On December 30, 2021, with the theme of "Tribute to the Times", the new Alexand was officially launched, becoming the "new car in the finale" of the year. In the form of a micro-film, Dongfeng Honda interprets the warmth that occurs in the new "mobile home" of the new Alexand, telling the development process of mutual achievement and co-evolution between Alexand and the user. As a high-end MPV, the new Alexand not only brings a warm and comfortable driving experience to the family, but also a perfect partner for business. Every car owner has a history of fighting for the cause and the family, and the hand in hand with the new AliShen is also the beginning of the next life struggle.
The owner of the car, Mr. Ye, whose home is in Wuhan, has been drifting north for many years, and after returning to his hometown to start a business, his career has also achieved some achievements, and now he has a company of his own. Mr. Ye has a warm and happy family, the couple has a son and a daughter, and there are elderly people in the family to help take care of children, so the space for family cars is a rigid demand. Those "pseudo-seven seats" that can only be contingenced in three rows are definitely difficult to meet the requirements. The new Alexand is 4951mm * 1842mm * 1711mm in length, width and height, wheelbase is 2900mm, the size itself is already large enough, but also adhering to the Honda MM space design concept, almost every seat can get a spacious seating space, even if it is full of seven people, it will not feel crowded.
Secondly, Mr. Ye still attaches great importance to the sense of luxury, and the original car in his home is no longer suitable for hospitality, so he must change to a more high-end MPV for business reception. The high-end sense is reflected in all aspects of the new Alexand inside and outside, with design taste and exquisite details, such as the matrix-type atmospheric front grille, plus the new LED headlights and blackened light belt three-dimensional combination taillights, and the flow turn signal is very visually tense after lighting. In terms of materials, the use of high-quality metal welcome pedals, high-quality seat buttons, new leather quilting process of the door panel, etc., the addition of Burgundy red and white texture interior, which is also the preferred interior color of many luxury cars, the door panel and the large area of diamond-shaped genuine leather on the seat is also more honorable.
Visually, the new Alexand has pulled the sense of luxury to the full, and the comfortable riding experience is of course consistent. The second row of wide first-class seats not only looks dignified, but also extremely comfortable to sit on. Coupled with the adjustment of electric leg rests, heating functions, etc., the second row has become a veritable C position, whether it is caring for family or entertaining partners in business occasions, you can hand over a full score.
When it comes to business occasions, some high-end configurations are still very good to win the favor of partners, such as double-sided magic induction doors, which can open the doors with a wave of gestures, and have a sense of technology and ceremony. In addition, the new electric induction tailgate also increases the ease of use, front and rear double sunroof, plasma air purification system for passengers to have a more respectful experience.
Honda's hybrid system is also one of the best in the industry, Mr. Ye does not hide his love for Honda's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system, which is one of the reasons why he chose the new Alexand, the hybrid system is composed of a 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine + E-CVT gearbox, with EV, hybrid and engine direct drive three driving modes, the three modes of seamless switching, with faster, smoother, farther and more reliable four major advantages. Honda's hybrid system has no doubt about the maturity of this hybrid system, the combined maximum power can reach 158kW, the power is comparable to 2.0T and 3.0L engine levels, for such a large man as the new Alexand, such an abundant powertrain is obviously indispensable, more importantly, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 6.17L (WLTC test standard); the cruising range is up to 900km. Mr. Ye said that this car will be the main car of the family in the future, the frequency of use will not be low, and it is very important to save fuel, so the ultra-low fuel consumption can also save a lot of money for a long time.
Mr. Ye is very confident in his driving skills, but after all, it is a family car, and his wife picks up and drops off children every day, only if it is safe enough, it is enough to rest assured. Equipped with Honda SENSING's "Safety Super Sense" system, the new Alexand integrates a number of driver assistance systems such as ACC active cruise control (with LSF low-speed following function), relying on radar and cameras at the front of the vehicle to detect road conditions in real time to escort each trip. And the active cruise system that can follow the car in front of it at high and low speeds will also make long-distance self-driving travel easier.
Finally, I talked to him about the current wave of intelligence in the automotive industry, whether it is an electric vehicle or a fuel vehicle, intelligence is a must-answer question to be faced immediately. Mr. Ye is still very satisfied with the intelligence of the new Alexand, the new Alexand adopts a 7-inch combination LCD instrument + 10.1-inch central control screen, equipped with a very rich Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, supporting AI intelligent assistant, car home interconnection, convenient electronic payment, OTA and other functions. For example, when you are almost home, you can use your voice to give instructions to the car machine, remotely turn on the air conditioner in your home, and conversely, you can also remotely start the vehicle through your mobile phone, such an experience is not lost to the current hot electric vehicles.
It is worth mentioning that after the new Alexand upgrade, the available charging ports in the car reached 10, the front row added a wireless charging board, the second row added Type-C interface, the whole staff in the car can easily charge the electronic equipment, this small detail is also enough to show Honda engineers' understanding of the intelligent era, must be praised!
The new Ai Lishen is evolving, trying to catch up with the tide of rapid change in the car, and the tens of millions of strivers represented by Mr. Ye are also "evolving", from the green onion teenager to the success of the career, as if the two evolutionary curves suddenly intersect in this era, feel sorry for each other, and from then on hand to meet the new changes in the future, which is also a wonderful and warm scene staged in thousands of worlds.
