In the past four years, Guandao has also evolved, and now 2020 models have been launched, with a price range of 220,000-332,800 yuan. The new car has been improved in appearance, configuration, power, etc., providing two kinds of two-color bodies, namely, cool black/Venice blue and cool black/Xingyue white (the two-color models are only sold in Guangqi Honda Mall and Guangqi Honda Tmall official flagship store), and the richer color matching is intended to attract more young users. This test drive is equipped with 370TURBO? 9AT Supreme AWD two-color model, the market guidance price is 332,800 yuan.
The appearance is intended to be close to young people.
The overall design of COVID-19 Road continues the previous style. At first glance, there is no obvious change, only the details have changed. However, the effect of this "micro-plastic surgery" is still good, and the overall feeling is more refined than before. The wide chrome-plated decorative strip at the middle net has deeper horizontal lines, and the lower air inlet has changed from the original honeycomb grille to the horizontal strip style, further broadening the visual effect. At the same time, the layering of the front bumper is also richer, and the three-dimensional sense is "extra points". The functions of adaptive low beam and automatic headlight are worthy of recognition. At the same time, the front and rear turn signals increase the effect of running water, which not only improves the convenience of daily vehicles but also increases the appreciation.
There is no drastic change in the side of the car body, only a set of multi-frame 19-inch wheels are replaced, which, together with the burly car body and sliding roof design, creates a sense of crossover.
I always thought that the side face was perfect angle of Guandao, but now, the tail of Guandao has become more pleasing to the eye. This should also be the most obvious place for new car replacement. The taillight shape and lower enclosure have been re-carved, and the most conspicuous thing is exhaust. However, it should be noted that the outer two of the four exhaust pipes are empty. Although this is a bit disappointing, it is quite real and its value is online, which is still good.
In fact, the appearance of Guandao has not changed much since it came out four years ago. Today, the public acceptance is still very high, and the design is not "out of touch" at all. It is also an attractive car in Honda, which proves the skill of the designer. This time, the new two-color body of the 370TURBO model retains the eyes of young hipsters, supplemented by muscular body lines and four exhaust tailpipes, showing its sports trend style and successfully attracting young users. To be honest, the appearance of this new car is really a hint to me.
Extremely high configuration? Huge space
The change of COVID-19 Road interior can be said to be minimal. As a whole, it still retains the previous design, and provides three color schemes, mainly reflected in the details decoration and the adjustment and upgrading of some functions. In terms of materials and materials, the new car enhances the sense of luxury by improving the texture of leather, designing more exquisite stitches and adding many silver trimmings.
When I got into the car, I blurted out the word "big". Honda, the master of space, has maximized the utilization rate of the five seats, and the rear space is also the place where the crown road can best reflect the sense of luxury. It's a bit conservative to describe luxury. Almost all the comfortable configurations you can think of are covered by the crown road, and the rear passengers are not ignored. Seat heating, rear sunshade and rear multimedia control are numerous, and the richness of configuration can be described as the only one at the same level.
Crown Road has an ultra-long wheelbase of 2820mm, and the fully open angle of the rear door can reach 90 degrees, which improves the convenience of getting on and off the rear passengers, and the spacious rear space is also eye-catching. Coupled with the flat rear floor design, the ride comfort is remarkable.
The configuration of the front seats is not low. Compared with the old model, the leather of the seat has a perforated design, which has the functions of ventilation and heating, and the electric adjustment button has also added a silver trim to highlight the exquisiteness. The standard driver/co-pilot/rear 3-zone independent automatic air conditioning system and the unique key shift of the 370TURBO model make Crown Road better in creating a sense of luxury. Around the shift key, you can also see three driving mode selection keys, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, snow mode and steep slope descent function, among which the steep slope descent function is newly added to the 2020 model. The buttons are wrapped in a lot of leather, so it is quite convenient to operate them with your hands on them.
