On February 18th, a new generation of Honda colorful Intelligence was officially launched. As a replacement model, the new Honda colorful has redesigned the appearance and interior, and offers fuel version and hybrid version for consumers to choose from.

According to the real car picture published on Honda's official website, the new generation of colorful wisdom has adopted a new family design language, and the overall shape is obviously different from that of the models on sale. It is understood that the new colorful wisdom will adopt two styles of front grille design, the hexagonal middle net is connected to the narrow headlights on both sides, and the lower bumper is also different.

From the side point of view, the biggest feature is the use of a slippery back design, similar to the crown road, the side waistline runs through the front wing board to the taillight position, the shape is relatively strong. As for the rear part of the vehicle, which is similar to the Honda U-RV, the taillight adopts a through design and a hidden exhaust layout.

The new colorful wisdom interior layout has also been redesigned, using a three-frame multi-function steering wheel, a through air outlet and a suspended central control screen, similar to the 11th generation Honda Civic. In addition, the car-machine system supports interconnection functions such as CarPlay and Android Auto, the roof has double skylights, and the "magic seat" function still matches.

In terms of power, the new car will provide fuel version and hybrid version for consumers to choose from. Among them, the fuel version is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and the transmission system matches the CVT gearbox. Hybrid system through the e:HEV X, e:HEV Z and e:HEV Play three models, are equipped with 1.5L Atkinson engine + dual motor e:HEV hybrid system.

It has been 7 years since the launch of the old model, and now it has ushered in a new generation of models, no matter the appearance, interior decoration and power are beginning to follow the market development. However, from the netizens' evaluation of the brand-new colorful wisdom, it seems that they are not satisfied with the innovation of its appearance.

It is understood that the new car will be officially launched overseas in April this year, and the new car will continue to be introduced into the domestic market as colorful Intelligence / XR-V, and will be sold domestically by Guangzhou Auto Honda and Dongfeng Honda respectively. Of course, the introduction of a new generation of colorful wisdom produced in China may be adjusted in details such as appearance.

It is understood that Xizhi is the first SUV under GAC Honda, which was officially launched in October 2014. As the third Honda strategic model introduced after Accord and Feido, it is one of the three best-selling models under GAC Honda. Data show that Honda's cumulative sales of 150400 vehicles in 2020 are second only to Accord. However, due to the imminent replacement, the short-term downturn in the sales of colorful wisdom, although the sales volume is still more than 10,000, but there has been a significant decline compared with the previous. Therefore, with the domestic production of a new generation of colorful wisdom, colorful wisdom will also usher in a new growth point.

According to the latest figures released by Honda China, its terminal sales in China in January were 157457, up 4.8 per cent from a year earlier. Among them, GAC Honda terminal sales were 67321, down 12.2% from the same period last year; Dongfeng Honda terminal sales were 90136, up 22.5% from the same period last year.
