Let's take a look at the difference between COVID-19 Road and Old Crown Road.
Has the body color been adjusted? Add Venice blue car paint
The body color of COVID-19 Road has been adjusted. 1.5T models are available in five body colors: Venice Blue, Xingyue White, ooft Black, Desert Gold and Ruby Red. Compared with the old model, the color of space silver disappeared and was replaced by Venice blue.
The 2.0T model offers six body colors, namely Venice Blue, Starry Blue, Xingyue White, Desert Gold, ooft Black and Ruby Red. The 2.0T Extreme Edition also enjoys two two-color bodies, namely Cool Black/Venice Blue and Cool Black/Xingyue White. However, the two-color model is only sold through Guangqi Honda Mall and Guangqi Honda Tmall official flagship store. Compared with the old model, the pearl white color is cancelled, and Venice blue and two kinds of two-color bodies are added.
In terms of design, on the whole, the front face and tail of COVID-19 Road have changed obviously, while the side face is basically the same as the current model, but the wheel hub style has changed.
Has the dynamic taste of the front face decreased? A little more mature and steady.
The biggest change in the front face of COVID-19 Road is reflected in two aspects.
First of all, the honeycomb grille of the old model was abandoned and the horizontal grille was adopted. How can I put it? Honeycomb grille is very popular in recent years and is recognized as a symbol of movement, while horizontal grille looks more mature and stable although it is older in design.
Secondly, the lower part of COVID-19 Road has been adjusted, and the whole crown road has adopted a conjoined design. In addition, chrome-plated decorative strips connecting the left and right sides are added, which not only enhances the visual width of the front face, but also adds a lot of color to the exquisiteness. To sum up, the front face of COVID-19 Road has lost a trace of the dynamic flavor of the old style, and has become more exquisite and calm.
Changed the rim with higher face value and strength.
In fact, there is little difference between COVID-19 Road and Laoguan Road. The biggest difference is the new style of wheels. The rim styles of 1.5T and 2.0T models are also different. 1.5T adopts 10 radial cut two-color design, and 2.0T adopts 15 radial cut two-color rim. After all, the money is there, and it is higher. Personally, I think the rims of COVID-19 Road are excellent in both aesthetics and exquisiteness.
The body is longer and more atmospheric? There is no substantial change in the internal space.
Body size, the length, width and height of the new crown are 4858/ 1942/ 1670mm, and the wheelbase is 2820 mm, which is 42 mm longer than the old model. This change can make the new crown road look more slender. According to the official luggage compartment space, COVID-19 Road has not changed, and it is still 5 10L. In other words, COVID-19 Road only creates a more atmospheric visual appearance by lengthening the car body, but the actual internal space has not changed.
Is the taillight group more scientific and technological? Bilateral exhaust is the bright spot.
On the tail side, COVID-19 Road has also changed obviously. First of all, the internal structure of the taillight has been adjusted, and the new shape is more scientific and technological. In addition, we found that the intersection area between taillights and chrome trim strips is much longer. The old model feels like a side, forced penetration effect. The tail of COVID-19 Road has also changed obviously. The whole system is replaced by bilateral * * * four outlets, which is obviously more dynamic and domineering than the old bilateral * * * two outlets.
The interior design remains unchanged? The focus is on configuration upgrade.
As for the interior, there is no innovation in the overall design of COVID-19 Road, so don't expect anything. However, the configuration of COVID-19 Road has been obviously upgraded.
First, let's look at the standard configuration. The new Crown Road comes standard with electric folding exterior rearview mirror (with LED turn signal), double-layer sound insulation glass, hood, leather four-way adjustable multifunctional steering wheel, shift paddles, cruise control system, advanced leather perforated seat, 90-degree open rear door, 3-temperature zone driver/co-pilot/rear independent automatic air conditioning system and B-pillar air conditioning outlet.
In terms of safety configuration, COVID-19 Road comes standard with main/co-pilot seat airbags, main/co-pilot seat side airbags, pre-tensioned front seat three-point seat belts, rear seat three-point seat belts, ISO-FIX child safety seat fixtures, child safety door locks and intelligent anti-theft start locking system, huh? Agile control assist system, TPMS tire pressure monitoring system, ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD electronic braking force distribution system, VSA vehicle stability control system (including TCS/BA/BOS function), HSA ramp start assist system, SDA straight-ahead driving assist system, EPB electronic parking brake system +ABH automatic parking system, ESS emergency braking early warning system, chassis spoiler and anti-glare interior rearview mirror.
In addition to the standard configuration, COVID-19 Road upgrade and new configuration are the key points. For example, 2.0T sub-top and top models are equipped with upgraded Honda? Connect? 2.0 car multimedia system, and optimized the UI interface and functions. At the same time, the 8-inch central control panel of all models supports angle adjustment. In addition, the middle and high models are also equipped with eye-catching configurations such as mobile phone wireless charging function, 12 speaker sound system and ANC active noise reduction function.
Power and parameters remain unchanged.
In terms of power, COVID-19 Road is still equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, and the parameters have not changed. 1.5T maximum power 142kW( 193Ps), peak torque of 243Nm, transmission matching CVT continuously variable gearbox, and comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.3L； per 100 kilometers; The maximum power of 2.0T is 200kW(272Ps), the peak torque is 370Nm, the transmission is matched with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and the lowest comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 8.3L.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have got a detailed understanding of the changes in COVID-19 Road. If you just want to buy this car, but some designs or configurations of the old one can't meet your requirements, then I believe you have already made a decision when you see the change of COVID-19 Road.
