Honda brand logo also moves from the middle of the panel to the bottom, and the headlights on both sides become sharper and more fashionable as a whole. In addition, the new car also adjusts the front enclosure area, enlarges the lower air intake, uses the same color treatment as the front and rear bumper, side skirt and four-wheel eyebrow area, and provides a new foggy forest green car paint choice. the whole is more simple.

In the rear part, the new car does not change much and basically continues the cash design style. the taillight is composed of red and black lampshade with a broken line structure, which extends to the rear side, and the rear window glass is also treated with an inner concave treatment. the lower encirclement is replaced with a square bilateral exhaust to enhance the sense of movement.

The body size of the new car changes greatly.

For comparison, the length, width and height of Hao Ying are 4634x1855max 1679 (1689) mm, wheelbase 2661 (2660) mm;. The new generation CR-V is 4703x1866x1680 (1690) mm, and wheelbase is 2701 (2700) mm.

In the interior part, the new car continues to adopt Honda's latest family style, with two colors of pure black and black and red, equipped with a 10.2-inch full liquid crystal instrument and a 10.1-inch central control screen. the central control screen removes the built-in modeling and changes to the suspension type. at the same time, the new car is also equipped with a three-frame multi-function steering wheel and a mechanical gear rod, and the air conditioning outlet adopts horizontal penetrating style. On the seat layout, in addition to the 5-seat version, the new car will also add 7-seater versions, using a 2-seat 3 + 2 design.

Netizens have different comments on the seven new versions of the new generation of Haoying.

In terms of power, the new generation of Haoying continues to carry 1.5T DOHC direct injection VTEC 240TURBO turbocharged engine, maximum power 142kW, peak torque of 243N ·m, matched with CVT gearbox. Officials say the HEV hybrid and PHEV plug-in hybrid models will be launched later.

The latest Guantu can be regarded as the second-generation model of Guangzhou Auto Honda Haoying. The first-generation model was launched in November 2019. A total of 11 models were launched with a price range of 16.98-252800 yuan, that is to say, the replacement was carried out after three years on the market. The normal iterative rule of the general new car is "three-year replacement and five-year replacement". As for why the new car is replaced so quickly. Or it has something to do with the replacement of its sister model Dongfeng Honda CR-V.

At present, the new generation CR-V has been officially put on the market on September 28th this year, with a price range of 18.59-249900 yuan. As a replacement product, the car adopts a new family design language, and its appearance and interior also change obviously. The power provides three kinds of power systems: fuel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Among them, the SPORT TURBO sharp T is equipped with 1.5T direct injection VTEC turbocharged engine, which matches the G-Design Shift continuously variable transmission. Maximum power 142kW, maximum torque 243N ·m.

Although Haoying and CR-V are sister cars with similar prices (the current price of Haoying is 16.98-252800; the price of the new CR-V is 18.59-249900 yuan), Haoying is far less well-known than CR-V. As a classic SUV model of Honda, CR-V is favored by consumers in the domestic market, and it has won the first value preservation rate of the same class for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021. Figures show that the CR-V sold 222300 vehicles in 2021, while its sister car, Haoying, sold 162800 in the same year. According to the new car traffic insurance data, from January to October 2022, CR-V sales were 176700 and Haoying 9.52, there is still a gap between the two sales. At present, Dongfeng Honda CR-V has taken the lead in completing the replacement, as for whether the new generation of Haoying can catch up after listing, we might as well wait and see.
