"Safari car" is the European term for a three-door station wagon or extended hatchback. The term was first used to describe horse-drawn carriages used for hunting, and it has been used to this day.
In the past, hunting models did not receive much attention in the Chinese market, but as the consumer base is getting younger and younger, this type of model is starting to gain popularity. In recent years, many brands have launched their own hunting models, and these models have even become traffic passwords to attract young consumers.
Dongfeng Honda, as a representative of traditional car companies, has also handed over its own answer sheet in the field of pure electric hunting vehicles. On June 25, Dongfeng Honda Lieguang e:NS2 was officially launched, with a total of 4 models and a price of 189,800-209,800 yuan, and a limited-time shocking price of 159,800-179,800 yuan. The new car adopts the shape of a hunting coupe and has an all-electric range of 545 km in the CLTC mode.
