When it comes to Honda's compact class car, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the Civic, but in fact, there is a model that is the same as the Civic, that is, the Enjoyment Domain. If the positioning of the Civic is a little more sporty, then the Civic is a solid family model. Today, Xiangyu ushered in its redesigned model.
Guangqi Honda officially announced that on March 26, the new xiangyu will be listed at that time. The price range of the new car is 109,800 yuan to 169,900 yuan. The new model will continue to be equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine and a 1.5-liter Honda i-MMD hybrid system, and the manual transmission model has been eliminated compared with the old model, and it seems that the manual transmission audience is still not much.
The new model is a mid-term redesign of the model, the appearance has not been too much adjustment, the change is mainly in the front face and other details. Due to the ribs on the lid and the design of the front face, the front face of the current Xiangyu gives people a high and narrow visual feeling, which obviously does not match the characteristics of the low design of the car.
So the new enjoyment domain solves this problem, using the latest family design language, adding a decorative strip of the same color as the cover above the LOGO, the fog lamp has become more prominent and three-dimensional, plus the original wing headlights, there is a bit of Accord flavor.
A black trim plate was also added to the rear bumper at the rear, which shifted the visual center of gravity downwards, improving the feeling that the front and back of the old model were low and high, the visual center of gravity was too high, and the double C-shaped taillights were still retained.
In terms of interior, the overall design layout and model configuration of the interior are not much different from the old models. Some models will be equipped with daytime running lights, CMBS radar, LED front fog lights, blind spot monitoring right rearview mirrors, intelligent entry, reversing images and other configurations.
The new model has a length, width and height of 4772/1804/1509mm, and a wheelbase of 2730mm, which is 16mm longer than the old model. Width height and wheelbase are the same.
As the brother model of Lingpai, space is still the biggest advantage of The Domain, and the positioning of the A-level can have the space of the B-class. The rear legroom of the domain can reach 850mm, which can already be compared to the spatial performance of many B-class cars, and the same is true for the trunk space. Hexiangyu is also one of the few models in the A-class model that can be paralyzed or comfortable in the back row, but it is not known how much the 16mm length added by the new model will be fed back to the interior space.
In the power unit, the new Hemisphere continues to be equipped with a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter Honda i-MMD hybrid system, with a drivetrain mated to a 6-speed manual, CVT, and E-CVT transmission, respectively. The power parameters are also the same as the current model. The 1.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 122 hp and a peak torque of 173 N·m. The 1.5L hybrid system has a maximum horsepower of 131 hp and a peak torque of 267 N·m.
In addition to power, the difference between the two sets of power systems is also reflected in the fuel consumption, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.0T and 1.5L hybrid systems is 5L/100km and 4L/100km, respectively, compared with the same level of competitor models, fuel consumption performance is one of the best.
The first one to enjoy the domain was a three-cylinder engine when it was listed, and in the case of a three-cylinder engine that was very resistant to the country, coupled with the reputation and general marketing of Dongben, it was also foreseeable that the cold in the domain was also foreseeable. In fact, it is not so much that the Chinese people resist the three cylinders, but rather that they resist the three cylinders that have no cost performance.
Many three-cylinder models on the market have not changed much compared to the price of four-cylinder models, so why should consumers risk a three-cylinder with reduced comfort in a few years to buy a three-cylinder with a price similar to that of a four-cylinder? Of course, as long as the price is in place, cheap to a certain extent, let alone a three-cylinder engine, it is two cylinders, and what should be sold will still be sold.
Therefore, although the new model has a 1.0T three-cylinder engine model, but the price and the old model has not changed, in the domestic consumer stereotype of the three-cylinder engine, the main model sold out will be seventy percent will be hybrid models, or even higher.
However, with the influence and recognition of Honda, a Japanese brand, after the 1.0T domain has a preferential margin, the price of the lowest model has dropped to 90,000 or even 90,000, and many people will still choose it. After all, there is a Japanese joint venture car with a large space and low fuel consumption in the early 100,000 years, which is still quite fragrant.
