There is no doubt that the Honda Civic is the popular model in today's domestic compact sedan market, and now that it has come to the eleventh generation, it has also aroused the interest of many young consumers, and now you can occasionally see real cars on the road. At the end of 2021, honda in order to further enrich the choice of young consumers, integra this classic name once again got "rebirth", in addition to inheriting the brand spirit, the new look also gives it more highlights, as the sister model of the Civic, the new car is currently relatively lower terminal offer, and provide manual models optional. So today we take a look, can the 150,000 budget buy type be more suitable than the Civic?
From the specific price point of view, there are six configuration models to choose from, the guidance price is 12.99-16.69 million yuan, compared to the top version of the Civic seems to be a little more expensive, but the market terminal quotation is obviously more close to the people, most of the preferential strength is generally more than 10,000, so the top version of the type is equivalent to the sub-top version of the Civic, and the friends with relatively insufficient budgets obviously consider the type of grid is more appropriate. In addition, the design of the type and civic is also somewhat different, let's start from the appearance and analyze it step by step.
As a sister model of the Civic, the style actually maintains the design ideas of the new generation of Civic to a large extent, and the overall style is still modified by familiar simple and clean lines, although it is a little less sharp than the previous generation version, but the fashion atmosphere is not bad. But it may be because of the relationship of the Accord, so the type of grid in the grille, light group processing more cross-border effect, such as honeycomb grid internal structure, with exquisite slender full LED headlight group, its internal details are commendable, slender LED daytime lights after lighting up the recognition is quite good, and the light group is also equipped with adaptive near and far light and turn assist lights and other functions.
As a standard compact sedan, the size performance of the model is also not much slot, and the new generation of Civic is basically the same, 4689 * 1802 * 1415mm of length, width and height and 2735mm wheelbase, in this level is called first-class, especially the wheelbase is basically difficult to find an opponent, so the vehicle space can be satisfied, the body visual effect is also slender and coordinated enough. However, from the side of the body, the slender front makes the rear of the car slightly compact, outlining a sense of sport, and the design of the front fenders is also relatively narrow, with the straight window line also reduces the visual center of gravity, at this time with the 18-inch two-color double five-spoke wheels, not only the visual effect is better, but also avoids the trouble of late modification.
At the rear, the biggest difference between it and the Civic can be better displayed, such as the sharper taillight group, which creates a more athletic visual effect, and the upturned rear spoiler also highlights a certain performance model. At the same time, the rear surround adopts a double exhaust layout, the circular exhaust port looks more intimidating, and the diffuser is embellished, including the rear fog lights are also set in the middle of the bottom of the car. However, the top version of the real shot is not sports, so there is not much blackening processing, if you pursue a more extreme original sports effect, the second top with the magic night deluxe version is worth considering.
Sitting in the car, I think that the Civic or the style are not in line with the appearance and style, because the car does not pay attention to the creation of a sports atmosphere. The first is the center console area, the suspension central control screen with the conventional shape of the multi-function steering wheel, as well as the co-pilot area outlined by the flat straight line, with the metallic mesh trim and air conditioning outlet, it is obviously to create a sense of refinement and grade, and the workmanship and materials are also called the same level of first-class, compared to the German style is better. However, some people also complain about the honeycomb-shaped trim panels, which look a little dense, in fact, sitting in the car will not feel dazzling, if the atmosphere lights can also be added to this, the visual effect will be more stunning.
A brief chat about the configuration, compared with the Civic is basically the same, like the L2 level driver assistance system is almost standard, in addition to the lowest version can be enjoyed, but the sports version of the model lacks parallel assistance, which we do not particularly understand. However, functions such as lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, and full-speed adaptive cruise have appeared, and the safety requirements for daily transportation can be met. However, the openable panoramic sunroof belongs to the top of the exclusive, and the full range of models does not support the electric induction trunk, and the keyless entry only supports the front row. However, compared to the Civic, the top of the model is equipped with more BOSE speakers, and the multi-directional electric adjustment of the front seats is also equipped with models with mid-range and above.
When it comes to seat configuration, it is necessary to complain that Honda's emphasis on comfort is far from enough, it is reasonable to say that such a level of compact sedan, the top version of the seat heating or ventilation and other comfort configuration is not surprising, but the type and Civic are not. Fortunately, thanks to the size advantage, the front seats of the type still bring a good spatial performance, and with the leather seats with red + black stitching, the softness is also in line with expectations. However, the rear head is still affected by the design of the roof of the car, and adult men are somewhat depressed when sitting straight, but the leg space is about two fists, which is enough.
The power part, there is no doubt that the use of Honda's most common 1.5T engine, as Honda's star product, stable and reliable and can bring good performance, the key is the potential, otherwise how to buy an engine to send a car? The original tuning parameters are the maximum power of 134kW, the maximum torque of 240N·m, the automatic model is still matching the CVT transmission, but the minimum version provides 6-speed manual optional. The results of this test, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is about 8 seconds, which is good enough for a compact sedan for urban families, and the CVT gearbox has not affected the enthusiasm for shifting, including the smoothness of urban driving is commendable.
Summary: At present, the audience of the domestic compact car market can be divided into two categories, one is to seek stability and pragmatism, that must choose Speed, Corolla, the other is sports fashion, they are mostly young post-95s or even post-00 consumers, more concerned about design, power, that Civic, style is undoubtedly the first choice. As for how to choose the Civic and the type, in fact, the two products are consistent, depending on which car you are more interested in the specific design, including the price requirements, the relatively cheap type is also a major advantage.
