Test drive Hao Yingrui hybrid: No matter whether you understand the car or not, you will give it a high score.

Test drive model:? Hao Yingrui mixed some enchanted evening version

Mileage: 300 kilometers, including 200 kilometers of expressway.

Driver index: 85%

It's been a whole year since I last drove to Hao Ying. At that time, Hao Ying was preparing to go public. Guangqi Honda has high expectations for this model from top to bottom, and dealers also hope that the arrival of this intermediate SUV will enable them to compete with the CR-V next door in sales.

One year has passed, and the cumulative sales volume in Hao Ying has exceeded 1.3 million. From June to September this year, the number of cars in Hao Ying has exceeded 108500. Among them, Hao Ying's sharp boundary and hybrid equipped with hybrid power system accounted for 65,438+07%. It is necessary to know that the transaction price of Sharp and hybrid models is almost above 200,000. It can be said that in the mid-level SUV market in blood shed, Hao Ying has achieved more success than Guangqi Honda expected.

In fact, it is no accident that Hao Ying can succeed. First, Honda has a strong product definition ability in this market segment, and second, it is a strong guarantee for Guangben dealer channels. But beyond that, what many people don't notice is that Hao Ying's success also benefits from the differentiated marketing strategy put forward by Guangben, which pays attention to the perceptual competitiveness of "beauty" instead of habitually competing with parameters.

For example, the theme of Hao Yingrui's hybrid test drive this time is "real adventure", which is more about letting drivers discover the brilliance of Hao Ying's styling design through test drive, rather than just paying attention to mechanical performance.

Actually, it's true. Many ordinary consumers, especially those who don't care so much about cars, ask him/her to choose a 200,000-class mid-level SUV, with Hao Ying at least in the top three. From the modeling point of view, Hao Ying does not have the stiff lines common in German SUVs, nor does it have the sharp modeling of Toyota, nor does it have the rough feeling of CR-V and American products. At first glance, I think this SUV has a sense of exquisiteness when walking between cities.

Yes, exquisiteness should be the most appropriate description of Hao Ying's aesthetics.

From the body shape, there may be nothing special about Hao Ying, but attention should be paid to the details. There are almost no hard gray plastic parts, whether it is the decorative strip under the net, the scratch-proof strip around the car body, the lower lip of the front insurance, the tail wing of the rear and so on. , all made of black high-gloss decorative board. Although the cost is not low, and the maintenance cost may increase after the collision, it seems that the exquisite feeling of the vehicle will be perceived.

The car I test-drive is still a little different-it's all black "black?" Version of "Fantasy Night" version. Compared with the ordinary style, almost 90% of the details of this car are painted in black, but it doesn't feel "featureless" at all, but it presents an ultimate personality.

For example, the heavy silver trim on the front face was replaced with a blackened texture, and the LED headlights were also replaced with black inner lenses. The 19-inch wheel hub of the vehicle has been replaced by a smoky high-gloss tone, and the rearview mirror is also a black high-gloss paint, which makes it easier to integrate with the body, rather than the abrupt "bilingbiling" shine. However, when the wing-shaped LED light group lights up, the LED daytime running light at the bottom will illuminate the high-gloss decorative strip at the bottom, and with the only window frame in the whole car that retains the silver chrome-plated decorative strip, the light and shadow of the whole car will be stereoscopic immediately.

Hao Ying is an easy model for photographers. The light and shadow lines of the whole vehicle have a special sense of outline, and the symmetrical proportion is not easy to deform under wide angle, which is a perfect appearance without dead ends.

Hao Ying's exquisite feeling is also reflected in the creation of indoor atmosphere. Compared with other versions, it emphasizes home and technical tonality. The magic night version uses the unique black interior of the whole car. In our imagination, a piece of black interior color will inevitably bring a strong sense of oppression, but Guangben used black materials with different brightness in the Magic Night Edition to create a layered all-black interior, just like the black night sky has different brightness.

The detail is the devil. Although the Magic Night Edition is a car with a small sales volume, Guangben has spent a lot of thought and cost to create an "all-black" interior texture: on the front IP platform, the middle is decorated with black piano paint strips, and the brushed decorative board below is also blackened and matte; Similarly, the silver decorative strips on other models are all made of black piano paint, such as a circle of black high-gloss paint in the shift button area, the edge of the multi-function steering wheel button and the edge of the door switch, and the shutter handle of the water cup holder. In addition, the black seat is made of fabric and leather, which makes the black of different materials distinct, unified but exquisite.

In fact, the exquisite feeling of Hao Ying cars is not only the modeling level, but also the experience.

The most typical is the design of storage space. Open the shutter of the cup holder at the center console, and you will find that besides the two cup holders, there are two horizontal and vertical storage slots, one of which is just suitable for putting down the large-screen mobile phone and the other is very suitable for putting down the access card and the like. Moreover, this cup also has a lifting function, which can adapt to different cup types. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the whole central armrest area is very spacious because of the key shifting and the shift area under the central control screen moving forward, and the hand pillow will not touch or block by mistake, which brings a sense of spaciousness.

In addition, the second row of seats can be flat and look inconspicuous, but considering that we are driving a hybrid car, this is very special-this shows that Honda engineers moved the position of the battery pack from the bottom of the back seat to the bottom of the trunk, thus solving the storage space problem for daily use and bringing a large space that is not lost to the traditional power version.

Of course, ergonomic design itself is the strength of Japanese brands. It may seem that the sense of science and technology is not superior to those of new forces or independent brands, but once it comes to nuanced experience, Honda is still very competitive, and everything will make users feel at home. When it comes to technology configuration, Hao Yingrui's hybrid has an interesting place, that is, although the top version of Magic Night has a car networking system, it does not have the CarPlay function that many people are used to. On the contrary, it has two lower configurations.

