Generally speaking, life is similar in appearance and fit, and it is also divided into two styles: CROSS and SPORT.
It is reported that the CROSS version is slightly larger in length, width and height than the sports version. The wheelbase of the CROSS version is 253 1mm, while the wheelbase of the sports version is 2530 mm. The new car is expected to be officially launched at the end of the year.
The power part will be equipped with Honda's 1.5L naturally aspirated engine (code name L 15BU) with the same fit. Maximum power 13 1Ps, peak torque 155Nm, matching CVT gearbox, meeting the national 6 emission standard and consistent with the fit.
At this point, discerning people can see at a glance the relationship between it and Guangben Fit, but activists have repeatedly stressed not to compare it with Fit, not to mention sister cars. As for the reason, hey hey, everyone can figure it out.
So you may want to know, I already have a wide version of Fit, why should I watch Dongben Life?
Well, revealing some small surprises in life may be one of the reasons why you chose it.
Although the official configuration has not yet been announced, from the point of view of the exhibition car, LIFE has a central armrest box, and the sports version of the top model also has a central control screen. Fit does not have a central armrest box, only the Beyond and Beyond Max version is equipped with an 8-inch central control panel.
In addition, new cars entering the market are generally more kind in configuration than their predecessors, so the configuration of life should be good. For example, the entry version is equipped with a speaker, otherwise how can it be "salty and sweet"?
In addition, there are two hidden bonus items in life. One is the production line of Dongben Life. Previously, it was the production line of JAZZ (that is, the overseas version of Fit, exported to the EU) produced by Honda China. There is no need to worry about workmanship and quality control.
The second is the gene of life, a name that has always been used in Japan. It's a K-Car mini-car. But its history can be traced back to 197 1 year, earlier than Fit. At that time, Honda introduced LIFE to replace the N-series cars in the Japanese market, which was also the first four-door car in Honda's history. Equipped with a 0.36L twin-cylinder engine EA, the power is only 30hp-36hp.
A few months later, Honda launched a derivative van of LIFE, which was all the rage as a family tool car at that time. 1972, Honda launched the Life Travel Edition, with the engine power increased to 100 horsepower and equipped with a 5-speed gearbox, which is unique among its class.
Later, LIFE's micro-card derivative models appeared.
LIFE's body size design has always been about 3 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, with a wheelbase of 2080mm and a weight of 490-520 kg, which conforms to the design style of Japanese K-car, and LIFE became the shortest four-door car in the world at that time.
Unfortunately, life exists for a short time. 1974, Honda decided to concentrate its main production capacity on Civic and give up the mini-car market segment, which led to the suspension of production. 1976 resumed production.
Japan's legal policies and the use environment of k-car have also made LIFE and its derivative models enduring for decades, and they have been favored by the market, especially many young people in Japan will take it as their first choice when they first enter the society.
In short, life can be described as a meritorious car of Honda family, and it also inherits the pure lineage of Honda, so it will be higher than Fit in positioning. Just like Dongben INSPIRE, it is also the name of a local Japanese model, and its pedigree and positioning are purer than Accord and Accord.
Of course, life has its problems. What kind of car are you asked to buy?
You said "life"
"What?"
"Fit"
"oh"
This embarrassment is like motivation. No matter how good you say it, the sales volume is just not as good as the Accord. Names are a big problem, and so is LIEF.
Think again about guandao and U-RV, binzhi and X-RV. I think what Tooto should consider most at present is how to give a good name to the car. China market still needs a good Chinese name, otherwise it will not be acclimatized.
Finally, name or configuration? If it were you, what would you choose?
