Looking at the domestic joint venture MPV market segment, the few who take the lead in sales can be regarded as many years of wrongdoers. Among them, Honda's Alexand and Odyssey are representative models of the Japanese system, and the two seem to have maintained a relatively low profile in the entire market competition, Accent is positioned to be more business- and Odyssey is a little younger and sportier, seemingly silent and irrelevant, but in the actual performance of the secret and their opponents.
Interestingly, both honda odyssey and Alexon have completed the replacement, which is bound to bring impact to the Toyota Sena and Buick GL8. So, since the changes in both cars are very large, which car will be more powerful after the replacement? Today, Brother Bucket Car will take you to analyze the Honda Odyssey and Alexandre together.
Speaking of the twin model strategy, the bucket car brother first thought of Honda, from the Civic, the type to the Accord, Yingshipai, this "two-handed" approach Honda has always been good at. Odyssey and Alexandre are changing generations at the same time, and it is not difficult to see that Honda is going to put this two-car strategy on the MPV model this time.
Exterior styling
The design of the entire front face of the Odyssey is completely different from the old model, the positioning is biased towards sports and personalization, the new hexagonal shape is replaced, the interior is decorated with simple banner chrome strips, and the LED light set greatly enhances the sophistication of the whole vehicle. The lower surround adopts a penetrating shape, and the sharp front lip creates a radical feeling of the front face, which looks obviously atmospheric.
On the side of the body, the new Odyssey still maintains the style of the old model, the waist line is slightly raised, the new style of five-star blackened wheels, bringing a more sporty posture, and the rear of the body has also been more obvious changes, including the new taillight style, the new through-type chrome strips, etc., look more designed.
The design of Alexand is a business style, and the positioning is biased towards business reception. The exterior design has been greatly upgraded, and its front face shape adopts a new matrix grille, and the overall aura is even more domineering than that of the Odyssey! New LED headlights, and the addition of flowing water turn signal effect, the shape of the headlights has become more square and decent.
On the side of the body, the new car still retains the traditional MPV heavy body structure, and the relatively high hood shape is quite atmospheric. In addition, the tail change of the new Alexand is mainly due to the newly designed taillight group, which adds a blackened design, coupled with a penetrating chrome decorative strip, the atmosphere is more prominent. And the shape of the entire tail is also more calm than that of the Odyssey.
Interior design
The new Odyssey interior also has no small upgrade, the central control area layout is very simple and atmospheric, the central console is decorated with light wood grain trim in a large area, coupled with the floating LCD display, multi-function steering wheel, the application of the new electronic button shift, and the touch-type air conditioning control panel, so that the Odyssey has significantly improved its sense of technology and fashion.
The pictures and videos released by Alishen this time have not yet presented the overall interior design of the new car for us, but we found that the new car was replaced with a new center console, and with a floating central control screen, in addition, the new car will also be replaced with a new button shift mechanism, daily use is more avant-garde, and the convenience is also improved. The new car has also been specially upgraded for the rear seats, and we can see that its second row of aviation seats is very wide and thick, and its comfort is expected to be greatly improved.
Power part
In terms of power, the new Odyssey and Alexand are equipped with Honda's third-generation SPORT HYBRID i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system. The system consists of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine combined with an electric motor with a maximum power of 107 kW and a peak torque of 175 Nm for a 2.0 L naturally aspirated engine; an electric motor with a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 315 Nm, and the drivetrain is matched with an E-CVT electronic stepless gearbox.
Market analysis
At present, the domestic MPV market is roughly divided into two camps: one is the mid-range market represented by joint venture brands such as Buick GL8, Odyssey, and Alexon; the other is the luxury market represented by Alpha and Wilffa. Bucket Car Brother believes that nowadays, the domestic consumer group is gradually younger, and the younger Odyssey and Alexand are more in line with the domestic market demand after the replacement.
Write in the last words:
Finally, no matter what the characteristics of the two cars have changed, one thing we can be sure of is that the replacement of the two cars has become younger, but they have made some small changes, Odyssey may pay more attention to young sports, and Alexand is bound to have a better business atmosphere. As for how the sales of these two cars will be in the future, Brother Bucket believes that the sales of the two should still be maintained at a comparable level.
