Following Honda's release of the hr-V, a new compact SUV in the North American market, GAC Honda has introduced it as a new ZR-V model and named it "Zhi zai" Chinese.
In view of the high degree of consistency between the appearance of the new car and the AMERICAN version of THE HR-V, it can also be used as a global model, rather than a domestic specialty, positioned between Binzhi and Haoying, and is expected to be listed in the near future.
As a Honda model, the ZR-V has very different design elements from the Honda family, and the overall style is curvy.
Judging from the latest official picture, the front face of the new car adopts an oval honeycomb-shaped front grille, with an exaggerated front bumper, so that the new car presents a strong sense of muscle.
From the side of the body and the rear, the new car shape is more curved than Honda's other series models, especially compared with the European version of HR-V, the new car is more full.
The biggest change is that the rear door handles of the new car have returned to the traditional design, unlike the European version of hr-V personalization.
Although the official has not yet announced the parameters of the US version of HR-V, the new car is based on a new generation of Civic platform, which means that the wheelbase of the new car will reach 2700mm. For reference, the European version of HR-V is 4330/1770/1605mm in length, width and height, and wheelbase is 2610mm, which also indicates that the size of the US version will be significantly improved.
It is worth mentioning that the European version of HR-V declaration chart has been exposed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China a few days ago, and will be produced by Dongfeng Honda, named XR-V, which means that the positioning of the US version of HR-V launched by Honda this time may be higher than that of the European version of HR-V.
In terms of interior, with reference to the local interior map exposed by the AMERICAN VERSION OF HR-V, it can only be known that the new car will use the latest suspension screen design of the Honda family, and it is impossible to know what kind of design the new car will use.
It is not excluded that because the new car is based on Honda's new Civic platform, the interior will continue the design of the new Civic, but it may also directly adopt the design of the European version of HR-V, after all, the latter is more in line with the design of the SUV.
In terms of power, although the North American market has not yet released the power information of the latest model, it is more likely that the new car will continue the 1.5T engine of the same Honda model, given that the new car is based on the Honda Civic platform.
For reference, GUANGQI Honda is equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine with a maximum power of 182 hp, matching 6MT and CVT stepless speed.
Considering that the new car positioning will be between Binzhi and Haoying, the new car competition will also include more entry-level compact SUVs, such as Nissan Qashqai and Toyota Corolla Relex.
Toyota Corolla Sharp Release
Guidance price: 12.98-16.98 million yuan
Nissan Qashqai
Guidance price: 15.49-18.89 million yuan
Volkswagen Tuyue
Guidance price: 15.66-22.38 million yuan
At present, although it is not known whether Honda will carry out the "north-south dual-car strategy" of the US version of HR-V and the European version of HR-V, at least with the introduction of the current two models, it can be seen that Honda has refined the domestic SUV field through more models like Toyota, in an attempt to achieve more market share.
Netizen 1: Looking at the real "Ford", did no one spray plagiarize at this time?
Netizen 2: If the pricing is reasonable, it should become a hit!
Netizen 3: It seems that Binzhi is going to cancel the 1.5T engine...
Netizen 4: Binzhi is non-independent after the Fit platform, and now it is one level higher to change the Civic platform!
Netizen 5: So the price estimate will not be very low, bold guess 150,000 starting from sale!
