the same time, in view of the good powertrain movement characteristics of the new car itself, the new enjoyment domain also has targeted re-tuning of the EPS software, improving the steering feel, so that the driver can more easily control the vehicle in different speed segments, easy to operate at low speed, light steering, and peace of mind and stability when driving at medium and high speed.

Write at the end:

In terms of price, the current enjoyment domain has always been loved by consumers with a high cost-effective reputation, and now the mid-term revamped enjoyment domain, although from the body to the material, from the configuration to the function have been comprehensively improved, but considering the long-term dilution of the production line manufacturing costs, its pricing has not risen significantly, and even the current model is flat.

After the comprehensive upgrade of product strength, the new model enjoy domain still maintains a high cost performance, we believe that its industry influence, will be another dimension, and even expected to become a generation of hot selling legends.
