On August 26, Guangqi Honda’s new generation Fit was officially launched. The new car launched 6 models this time, with a price range of 81,800-108,800 yuan. See table below for details.
As a replacement model, the new domestic Fit inherits the overseas standard version (Chaoyue Pro) and crossover version (Chaoyue Max) with two appearance kits, and the entire series is equipped with "1.5L natural suction... Gas engine CVT gearbox" power combination. It is worth mentioning that although the brand new Fit sounds more radical in terms of model naming, the model still continues its compact and family-friendly features.
Appearance | How is the word "trendy" so important?
Taking the Chaopao Pro series as an example, the design ideas of the new car are quite different from those of the old models, and the overall appearance is a "Cool and cute" attitude. Among them, the most endearing thing is undoubtedly its shining "big eyes", which look very cute.
On the side of the body, the Chaorun series models emphasize more on inter-city driving, while the Chaoyue version is derived from overseas crossover models, so it has the flavor of a crossover. Compared with Personally I prefer the latter.
In terms of size, the Chaopao Pro series is relatively slender, while the Max series is relatively stocky. In addition, the suspension height of the latter has also been increased by 30mm, which increases the driving passability.
It should be noted that the above two series of models support two-color body design, but an additional 3,000 yuan is required on top of the single-color body, while the Galaxy White body color requires an additional 2,000 yuan.
Interior | Space flexibility is still excellent
Although there are certain differences in positioning between the new Fit Chaomo Pro series and the Chaoyue Max series, the interior design styles of the two are different. Almost identical.
Among them, features such as contrasting color splicing trim panels/seats, double-spoke steering wheel, and 7-inch LCD instrument are all popular among young people. But unfortunately, the 8-inch large central control screen only appears in the Chaoyue Max series models, and all models still use traditional mechanical handbrakes, and there is no synchronized overseas version of electronic handbrakes.
What makes me gratified is that the new car is equipped with the "Magic Seat" that the Honda family is proud of. After being fully folded, it is very helpful to expand the space in the cabin. After all, "Space Magic" The title of "teacher" is not picked up.
Power | All series of 1.5L engine CVT transmissions
In terms of power, the new Fit does not leave consumers with too many choices. All models will be equipped with a set of "1.5L The power combination of four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and CVT transmission. Among them, the maximum power of the engine is 131 horsepower and the peak torque is 155 N·m.
According to official data, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s comprehensive fuel consumption of the new Fit Chaopao Pro series models is 5.2/5.3L/100km, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s comprehensive fuel consumption of the Chaoyue Max series models is 5.6L/100km. .
In addition, there have been reports that the new Fit will introduce a three-cylinder 1.0T engine model and a 1.5L hybrid version. However, judging from the current situation, these two models will not be launched in the short term. Entering the domestic market, we will continue to pay attention to the future.
Shopping guide | It is recommended to choose the Chaoyue version
After reading the introduction of the new Fit model, let’s talk about which configuration of the new car is the most cost-effective. 1.5LCVT Chaoqi Edition (recommendation index★☆)
As an entry-level model, Chaoqi Edition is equipped with a set of 15-inch wheels, front side airbags, tire pressure alarm, and driving mode switching (sports/ Economy), uphill assist, keyless start, multi-function steering wheel, 7-inch LCD instrument, rear seats reclined, one-button lifting and lowering of the driver's seat window, on-board MP2.5 air filtration and other functional configurations.
Objectively speaking, although the price of the new Fit is the same as that of the old model, and the technological configuration has been improved, some functions have been omitted accordingly. The most unacceptable thing for me is that Chaoqi They didn’t even give me a car stereo! Forget it, let’s continue reading 1.5LCVT Trendy Edition (recommendation index ★★★☆)
For an extra 5,000 yuan, we can upgrade to the Trendy Edition, and in terms of configuration, Based on the Chaoqi version, we can get front USB interface, dual-speaker audio, passenger seat vanity mirror, rear wiper and other functional configurations.
In my opinion, the Chao Xiang Edition looks a bit like an entry-level model. If nothing else, at least you can listen to music now. However, our requirements cannot be too low. It is almost 90,000 anyway, so let’s take a look at other models. 1.5LCVT trend running version (recommendation index ★★★★)
With an additional 9,000 yuan, we can upgrade to the trend running version. In terms of configuration, we can get front/rear head side airbags, electric sunroof, aluminum alloy wheels, LED front fog lights, etc.
In comparison, although the upgrade fee of the Chaozhou version is close to 10,000 yuan, these new configurations are quite important, especially the front/rear side airbags, which can further improve the safety of the occupants in the car. Safety. In addition, sunroofs are also a configuration that domestic consumers value more. Therefore, if your budget is within 100,000, you may wish to consider this model. 1.5LCVT Chaopao Pro version (recommendation index ★★★★)
As the top model of the "Chaopao Pro" series, the Chaopao Pro version costs an additional 9,000 yuan on top of the Chaopao version. . We can get 16-inch wheels, lane departure warning, lane keeping, active braking, adaptive cruise, leather steering wheel, paddle shifters, LED daytime running lights, adaptive high and low beams, etc.
With reasonable upgrade prices and rich configurations, the Chaopao Pro version is generally quite good. But there is one thing I can't accept. This is a top-of-the-line model, and there is no central control multimedia screen. Isn't it a bit...ahem, don't worry, we also have the Chaoyue Max series to choose from. 1.5LCVT Chaoyue Edition (Recommendation Index ★★★★★)
Because it is a crossover model, the starting price of the Chaoyue Edition will be slightly higher. In terms of configuration, based on the trendy version, it adds a roof rack, an 8-inch central control screen, a 4-speaker audio, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, CarLife connectivity and other configurations.
Personally, the overall cost-effectiveness of the Chaoyue version is quite high. Except for the lack of a sunroof, it basically has all the necessary configurations. Therefore, the Chaoyue version is the model I recommend to everyone this time. . 1.5LCVT Chaoyue Max version (recommendation index ★★★★)
As the top model of the entire series, the configurations of Chaoyue Max version and Chaoyue Pro version are generally similar, and based on the latter Functional configurations such as front-row keyless entry and an 8-inch central control screen have been added.
Frankly speaking, although the Chaoyue Max version has rich configurations, the price is also close to the 110,000 yuan mark, which is beyond the budget of many friends to a certain extent, so if you are not short of money, you can Take 110,000 plates of it.
Comments|
After writing this article, I sincerely lament those entry-level models under joint venture brands. In order to attract consumers, they have to adopt measures of guaranteed prices and reduced configurations. This is why all entry-level Fit models are not equipped with audio equipment. Fortunately, the space layout and power system of the new car do not compromise on cost, and this will also be the core selling point of the new Fit in the future.
In terms of vehicle selection, I personally recommend everyone to choose the 1.5LCVT Chao Yue model, which is the most cost-effective. Of course, if you are not interested in crossovers, you might as well take a look at the Chaozhou Edition and Chaozhou Pro Edition. Although they are not equipped with an 8-inch central control screen, they can basically meet daily household needs. Overall The strength is quite good.
