According to the latest new car application information on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new Guangzhou Automobile Honda Haoying has appeared in the declaration catalogue, and the new car is expected to go on sale in December.

According to previous reports, the new car will also launch a hybrid version of HEV and PHEV plug-in hybrid models.

In terms of appearance, the appearance design of the three models is basically the same, and the main difference is reflected in the body size. The new car has lengthened the wheelbase like Dongfeng Honda CR-V, which is a sister car, but the appearance does not adopt the design style of overseas CR-V, but is optimized on the basis of cash models. Specifically, the new car basically extends the styling design of the models on sale, but there are some changes in details, such as the use of a new style on the front face and the elimination of the large intake grille and sturdy chrome strip design of the cash model, instead of using slender through strips. At the same time, the new car also adjusts the front enclosure area and enlarges the lower air intake. The shape of the full LED headlight group is wider and the whole looks more simple. On the side of the body, the new car is slimmer and offers brand new Silver Mist Green paint for the first time, making it younger as a whole. In the rear part, the new car also maintains the shape of the cash model, but the taillight group has been adjusted and the bottom has been changed to a bilateral square chrome-plated exhaust layout.

The body size of the new car changes greatly, the new car lengthens the body data, of which the 1.5T four-wheel drive version of the length, width and height is 4716/1866/1691mm, the wheelbase is 2700mm, providing 19-inch rims and can be equipped with two-color body; the 1.5T two-wheel drive model is 4716/1866/1681mm, the wheelbase is 2701mm, providing 17-inch and 18-inch rims and other options. For comparison, the length, width and height of the current model are 4634mm, 1855mm, 1679mm/1689mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2660mm/2661mm. On the seat layout, the new car offers the same choice of seven seats as the CR-V.

The interior has not been officially announced, but the new car is expected to continue Honda's current family design, in line with Guangzhou Auto Honda's style and ZR-V. On the power side, the new car continues to carry a 1.5T DOHC direct injection VTEC 240TURBO turbocharged engine, maximum power 142kW, transmission reference model, or will match Honda's usual CVT gearbox. It is reported that the new car will also launch HEV hybrid and PHEV plug-in hybrid models.

For the exposure of the new generation of Haoying declaration map, netizens have different comments, and some netizens think that the appearance of the new model has retrogressed and is not as stunning as the old model.

According to the query of "Automotive Industry concern", Haoying BREEZE is a compact SUV owned by Guangzhou Auto Honda, which is sister to Dongfeng Honda CR-V. On August 26, 2019, GAC Honda launched an interactive online naming campaign for the new car, which immediately sparked a heated discussion in the auto circle, and the Chinese name of the new car was eventually named "Haoying". Haoying officially launched at the end of November 2019, launching a total of 11 models with a price range of 16.98-252800 yuan. The Haoying model is the product of Honda's "two-car strategy" in China. Although it is a Chinese special version, it is also a homologous car of Dongfeng Honda CR-V. In December, the car was selected into the "2020 Chinese market fuel vehicle TOP100" list.

From the point of view of the listing time of Haoying, Haoying has been listed for less than three years, and the normal iterative rule of the new car is "three-year change and five-year replacement", that is to say, Haoying has been on the market for less than three years but has already carried out a replacement. However, from another point of view, the new generation of Dongfeng Honda CR-V model has already been released overseas, the domestic version of the model has also completed the declaration of the new generation CR-V, and is expected to be replaced in the near future, while Haoying as a Dongfeng Honda CR-V homologous car, simultaneous replacement is actually reasonable, after all, the two are sister models.

As the first medium-sized SUV under GAC Honda, it has maintained a high degree of attention in the market since it was launched in 2019. In a previous survey of "100 car owners commenting on new cars", most car owners approved the appearance and interior design of Haoying models. Of course, some car owners reflected that there were some problems in car body accessories and electrical appliances. The latest data show that from January to July this year, GAC Honda Haoying accumulated sales of 64616 vehicles, basically maintained at more than 9000 vehicles.
