A few days ago, a rider from Foshan consulted Nian Han, saying that he had taken a fancy to the Dongfeng Honda HR-V, and now he is struggling with whether to start it, because he still has several alternatives, such as CR-V, Rongfang and Haoying. If you want to get it, is it better to choose the gasoline version or the gasoline-electric hybrid?
Of course, if you don't give priority to new energy vehicles, Honda's cars are indeed quite good, like the Fit, Civic and Accord, as well as the style that was launched last year, the sales and reputation are quite good, the main thing is a smooth power and fuel-efficient economy, which is very suitable for commuting in urban areas.
However, have you noticed that Dongfeng Honda's SUV is indeed more sought-after than Guangqi Honda's SUV, like CR-V and X-RV, which sell well in compact SUVs and small SUVs respectively, but this HR-V is not optimistic, even if the price is reduced by tens of thousands, sales do not seem to have increased much.
It is reported that the HR-V is a cheap entry-level SUV launched by Dongfeng Honda in April this year, but compared with the CR-V, the market response of the HR-V does not seem to be strong, even if the terminal market already has 35-40,000 yuan discount, even the entry version has fallen to 12About 50,000 yuan, it did not make many consumers excited.
Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's evaluate the car first and then make a general summary. It is worth mentioning that the exterior design of the HR-V shows the perfect combination of urbanism and sportiness.
For example, the front end adopts Honda's unique design language, with a striking headlight cluster and a unique grille design.
The sleek lines of the body not only enhance aerodynamics, but also increase the visual appeal of the vehicle. On the whole, the exterior design of the HR-V is basically in line with the aesthetic trend of modern urban SUVs, not lagging behind but not too advanced, and it is decent.
The body size is 4569mm long, 1840mm wide, 1611 1621mm high, and the wheelbase is 2655mm, which is enough to provide spacious space for passengers and luggage.
Although it is not the largest in its class, it has a reasonable layout of space and can meet the daily needs of most family users.
As for the interior, Nian Han won't say much, it still retains Honda's unique "original flavor", focusing on practicality and simplicity, and mainly using black plastic materials. While this design may not be as luxurious as some of its competitors, it excels in terms of practicality and durability. The layout of the car is humanized and easy to operate, which is quite in line with Honda's consistent style, and you know it.
And in the area of technology configuration, that's it, there is not much to remarkable. For example, it is equipped with Honda's safety super-sensing intelligent driving system, including full-speed adaptive cruise control, active braking, and lane departure warning system.
These advanced driver assistance systems improve safety and make the driving experience easier and more enjoyable. The touchscreen and infotainment system in the centre console are also in line with current vehicle technology trends. To put it simply, it is to follow the mainstream, but it will not take the initiative to surpass, after all, the cost is there.
Next up is performance, and the HR-V is equipped with 1The combination of a 5T engine and a CVT gearbox provides the necessary power while maintaining good fuel efficiency. The maximum horsepower can reach 182 horsepower, the maximum torque can reach 240Nm, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 696l。This is especially true for city driving and daily commuting, and this power combination can easily handle most driving scenarios.
In addition, the petrol-electric version of the HR-V is equipped with a 2A 0-liter self-aspirated engine and a 135kW single motor, combined with an E-CVT gearbox, produce a combined horsepower of 327 hp and a low power of 5Fuel consumption of 13L per 100 km. This is indeed a very attractive feature for economical consumers.
However, it is worth mentioning that the HR-V has made significant improvements in chassis and suspension design, and for the first time has adopted a four-wheel independent suspension system. This design not only improves the vehicle's handling, but also improves driving comfort. The HR-V is still suitable for home use while maintaining athletic performance.
Finally, there is the problem of price, Nian Han believes that the ** positioning of HR-V is at a medium level, not cheap but not expensive, but it provides a high cost performance. Although the recent market performance has not been as expected, resulting in a certain preferential margin, its comprehensive performance and brand reputation still make it a competitive choice in the market.
When facing competitors such as the Toyota R**4 and Volkswagen Tiguan, the HR-V may not have an advantage in some aspects, such as interior design and body size.
However, in terms of power performance, energy consumption performance and technology configuration, the HR-V has shown its unique advantages. The good reputation of the Honda brand combined with the practicality of the HR-V has given it a place in the highly competitive compact SUV market.
Therefore, Nian Han thinks that if you have a limited budget, you can consider CR-V, but if you consider the gasoline-electric hybrid version of the field car, I think Haoying is more cost-effective than HR-V, what do you think?