But the fly in the ointment is that I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in the interactivity of multimedia systems. Low-profile models with CarPlay and high-profile models with Honda? Connection, this configuration makes this test drive car without CarPlay function, replaced by Honda's car networking system. Judging from the current mainstream market, Honda's system is monotonous, and the menu logic and touch screen response speed are not excellent enough, so it is generally competitive among peers.
However, the steering side view function that can be displayed on the big screen has a good experience. In addition, the reversing rearview mirror can automatically turn down, and the problem of blind spots around the vehicle is well solved through multiple cameras installed outside the vehicle body. Moreover, this multimedia screen can also be adjusted from multiple angles in the form of buttons, which further enhances the sense of science and technology in the car.
It doesn't drive like a big guy.
In terms of power, all the new crown roads have reached the "National Six" emission standards. The new car is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 272 HP and a peak torque of 370 Nm. The dynamic parameters are quite eye-catching. The transmission system matches ZF's 9-speed automatic gearbox.
Officials claim that COVID-19 Road accelerates 7.8 seconds in 100 kilometers, and the initial driving experience is really light. Although it is so big, it feels like driving a light and compact SUV. This feeling is mainly because the new crown improves the opening and closing of the accelerator pedal and the corresponding torque output, and the adjustment of low torque is more abundant, so that the car can start to exert its strength without stepping so deep.
When passing through a city section, even if there is a crawling traffic jam, the crown road still behaves calmly and shifts gears smoothly, which makes people feel almost no frustration and always unconsciously rises to the highest grade, which is of great help to fuel economy.
This power combination of COVID-19 Road has not made a fool of itself in urban areas, expressway and other road conditions, but it can bring you a good sense of speed in normal mode. With the start of sports mode, the engine speed is increased to about 3000 rpm, which is fast and aggressive, and the steering force of the steering wheel also changes with the change of driving mode. The support of the suspension system is also increased, giving people a sense of compactness in an instant. However, comfort will not be compromised. Thanks to the ADS full-time adaptive damping system, the overall damping effect is excellent. COVID-19 Road is properly handled, whether it is a slight vibration after bumping the road surface or a large vibration when passing through potholes or speed bumps. It can isolate the discomfort of the chassis, and the suspension has certain toughness. Although the stretching range is large, the overall performance is relatively stable. However, this suspension system is so comfortable that it is easy to nod when the braking force is slightly higher.
In addition, Honda's proud safety extrasensory system is very useful and can help you see everything clearly. Active and passive safety technology configuration is very pleasing in terms of ease of use and sensitivity, which can keep drivers in a relaxed driving state at all times. Test drive in expressway, Honda? The inductive intelligent driver assistance system is stable, accurate and very practical. For example, LWC blind spot display system can effectively reduce the visual dead angle of rearview mirror when driving to multi-lane sections, making driving safer and more convenient. There is also ACC active cruise control system with LSF low-speed car-following function, which can follow the vehicle in front at a speed of 0km/h, and can automatically stop and restart the vehicle in front, especially suitable for urban traffic jams.
It is also commendable that the quietness inside COVID-19 Road cars is one of the most intuitive manifestations of its sense of luxury. COVID-19 Road is equipped with double-deck sound insulation glass as standard, and ANC active noise reduction technology and rim mute technology are adopted to create a more comfortable driving experience.
Write it at the end
During this test drive, I can feel that COVID-19 Road has brought its sports and luxury products into full play. Whether it is appearance, interior, space, or power control and configuration, its luxurious texture always runs through the inside and outside. Generally speaking, COVID-19 Road has made many adjustments in details, and its color scheme is more diversified, which also makes up for the shortage of previous configuration. More exquisite workmanship, more careful details, and improved power system. The most important thing is that the space utilization rate is really attractive.
Judging from the overall quality of the vehicle, the performance of COVID-19 Road is worthy of recognition. According to the latest data, COVID-19 Road sold 5,329 vehicles in July. Since the listing of 365,438+0 in March, the cumulative sales volume in four months has exceeded 25,000. Therefore, the product strength is not nonsense, and the feedback from the market and users will give strong evidence.
