Which configuration of the new UR-V is the most suitable for a large five-seater SUV in one step?

Did you do any revenge consumption during 618 that just passed? Browser pop-ups always enthusiastically recommend price cuts to you, and there are always people in WeChat Moments who tirelessly take photos to show off. From mobile phones and computers to jewelry and cars, it seems that all the products you can think of are available. It seems that the more expensive things are, the better they sell. Sometimes we really underestimate the consumption power of Chinese people. In the past, compact cars with a price of 150,000 were overwhelming. Nowadays, large-space medium-sized SUVs are also attracting their attention when replacing.

Every time you go to the store for maintenance, you walk around the showroom leisurely, and every time you receive a new car promotion bundled with the public account coupon event, over time, you may become a diehard loyalist of this brand. Among them, Honda fans seem to have the most say. As a brand that buys engines and gets them for free, maybe you once roared your youth in a Civic equipped with a roll cage and modified intake and exhaust, and eventually you will sit in a CR-V or UR-V to recall the past and count them in detail. Growth rings.

The large five-seater UR-V has always played the role of the flagship product in the Dongfeng Honda family. Following the launch of the XR-V, Dongfeng Honda also launched the new UR-V on the market.

Compared with the old model in the picture above, the new UR-V has the most obvious appearance changes. First of all, the "big mouth" area on the front face has become smaller, and the entire air intake grille has undergone detailed changes from top to bottom.

The chrome-plated horizontal strip that runs through the upper layer of the light group in the old model has been changed to black in the new UR-V, while the chrome-plated strip that runs through the lower layer of the light group adopts an upward-folding design in the middle position. One point forms a perfect unity with the new XR-V and the new CR-V that have been unveiled in overseas versions. The grille around the radiator of the water tank has also been replaced with a black mesh structure to highlight its sporty feel.

Not only the air intake grille, but also the front bumper has been redesigned. The same chrome-plated decorative strip as the center grille increases the overall sense. The decorative frame of the full LED fog lamp set is made of the previous black plastic. It has become a piano paint style design. Because it is the top model of the 370TURBO, this version is equipped with a steering auxiliary lighting function from a structural point of view.

The structure and function of the full LED headlights have not changed. The daytime running lights are below and the turn signals have a flowing structure.

The body size of the new UR-V is 4856×1942×1675mm, and the wheelbase is 2820mm. Compared with the 2017 model, the vehicle length has increased by 31mm due to the redesign of the front bumper. The wheelbase and vehicle width remain unchanged, but the vehicle height has also increased by 5mm.

The design of the two-color multi-spoke wheels is exquisite and elegant, and the matching tire model is Michelin's Primacy SUV. This is a vehicle that focuses on road driving performance, especially wet grip and braking performance. of tires. Size is 245/55?R19.

The fastback shape is the most beautiful design of the new UR-V. At first glance, except for the taillights, the other positions seem to be the same as the old model. In fact, if you study carefully, you will find that the outline of the entire taillight has not changed, but the internal structure has changed.

First of all, the previous red through-type taillight cover has become transparent, and from top to bottom are the turn signals, width lights and brake lights. Since the Honda logo is exactly in the center, the through-type taillight is broken from here. On the old models, the turn signals were actually halogen, but on the new UR-V, they became a flowing LED light source, which perfectly echoed the front of the car.

In addition to the changes in the light set, the new UR-V also adds an induction trunk function to the mid- to high-end models. The air inversion grooves on the left and right sides of the rear windshield and tail are also a newly added small detail on the facelifted model.

As the best soundproof car in the Honda family, every detail of the new UR-V interior is filled with grandeur and elegance! The upper part is black and the lower part is beige, the instrument panel is covered with wood grain decorative panels, and the center console is made of soft slush molding + leather wrapping materials to highlight the texture. The three-dimensional and full center console is in line with the Chinese people's preference for symmetry. The 8-inch color touch screen can not only adjust the angle by 5° through the TILT button on the lower right, but can also adjust itself according to the angle of sunlight outside the car to avoid reflections.

The touch screen integrated with the Honda Connect 2.0 car system responds very quickly. The built-in car networking function can support online entertainment, navigation, wireless payment, reversing imaging and other functions, and can also be used through Carplay Screen interconnection with mobile phone.

The LWC blind spot display system can also help you display the vehicles in the blind spot on the right side of the field of view on the central control screen through the probe under the right rearview mirror. You can activate this function by turning the right steering lever or pressing the button area on the turn signal lever, which improves driving safety.

Whether it is a push-button shift or a traditional in-line shift lever is an important indicator to distinguish the 370TURBO (2.0T) and 240TURBO (1.5T) models. Through this renewal, the K20C3 (2.0T) engine finally meets the National VI B emission standards. This 370TURBO show car is a 2.0T+9AT version and uses push-button shifting. The rear electronic handbrake and automatic parking are all available. The four PRND gears have different button directions, which are very easy to use once you get used to it.

