AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/26 Report--

When it comes to Honda flying, many people are still familiar with it. Although it is a car that can be bought for tens of thousands of yuan, it is not low in China. It is highly sought after by consumers with its performance in terms of power, space and fuel economy. It is even called "national sedan car" by netizens because of its outstanding product power. In the case of a shrinking small car market, the flying performance is indeed surprising. However, it is such a high-sales model that does not meet the sixth national emission standards.

At the Guangzhou Auto Show, Guangzhou Auto Honda announced the official launch of the 2020 Feido. The new car offers a total of six models with a price range of 7.38 yuan to 102800 yuan. Compared with the old models, the new cars are basically the same in appearance, price and power, but they are better than the previous generation models.

The 2020 older models have not changed much in appearance, with the forward air grille decorated with chrome strips, the bumper and the fog lights on both sides adjusted, and the overall Honda family design style. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4096/1695/1525mm and the wheelbase is 2530mm. In addition, the 2020 Feido offers six car colors: Sky Blue, Glacier Silver, Ocean Blue, Ruili Red, Taff Silk White and Blossom Orange.

The interior design of the new car still follows the design style of the existing models, and there are basically 2018 models with the same flying degree. However, the configuration has been improved, and all models are equipped with safety configurations such as VSA body stabilization system, tire pressure monitoring and ramp assistance.

In terms of power, it is also consistent with the 2018 model, which continues to carry a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output power of 131hp and a peak torque of 155Nm. The transmission system matches a five-speed manual and a CVT transmission.

It is worth noting that the 2020 flying range is still a national five emission model, so it gives people a sense of clearance of the national five engine. In many sixth-country areas, this car will not be licensed, thus blocking the sales channel of Feido in many big cities.

Netizens also talk about the situation that the new model is still not suitable for country 6, and each has his own views.

It is understood that from July 1, most cities across the country, including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places, will implement the national six emission standards, which means that models with national five engines will not be available in these cities.

From the point of view of the flying degree of the cash, it is still equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which is difficult to meet the sixth national emission standard. Therefore, Guangben officially announced that after the implementation of the sixth national standard, the full range of cash flying models will no longer accept bookings, and manufacturers will continue to dispatch and sell cars in areas where the sixth national emission standard has not been implemented in advance.

Feido sales continued to decline because it could not be sold in most cities because it did not support the national six emission standards. Before the implementation of the sixth national standard, Honda Feido basically sold more than 10,000 vehicles, compared with 14506 in May. June sales were due to inventory clearance by major dealers before the implementation of the sixth national standard, with sales reaching 15601 vehicles. In July, when the sixth national standard began to be implemented, sales fell to 5180 vehicles, and by October this year, sales fell to 4212 vehicles, down 68.5% from the same period last year.

In addition, according to the inquiry from the car quality Network, the number of complaints against Honda Feido has also been increasing in recent months, from 37 in August to 65 in September to 118 in October, and the number of complaints has basically doubled. The main problem of the complaint is the jitter and abnormal noise of the 1.5L engine carried by the fit.

However, even under the frequent engine problems and the restrictions of the sixth national standard, it is a surprise that Honda Fedor can still sell about 5000 vehicles.

In fact, with the implementation of the sixth national emission standards, many Honda products have changed their engines to meet the emission standards in order to prolong the sales cycle. Take Honda Xizhi as an example, before the change, it mainly used 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, but after the change, it has been replaced with a 1.5T turbocharged engine to meet the sixth national emission. Since the launch of Feido, it has been nearly half a year since the implementation of the sixth national standard, the netizens still have a heated discussion that the new model is still unable to support the sixth national standard. After all, the title of "national sedan car" is not groundless.

As for how long it has been on the market, why Honda still does not change the engine that supports the sixth national standard, in fact, each has its own views. Some netizens think that Guangben's launch of Feido is also a suicide price from the very beginning, and it is basically a loss throughout its life cycle. Now Honda no longer needs to earn fame at a loss, but in the shrinking A0-class small car market, there are fewer and fewer models to choose from, indicating that Honda's flying does not make money, but that this level of models do not make money.

However, some netizens think that Honda is "holding back a big move". Feido does not launch the national 6 model now, which has two meanings: one is to dispose of the inventory of the national 5 engine in the area where the national 6 standard has not yet been implemented, and the other is to go directly to the brand-new flying national 6 model, so as to save costs and prevent more national 5 vehicles from becoming unsalable cars.

Guangzhou Auto Honda Liu Zeli revealed that the new generation of Fido plans to be introduced to the Chinese market next year (2020). A total of five versions of the car were displayed at the global debut of the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. GAC Honda will introduce some of these models according to the preferences and preferences of young Chinese consumers. At the same time, the new car will still use a four-cylinder engine instead of a three-cylinder engine.

However, these are all guesses in the industry. In fact, why Guangben did not launch the national six model may only be known by the manufacturers.