However, I believe that most people are very cautious about buying a car, and will definitely "shop around" and finally choose a satisfactory model that meets their own requirements. If you are a member of this group, then the following contents may be useful to you.
At present, there are many medium-sized SUVs in the market, but I think COVID-19 Road and Highlander are enough. Why do you say that? First of all, both of them belong to medium-sized SUVs and are in a market segment. It's hard to look down at them. Secondly, Highlander is on fire! But the main reason is that after big data survey, most consumers will compare with Highlander when considering buying Crown Road.
Let's take a look at the historical sales of Crown Road and Highlander. As can be seen from the above table, the gap between Guandao and Highlander was still very large last year. Judging from the sales volume in1-February this year, this situation continues. Therefore, after the listing of COVID-19 Road, the sales volume is not as good as that of Highlander's "birthmark". I believe this will help some people choose between COVID-19 Road and Highlander, won't it?
But then again, COVID-19 Road is not old. After the new upgrade, whether we can win the competition with Highlander with real strength, we will continue to look down.
In terms of vehicle type distribution, COVID-19 Road offers 8 cars and Highlander offers 9 cars, both of which have rich car selection space.
From the price point of view, the entry-level model of COVID-19 Road is nearly 20,000 yuan cheaper than Highlander, and the top model is 7,000 yuan more expensive than Highlander, but the gap is not big. However, I won't draw a specific conclusion by referring to the price, because the entry-level model of COVID-19 Road is cheap, but it is equipped with a 1.5T engine, while the entry-level model of Highlander is already equipped with a 2.0T engine.
If you are really short of money and can only get entry-level models of two cars, then you must think about this problem carefully before making a decision. Personally, I prefer to buy a car as big as 2.0T Highlander.
If you ask for seven seats? Then you can only choose Highlander.
Since the launch of 20 16, Guandao has been labeled as one of the "Top Five" medium-sized SUVs. All eight models of COVID-19 Road adopt a five-seat layout, but this is just the shortcoming of its competition with Highlander. Because Highlander not only has five seats, but also provides a seven-seat layout from the second lowest (248,800 yuan) model. Therefore, if seven seats is the decisive requirement for you to choose between two cars, then Highlander wins easily.
Of course. Although 7 seats are a big demand for consumers to buy cars at present, it is not a decisive factor for some people. Moreover, the overall price layout of COVID-19 Road and Highlander is relatively close, so there must be many people who still can't choose between COVID-19 Road and Highlander after seeing the above introduction. Don't worry, please continue to skate with me.
Regarding the body size and power, although the length of COVID-19 Road has increased by 42mm compared with the old model, I think the overall competition level with Highlander has not changed much. There is no doubt that COVID-19 Road has one of the best rear seats in its class.
From the power point of view, COVID-19 Road offers two options: 1.5T and 2.0T, with wider coverage, while Highlander is a 2.0T engine, with narrower choice space. In addition, in terms of parameters, COVID-19 Road's 2.0T engine can be said to have a crushing advantage over Highlander, but the corresponding price has also gone up. COVID-19 Road's 2.0T entry model is close to 280,000, which is 40,000 more expensive than Highlander's 2.0T entry model.
In terms of configuration, I won't make a specific comparison for each model, because compared with the old models, COVID-19 Road doesn't have many upgrades or new configurations. It has been introduced before, but the upgraded Honda has been added to the middle, high and top models. Connect? 2.0 car multimedia system (UI interface and function optimization), mobile phone wireless charging, induction electric tailgate, 12 speaker sound system, ANC active noise reduction, etc. Personally, I think these configurations are not the key to whether consumers can pay the bill, but some questions I want to talk about below.
Judging from the relevant user comments and data feedback I found, although COVID-19 Daojing has been upgraded and redesigned many times, the real reason why Highlander can't be sold has not been found.
For example, COVID-19 Road still does not provide the function of rear seat adjustment, which is a problem that old models often complain about. All Highlander models have this function. How important is the flexibility of the rear row for a medium-sized SUV with large space? COVID-19 Road is still not realized.
In addition, although the fuel tank size data of COVID-19 Road has not been found at present, it is speculated that it should be 57L like the old model, much smaller than Highlander's 72.5L, which is also the place where the old Crown Road was spit out. Because even if the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is calculated as 10L, it is less than that of Highlander 150km, so it is inconvenient to take my family to road trip for a long distance, and I have to worry about refueling.
Another point is the preservation rate. It can be seen from the 20 19 "Research Report on Automobile Insurance Rate in China" that Accord and Fit are the most valuable cars of Guangqi Honda, and there is no crown. Among the most valuable models of GAC Toyota, Highlander and Camry stand out.
In addition, I believe many people are familiar with the issue of Highlander's fare increase. Although the price of Guandao also increased at first, it was later cancelled, mainly because the customer lost patience due to insufficient output, which was directly related to the oil valve incident. In contrast, Highlander's reputation has always been very good, and the rate of preservation naturally exceeds that of Guandao.
To sum up, I still affirm the change of COVID-19 Road. A mature and steady appearance with a little movement may be easier to compete with popular faces like Highlander. In terms of configuration, COVID-19 Road continues the "richness" characteristics that Highlander has never been able to reach. Moreover, in terms of power, the 2.0T of COVID-19 Road has crushed the 2.0T of Highlander. However, COVID-19 Road has been working hard on the road of "flashy", and the clever Highlander clearly understands the demand of China consumers for a medium-sized SUV.
