If the Toyota Highlander is the benchmark for the mid-size SUV market, then the Honda CR-V is undoubtedly the handle of the compact SUV. Compared with the price of Highlander, in fact, from the sales volume of the market, it can be seen that most consumers' car purchase budget is about 200,000, and with a large riding space and the highest residual value rate of second-hand cars in the same level, Honda CR-V has naturally become a model of consumers' favorite car. With the consumer population mainly young people, although CR-V has many advantages, the appearance of more greasy and old-fashioned shape is indeed difficult for young users to accept, so as a sister model, Haoying has become a fragrant feast.
The same is positioned as a compact SUV, Haoying's price is obviously more affordable than CR-V, the starting price of the entry-level version of the two cars is 169,800 yuan, but the guidance price of Haoying's top model is 252,800 yuan, which is more than 20,000 yuan cheaper than the top version of CR-V. From the perspective of market sales, haoying's cumulative sales in 2021 will exceed 150,000 vehicles, which is much higher than that of Volkswagen Tuyue and Toyota Veranda, which is enough to see the influence of Haoying in the market. Let's take the 2021 240TURBO CVT two-wheel drive premium version as an example to see how Haoying performs.
In terms of appearance design, although it has the same market positioning, haoying's front face shape is obviously younger than that of CR-V. Haoying's front face is more flat, and the split grille is surrounded by the shape, coupled with the thick chrome trim, the whole front face gives people a very heavy feeling. The shape of the lamp group is more regular, but the lamp cavity adopts the structure of arrow feathers, which makes it look quite scientific and technological. The side shape is similar to that of the CR-V, with a length, width and height of 4634/1855/1679mm and a wheelbase of 2661mm. From the picture, you can see that the front and rear wheel eyebrows and the door side skirt part are decorated with bright black trim strips, coupled with the bright black wheels in front and rear, the sense of visual movement is naturally enhanced. The tail shape is more compact, the tail lights show an "L" shape, and the turn signal design is on both sides of the rear windshield, which has a good eye-catching effect.
Compared with the exterior, the interior styling style is obviously the same as the CR-V, so the visual is not without much freshness. The interior material is quite thick, the steering wheel, seats, door armrests and other parts are wrapped in leather, and the edges are supplemented with stitching embellishments, which is helpful for improving the sense of grade. The full LCD dashboard has a good display effect, the partition between the screens makes the functional area divided; the central control multimedia screen size is only 7 inches, so the screen size is not much at the same level, but the equipped car machine system is more complete, supporting the Internet of Vehicles, voice control, online navigation.
Haoying's rear space is not inferior to CR-V at all, when I sit in the back row at a height of 1.78 meters, I can get more than two punches of leg distance, close to the headroom margin of one punch; and the panoramic sunroof is the standard configuration of the whole series, which is more understanding of the needs of the Chinese than Toyota. Secondly, Haoying's car door adopts an all-inclusive design, which can avoid the pants when getting on and off the car, and the door opening angle is large, which is very convenient for the elderly to get on and off. The flat floor can fully ensure the comfort of the intermediate passengers, and the rear seat reclining can form a pure level with the trunk, and the space utilization rate is very high.
In terms of power, the Haoying we experienced this time is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, the maximum power is 142kW (193Ps), the maximum torque is 243N·m, and the transmission part is matched with the CVT stepless gearbox. From the perspective of book parameters alone, Honda can be said to exert the power of this 1.5T engine to the extreme, and even can be compared head-on with many 2.0T low-power tuned engine parameters. When driving, the power response is not only heeled, the entire acceleration process is relatively linear and smooth, the official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 9.3 seconds, and the actual test takes only 8.43 seconds, which is completely inferior to the mainstream 2.0T model. NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.4L/100km, the actual measured results are similar, you can add No. 92 "coarse grain", as a household SUV use cost is not high.
Finally, although the hardware base of Haoying is the same as that of CR-V, and the size of the space is not much different, the appearance of young sports is precisely the reason why many young consumers choose Haoying. The market competition is fierce, in addition to enriching the product line, but also good at analyzing the market to analyze the needs of consumers, the introduction of suitable models to give a reasonable price, so Haoying in the market hot sales will not be surprising.
