AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/09 Report--

GAC Honda Haoying is the most controversial model recently. After the collision map was released in mid-June, netizens scolded it. The "internal results" exposed a few days later pushed Haoying to the forefront of public opinion, while a statement by China Insurance Research that "sensitive data was stolen" made Haoying's collision results complicated and confusing. However, the serious bending of Haoying A column has become a fact, and many netizens think that it will affect the follow-up market performance of the car to a great extent.

According to the latest official sales report of Guangzhou Auto Honda, the sales of Haoying models reached 14208 in July and continued to exceed 10,000, which is already a good result for a new model that has only been on the market for eight months. However, compared with the 20,000 units achieved in June, Haoying's July sales dropped by 30% compared with the previous month.

The collision of Haoying in China Insurance Research C-IASI in mid-to-late June was frequently exposed online, because some consumers had already booked their cars and were waiting to pick up their cars, and the authorities had not formed a final conclusion, so in theory, Haoying's June sales would not be too big a blow. As public opinion continues to ferment, Haoying's market performance in July can better reflect the impact of "A-pillar bending" on sales and consumers. In the end, Haoying reduced sales by 30% compared with the previous month, that is, a reduction of nearly 6000 customers, which means that the poor performance of the collision has affected the choice of some prospective consumers.

From the serious bending of the A-pillar, to the exposure of the internal G rating results, and then to the declaration of data theft, a series of operations have puzzled netizens. But the only thing that is certain is that Haoying failed under the front 25% offset collision test.

As an important barrier to protect the cockpit and the strengthened structure closest to the driver, the A-pillar can hardly have any room for compromise, which is also the direct standard for most consumers to judge whether the structural quality of the vehicle is qualified or not. On the other hand, the Haoying A column was seriously bent, the door almost fell off, the structure of the car body was obviously deformed, and the front of the car invaded the cockpit, which was unacceptable to consumers and Honda fans.

Guangqi Honda, which restarts the official blog comment area, can still see the skeptical voice issued by netizens. One of the netizens expressed his request to GAC Honda and said, "Please reinforce the A-pillar bar." Another netizen expressed dissatisfaction and said, "A-pillar paper paste bar."

Netizens should be careful to comment on Haoying's A-pillar question, no matter out of teasing or sincere attitude, because Weibo shows that GAC-Honda's official blog has recently blocked some users of malicious comments, and some netizens warned "beware of being blocked" in the comments area. After all, enthusiastic netizens, as Honda fans or car owners, do not want to become officially certified "black fans".

So far, the final collision result of Haoying is still a mystery. On June 20, the China Insurance Research Institute issued an official statement saying that the relevant test results of the company had been stolen and had been reported to the police.

China Insurance Research also said that the official website has not released the Honda Haoying test results in any form so that it does not bear any legal responsibility for the release, dissemination and use of the Honda Haoying insurance auto safety index test results. At the same time, the relevant model test results will be announced on another day.

GAC Honda insiders said in an interview, "We thought that the release (results) is the final result, did not expect the plot can still play this way." We are also waiting for the official results, and we will let you know as soon as we have any news. "

Guangzhou Auto Honda's new compact SUV Haoying officially launched at the end of November 2019, launching a total of 11 models with a price range of 16.98-252800 yuan. Haoying is the product of Honda's "two-car strategy" in China. Although the car is specially supplied in China, it is also homologous to Dongfeng Honda CR-V and is transformed by GAC Honda's localization. It is also the first compact SUV under GAC Honda.

Did not expect Haoying just launched to encounter a "rollover", A-pillar bending is already a fact, more is looking forward to the final results of C-IASI. At the same time, the follow-up market performance of the incident to Haoying also remains to be seen.