Speaking of driving performance, Hao Yingrui's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system can make people feel good from the first step you set foot on.

You don't need to adjust the driving mode, everything is going smoothly, but you can feel the right power output, and you won't feel that the throttle is too strong or the power is too fleshy. Normal mode is the correct output. Especially in the process of continuous high-speed driving, the smoothness and linearity of the overall power of Hao Ying hybrid are surprising, and the power output boundary of general turbocharged models will not appear obvious "too much", and there will be no "foot feeling" of some 2.0L models at any time.

This is mainly because it can provide high-power motors of 135kW and 315n m, and the power output data is equivalent to that of 1.5T engine, and it can also support motor-driven vehicles to reach the speed of 120km/h, greatly reducing the direct intervention of 2.0L engine at middle and low speeds. At high speed, the engine is directly connected to drive the vehicle, and once the speed needs to be increased, the motor can also intervene instantly. Although it is not as millisecond as pure electric vehicles, it is still very fast compared with general turbocharged models.

In fact, Hao Yingrui Hybrid itself also provides three driving modes, in addition to the routine, there are sports and energy saving. When switching to sport mode at high speed, you will obviously feel that the throttle response is more positive. In normal mode, you have to step on 20% to feel the obvious acceleration, while in sports mode, you only need to give 10% of the throttle opening, but at the same time you can't feel the initial sharp acceleration. In a word, the whole acceleration feeling is more in line with the cognition of 158kW powertrain output.

The energy-saving mode does not passivate the throttle too much, but this state weakens the response of 20%-50% throttle opening compared with the conventional mode, but it does not affect the car-following performance in the initial stage, nor does it delay the sudden need for full throttle acceleration. However, in the energy-saving mode, the speed of pure electric driving can be supported to 60-70 km/h, which will further improve fuel economy, especially on slow urban roads, and it can basically be used as a pure tram.

Thanks to the addition of the electrification assembly, Hao Yingrui's experience in the L2-level assisted driving function is more accurate. Start Honda? After induction, the vehicle can stably stay in the center of the lane, and can also accelerate and decelerate smoothly without any sense of frustration. These have a lot to do with Hao Yingrui's hybrid high-power motor and high-power battery, which can control the vehicle more stably and quickly, and is more linear than traditional fuel power.

Such a smooth power is a chassis that is very popular with young family drivers. The reason why young and home are emphasized is that Hao Yingrui's mixing first satisfies the driving of home consumers, that is, he has very comfortable chassis feedback, and the driving texture is quite advanced, which is obviously solid and heavy.

Of course, Honda's car has never been soft to the end, and the small bounce on the road is slow. As the saying goes, there is tenacity when there is tenacity, and it is obviously tough in the middle and rear of the suspension. When encountering a big bump, the support and convergence of the car body are still very fast. This may also be related to the lithium battery pack installed at the rear of the car, and the rear axle will be tougher, making the driving control of the whole car soft and soft.

People prefer Hao Ying's sharp and mixed foot feeling and steering feeling, which gives me the feeling that it is biased towards sports driving control, and the whole contact will be heavier than that of ordinary models, rather than the light foot feeling and steering feeling, which is very harmonious and unified. Relatively speaking, the steering feel is relatively calm, even at low speed, it will make girls feel a little heavy, but when turning, the steering response is first-class and the righting force is just right.

It is worth mentioning that this 2.0L hybrid system of the third generation i-MMD improves the high thermal efficiency engine and reduces the noise when the engine is running. From the actual experience, it is difficult to perceive the running sound of the engine when the power progress bar is lower than 30%, and even if the 2.0L engine runs at high load, the noise from the engine compartment is acceptable, which is better than Toyota's latest THS experience. At the same time, it may benefit from the larger displacement of 2.0L under high load operation, and Hao Ying's sharp boundary hybrid is obviously better than Honda's own 1.5L? MMD system has more advantages in NVH.

More interestingly, Honda engineers also simulated the sound of movement according to the running state of the engine. Basically, you can hear the simulated sound of "passion" when you step on the accelerator 50%. How can I put it? This kind of simulated sound will make drivers feel a sense of animation unique to the electrification era.

Because the engine noise is significantly reduced, the main noise of Hao Yingrui hybrid is road noise. In fact, this model in Hao Ying has been significantly improved. If you drive on asphalt pavement, even if the speed is 90, 100 km/h, there won't be too much disturbing road noise, and the tires are still "brushed" when driving under this road condition. The only road condition comparable to making a fool of yourself is the old cement pavement. You will hear the "crash" road noise at the speed of 60-70km/h, and your senses will be weaker.

From the personal driving experience, if you don't like pure electric vehicles, then Hao Yingrui hybrid estimation is the most perfect product with mechanical texture on traditional power vehicles. The third generation i-MMD does not have the lag of small displacement turbocharged engine at low speed, nor does it have the hoarse sound of naturally aspirated engine at high speed. More importantly, it can easily achieve the fuel consumption of 5L/ 100 km during daily driving. At the same time, the NVH of the whole vehicle can reach a higher luxury brand level, and the driving performance is also handy. It's really hard to combine these advantages. If you don't compare those V-cylinder large-displacement cars, it is really difficult to pick out the shortcomings of Hao Yingrui and Hybrid. Of course, what kind of large-displacement car should I buy at the price of 200 thousand?

At the same time, from the appearance point of view, there is nothing to be picky about, which is in line with the most mainstream aesthetics and unconventional extreme personality appearance colors, all of which are handled properly. These beauties from the inside out can easily lead to a buzz in consumers' hearts-as if they were born together.
