Guangqi Honda Haoying, a model that will inevitably appear in the family SUV purchase list, has gained the love of more than 600,000 users in five years since its birth in 2019, and it can be said to be a treasure model voted by consumers. Nowadays, with the advent of the new energy era, in order to take care of users' needs for energy saving, Guangqi Honda Haoying has also launched the Haoying e:PHEV model.
In addition, from the price point of view, the guide price of the Haoying e:PHEV market is 225,900 yuan-259,900 yuan, and the overall price range is close to the HEV version, breaking the previous pricing system of Guangqi Honda and even joint venture models, purely to provide consumers with one more choice. In addition, with the advantage of green card tax exemption, the final landing price of the Haoying e:PHEV is more fragrant. Recently, the editor of "Caiquan Club & Dao Ge Says Car" also had an in-depth experience of Haoying e:PHEV.
In terms of actual car experience, compared with more plug-in hybrid systems on the market, the biggest feature of the plug-in hybrid system of Haoying e:PHEV is that the power is still strong enough in the full speed range and in the feeding state, which is significantly different from our usual impression of plug-in hybrid "no power". Of course, the "character" of Haoying such as comfortable space and excellent handling has also been inherited, and as a continuation of classic models in the new energy era, Haoying e:PHEV can be said to be a "hexagonal warrior".
Honda is also very good at plug-in hybrids
In the era of new energy vehicles, the rapid rise of independent brands has overshadowed the brilliance of joint venture brands, but at the same time, it has also created the strongest "information cocoon" of new energy only independently. As we all know, in terms of hybridization, Honda and Toyota are the two pioneer brands in the industry, and the Haoying e:PHEV is based on Honda's fourth-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, which can bring a very good experience.
During the week-long test drive, the author successively experienced the two states of full charge and feed-in of the model, and the road conditions experienced during this period also included urban congestion and highway sections. An obvious feeling is that the power of the Haoying e:PHEV has not changed significantly due to different environments, whether there is power or no power, the power output is relatively stable, no matter whether it is low speed or high speed, there will be no weakness.
And this performance is thanks to its plug-in hybrid system, the fourth-generation i-MMD plug-in hybrid system equipped with Haoying e:PHEV is composed of a 2.0L engine + E-CVT gearbox + 135kW drive motor, and most of the working conditions are motor driven, the power is just right, to ensure the smoothness of the vehicle, only at medium and high speeds or cruising speeds will switch to the engine direct drive.
The complete power output in all working conditions, combined with the vehicle's one-pedal mode and precise steering and roll control, the vehicle's handling attributes are still relatively obvious. In addition, the Haoying e:PHEV is also relatively economical, and the fuel consumption will not exceed 6L/100km, which is still amazing considering the size and strong power of its mid-size SUV.
At the same time, the Haoying e:PHEV is equipped with ADS full-time adaptive damping system as standard, which can generate the best damping force without stages to achieve stable driving in all road conditions, as far as the entire driving experience is concerned, the biggest advantage of the ADS full-time adaptive damping system is to allow the vehicle to reduce the bumpiness of the driver and passengers as much as possible in the face of some uneven road conditions. If you are traveling with the whole family, the importance of this configuration will be greatly increased.
The intelligent configuration is full of sincerity, and the inheritance of space magic is still the same
In addition to the commendable plug-in hybrid system, the Haoying e:PHEV is more surprising than the joint venture models of the same level in terms of its intelligent configuration. Although from the perspective of the entire cockpit, whether it is the instrument or the UI design of the central control, it has little to do with the sense of technology, but the built-in intelligent configuration can indeed make people feel contrasting.
The Honda SENSING driver assistance system is equipped with the Honda SENSING driver assistance system, which can achieve lane keeping, lane centering, LWC blind spot display system, road traffic sign recognition, ACC active cruise control (with LSF low-speed following function), etc., greatly improving the safety of daily travel. The test drive was also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic view, a streaming mirror, a digital key, a voice recognition control system, and a CarLife function.
In the actual experience, not all of these functions are actually used, but only in terms of the configuration used in the LWC blind spot display system and 360-degree panoramic image, the performance of the product is still good. Of course, the inheritance of Honda's "space magic" is also reflected in the Haoying e:PHEV, which has a length, width and height of 4716mm/1866mm/1681mm and a wheelbase of 2701mm, reaching the size ceiling of SUVs in the same class, and the "shared area" is extremely small, and the occupant space in the car is preserved to the greatest extent.
At the same time, the ergonomic leather seats in the cabin, the center armrest box suitable for passengers of all sizes, the retractable luggage compartment visor, the advanced shift handle, the four-way adjustable multi-function steering wheel, the front seat back storage bag, the front overhead glasses case, the front sun visor vanity mirror (with lighting) and many other practical features also make the product more warm.
It is worth mentioning that thanks to the new high-energy-density battery that can be placed under the front seats, the trunk space of the Haoying e:PHEV can reach up to 658L.
Overall, the Haoying e:PHEV is a very balanced model, and it has almost all-round advantages in terms of power output compared to the Haoying fuel version. Its green card tax exemption and the delivery of charging piles are even more sincere. Of course, now the new energy vehicle market and even the entire market is still in the "price war" turmoil, the starting price of Haoying e:PHEV in the entire market is actually not very surprising, but the principle of "you get what you pay for" is actually understood by everyone, combined with the stability of Honda and the product power of Haoying e:PHEV, such a price is actually cost-effective.
