In the latest issue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s declaration information, Dongfeng Honda has applied for the HR-V model. However, from the appearance, this applied HR-V is different from the North American, European and Southeast Asian versions of HR-V. same. But judging from the body size and wheelbase, it should be regarded as a twin car of the GAC Honda ZR-V. Ever since, the fragmented naming method of Honda has completely disrupted its model system in the global market, and it can be regarded as completely confusing everyone. Next, the car player will come and deal with it with everyone.
Judging from the exposed application pictures, the new car adopts the latest design style of Honda family . The front face adopts a shield-shaped front air intake grille, and the interior is decorated with blackened honeycomb elements; the split headlight groups on both sides of the grille adopt a long and narrow shape, and are decorated with a silver chrome plate in the middle. Paired with the front air intake grille, it creates a very aggressive front end. The lower enclosure of the
new car adopts a three-section design, and the bottom air intake grille adopts C-shaped air guide grooves on both sides, which increases the recognition of the front of the car. Overall, the appearance of the new car adopts a calm style.
In addition, low-end models will be equipped with 17-inch rims, mid-range and above models can provide electric sunroofs, and high-end models will not only provide 18-inch rims, but also use rear privacy glass. In terms of the side shape of
, the new car adopts a compact body design, and black decorative strips are used around the windows and side skirts, making the overall look more sporty.
At the rear of the car, the rear shape of the new car looks very full. The taillight design echoes the headlights, and a black panel is used in the middle part. In addition, the rear enclosure of the new car also uses a large black panel, which is matched with the exhaust layout of two places on both sides below (exclusive for high-end models), which not only creates a sporty atmosphere at the rear of the car, but also gives the rear of the car a good sense of hierarchy. .
Through comparison, it can be found that the domestic version of HR-V and the US version of HR-V have major differences in taillight shape. The US version uses a unique split headlight, which is more recognizable.
As for the interior, there is currently no specific interior information about the new car. It is expected to adopt the same design style as the interior layout of the ZR-V Zhizai. It will be equipped with a full LCD instrument panel, a floating central control screen, and air-conditioning outlets. It runs through the entire center console. In addition, the interior layout of the American version of HR-V adopts the same design as the Civic .
As for the power part, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine model L15CG, with a maximum output power of 134kw and a peak torque of 240N·m. The transmission is matched with a CVT gearbox.
Finally, we return to the body size and wheelbase of the new car. This is the key to confirming the model platform. The length, width and height of the HR-V declared by Dongfeng Honda are 4569/1840/1621mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2655mm. The dimensions of the Guangqi Honda ZR-V are 4568/1840/1621mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2655mm. This is also the most critical reason why both Higashimoto HR-V and Hiroshi ZR-V are derived from the North American version of HR-V.
Let’s compare the declared information of Dongfeng Honda’s XR-V and Guangzhou Automobile Honda’s Vezel Binzhi. The dimensions and wheelbase of the two cars are exactly the same, 4380/1790/1590mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm. These two cars can be judged to be the same model, that is, the Japanese Vezel and the European and Southeast Asian versions of the HR-V.
Higashimoto HR-V and Hiromoto ZR-V share the same platform as the Civic, and are significantly larger than Higashimoto's XR-V and Hiromoto's Vezel. The product correspondence between Honda's two joint ventures in China should be clear.
car player summary:
2022 can be said to be a big year for Honda Motor’s products in the Chinese market. A series of blockbuster global models have also been put into production in China. Regarding the two joint ventures Higashimoto and Hiroyuki, Honda is fairly even-handed and adopts a two-vehicle sales strategy. The dual-vehicle strategy of joint venture brands is already commonplace. In fact, everyone should be accustomed to it.
Just in case someone asks, who is the "main palace" HR-V? Maybe I can't explain it clearly in three or five sentences, so just give yourself a break.
