Honda e:N as the main force of Honda's electrification business in the Chinese market was officially released recently, and 24 hours after the brand's release, the brand's first mass production car, the Honda e:NS1, entered the consumer market at a price of 17.50-218,000 yuan.
In the exterior design of honda e:NS1, we can actually find some shadows of Honda fuel vehicles, like the inverted trapezoidal grille, although it is closed and added to the charging socket, but its structural style is still closer to the intake grille we saw on Honda Binzhi. At the same time, at both ends of the bumper, we saw a small-size diversion design brought about by the side skid plates and body sinking, and honda CR-V used a similar design before it completed the mid-term redesign, and even the fog light layout was the same, but honda e:NS1 has now become a ribbon style.
In addition, in some functional structural design, such as the front face headlights, its actual shape and connection with the central decorative belt will remind people of the eleventh generation of Civic that arrived last year, and the eye-catching white daytime lamp and flat lampshade inside have a simple and high-grade texture.
Turning to the rear of the car, the through-type taillights can be seen to be transformed through the design of the current model, but it is not from Binzhi, but from XR-V, the slender strip of light through the tailgate at both ends, and the use of all-black and white two-color light cavity and light bead particles to create, with the rear of the car higher uplifted paint bumper guard, Honda e: NS1 body sense of sport can also be reflected.
Objectively speaking, the Honda e:NS1 does not bring us many surprises in appearance, especially after the debut of the eleventh generation Civic, its freshness is not so strong. At the same time, it does not match the hidden door handle of the intelligent electric vehicle, and also retains the door handle on the C-pillar that has attracted many consumers, which will undoubtedly slightly weaken its competitiveness in the face of the new forces of domestic car manufacturing.
Inside the cabin, the three-dimensional horizontal structure is very interesting, the through-type air conditioning outlet and the central trim with stitching make the center console layered, and the multi-colored ambience lights can provide more interesting color changes, and the sense of atmosphere is very strong. The full LCD screen is two horizontal and vertical pieces, and the compact full LCD instrument panel and the 15.2-inch LCD touch screen have a sense of technology that is not weak.
In order to cope with the current smart electric market with frequent technology upstarts, Honda has upgraded some of the electrical technology architectures for the new brand e:N. In Honda e:NS1, we see That Honda merging intelligent connectivity and intelligent driving into one, a new set of e:N OS full-stack intelligent control ecosystems that replace the previous Honda CONNECT 3.0 and Honda SENSING 360, or we can understand that this new system is an upgrade and merger of two technologies, including a more digital cockpit.
In terms of other configurations, the Honda e:NS1 emphasizes the ride texture in the cabin, and the noise reduction technology and Honda EV Sound will improve the quietness of the cabin, and the other will simulate the sound wave during driving, so that this pure electric SUV does not have only a drowsy current sound like other vehicles. But objectively speaking, only 4390/1790/1560mm body size and 2610mm wheelbase still make Honda e: NS1 some clever women difficult to cook without rice, the back row is indeed much wider than Binzhi, XR-V, but for the 178cm experiencer, the back seat is still only 2 fingers, 1 and a half punch head and legroom.
In terms of three electrics, honda e:NS1 is equipped with a front-mounted electric motor, which uses two power versions, low power can provide a maximum power of 134kW (182Ps), which has exceeded the data performance of the Binzhi 220TURBO; its corresponding battery pack capacity is 53.6kWh, resulting in a 420km CLTC pure electric range.
The high power can provide the vehicle with a maximum power of 150 kW (204Ps) and a maximum torque of 310 N·m, and after the battery capacity is expanded to 68.8 kWh, the Honda e:NS1 can achieve a 510 km CLTC pure electric cruising range.
In terms of chassis, the front axle of Honda e:NS1 is a common McPherson-style independent suspension, and the rear axle actually uses not a conventional torque beam, but a set of integral bridge-type non-independent suspension, which is actually the body structure safety enhancement brought by the e:N Architecture F intelligent and efficient pure electric architecture, the so-called "plate suspension" in the case of clean filtering fine bumps, maintaining enough toughness in the corner, the common roll and swing of the SUV when cornering quickly disappeared, this may be " Honda Dafa "inherits and carries forward in the transformation of electrification."
Write at the end
As a traditional car brand that continues to show its dominance in the small SUV and compact SUV market, it is reasonable for Honda to make its electrification debut through honda e:NS1, which is a pure electric small SUV. However, in the case of selling cars with Earth Dream Technology as the main mechanical advantage, Honda's electric transformation also means the full unloading of this core advantage. In the domestic pure electric market rapid transition to intelligent, long endurance, large space environment, a battery life is not outstanding, the wheelbase of just over 2.6 meters of 180,000 small SUV can carry honda's banner? We take a wait-and-see attitude towards this, and I wonder what you think of the Honda e:N and Honda e:NS1? Welcome to leave a message to communicate with us.
