AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/17 Report--

GAC Honda Ling Pai is a special car in China, specially built for users in the Chinese market. Although this car is currently equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine, its cost-effective and large space features have also attracted the attention of many Chinese consumers. In order to further enrich the product lineup, GAC Honda will launch a hybrid version of Ling Pai, but the price may disappoint consumers.

According to online news, the pre-sale price of the hybrid version of GAC Honda Ling Pai starts from 140000 yuan, and the new car is equipped with 1.5L i-MMD hybrid system.

Lingpai 1.0T fuel version of the full range of models priced at 9.98-139800 yuan, by contrast, the 140000 hybrid version, will indeed let consumers down. In addition, the price of Guangzhou Auto Toyota Leiling hybrid version at a higher level starts at 133800 yuan, while that of FAW Toyota Corolla hybrid version starts at 135800 yuan, which does not exceed the threshold of 140000 yuan. Therefore, the mixed version of Ling School starting from 140000 yuan is very difficult for consumers to accept.

From the point of view of appearance, the hybrid version of Guangzhou Automobile Honda Ling School basically continues the styling and design style of the fuel version, and the huge chrome decoration of the front is one of the biggest features of the car. The new car is equipped with a HYBRID exclusive blue logo and a HYBRID exclusive logo is added to the side of the body.

From the side, the car will be equipped with 17-inch two-color rims and the body is no different from the ordinary fuel version. It is worth noting that there has always been some controversy over the body proportion and styling of the Ling School. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4756/1804/1509mm and the wheelbase is 2730mm.

In terms of interior, the new car also uses the fuel version of the main design as a whole, and is equipped with a SBW button electronic shift with a 7-inch color TFT display in the center.

On the power side, the new car is equipped with a 1.5L hybrid system with a maximum engine power of 109hp (80kW) and peak torque of 134Nm, which is matched by a motor with a maximum power of 131hp (96kW) and an E-CVT gearbox. Under the cooperation of engine and motor, the maximum power output at the same time is 154 horsepower (113 kW). At the same time, the new car will meet the national six emission standards, according to officials said the car comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.1L/100km.

The price of the Ling hybrid version from 140000 will indeed dissuade some consumers, after all, consumers are very sensitive to the price when choosing this class of models, so they can choose other hybrid models such as Lei Ling / Carola twin engines at this price. Considering the problem of its own positioning, we do not rule out the possibility that GAC Honda will set a final price lower than the pre-sale price when it goes public in the later stage.

It is worth mentioning that the 2019 Ling Pai only got an M rating under the PICC Research C-IASI test, and the front 25% offset collision and side collision were both M, mainly because the cockpit was invaded, the A-pillar was bent, and there was a lack of side head airbag protection.

Ling Pai sold a total of 154000 vehicles in 2019, which shows that consumers are more satisfied with this Chinese special version of the model. The hybrid version further enriches the product lineup and gives consumers more room to choose, but only if a more competitive price is needed.
