Among the Japanese brands, Honda's recognition in China is very high, especially Honda's XR-V model, which has dominated the top three in the field of small SUVs for many years. Honda's XR-V has been on the market for seven years, and now in the face of a younger consumer group, if it maintains its previous performance, it is obviously not attractive enough to attract consumers. Now that Dongfeng Honda's all-new generation XR-V has been on the market for three months, as a replacement model, the new 2022 model is named Obsidian Edition. Whether the new Honda XR-V can attract young consumers, let's take a look!
The new Honda XR-V has been greatly adjusted in terms of appearance, making it more youthful, with a black-black chrome grille and blackened front bumper that makes the entire front face look youthful.
On the side of the body, the new Honda XR-V adopts the most popular slipback design of the moment, the side waistline is smooth and narrow, and it is particularly cool against the background of 17-inch blackened wheels. The new Honda XR-V taillights feature a through-through design with a concealed exhaust layout.
In terms of body size, the new XR-V has a length, width and height of 4380/1790/1590mm, a wheelbase of 2610mm, and a further increase in size, and a wider rear seating space.
In terms of interior, the interior and configuration of the whole car are mainly practical, the central control screen is only 8 inches, and the car machine system supports CarPlay and Android Auto and other interconnected functions. The steering wheel is equipped with a three-panel multi-functional steering wheel, and the physical buttons are used under the central control screen, the overall design is simple, and there is no special place.
The new Honda XR-V has a high utilization of space, supports the second row of seats in a 4:6 ratio, adjustable rear backrests, and is equipped with a panoramic sunroof function, which effectively improves comfort and does not appear depressing.
In terms of powertrain, the new car is available in 1.8L and 1.5L versions. The 1.5-liter version of the Honda XRV has a maximum horsepower of 131 hp and a peak torque of 155 Nm per meter, and the 1.5T version of the Honda XRV has a maximum horsepower of 177 hp and a maximum torque of 220 Nm per meter, both of which are CVT continuously variable transmissions used.
Both are small power, and this car, which has the ultimate pursuit of power, is not your dish, but as a daily transportation, this power system can definitely meet and save fuel.
