Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology exposed a set of Dongfeng Honda's new generation XR-V model information. As a replacement, it is positioned as a compact SUV. Compared with the current model, the whole vehicle has obvious changes in both size and design.
The new car has dimensions of 4380/1790/1590mm and a wheelbase of 2610mm. Compared with the current model, the length and width of the new car have increased, but the wheelbase has not changed relatively much.
Note: The current Dongfeng Honda XR-V has a length, width and height of 4328/1772/1610mm, and a wheelbase of 2610mm.
Based on this, some car friends said that Honda did not expand the wheelbase this time, and may also be making room for the upcoming new SUV models.
The author's personal feeling is not so, after all, XR-V is not an indispensable one in Dongfeng Honda's product system, on the contrary, the model has reached the million sales level in just over 6 years since its launch in 2014, which is a veritable sales pole.
What is this concept?
According to the data of the Association of Automobile Associations, the cumulative sales of Dongfeng Honda XR-V in the first quarter of this year reached 35278 vehicles, you know, this is already the end of this generation of products:
After all, it is a replacement model, and the space of the model itself will not be small in theory, but only large. And with reference to Honda's Man Maximum Machine Minimum space design concept, it is strong enough to achieve.
As for the design level, it should satisfy most riders - the new XR-V on the East Ben is basically the same as the overseas version.
In addition to filling the rear of the car a little fuller and adding blackened taillights through the LOGO, the front face is not designed too much. And the interior also continues the style of the overseas version, which is very similar to the design of the current Civic.
This is also understandable, after all, the new generation has caused a lot of controversy since the release of the overseas version because of design problems, and this time Dongben simply does not participate too much, and the level of [visual favorability] is handed over to the riders to judge. Thinking about the benefits, after all, the overseas version has been watched for so long, and more or less will be a little used to it.
Perhaps to make some concessions to fuel consumption, the new car is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a model L15CE compared to the current model, with a maximum power of 91 kilowatts, matching the CVT gearbox.
Summary:
Judging from the information that has been fundamentally exposed, perhaps the new new XR-V on Dongfeng Honda is still consistent with the old model in the overall strategy part: that is, to build the real needs of riders in the actual car life.
This also means that the vehicle itself will not have many fancy product features of new forces. Instead, there is a greater emphasis on:
1.Lower fuel consumption 2.Bigger interior space 3.Smoother driving experience 4.More grounded driving assistance 5.Better and appropriate pricing 6.More decent retention rate
After all, when it comes to building a family car. Honda's strength has always been not to be underestimated, and Dongfeng Honda itself has also been recognized by more than one million domestic users with this point. Now the question is, how much do you think the pricing of new cars will be locked in?
