The new generation of Dongfeng Honda Civic has been on the market for some time, although the new car abandons the previous radical style in terms of design ideas, which is slightly regrettable. However, the new design has become more pragmatic, and the space and configuration have also been significantly improved compared with the previous generation, so many consumers have also expressed great recognition for the new Civic. Not long ago, the new generation of Honda Civic e: HEV was officially released, the car is expected to be the first to be listed in the European market in the second half of this year, and the future hybrid version of the model will also be introduced into the country for mass production. What are the differences between the hybrid version and the fuel version of the model, and today we will understand it from the perspective of "new car illustration".
Appearance: styling and domestic new generation Civic
Basically the same
Although the Civic e:HEV has a certain similarity in appearance to the domestic new generation of Civic, because the Civic e:HEV is based on the Civic HATCHBACK model, the Civic e:HEV is more like a coupe model. Because of this, Honda Civic e: HEV overall feels more radical, and the design of the coupe is more in line with the needs of European cars, as for the domestic Civic hybrid version in the future to use the sedan version or hatchback version to create is still unknown.
Interior: There is a difference in the gear shift mechanism
Like other Honda models, the interior styling of the Honda Civic e:HEV is not much different from the domestic new generation Civic, and the overall design layout of the fuel version model is still maintained, and it is only distinguished in the gear operation layout, presumably there will not be much difference after the future domestic production.
Power: 2.0L engine + motor
Composed of a hybrid system
About Honda's oil-electric hybrid system based on the 2.0L engine, which has been applied to many of its models, the system has been decentralized to the lower-end compact car, which is an exciting news for consumers. In this way, the choice of configuration models is not only wider, but the advantages of gasoline-electric hybrid models in fuel economy can also reduce the cost of consumers to a certain extent.
Market Outlook Analysis:
The new dark horse in the gasoline-electric hybrid compact car market
summary
The previous generation of Civic can be described as extremely competitive in China, and has brought rich orders to Dongfeng Honda on its own. However, at that time, Honda did not plan to launch a hybrid version of the oil-electric model, they may feel that a fuel version is enough. With the listing of a new generation of Civic, this car has changed the character of the previous radical faction, and the whole car has become more pragmatic, perhaps because these changes have made Civic withdraw from the struggle between the rivers and lakes, and the name of "God Car" has gradually faded. The Civic that returns to the family is like a father who has been promoted to a grandfather for the first time, and has more inclusiveness. Therefore, it is completely reasonable to launch a hybrid version of the model, especially at this stage, the oil price is soaring, and the hybrid model has become the choice of more people. I believe that the consumers waiting for the hybrid version of Civic domestic production are not just a small number, and it is no accident that this car will be domestically produced next year at the latest, combined with Honda's consistent two-car strategy, Dongfeng Honda and Guangqi Honda will launch their own compact oil-electric hybrid models.
