About five years ago, when new energy was still in its infancy, I remember asking a friend next to me this question, why don't you buy an electric car?
He gave two reasons. One is the basic supporting of electric vehicles, that is, the charging piles are built too few, and it is convenient to use no oil vehicles; the second is that the car companies that sell electric vehicles are either independent brands or new forces, and there are very few joint venture car companies.
Last summer, my friend finally moved the idea of buying an electric car, because he tasted a certain Internet celebrity electric car, turned back to drive his own oil car, and found that the gap in technology, intelligence and power is not generally large.
Coupled with the charging pile and other configurations have been quite perfect, seeing the increasingly expensive oil price, he is really ready to change his own oil truck.
Perhaps it was the feelings and persistence of the joint venture brand and Honda in his heart that made him decide to wait for Honda's electrification work.
On the evening of April 26, Honda's first pure electric vehicle in China, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, was officially listed as a "smart driving fun pure electric SUV", and the price range after subsidies was 175,000 yuan - 218,000 yuan.
Of course, this friend of mine paid attention to the listing trend the whole time, in his words, gave up so many electric cars over the years, and finally waited for this East Ben e: NS1, if you ask him if this kind of payment is worth it? His answer was YES.
The first thing that captured his heart was e:NS1, which perfectly inherited Honda's more than 70 years of car-making genes. We must not think that the electric car is stuffed into a few motors on the seconds of the air, the key is to see the pure electric architecture and chassis platform Well, this thing needs time and technical precipitation.
For e:NS1, the "e:N Architecture F" intelligent and efficient pure electric architecture gives it excellent genes, high-power motors, high-density batteries, exclusive frames for pure electric vehicles and chassis platforms have been efficiently integrated, coupled with Honda's re-tuned chassis and excellent NVH performance, according to the official introduction can achieve a balance of "driving pleasure" and "ride comfort". As some netizens said, some people think that the East E: NS1 is expensive, in fact, after reading its chassis and control, you don't think so.
Of course, because this conference was held online, we have not had the opportunity to personally test drive the car, as for the official control of how to dare to draw conclusions now. However, in terms of the handling advantages inherited from the Honda model, this e:NS1 will not disappoint us.
Next is intelligence and technology. There is a saying that the Honda models in the era of fuel vehicles do not have any outstanding places in these two fields, especially compared with independent brands and new power car companies.
But this time e:NS1 obviously came up with a different attitude towards building cars. According to reports, the car will be equipped with the most advanced Honda CONNECT 3.0 pure electric vehicle version, Honda SENSING system, yes, the entire e:NS1 cockpit has become more technological. To be honest, it's pretty exciting.
In addition, the appearance and space level, e: NS1 is also a glance at the aesthetics of contemporary young people, this set of "e: N Design" design language shows the characteristics of simplicity and sharpness, coupled with 4390 * 1790 * 1560mm of length, width and height, 2610mm wheelbase, under the insistence of the "MM" concept, the whole car storage space as many as 18, these two levels still continue the advantages of the fuel vehicle era.
Since October last year, Honda China has released its electrification strategy in China, launching a new pure electric vehicle brand "e:N". By April 25, Honda held an e:N brand night online event, released the "e:N" brand declaration, brand slogan and product planning, and then the official launch of e:NS1 on the evening of April 26.
It can be clearly seen that Honda's electrification strategy is very resolute and does not drag mud and water at all. Interestingly, at present, Dongfeng Honda has been recognized by 7 million domestic users, and it remains to be seen whether the electrification era can achieve the same results.
