AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/27 Report--

The fifth-generation mid-term revamped Guangzhou Auto Honda new Odyssey officially went on sale today, with seven models priced between 235800 and 354800, the ordinary model between 23.58 and 328800 yuan, and the well-being version at 34.08 yuan and 354800 yuan respectively. The new model has a great change in the front face, and the body color has also been increased from 3 to 6, with a 7-inch TFT LCD dashboard and 10.1-inch suspended central control screen, and the use of Honda CONNECT3.0 intelligence guidance interconnection system, support for voice assistant, car home interconnection, OTA upgrade and so on.

The starting price of 235000 is quite attractive, which is lower than the earlier online price of 25-350000. It's just that the price difference between the 235800 entry-level enjoyable version and the sub-low-level smartphone version is much higher than that of other versions, which means that the mainstream sales model can still go up by 275800, and the starting price of 235800 will only be a joy. An additional model has been added to the 2022 well-being version, and there are some differences in naming. In the past, the well-being version and the ordinary version used the same name. Honda may think that this makes it too easy for car owners to infer the price of the well-being configuration. As a result, a separate naming method is used in the naming of the new model.

At a disadvantage in the struggle with the gentry, the two wheelbase consistent space has a slight difference, the Odyssey is more defeated in the face, fortunately, the new front face and wheels are updated, even if the Odyssey Japanese pedigree is more pure, and the appearance still has to do the article.

The new Odyssey side continues the style of the current model and continues to use the design of the side sliding door. In the rear part of the car, a wearable chrome strip is added to the rear to connect the headlights on both sides to improve the recognition of the rear of the new car. In terms of size, the new Odyssey length, width and height are 4861/1820/1712mm, wheelbase 2900mm.

In terms of interior decoration, the older models also have obvious upgrades, such as the brand-new three-spoke steering wheel, suspended central control screen, upgraded electronic gear, air-conditioning system has also been upgraded to touch buttons, and wood grain panels have been added to the central control panel. In terms of power, it uses a hybrid system. According to the previous application information, the new Odyssey will be equipped with a hybrid system composed of 2.0L engine, the engine reported power is 107kw, and the transmission system matches the E-CVT gearbox.

Family planning will be opened this year, and as in the past, the market expects next year to be the first year of MPV, even though this forecast has been going on for many years. On the one hand, the MPV market is that the industry's expectations for the market are too high, and there is no too high-speed growth. On October 30th, Guangzhou Auto Toyota's new MPV Sena officially launched six models with a price range of 30.98-405800 yuan, slightly overlapping with the high equipment of the Odyssey, of course, without considering the price increase. After Sena opened the pre-sale, the news of price increase and car increase continued to be heard in the market, but unfortunately, there was also a miscalculation in Toyota's calculation. A netizen who claimed to be a sales user exposed that the original plan for a price increase would exceed 100 sets at the end of this month. As a result, only 14 sets were ordered for a conservative price increase in two months. I do not know whether this is false news deliberately released by Toyota in order to calm the market criticism of the price increase. But there is no expectation of popularity or objective reality.

On the other hand, there are indeed more and more subdivided opponents on each front of MPV. In the past, it was the only choice on the price of the Odyssey, but the ups and downs will not happen on it after the diversion. Now the market has a big difference, and the sales performance of Odyssey has stayed in the current more balanced state for quite a long time. According to the sales list of the last month, Wuling Hongguang and Buick GL8 have more than 10,000 models, 16353 and 11214 respectively, both down from the same period last year. In terms of other models, most of the top 15 were independent MPV, of which the Chuanqi M8 performed well, up 49.9% from the same period last year to 7118. Total MPV sales in the first 11 months of this year rose 4.2 per cent year-on-year to 964000, down 107000 from 1.071 million for the whole of last year.

Odyssey has had an impact on sales in recent months because of the change released this month. The new car delivery may have a different performance early next year, but it has become a reality that it has been suppressed by Dongben Tongmen in terms of sales. The higher configuration, greater discounts and more business scenes put the Odyssey at a disadvantage in this competition, and the change in the front face of the new model may be able to narrow the gap. In the following days, the new Ericsson will also follow up and release details of the medium-term changes. The two kill each other, and the market satisfies Honda, which is the most important thing.
