▲ From the appearance, as a special vehicle from China, the design language of Ailishen is very close to the Odyssey on the same platform, but the designer deliberately enlarged all the details, such as the area of the air intake grille, the area of headlights and the area of taillights. At the same time, the designer added more chrome elements to Alex, making him look more serious than Odyssey. Odyssey's light interior is my favorite. Unfortunately, Alekson doesn't have a light interior to choose from.
▲ Ailijun added more chrome trim strips to the side of the car body, and the lines on the side should be tougher and more three-dimensional. The chrome-plated door handle connected to the front and rear doors inherits the design of the previous generation. Except for the classic version, all other models are equipped with keyless entry system. In addition, the Elysee also comes standard with an electric sliding door, which is very kind.
▲ The wiper strip of Alice Fashion Edition is a boneless wiper, but it does not support the automatic wiper function. The original car rain scraping strip has a good mute effect. I haven't changed it for two years. It's more durable.
▲ Headlights are the most obvious difference between low beam and high beam. The low beam is LED light source, and the high beam is halogen light source. The high beam is an LED light regardless of its distance, and the lighting effect is better. Another difference is that the low beam does not have daytime running lights, while the deluxe version has LED daytime running lights. Fortunately, the low beam lamp supports large automatic lighting.
▲ Alice's front fog lights are all standard in the whole system, and they are all LED light sources. I like this design better, because the front of Alice is thicker, so I always turn on the front fog light. First, it can illuminate the blind spots on the left and right sides in front. Second, it is easier for the opposite car to identify us, which is also for safety reasons.
▲ The exterior rearview mirror supports electric folding, but it does not support automatic folding when locking the car. The owner needs to press the fold button himself. This function is good, but it is cumbersome and used at the wrong time. On the forum, many riders installed a module themselves, which can be upgraded to automatic folding when locking the car and lifting the window glass with the remote control button. At first, I struggled, but then I gave up. Why? Because of the fear of standby power consumption, if you don't drive for ten and a half months, you will find that the car is dead at the moment you plan to drive. Is it a headache?
▲ Yes, just like the picture, the 20 16 Alice God high-end and low-end models use the same wheels, and the shape of the wheels is in harmony with the MPV body. Tire size is 225/50/R 18. Many riders complain that the original tires are noisy, and I have no right to speak, because I have been using the original tires and there is no comparison. If this set of tires needs to be replaced,
▲ The fashion version comes standard with electric side sliding doors on both sides. This configuration is the most "basic" requirement for purchasing MPV, and the lower boarding steps of Elysee will be very smooth for both adults and children.
▲ The chrome-plated door handles connected in front and back inherited the design of the previous generation. Except for the classic version with the lowest configuration, all other models are equipped with keyless entry system.
▲ This is not to show the chrome-plated strip of Alice's car door, because since Alice is chosen instead of Odyssey, the owner of Alice will definitely accept the shiny chrome-plated strip, and other car owners may not be able to accept this design. Here I want to talk about the color difference of the plastic parts at the lower edge of the car door, without looking closely at the color difference between the car body and the plastic parts. Obviously, the white of plastic parts is obviously yellow.
▲ A U-shaped chrome trim runs through the left and right taillights at the rear, echoing the design of the front middle net. The design of the rear bumper is relatively sporty, and the exhaust pipe adopts hidden design.
▲ The taillight has a large area, and the interior is designed by LED strip. After lighting, the visual effect is great and the recognition is high.
▲ The fashion version comes standard with a reversing radar, which can't be seen when reversing. The car body is relatively large, so parking in place should be slow and steady.
▲ Here is a close-up. The sensors on both sides of the radar behind Alice are hidden. These details reflect the design.
▲ This is also the place where many Alice owners complain. Many people think that the fuel tank is too small and often need to go to the gas station. It costs almost 300 yuan to refuel each time, which is really economical. I go to the gas station basically every ten days. The volume of the fuel tank is 55 liters. In fact, the volume is still relatively conventional. Recently, the oil price is relatively low, and more than 200 yuan a box of oil is enough. Speaking of which, I must envy the later hybrid version of Alice. A box of oil can drive hundreds of kilometers, one.
