On the evening of April 26, Honda's first pure electric vehicle in China- Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 was officially launched, and the new car was positioned as a "smart driving fun pure electric SUV", with a total of 4 models launched, priced at 175,000-218,000 yuan after subsidies.
Continue the Honda car gene, set the wisdom and beauty in one
As Honda's first pure electric vehicle model in China, e:NS1 not only perfectly inherits the Honda brand's more than 70 years of car manufacturing genes, but also integrates China's most advanced electrification and intelligent technology, bringing users a new pure electric travel experience that integrates the three core values of "movement", "wisdom" and "beauty".
The new car is equipped with an intelligent and efficient pure electric architecture "e:N Architecture F", which integrates a high-power motor, a high-density battery, an exclusive frame for pure electric vehicles and a chassis platform, which starts quickly, accelerates smoothly and controls flexibly. Coupled with a retuned chassis and excellent NVH performance, the e:NS1 achieves the perfect balance of "driving pleasure" and "ride comfort".
Thanks to the state-of-the-art Honda CONNECT 3.0 exclusive version for pure electric vehicles, the Honda SENSING system and the intelligent digital cockpit, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 defines the new value of electric mobility with outstanding intelligent technology performance.
e:NS1 adopts the new "e:N Design" design language, and the overall shape is simple and sharp. The new car is available in five exterior colours, with a length, width, height of 4390/1790/1560mm and wheelbase of 2610mm. Adhering to the concept of "MM", there are as many as 18 storage spaces in the whole vehicle, and the space utilization rate is leading the same level.
Car selection suggestion: Recommended e-chi version, the price is 189,000 yuan
This time, e:NS1 launched a total of four models, namely: e-type version 175,000 yuan, e-chi version 189,000 yuan, e-dynamic version 207,000 yuan, e-environment version 218,000 yuan.
First of all, the core difference is the battery capacity and mileage, the e-type version and the e-chi version have a battery capacity of 53.6kWh and a cruising range of 420 kilometers. The battery capacity of the e-dynamic and e-realm versions is 68.8kWh and the cruising range is 510 kilometers. Dynamic parameters, the former is 134 kW and 310 N·m, the latter is 150 kW and 310 N·m. If it is used as a short- and medium-distance car for urban transportation and surrounding areas, the cruising range of 420 kilometers is enough.
Secondly, from the configuration point of view, the e-chi version is more practical, compared to the entry model, there are more parallel assist, lane departure, lane keeping, road traffic distinction, active braking and active safety, reversing side warning, full speed adaptive cruise, these are very necessary active safety configurations, while there are active hypocilitude, front mobile phone wireless charging, adaptive far and near lights, rain induction wiper, main driver electric adjustment, front seat heating, 6 horn speakers, rear seat air outlet, temperature zone control, Vehicle air purifiers, negative ion generators and other quality-enhancing configurations, as well as 1 camera and millimeter wave radar, the combined price of 14,000 is still worth it.
Of course, the above is from the perspective of cost performance, if you do have a need to increase the cruising range of 90 kilometers, you can still consider two high-end versions, especially the top model, there are 360-degree panoramic images, BOSE audio, cameras up to 7, ultrasonic radar up to 12, as well as external power supply function, the experience is definitely better, as for the price difference and configuration increase is appropriate, you have to weigh it yourself.
Three driver views:
Honda's "electric shock" this time is really moving. In October last year, Honda China released its electrification strategy in China, launching a new pure electric vehicle brand "e:N". On April 25, Honda held the e:N brand night online event, released the "e:N" brand declaration, brand slogan and product planning, etc., sounding the clarion call for full electrification. On April 26, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 was launched, and Gagac Honda e:NP1 will also be listed in May. With the brand power accumulated over the years and the accumulation of millions of users, the strength cannot be underestimated. Therefore, the domestic new energy vehicle market competition will become more intense with the official entry of mainstream joint venture brands.
