In the minds of most car enthusiasts, Honda is indeed a golden signboard with gold content. When it comes to Honda, handling, fuel economy, and excellent interior space are all indispensable, and they are proud of their sales.

In fact, Honda also has some new car sales sluggish, even less than 9,000 units sold in the whole year. The new car introduced today was once a hit, and this model is a sister model of the Honda Lingpai.

Honda Xiangyu's annual sales in 2023 will be 8,170 units, which is extremely sluggish, and the sales volume in January this year is only 3 units, which is basically in a state of discontinuation. Therefore, the price discount is exaggerated to the extreme, and the manufacturer's guide price of Honda Xiangyu is 109,800-169,900. Other competitors always like to give less discounts on entry-level models, but this Honda Xiangyu low-profile model has a huge discount, with a discount of nearly 40,000 yuan, and the entry-level price has come to 70,000 after the discount.

The price is indeed on offer, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of Honda Xiangyu. Speaking of advantages, it is impossible not to mention the excellent exterior design. The body length of the Honda Xiangyu is close to 4.8m, with the driving space of a B-class car, and the appearance is a bit similar to the previous generation of Honda Civic.

From the exterior configuration, it is matched with a halogen light source, and the LED daytime running lights are also eliminated. In addition, we didn't find that the new car has a rear parking sensor or a reversing camera function, so this is a relatively serious new car. The wheels are made of 16-inch aluminum alloy with tire pressure monitoring. In the body data part, the length, width and height of Honda Xiangyu are 4772/1804/1509mm, and the wheelbase is 2730mm, which is almost the data of a quasi-B-class car, and the space in the car is extremely spacious, which is also the biggest highlight of Honda Xiangyu.

The interior design is relatively simple, and the entry-level model not only cancels the central control screen, but even the multi-function steering wheel and leather seats are eliminated.

During the ride, I found that both the front and rear rows are very spacious, especially the rear space, my height is close to 1.8m, sitting in the back row without pressure, and I can even easily cross my legs. It is worth mentioning that not only the rear seats are spacious, but the manufacturer has also designed the trunk to be deep and wide, so the space in the second row does not encroach on the trunk volume.

As for the powertrain, this Honda Xiangyu is equipped with a 1.5L gasoline-electric hybrid system consisting of an electric motor, but the entry-level model is a simpler 1.0T + CVT continuously variable transmission. The main reason why this new car is very low is because it is a three-cylinder powertrain, and it is this three-cylinder engine model that we are driving.

At first, we thought that the fuel economy of the three-cylinder version of the engine should be excellent, but during actual driving, it was found that the engine had a weak start, and there was a roar at the start, and the fuel consumption of the whole new car was pulled higher. The actual fuel consumption reached 8.2 oil per 100 kilometers after one day experience, and because the power reserve is shallow, the noise of the engine is obvious.

In the actual experience, I found that the overall steering wheel is actually a bit heavier, so it is relatively stable when running at high speeds, and there is no light driving feeling, but it is difficult to speed up again after reaching 100km/h. As for the shaking of the three-cylinder engine, it is not obvious to the eye, which is quite unexpected.

To sum up, the advantage of Honda Xiangyu is that the interior space is spacious and the price is preferential, and the disadvantage is that the power is weak and the noise is large. So the advice given is that if you really feel good about this car, don't hesitate to consider the hybrid version directly, and the price is quite affordable.
