The CR-V was launched simultaneously at home and abroad, with the same design, while the Haoying, as a sister model, was long overdue. The exterior of the new car has a new design.
Whether compared with the current Haoying or the new CR-V, the appearance of the new car can be described as unique, especially the new fog forest color scheme, which is full of juvenile feeling. The chunky chrome has been removed, the front face looks lighter, and the exaggerated large mouth gives it a more youthful and sporty feel.
The headlights are more slimmer, and the daytime running lights on both sides use chrome connections, giving the illusion of running through the light strip in sunlight. Adding a lens to the inside of the headlight is believed to improve the lighting effect.
The side lines have also been redesigned to make the shape cleaner. At the same time, the body size has been further increased, the length of the car has increased by 82 mm, and the wheelbase has been increased by 40 mm. The newly added 19-inch petal wheels have a sporty shape and the tires are Michelin LATITUDESport 3 in size 235/55R19.
The rear of the car has also been redesigned, and the white space on the taillights is covered by black trim plates, with two colors at the top and a narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, making the overall shape more stocky and heavy. The overall silhouette of the taillights is still the same, but the changes in the details are very obvious, and they look more stylish and sophisticated. A cleaning device has been added to the camera for the reversing camera.
The interior styling is to be expected.
Compared with the exterior, the interior of the Haoying is too expected, whether it is the same design as the CR-V or the previous Civic and style. The leather wrapped in the steering wheel feels very delicate, and the rich physical buttons are easy to operate, and the texture is also excellent.
The slush molding process is used above the center console, and the workmanship is good, but the materials can only be considered decent, after all, the ZR-V is wrapped in leather. HondaCONNECT3.0 can finally be experienced this time, with a high success rate of speech recognition and support for semantic recognition. The functional aspect is relatively basic.
The clarity of the panoramic image is definitely a huge improvement for Honda, and it can finally be seen clearly, but it is still only at an adequate level.
The clarity of the streaming mirrors is excellent, but I always have to focus every time I want to see a video clearly, and the first thing is always a reflection. The air conditioning part retains the physical buttons, and the texture is very good. Many manufacturers say that the cancellation of physical buttons is for the sense of technology, but I think the cost of this kind of textured knobs and keys is too high.
The Haoying is equipped with front knee airbags and rear side airbags as standard, and the whole car is equipped with 10 airbags as standard, which is the same as that of the CR-V.
Haoying is the first model equipped with HondaSENSING360 in Guangben, and the detection range of the high-definition camera has been increased from 50° to 90 degrees, the detection range of the radar has been increased to 120°, and the detection range has been increased to 5 millimeter-wave radars, and the detection range has been increased to 360°.
The trunk has also added a delayed closing function, it is inconvenient to hold the luggage with both hands, you can click the button first, there is no time limit for taking the luggage, and the tailgate will automatically close after the person leaves.
The power is robust, the chassis is advanced, but ......
The power system is still the familiar 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 193 horsepower and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. The drivetrain is still mated to a CVT gearbox. In addition, the key to the Shadow is very interesting, similar to the Mazda6 many years ago. The chassis part adopts a MacPherson independent suspension in the front and a multi-link independent suspension in the rear.
The turbocharged engine is very stable under Honda's tuning, and the power response at low speed is very follow-up, which is very easy to control. The power is no problem with everyday acceleration and overtaking, but the excellent response at low speeds does raise expectations, and at high speeds you need to press the throttle deeper to get the expected power delivery.
In addition to the great advantage of smoothness, the CVT transmission is also decisive in simulating gear shifts, and the revs are quickly ramped up and the power response is fast. Compared with the previous test drive of several models with a starting price of 300,000, Haoying is the cheapest and has the lowest level, but the high-end sense of the chassis is the best.
The chassis handles bumps more delicately, and the vibrations are like carefully packaged soft packs. Correspondingly, when merging quickly or on long ramps, you will feel that the lateral support is not good.
The pointing is more precise, and the front of the car responds sensitively, but the steering damping is too heavy, and it will be a little sour when driving through long ramps with one hand, and girls should be more tired when driving.
