On April 26, the first model of Honda's "e:N" brand in China, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, was officially launched, and a total of 4 models were launched for the new car, with a price range of 175,000-218,000 yuan.
Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 is based on honda e:N Architecture F pure electric architecture, the first sight of the new car can feel honda's subversive changes.
Under the new family design language of the e:N series, the transverse headlights and the "H" mark that can be lit on the front face bring recognition to the new car, but also bring the unique "sci-fi" and "futuristic sense" of smart electric vehicles.
Dongfeng Honda e: NS1 has a length, width and height of 4390mm/1790mm/1560mm, which is a small SUV in terms of body size, but its wheelbase reaches 2610mm, and the interior space is enough to rival the compact SUV.
What is even more surprising is that Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 has made a breakthrough in intelligence. First of all, the 10.25-inch full LCD dashboard, the 15.2-inch central control vertical screen and the streaming media rearview mirror can already reflect the sense of technology. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with the "e:N OS" full-stack intelligent control ecosystem, which integrates the two functions of Honda SENSING (Safety Super Sense) and Honda CONNECT.
Just a "Hello, Honda" can wake up the voice assistant, and also support the control of door locks, windows, air conditioners and so on through the App. In addition, the A-pillar in the car is equipped with a DMC driver state perception system, and if the driver doesn't doze off, the system will also make a reminder at the first time. In intelligent assisted driving, it includes functions such as full-speed domain adaptive cruise, active braking, lane keeping, and road traffic sign recognition.
As for power and endurance, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 provides two kinds of power to choose from, of which the maximum power of the e-type and e-chi motor is 134kW, the maximum power of the e-moving and e-environment motor is 150kW, the peak torque is 310N.m, and the pure electric mileage under CLTC conditions is 420km and 510km, respectively.
Dongfeng Honda e: NS1 as a pure tram, it does not pursue the ultimate performance too much, but from the daily travel needs of consumers, in the practicality of the fuss, through more intelligent configuration of the load, but also let the driving quality has been further improved. So which of the several models is more worth recommending? Let's make a comparison.
The first is the e-type version priced at 175,000 yuan, which is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD dashboard, a 15.2-inch central control large screen, and a Honda CONNECT intelligent guide interconnection system. If you look at the standard of fuel vehicles, it can be called an entry-level high-end, but Dongfeng Honda e: NS1 positioning is "intelligent driving fun pure electric SUV", this configuration level is slightly worse.
Looking at the e-chi version priced at 189,000 yuan, although the price is 14,000 yuan, the improvement of the configuration is also very obvious. Not only added a series of active safety configurations such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning, reversing side warning, active braking, parallel assist, road traffic sign recognition, full-speed adaptive cruise, etc., the tires were also upgraded to 18 inches, and also added a segmented non-openable global sunroof, leather steering wheel, active noise reduction, mobile phone wireless charging, electric adjustment of the main driver seat, front seat heating, 6 speakers audio, adaptive far and near light, exterior mirror heating, interior mirror auto-dimming, automatic wiper, Dual-zone air conditioning and other configurations.
The level of intelligence of this configuration model is already quite high, if you don't mind the mileage, then the e-chi version is very recommended.
Next, the e-moving version, priced at 207,000 yuan, is 18,000 yuan more expensive than the previous configuration model. The most obvious improvement is the cruising range, reaching 510km, other new inductive electric tailgates, streaming media rearview mirrors, DMC driver status perception system, AR real-life navigation, etc. Although it can enhance the sense of technology, but it is more than some icing on the cake, if you are very focused on the mileage, you may wish to take a look at the next top model.
The e-environment version is priced at 218,000 yuan, and the configuration adds front parking radar, 360-degree panoramic image, automatic parking, electric adjustment of the co-driver seat, rear seat heating, 12-speaker BOSE sound and external power supply function.
As the top model in all aspects of the function is certainly the most comprehensive, although it is 11,000 yuan more expensive than the previous configuration model, but the increased configuration is more practical, can greatly reduce the driving burden, so if the budget is sufficient, the top model is also worth recommending.
Red Dot Car Reviews:
From the perspective of pure trams, the price and configuration of Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 are still very generous in the same class of models, especially the e-chi version with a price of 189,000 yuan, which has a higher cost-effective advantage in the same class.
But how the future sales remain to be seen, because the current reputation of the Honda brand is more based on engine technology, and now the Honda e:NS1 under the support of the electric motor, whether it can still create a unique Honda driving pleasure, but also depends on whether consumers can discern the pearl.
