What about the just-released GAC Honda ZR-V? Which is stronger than the Toyota Corolla Replay?

There is a snail friend consultation: what kind of car is the just released Guangqi Honda ZR-V? Which is stronger than the Toyota Corolla Replay?

I found that our backstage snail friends not only asked questions very professionally, but also very quickly. I remember that Guangqi Honda's official picture of ZR-V was only released two days ago. First of all, this car has not yet been seen in the real car, I can only evaluate the car again today, and the information released by the manufacturer is also very small, so I have to add a lot of speculative ingredients.

NameD ZR-V

First, let's start with the name. The name released by the manufacturer is very interesting. First, it is an English name, and the naming method of ZR-V is very not "Guangqi Honda", but like the naming habits of its domestic sister brand Dongfeng Honda. For example, we are familiar with Dongfeng Honda CR-V, UR-V, XR-V, and the corresponding models of GUANGQI Honda are basically familiar to us with Chinese names, such as the corresponding Haoying, Guandao, binzhi;

So I think there are two possibilities, one is that the car Will not cause dongben for the time being, and the other possibility is that the Dongben version will appear under another English name. Of course, this car it does not challenge your habits, there is also a Chinese name, called "Zhi in", this is nothing to comment on, The naming style of Guangben has always been more imaginative, unlike Toyota, it is necessary to start Chinese name according to family nature, Yifeng's are called "** Put", Guangfeng's are called "** Landa", although it is convenient to see its brand and manufacturer heritage, but it is also easy to make people silly and can't remember, can't tell.

What is the ZR-V product strength?

Back to the model, yes, ZR-V is an SUV, more accurately, it is a compact SUV; the name ZR-V is the first time in the world, but if there is no accident, it is actually a Chinese version of an SUV that Honda has just released overseas - HR-V, although the front face on the Hiromoto official map is obviously different from the overseas version of THE HR-V, but we can see that their overall silhouette and design style are basically the same.

Of course, because Hiromoto has not yet announced its three-dimensional and wheelbase size, it is difficult to say whether it will cater to the preferences of Chinese car owners and extend the HR-V or expand in size. However, even if it is not lengthened, with reference to the size of the original H-RV, it will be a circle larger than the Binzhi we are familiar with, and we can see that the overall design style of this car is very full and thick, especially the rear and C-pillar are not used to adopt an excessively slippery design similar to the crown road, combined with honda's "space master" name, I believe that space and practicality will be a major selling point of this car. I don't think the actual spatial performance is much worse than the cr-V of the larger one.

Although the specific parameters of the model have not been announced, but because it is based on a car built on the same chassis platform as the new generation of Civic and model, we can also speculate: First, it will use the independent suspension of the front McPherson and the rear multi-link, and have a low center of gravity and not weak handling performance under the premise of ensuring the passability of the chassis.

The power combination, the main one is likely to be the new 1.5T full-power engine on the current model, 182 horsepower, 240 Nm of torque, with the CVT stepless transmission, this set of power is used in a compact SUV, more raw and fun.

Considering the budget and demands of SUV owners, there may be a small-power entry version to choose from, from the current Honda domestic engine sequence, there are two possible solutions, one is the current Binzhi 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, 131 horsepower, 155 Nm of torque; the other is used in the East Ben Civic entry-level version of the 1.5T low-power engine, 129 hp, 180 Nm of torque.

In addition, we all know that Honda's hybrid has been very popular in China in recent years, including the Civic and the type should soon have a hybrid version on the scene, so it is not excluded that ZR-V will launch a hybrid version at the same time when it is listed, after all, at this year's oil price, the hybrid version is more expected.

Which is stronger than the Toyota Corolla Replay?

That's all I can analyze about the car. You mentioned toyota's newly listed Corolla Relung, which is a version of FAW Toyota, and GAC Toyota's sister car is Fenglanda. Yes, after the ZR-V is listed, they will be direct competitors, regardless of size, space, price, positioning is very close. Toyota and Honda will start a new round of fighting on this new track.

Because ZR-V currently has too little information, I can't make an analysis of who is strong and who is weak, in terms of size, the two cars will be very close, the car length, width and height of the Corolla Reich is 4460x1825x1620mm, the wheelbase is 2640mm, and the actual space performance depends on the design level.

In terms of power, at present, the Corolla Reich and Fenglanda have only a configuration of 2.0 liters of naturally aspirated engines, 171 horsepower, 205 Nm of torque, if the ZR-V can use the same type of 1.5T, there is no doubt that the power occupies an advantage.

In addition, there is a very key place, that is, the price, The current starting price of Corolla Ruizhi and Fenglanda is placed within 130,000, especially Fenglanda, the entry-level version is only 125,800 yuan; and the current Honda Binzhi models on sale, in addition to the manual gear are above 130,000, so if the pricing of ZR-V refers to Binzhi, then it will be more expensive than Toyota's opponents, of course, the competition is so fierce, it does not rule out the possibility that the manufacturer will surprise us.

OK, let's talk about this first, this car [Snail Car] will definitely focus on, you can wait for our follow-up program.
