If you want to talk about models that take into account the needs of space, price and home, the 150,000-level entry-level SUV is a good choice. Perhaps because of these three conditions perfectly, the Honda XR-V has always been very popular in this segment. However, it has not been replaced for many years, and there is a lot of new news during this time. After the release of a new generation of HR-V official pictures overseas, we speculated that the AMERICAN version of HR-V models may correspond to the new domestic Binzhi, and the Asian version of the model will be realized on the replacement XR-V, not long after, with the exposure of the new XR-V declaration map, one of the conjectures has also been confirmed. So, how does the honda XR-V perform after the replacement?
The new XR-V doesn't look like a Honda anymore?

According to the declaration information of the new Honda XR-V, it can be understood that the changes in the new car are mainly concentrated in three aspects, appearance, size and power. Let's first take a look at the most obvious appearance changes, as we suspect, the new generation of XR-V styling mainly borrows the design style of the Asian version of the HR-V RS model, and compared with the current XR-V layered front face shape, the new car can not be said to be exactly the same, it can be said that it has nothing to do with it. Especially seeing that hexagonal dot-matrix grille may also evoke your memories of the old Haval H6. Compared with the AMERICAN version of HR-V, the difference is mainly concentrated in this middle network area. In addition, the new XR-V also retains various blackening kits on the HR-V RS model, such as blackened headlights and taillights through the LOGO, which further strengthens the sporty atmosphere of the new car. In the increasingly young automotive market, the transformation of the new XR-V to a young, sporty direction can be said to be more sensible.

Secondly, the Honda XR-V after the replacement has also embarked on the extended route like most joint venture models, with slight changes in body size. The wheelbase, like the current model, is 2610 mm, but in addition to the height reduction, the length and width of the new car have increased by tens of millimeters. According to the current XR-V space measurement performance, even if the burly friend sits in the car, the XR-V space still has a certain amount of space, the actual space is much larger than it looks, and the new XR-V space performance after the size upgrade will be more abundant, but the new car slip-back style, coupled with the height down adjustment, may have a certain impact on the rear head space.

Finally, in terms of power, according to the declaration information, the new generation of Honda XR-V is currently known to have only one 1.5L engine, the maximum power is 91kW, and the transmission system matches the CVT stepless transmission, but the follow-up XR-V is expected to gradually keep up with the 1.5T and hybrid models. According to the driving experience of the current XR-V, the new car may still have a better performance in driving stability and sound insulation, and now after the power adjustment, it is bound to further optimize the fuel consumption, in today's oil price soaring environment, for the entry-level SUV that meets the commuting and home transportation, it is not a good thing.
After the XR-V replacement, can it be larger and more fuel-efficient than the Corolla Rebahn?

After the new generation of Honda XR-V has been greatly modified in appearance and the body has been lengthened, the market competitiveness of new cars will also be greatly improved. In this way, the pressure came to the side of toyota Corolla Relung, after all, the same is about 150,000 yuan of Japanese entry-level SUVs, Honda XR-V has been in this segment for many years have a bright performance, and Corolla Relfang, although it has just been listed, it is also menacing. How does the Honda XR-V after the replacement compare with the Corolla Replay?

To say that the Honda XR-V sells well, it is inseparable from the two points of space and fuel saving. First of all, talk about power and fuel consumption, in the face of the Corolla Rel amplification of the maximum 171 horsepower 2.0L engine, the new XR-V 1.5L engine, the data performance is obviously worse than the Corolla Rel amplification, but if the follow-up can use the Civic 1.5T high-power engine, the power output can surpass the Corolla Rel release. Of course, for this kind of home SUV, the power is secondary, fuel saving is the key, in the NEDC working conditions, the corolla sharp oil consumption in 5.9-6L/100km, and the current XR-V fuel consumption range in the 6-6.3L/100km, now it seems to be almost the same, but after the replacement of XR-V, compared with the fuel consumption performance may have a certain advantage. In addition, in terms of space, even compared with the Corolla Rel amplifier with the compact SUV, the passenger space of the current XR-V is not much different, and the new XR-V after the size upgrade, under honda's design concept of "maximizing the riding space", it is also possible that the actual passenger space can be better than the Corolla replay.

As for the technology experience that young people focus on, the new generation of Honda XR-V is expected to be equipped with the latest generation of Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system and Honda SENSING system. This means that on the new XR-V, we can experience Honda's latest technological performance and safety system, compared to the Toyota Corolla Rebbe standard 7 airbags and Toyota TSS2.0 Smart Travel safety system, the two vehicles can be said to be equal in terms of active and passive safety performance. However, the XR-V equipped with Honda CONNECT 3.0 has an excellent level of intelligence in the field of joint venture vehicles.
Write at the end
In the field of 150,000-level entry-level joint venture SUVs, Honda XR-V sales have maintained a leading level all year round, which is inseparable from the space performance of the leapfrog and excellent fuel economy, and the new generation of XR-V has also optimized the product strength of both aspects. In the face of the menacing Toyota Corolla Sharp Release, the product performance is also difficult to distinguish. After the honda XR-V replacement, whether it can continue the performance of the current model is also worth our expectations.
