AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/30 Report--

On November 30th, Guangzhou Auto Honda's new generation of colorful wisdom officially launched, a total of three new models, the price range is 13.29-152900 yuan. It is understood that Xizhi is a small SUV launched by Honda in 1998, which is named "VEZEL" in the Japanese market and "HR-V" in other markets around the world. In October 2014, Guangzhou Auto Honda introduced it to China, using the Japanese version of the English name Vezel, known as colorful Zhi in Chinese, and Dongfeng Honda using the English name XR-V and Xianwei in Chinese.

As a replacement model, the new colorful wisdom redesigns the appearance, its front face adopts the chrome-plated grille design, at the same time, the original round design is adjusted to be harder, the net and the car body adopt the same color design, the LED daytime driving light belt is connected with the chromium-plated strip, and the shape of the headlight group is more sharp. In terms of color matching, the new colorful wisdom brings six car colors, including the rattan purple car color launched by the Honda brand for the first time in the world, as well as two-color matching schemes of Greenland white / black top and rattan purple / black top.

From a side point of view, the biggest feature is the use of a slippery back design, the whole car is no longer the front low and back high dive style, but has become a straight traditional SUV style. The side waistline runs from the front wing panel to the taillight position, and the inclined C-pillar is similar to the current Guandao / UR-V and other models. Interestingly, the iconic hidden doorknob of the back door is still preserved. In the rear part, the Honda LOGO is designed in the center of the taillight, the through taillight uses a multi-level design, the upper part is a red LED taillight, it will be lit at night, the lower part is a transparent headlight design, and the hidden exhaust layout is adopted. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new colorful wisdom are 4380/1790/1590mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm. Compared with the current model, the length and width of the car increase by 52mm and 18mm, but the wheelbase remains the same.

In terms of interior decoration, with reference to the overseas version of VEZEL and the new XR-V, it abandoned the asymmetrical center console of the previous generation, and changed it to a straight center console similar to the Civic with a suspended central control screen design, with smoked black strips in many places of interior decoration, making the whole car look younger. Specifically, the new car uses a brand new three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, with a suspended 9-inch central control screen (built in a newly upgraded Honda SENSING security super sense and Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligence guidance interconnection system) under the knob control unit, through air outlet and floating central control screen, which is similar to the 11th generation Honda Civic. Under the air conditioning control area, there is a separate storage compartment for the mobile phone, and there is also a USB power supply on the left and right. The maximum use of storage space has always been one of the advantages of Honda. In terms of power, the new colorful wisdom is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, the maximum power 91kw, the maximum power 145N m, and the transmission system matches the CVT gearbox.

As a sister model, the new generation of XR-V officially went on sale on August 28th, with a price range of 13.29-152900 yuan, which is consistent with that of Guangzhou Auto Honda. In the small SUV market, colorful Intelligence and XR-V can be said to be quite strong, in this field, we can hardly see the shadow of Volkswagen and Toyota, but with the continuous development of Chinese brands in recent years, the new colorful wisdom will mainly face products from Chinese brands in the future. In October, Qiyue was the No. 1 seller in the small SUV market, ranking 2-5, respectively, including Nadao V, Changan CS35 PLUS, Lengke 06 and Geely ICON. Qianzhi and XR-V fell out of the top five places, respectively, which may be affected by generation replacement and lack of cores.