▲ Drivers who open Alice's trunk for the first time will basically buckle in the wrong place, because the switch is really too low under the chrome strip. The general habit is to touch the license plate light, which is a good habit. Here is a button to lock the car with one button. This design is particularly good. It is the same principle as the keyless entry of the main driver. After taking things out of the trunk, cover the trunk lid and lock the car with one button.
▲ The design of the third row of seats is exactly the same as that of the Odyssey, which can be folded and turned over to completely stow the third row of seats.
▲ After the third row of seats is put away, it is a flat trunk and a four-seat model that many car owners like. This is indeed a commendable design. For example, when I go skiing, I bring ski equipment and throw the trunk casually. For example, when I go out to ride a bike, I can put it in the car with the front wheel inserted in the aisle between the two seats in the second row.
▲ The hook design here is very intimate. First of all, red is very conspicuous. Secondly, the metal hook can fix the third row of seats.
▲ Two trunk lights are designed, one on the side of the trunk and the other on the inside of the trunk lid, both of which are equipped with independent switches, which can be turned off or on according to their own needs.
▲ In terms of interior, Alice and Odyssey are highly consistent in design, and only some details have been changed. The penetrating center console is layered, and the square air conditioning outlet and bright wood grain decorative board also add business atmosphere to the whole interior.
▲ The design of the dashboard is simple and generous, and the design of white characters on a black background is clear and easy to read. The monochrome LCD screen in the middle can display driving information, vehicle status and other contents. The two white straight lines on the dashboard can turn green, blue and red, and the color change is based on the engine speed. Green is understood as an energy-saving state, and red is understood as a high-energy-consuming state. The left side of the multi-function steering wheel is used to control multimedia, and the right button is used to control the cruise control system.
▲ Alice's glasses case can be opened in two sections. Similar designs have also appeared on other brands of cars. The driver can easily observe the situation of the people in the car through this convex mirror and paint a picture for everyone. MPV is emerging in North America, where there is no family planning. Every family has many children. Parents drive a car full of children, and the children will definitely make noise in the car. So how do parents observe these children? It is through this convex mirror that you can imagine this picture. Although we don't have many children, all the people sitting in the car are family members. It is also a very good experience to communicate through a convex mirror when chatting.
▲ Multimedia is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that it supports Carplay, which is very convenient. The disadvantage is that you can't see it when reversing. You can add a decoder and a reversing camera to the store decoration department. I gave up.
▲ Is Honda like this? It is difficult to get into the habit of not locking the car automatically, and it is necessary to lock the car manually. When the car starts, you manually press the central lock, but you haven't used this function much. The main driver's window can be lifted with one button, which is not supported by the co-pilot. I didn't feel inconvenient before. During the epidemic this year, it is not too complicated to get the temperature of the whole vehicle. Another advantage needs to be mentioned, that is, the fashion version of the co-pilot seat supports electric heating and lives in the north. It is necessary to electrically heat the seat. Unfortunately, the fashion version of the second row of seats does not support the electric heating function, but the luxury version does. But the deluxe version of the small table board is not my favorite design. At first, I was puzzled whether to put up with the small platen by heating or give up the heating function. Finally, I chose to give up the heating and the small table board. The heating function of the rear seat must be considered when changing cars next time.
▲ Sliding doors on both sides support electric switches and manual switches. An independent switch is set in the driver's left control area. You can see that little red dot indicates that the side sliding door is in electric mode, and you can't see little red dot indicates that it is in manual mode. The driver can also control the opening and closing of the sliding door through the key switch. This function is an eye-catching design. After Erffa and Senna drove, I couldn't find the switch button of the sliding door for the first time, but actually read the position of the roof light. Conscience, not very eye-catching.
▲ The pedal has two points. First, the fashion version of the handbrake steps on the soles of the feet. This is a very Japanese design. I saw it on many Japanese cars in my early years. In fact, the handbrake is rarely used in automatic transmission cars. Second, I changed the aluminum alloy pedal myself. More than 100 yuan, the texture and foot feel have improved. I bought this car, and little has changed. All I can remember is an aluminum pedal and a front windshield window film.
