Recently, on the latest batch of application directories of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we found the declaration chart of Dongfeng Honda's new XR-V, and the new car has adopted a new design, and the value is quite high. In terms of body size, compared with the current model, the length and width of the vehicle have increased, the wheelbase has not changed, and it still has a good performance in terms of practicality.
As a replacement model, the appearance of the new car adopts a new design, the front face adopts a dot matrix chrome grille design, which looks very young, and the rest of the front face does not have too much design, and the overall is very simple. The blackened headlights also further add to the sportiness of the new car. The design of the tail is also different from the current model, the overall look is full, and the black taillights run through the LOGO, adding a youthful atmosphere to the new car.
Seeing the declaration chart of the new car, the editor immediately remembered two cars, one is the newly listed Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, and the other is the VEZEL sold in Japan, that is, the European version of the HR-V. In terms of appearance, these models cannot be said to be irrelevant, but can only be said to be exactly the same.
First of all, let's talk about the e:NS1 car, perhaps many people think that this car is a "oil to electricity" model. But it's already 2022, will there really be car companies doing this kind of thing? At least not Honda, this e:NS1 uses the e:N Architecture F platform, which is not the same as the platform used by the XR-V. Therefore, even if the size and shape of the e:NS1 are very similar to the new XR-V on the ministry of industry and information technology' catalog, it is by no means an oil-to-electricity model. Perhaps in order to avoid being misunderstood, Dongfeng Honda will first launch this pure electric model, and then release the new XR-V on the next day.
Another model that is very similar to the ministry of industry and information technology declaration map is this European version of the HR-V, which is the VEZEL sold by Honda in Japan. In addition to the wheel hub and the style of the middle net, there is almost no difference between the two cars. But it is worth noting that the previous generation of HR-V, in china corresponds to Guangqi Honda's Binzhi, although it is a brother model with XR-V, but the two cars still have a relatively large difference in appearance. If the new generation of Binji still maintains the same appearance as the Japanese domestic model, will there be a situation where Binji and XR-V are stupidly indistinguishable? Or maybe the two cars will make a more obvious difference, maybe when Binzhi also releases the official picture, it will be able to solve this doubt.
In terms of interior, the new XR-V is expected to adopt the same or similar design as the HR-V, which will be younger and sportier than the current model overall, and will be further improved in terms of technology and texture.
In addition to the new car shape, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's declaration directory also published some parameters of the new car. The new car has a length, width and height of 4380mm, 1790mm and 1590mm, respectively, which has increased in length and width compared with the current model, and the height of the car has been reduced, and the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2610mm. This wheelbase data is not very eye-catching in the current market, but the spatial performance of the XR-V is obvious to everyone, so everyone does not need to worry about the spatial performance of the new model!
In addition, the data also shows that the new car uses an inline four-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engine modeled L15CE, with a maximum power of 91 kilowatts, equivalent to 124 horsepower. Compared to the 131 hp of the 1.5-liter engine currently in use, the new car has declined in terms of power. The hybrid system used in the Japanese version of the model has not appeared for the time being, but the 1.5L hybrid system may be seen in the future!
Auto Network Review: Can the new Generation of Dongfeng Honda XR-V continue its brilliant achievements?
The current XR-V on sale can still stabilize at more than 10,000 units per month, and together with the brother model Binzhi, it occupies an important position in the small SUV market. As a Binzhi car owner, when he saw this set of declaration pictures, he was also deeply attracted by the appearance of the new car. I believe that Honda will bring far more than these, hybrid models will be introduced in the future, we have reason to believe that Dongfeng Honda XR-V will have stronger competitiveness, will the new models continue the brilliant results of the current models in the future? Time will tell!
