Kung Fu Car | in the name of "ZR-V", more "zhi", more comfortable

On May 5, Guangqi Honda released a preview of the new ZR-V SUV. The new compact SUV, which was prototyped from the North American HR-V, eventually chose the ZR-V as its name.

What is there to see in this new car? What does it mean for GAC Honda's SUV sequence? Let the kung fu car take everyone to see it together.

In the name of "Z", it is more present and more comfortable

In terms of positioning, ZR-V should be a model between XR-V and CR-V, and even the overseas version is the "middle name" HR-V. After the introduction of the domestic market, Hiromoto named it ZR-V, which is actually quite flattering to the "Generation Z" young people, which is more obvious from the design point of view.

The design concept of the new car originated from the honda New C-SUV, which means that its design concept is actually derived from Honda's new C-class SUV model. Honda injected two Honda spirit keywords into this design concept, namely "create something that doesn't have" and "work for yourself", completely breaking the conventional design approach.

Including no longer pursuing toughness like other SUV models, paying more attention to showing the unique personalities of designers and developers, and completing the two-way release of the personality of the car itself and the user's personality.

Its front face features an integrated, geometric sport grille and sharp, thin headlights, coupled with a statement oval notch that makes the vehicle look more wide, low and sporty, while also providing good heat dissipation and aerodynamic performance.

From the side of the body, the ZR-V's side streamline continues from the front grille to the raised rear fender, combined with the blade-style waist line that runs through the lower part of the waist, the laser welded roof, and the large area of black paint skirt, which looks very prominent in terms of strength and jumping.

The rear of the new car is simple and full, and the tailgate dividing line is combined with the flat roof, showing a continuous rearview effect of a smooth surface. Coupled with the soft geometric block line sense and the tail hook-shaped black tail lamp, it looks like a full sense of combat.

Hiromoto's Chinese for ZR-V is called "Zhi Zai", which means to ride freely in the unknown world, allowing "Generation Z" young people to gain insight into new experiences.

Although the interior design of the new car has not yet been exposed, combined with the characteristics of the overseas version of the model, it is likely to be equipped with the latest Honda CONNECT 3.0 system.

The biggest feature of this system is the use of Smart AI technology, which can achieve industry-leading intelligent voice interaction experience. Its natural semantic comprehension ability is very strong, and it expresses natural processes, the response is also very fast, and it also has a good Chinese semantic comprehension ability, which is quite useful for young people. In addition, Honda CONNECT 3.0 also supports remote control functions, in addition to the control of the car machine system, it can also control the smart home at home. Of course, this system also supports the "OTA online upgrade" function, which can ensure that the more you use it in the future, the better it is.

With a very subversive appearance and a good intelligent configuration, Hiromoto's new car has really done enough to "please" young people.

In the name of "Z", GUANGC Honda has a new speed

Unlike Binzhi and CR-V, ZR-V is a crossover SUV built on the Civic platform. It's not as flat as a traditional SUV, but more like a Civic Crossover, sporty enough and practical.

In terms of power configuration, Honda is not stingy at all. Judging from the official picture exposed by Guangqi Honda, the tail mark of the new car is impressively written with the words "240TURBO", Honda fans are not unfamiliar with this, referring to the Honda "L15BL" 1.5T engine, the maximum horsepower is 193 horses, the maximum torque is 243 Nm, and the maximum torque output can be maintained in 2000-5000rpm.

This engine uses Honda's VETC variable valve timing technology, which can control the size of the valve opening angle, obtain a larger intake when performance is needed, and reduce the intake when fuel saving is required, so as to achieve fuel consumption and performance. In addition, compared with Honda's previous generation of 1.5T engines, the new 240T power uses the latest cooling system, which greatly reduces the consumption of less coolant, and can also achieve rapid heating in cold areas, which can better adapt to the needs of cars in cold areas in the north.

Coupled with Honda's CVT gearbox with G-Design Shift", the entire driving experience can be guaranteed for extreme acceleration while maintaining excellent ride.

With performance on par with the CR-V and Haoying, as well as a compact, sporty body, there is no doubt that the ZR-V will become Honda's most sporty SUV model. Compared with models such as Mazda CX-4, Volkswagen Tange, and Corolla Ruifang, ZR-V undoubtedly has more sports genes and can pursue a higher dimension of driving pleasure.

The ZR-V launched in this case, choosing to "decentralize" the high-end design of the C-class SUV, choosing to match it with a stronger power system and intelligent configuration, how to see is enough sincerity.

The original GUANGQI Honda SUV sequence has been quite perfect, and the market share is quite gratifying. Binzhi is easy to open, energy-saving, Haoying is balanced and practical, Guandao is a large space, luxury, in fact, they can already cover the needs of most home users. At this time, adding an avant-garde, sporty ZR-V, I feel that the intention to give back to users has been greater than the simple market meaning.

In fact, Guangqi Honda has recently made many similar moves, such as "resurrecting" the type INTEGRA, and even equipped with a manual version. These are not pure market-level actions, but they are very reflective of Honda's culture. Of course, ZR-V with its high appearance and good practicality, its explosive characteristics are still higher than other models.

Kung Fu shoots

The addition of ZR-V has further improved GAC Honda's fuel SUV camp, and its high appearance plus sports positioning can well attract young people of the Z generation.

Overall, ZR-V's competitiveness is believed to be quite good. The sense of movement and design are also enough to be seductive. Now the biggest suspense is the price, and I hope that Guangbin will give more surprises.
