Taking Guangqi Honda's product line as an example, Binzhi has become the darling of the small SUV market with its large space and low fuel consumption. And Hao Ying, by virtue of its athletic appearance and rich intelligent configuration, has made its own scene in the fiercely fought compact SUV market. So, who should fill the market gap between Binzhi and Hao Ying?
The Guangqi Honda ZR-V we test-drive today is a brand-new compact SUV, which makes up the gap between Binzhi and Hao Ying. Quite innovative design language, Honda Architecture platform of the same model, 182 horsepower, and 240N m 1.5T engine produced by generate. The superposition of these books also made me interested in this ZR-V engine. So, is it a fun-filled young car or a boring capitalist product? Let's reveal the secret for everyone.
First of all, in terms of appearance, ZR-V did not adopt the design idea of large-scale chrome plating of Guangben models in the past. The large-sized blackened air intake grille and the black painted front bumper below set the tone for the sporty temperament of the whole vehicle. Honda "H" logo is placed on the air intake grille, which is also a tribute to its classic sports car S2000. It is worth mentioning that ZR-V is the first SUV model in China to put the Honda logo here, which shows its importance to Honda.
ZR-V adopts Honda's brand-new "Hanfu" design concept on the side of the car body, which brings people a fashionable and sporty visual feeling with simple car body lines. If we only look at this design concept, I think ZR-V is very successful. The side waistline extends from the front fender to the taillights, which is simple and capable. The test drive is equipped with 225/55 R 18 tires, and the Y-shaped five-spoke wheel hub fits the temperament of the whole vehicle well and is full of sports.
When we came to the rear of the car, ZR-V didn't adopt the now popular through taillight design, but the overall shape of the taillight was still very eye-catching, and the taillight also adopted a blackened design, which was in sharp contrast with the red LED strip. The lower bumper is painted in black, and the exhaust adopts the shape of double-sided single-outlet. There are penetrating metal decorative strips between the exhaust pipes on both sides, which makes the tail of the whole vehicle have a strong sense of hierarchy and a heavier visual effect.
Maybe you won't think how brilliant the interior of ZR-V is just by looking at the pictures, but when you see the real car, you will be surprised by the leather material used in the interior on a large scale. The interior layout, which is highly similar to the style, is excellent in both exquisiteness and practicality. Leather can be seen above the center console, as well as in the door panel and central armrest area. On some models, ZR-V also provides a choice of high-grade interior soft materials with pearlescent paint, which will present a unique luster similar to jewelry under sunlight refraction. This kind of interior texture is rare in joint venture compact SUV.
The central armrest area of ZR-V is the one that impressed me most personally. The saddle-shaped central armrest channel leaves enough storage space below, and at the same time, it is equipped with USB interfaces on the left and right sides, which gives consideration to practicality and design sense. The inner space of the central armrest in the back row is deep, and about 4~5 bottles of bottled drinks can be put down at the same time. There is also an area in front of the handle where you can put your mobile phone. It is a pity that ZR-V does not have the function of wireless charging for all mobile phones, but it is equipped in the same price model.
The 10. 1 inch LCD screen on the center console is the standard of ZR-V and equipped with Honda's latest Honda CONNECT 3.0 vehicle-mounted system. The internal UI interface is concise and clear, and the fluency of operation is also guaranteed. The vehicle system supports OTA remote upgrade function. The air conditioning control area below retains the layout of the physical buttons, and I personally praise the touch of the buttons. The three round knobs can display corresponding information in their respective parts, which is very convenient for the blind to operate while driving.
Honda's performance in space has always been very satisfactory, and this ZR-V is no exception. In the case of maintaining a normal sitting posture, there are more than two punches in the leg space of the rear passenger, and there is also one punch in the head space at this time. The overall sense of space is not like a compact SUV with a wheelbase of 2655mm, but more like a ride experience of a medium-sized SUV. Moreover, the length of the rear seat cushion of ZR-V is in place, which is really rare in SUV models at this price. It cannot be overemphasized.
Honda ZR-V is equipped with the same type of 1.5T+CVT power combination, with the maximum power of 182 horsepower and the peak torque of 240 N m ..1.5t. It is not difficult to push this compact SUV, but the daily driving experience brings more light pleasure. Thanks to Honda's brand-new Honda Architecture architecture, ZR-V uses a lot of lightweight materials on the body, which not only pays attention to sports performance, but also improves the safety of the whole vehicle.
Personally, I think ZR-V impressed me more than the dynamic feeling is the excellent chassis texture. The front McPherson and the rear multi-link independent suspension cooperate with the aluminum alloy subframe, which makes the trajectory of the whole vehicle when cornering very clear. When the vehicle speed is fast, it can also provide enough suspension support when changing lanes and turning, maintain a good body posture and give drivers enough confidence.
The accelerator and brake pedal caused by ZR-V belong to a relatively linear adjustment type, which will not react prematurely and will not give people a feeling of "vacancy". I feel the steering wheel, too. There are some empty positions in the middle position, but some road feedback will still be kept in daily driving. It can be said that it ensures the comfort of daily driving, but it does not completely abandon the sports gene. I personally agree with this adjustment. After all, ZR-V is facing more domestic consumers.
In addition, the interior vision of ZR-V has been carefully treated. Honda engineers moved the position of the exterior rearview mirror slightly backward, so that more road information can be observed through the gap between the exterior rearview mirror and the A-pillar when turning, and the blind area caused by the dead angle of the steering line of sight can be reduced. This is a very elaborate little design.
I summarized the evaluation of Guangqi Honda ZR-V as a "breakthrough". The exquisite interior rare at the same level makes people think that this is a Honda, and in the dynamic driving part, the leapfrog texture revealed by ZR-V is not lost to other competing models. It retains the advantages of previous Honda models and has been upgraded in many shortcomings, so as mentioned above, ZR-V is a Honda unlike Honda. I believe that in the future, Binzhi, ZR-V Zhizhai, Hao Ying and Guandao will all be GAC < a class = "hidden" href = "https://CA.
