In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Binzhi are 4380*1790*1590mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm.
In addition, the hidden door handle design of the rear door of the original model is retained on the new generation model. The front lines and roof are relatively straight, and there is an obvious fastback design behind the heads of the rear passengers, providing ample headroom for the rear passengers. The rear of the car adopts a through-type style, and the shape is very similar to the UR-V.
The interior design is simpler and the interior space is more flexible

In terms of intelligent connected cars, the new car will be equipped with an upgraded versionHonda CONNECT 3.0intelligent guidance interconnection system, supportingAPP< /span>Remote control, intelligent voice control, digital key and OTA remote upgrade and other functions have greatly improved the level of intelligence compared to current models.
In addition, the Honda SENSING intelligent driving assistance system that comes standard with the new Binzhi has also been upgraded. The field of view of the front wide-angle camera has been increased to 100°, and the collision recognition sensitivity is also higher. , to ensure travel safety.
In terms of seat layout, the front seats of the vehicle use relatively wide and thick leather seats, which are well wrapped and supportive, and provide excellent riding comfort.
The rear row is equipped with magic seats. In addition to excellent comfort, the seats also support upward folding operations and can easily load some large items.
In terms of seating space, experiencers with a height of 180cm sit in the front row of the new Binzhi. After adjusting the front seats to the lowest and suitable driving posture, there is still a lot of headroom.
Keeping the front seats unchanged, the same experiencer sat in the back row of the new Binzhi and found that there was three fingers of headroom and more than two fists of legroom. Compared with the old model, the head and leg room in the rear of the new Binzhi have been improved to a certain extent.
Equipped with 1.5L engine, power parameters have been adjusted
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5L engine, but the official has also re-tuned this 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine. Its maximum power is 91kW and the maximum torque is 145N·m. The power parameters are compared with the current model. The 1.5L engine has been reduced. In terms of transmission system, the engine is also matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
Test drive review
The new Binzhi feels very similar to the current 1.5L version when driving. It is flexible and easy to drive, the accelerator is sufficient to follow the foot, and the power output is also quite linear and smooth.
In this test drive, we mainly drove on urban roads in Zhuhai. There were four adult men in the car with a small amount of luggage, and it was basically fully loaded. Even when fully loaded, the new Binzhi starts very briskly. The acceleration response in the initial stage is relatively fast and there is no obvious power delay.
It is very comfortable to drive slowly on urban roads in the new Binzhi. The power of 1.5L is enough to meet the needs of daily use, especially suitable for users who mainly use cars for urban commuting. .
However, when driving at medium to high speeds and encountering situations where rapid acceleration is required to overtake, this 1.5L engine is a little struggling and its stamina is not particularly sufficient.
When you press the accelerator deeply, you need to wait for the engine speed to rise to The maximum torque can only be exploded at around 4700rpm. The entire speed-up process is relatively slow. If you are overtaking at high speed, you have to act within your capabilities.
If the S gear is engaged, the engine will increase the speed to keep the cruising speed at around 2500rpm, thereby saving the need for the engine to increase the speed during rapid acceleration. time, the speed-up process will be relatively faster.
The new Binzhi's CVT continuously variable transmission not only performs well in terms of smoothness, but also adds an incremental gear design to optimize downshift control. When we lightly apply the brakes, we can actively downshift, which not only brings a more secure and smooth deceleration, but also provides better re-acceleration capabilities.
Competitive product analysis
Honda Binzhi has had good market performance since its launch in the domestic market. Among competing products of the same level, except for Toyota's C-HR and Yize, there are almost no joint venture brand models of the same level that can compete with it. This time Binzhi has taken the lead in launching replacement products, so compared with Toyota C-HR and other models that have not undergone replacement, the advantages are more obvious.
However, in addition to competing products from joint venture brands, new energy models and self-owned brand compact SUV products may pose a certain threat to Binzhi. For example, the price range of BYD Yuan PLUS and other models already overlaps with Binzhi. As consumers become more and more accepting of electric vehicles, they may become Binzhi’s competitors. Fortunately, Binzhi performs relatively well in all aspects, especially the excellent interior space and its strong Practicality.
