As a compact sedan owned by Guangqi Honda, the new Lingpai will be announced on the evening of September 28. At the same time, the car will be unveiled at the Tianjin Auto Show that opened on September 29, and The Car Emperor took the lead in photographing this new car that will soon be launched. Judging from the real-life pictures, the new car has been modified in terms of appearance and interior, and the power part continues to provide fuel and hybrid systems to choose from. For this new small "Accord", are you looking forward to it?
The rear has not changed much, except that the trim between the tail light groups on both sides has been changed from chrome to body color or dark chrome
The family-style design trend in the automotive field has been particularly prevalent in recent years, and the decentralization of the top-down design language of the same brand models can make the models with relatively low positioning be "favored". Judging from the new Lingpai models, this design principle is even more obvious. Like the front face design of the miniature Accord, it will undoubtedly allow consumers of this car to feel some of the appearance of the B-Class, especially the inverted trapezoidal front grille and single banner chrome trim.
In terms of body size, the new Lingpai has a length, width and height of 4766/1804/1509 mm and a wheelbase of 2730 mm. For reference, the 2019 Lingpai model has a length, width and height of 4756/1804/1509 mm and a wheelbase of 2730 mm. In contrast, the length of the new car increased by 10 mm, and the other dimensions remained unchanged. However, it should be noted that the new Lingpai body length has surpassed the new Civic of the same compact sedan by 92 mm.
The new Lingpai is fitted with a new three-spoke multi-function steering wheel
In terms of interior, the new Lingpai is equipped with a new three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, its multimedia display shape has been adjusted, and the operation buttons have been optimized and upgraded to touch operation.
The model pictured is a 1.5-liter hybrid version of the engine compartment
In terms of power, the new Lingpai continues to offer a 1.0T three-cylinder engine and a 1.5-liter oil-electric hybrid system to choose from, with a maximum power of 90 kW and 80 kW respectively. In terms of transmission, the 1.0T model can choose from a 6-speed manual or CVT continuously variable transmission, and the 1.5-liter hybrid system matches the E-CVT continuously variable transmission.

To fill the gap between the Civic and Accord markets, Honda's Compact Sedan Lingpai, built exclusively for the Chinese market, was released in 2013 and was developed based on the stretched Fengfan (CITY) architecture. Subsequently, in September 2018, guangqi Honda released the second generation of Lingpai, and based on the second generation of Lingpai, Dongfeng Honda released its sister model Envix. Then today's new model to be launched is the mid-term redesign of the second generation of Lingpai.