Honda's MM concept is about space, adhering to the design idea of ??maximizing the space for people to enjoy and minimizing the space occupied by machines. The new UR-V adopts a bridge-type center console design. The top model also has a new wireless charging function for mobile phones, and the accelerator and brake pedals are also replaced with metal coatings.

The rear door can be opened at a 90-degree angle, there is more than three fistfuls of knee room in the back row, and there is also silence created by double-glazed glass and multiple pieces of soundproofing materials. The new UR-V with a large 5 seats can really meet all your requirements for large space travel. The soft and spacious seats and comfortable sitting position make it seem like you can have a lazy sleep at any time.

The show cars we saw were all equipped with the highest configurations, and most of the configurations we actually bought were the most cost-effective. Next, it’s time to recommend configurations. After all, families who can consider UR-V basically have sufficient budget. The new UR-V comes in five configurations with two displacements. The 1.5T 240TURBO is both a front-wheel drive version. I personally recommend the high-end 240TURBO two-wheel drive elegant version priced at 269,800 yuan.

Recommendation 1: 240TURBO two-wheel drive elegant version

Guide price: 269,800 yuan

After all, the entry-level configuration of the Zhiyue version of 246,800 yuan is too low. There are halogen headlights and no reversing radar. The huge luggage compartment door also needs to be opened and closed manually. Moreover, it is the only one in the series that does not come with side curtain airbags. The plastic steering wheel looks too shabby.

Although the 240TURBO two-wheel drive elegant version priced at 269,800 yuan is 23,000 yuan more expensive, it has full LED headlights, rear radar + reversing image, multimedia + navigation with Internet of Vehicles, and ACC adaptive cruise. , heated front seats, electric + induction trunk door, etc. are all in place. There are also active and passive safety configurations such as collision warning/active braking, lane departure, lane keeping, traffic sign recognition, and front and rear side curtain airbags. This 23,000 yuan is not a waste at all.

Recommendation 2: 370TURBO four-wheel drive exclusive version

Guide price: 292,800 yuan

But having said that, the 1.5T engine has a curb weight of 1.77 tons The medium-sized SUV is indeed a bit tight when full of people. If you have a large budget, you might as well bite the bullet and get the 2.0T version. After all, the surging power brought by the 2.0T engine + 9AT of the K20C3 is something that the 1.5T cannot provide. The calm driving experience will make you very comfortable. 370TURBO I recommend the second-highest four-wheel drive exclusive version! It is 13,000 yuan more expensive than the same 2.0T two-wheel drive premium version, but it has an additional four-wheel drive system, rear reversing radar, and an on-board air purifier (including PM2.5 filter and negative ion generator). Although it is a timely four-wheel drive with on-road performance, it still has more advantages when facing rain, snow and light off-road conditions.

As for the higher-level 370TURBO four-wheel drive premium version (top configuration), I personally do not recommend it. The price of 329,800 yuan should not be much discounted in the short term. Most of them are active safety configurations such as active braking, lane departure, lane keeping, ACC adaptive cruise, 360° panoramic image + front radar, HUD head-up display, automatic parking, front seat ventilation, seat memory, rear seat Heated seats and a multimedia screen in the rear center armrest. However, it would cost an extra 37,000 yuan, which seems to be a bit uneconomical.

After all, this price can already buy the top models of BMW X1, Cadillac XT4, and Volvo XC40 after the discounts are over. Not only that, mid-to-low-end models such as Q5L, Discovery Sport, Evoque, and XC60 are also tempting you. No matter how high the configuration and space is, it is just a Honda, and it is difficult to satisfy the desire to be distinguished in front of others.

Normally, we will lock in a budget of 300,000 yuan on a seven-seat SUV. After all, these cars can subjectively meet the requirements of our family and children traveling together. However, the crowded third row, the luggage compartment volume that is squeezed into just over 200 liters, and the rigid requirement of annual inspections forced us to rethink our car purchase goals. As a result, this large five-seat SUV, which can bring ample seating space and large storage space, has been welcomed by more consumers.

In fact, not only Dongfeng Honda's new UR-V, but also SAIC Volkswagen's Touron X, Jeep Commander, Dongfeng Nissan's Loulan, these minorities are also direct competitors of the new UR-V. Big but not stupid, this must be the intuitive impression that all OEMs most want to convey to consumers through the driving experience when manufacturing flagship mid-size SUVs. For new cars that have just been launched, we might as well wait before buying. After all, compared to the XR-V and CR-V, the mid-sized UR-V is not Dongfeng Honda's most popular model. Maybe after half a year, the price will loosen up, and it won’t be too late to buy it then.
