Recently, Dongfeng Honda Lingxi brand's first model Lingxi L was officially released, the car is positioned as a compact pure electric car, the appearance is basically based on the concept car mass production, but the interior restores the design style of the early concept car Honda e, this exaggerated five-screen is still rare today. According to official information, the car will be publicly unveiled on April 26 and go on sale in the second half of the year.
In terms of appearance, the car uses a lot of triangles, broken lines and other elements to create a strong sense of the future. The front part of the car is marked by the Lingxi car with three linear light strips, which divides the front of the car into multiple parts to form a three-winged front face shape. Among them, the two horizontal light groups form a through-type layout, the polygonal headlight groups are connected on both sides, the rectangular headlights are wrapped in the curved daytime running light strip in the lamp cavity, and the triangular fog lamp area below is supplemented by a supplementary light, which is highly recognizable as a whole. In the centre of the nose is a closed grille, complemented by angular lines and a hollowed-out trapezoidal lower grille, which gives the front end a more layered look.
The side of the body is a fastback sedan shape, but the overall posture is slightly thicker, and it does not overly pursue low lying and streamlining, but has a hint of crossover feeling. In terms of details, the windows and roof are completely blackened, with an angular multi-segment waistline, and the side skirts have special decorations in the shape of hooks, creating a strong sporty atmosphere. In addition, the car is equipped with hidden door handles, electronic exterior mirrors, two-tone five-spoke wheels, coloured brake calipers and other elements, and the car is surrounded by green trim strips, which once again add a sense of style.
At the rear, the tail box is finished with a towering upturned ducktail tail with a small black wing at the edge. The trunk line is recessed inward, with the through-light lights embedded in it thickened and curved back on both sides, and an additional triangular dot matrix light source underneath to echo the headlight cluster. The logo is placed on the lower edge of the rear windshield, and the "V" shaped high-mounted brake light is hidden at the rear to further enhance the design. The rear bumper is finished with a large diffuser trim to complete the sleek sporty design.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the car are 4830/1845/1503 mm, and the wheelbase is 2731 mm, which is only slightly larger than the Qin PLUS EV, and it is a compact sedan.
The interior of the car, which was previously shown on the concept car, has been replaced with a continuous five-screen design, reminiscent of Honda's concept car Honda E launched in 2019. The five screens are spliced, the middle three screens are the LCD instrument, the central control screen and the co-pilot entertainment screen, and the most two sides are spliced with the electronic rearview mirror screen, with the HUD head-up display, it has enough excellent scientific and technological performance. Considering the current market environment, electronic rearview mirrors are likely to be optional.
In addition to the eye-catching five-screen screen, other designs are much more conventional, such as the physical buttons in the island area have a strong fuel vehicle style, and the new energy style represented by the five-screen has a strong sense of separation. As for the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with black and white contrast technology, French-style electronic shift knob, and Honda's signature telescopic cup holders, it seems relatively pragmatic.
In terms of power, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has only declared a single-motor version, and the motor supplier is Zhixin Technology Co., Ltd., with a model of TZ200XSBT1 and a maximum power of 160 kilowatts. The battery capacity and range parameters have yet to be officially announced.
After the launch of the new car, it will compete with similar models such as the Qin PLUS EV and Aion AION S MAX, and with its relatively large body size, it will also be able to seize the market share of mid-size sedans such as the Model 3, Seal, and Xpeng P7i. If you want to get better sales, you have to look at the pricing. How much do you think the price of the car is appropriate? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