▲ For an MPV, space must be the focus. 20 16 Ailishen adopts 2+2+3 seat layout, and the adjustable items of two seats in the second row are very rich. The adjustment of fashion version is fully manual, and the backrest angle and leg rest of luxury version are upgraded to electric adjustment. Although the third row of seats is relatively thin, the angle of the seat cushion is designed reasonably, and it will not be too tired even if you ride for a long time. Let's talk about the annual inspection of seven-seat models. Actually, it is too complicated to go online once every two years. I'd rather have the manufacturer mark it as six seats. Why do you have this idea? I have to make an appointment for the annual inspection during the epidemic this year. I set the alarm clock for five o'clock and line up at the gate of the inspection field at six o'clock. At seven o'clock, the inspection yard opened and cars were inspected one by one. Everyone takes a lunch break at noon and goes to work in the afternoon. After two o'clock, if there are six seats, apply for the electronic annual inspection label on the mobile phone 12 123APP. A world of difference!
▲ I installed two ipad brackets in the second row. Going to road trip can kill time by watching video programs and focusing on the ashtray under the car door, which is totally useless to me. I especially envy Odyssey's cup holder design.
▲ The second row of Alice Fashion Edition also adopts a glass canopy design, and the internal sunshade supports electric contraction, which improves the permeability of the car.
▲ Passengers in the second row can control the switches of air conditioners, ambient lights and shutters by themselves. The control panel adopts touch control design, and the fingerprint is OK, but it does not achieve the effect of fingerprint collector. Sensitivity and sense of advance are not bad.
▲ What is the third row of space? I really think I can sit in. No problem. It's just right to sit for two. The angle of the third row backrest can be adjusted. It is more comfortable to lean back. The height of the headrest can be adjusted. The headrest filler is very soft. There are three independent headrests. I suggest two people sit in the third row, and the backrest in the middle can be put down as an armrest, so that the passengers in the third row can still find a more comfortable sitting position.
▲ From another angle, let's try again. The second row of seats is particularly backward, and the legroom in the third row can be put down 180 legs. If the second row agrees to move forward, then the third row will be better.
▲ There are water cup holders on both sides of the third row, and there is a car power interface on the left. Sitting in the third row, charging the mobile phone is not a problem.
▲ Since MPV is a family car, installing a child seat is also a requirement that must be solved. The seats on both sides of the second row support the installation of children's seats, so the younger brothers and sisters at home sit in the second row, and the older brothers and sisters are suitable for sitting in the third row.
▲ In the back row of the third row of seats, there is a schematic diagram of the operation of seat folding. How many steps do I have to take to hide the third row seats? As shown in the figure: five steps.
▲ Huge and flat trunk, everyone can play a lot of space, hide the third row of seats, four-seat mode, invincible, especially suitable for home use. Whether it's an outing or a family vacation to the seaside, all kinds of supplies are casually stuffed into the car, and space is no longer a problem. Pick up the plane at the airport and leave the suitcase at will. Here, I want to envy the American version of Odyssey. A car vacuum cleaner was actually designed on the side of the third row, which was invincible.
▲20 16 Ailishen is equipped with Honda housekeeping 2.4L Earth Dream engine, which is matched with CVT continuously variable gearbox. This power system is also used in Odyssey and CR-V, with the maximum power of137 kW (186 PS)/6400 rpm and the maximum torque of 243Nm/3900rpm. At the same time, it has an amazing performance in fuel efficiency. It is recommended to maintain every 5,000 kilometers, and the cost of each maintenance is around 700 yuan. If you drive an Odyssey, the sensitive throttle adjustment can easily lead to "jumping" after stepping on the throttle. However, this problem has been improved in Alice, and the throttle response has become calm. The driver no longer has to worry that an careless start will make the passengers in the car bow their heads.
▲20 16 Alice's CVT gearbox is famous, smooth and energy-saving. Carefree ... many advantages, no slots. It is a commendable gearbox in the history of automobile industry. Honda's earth dream is great, and I am very satisfied with the performance of this power combination. Although there is no sense of pushing back when speeding up, the smooth and linear output characteristics of naturally aspirated engine combined with CVT gearbox are more in line with the positioning of MPV models. CVT gearbox will be very intelligent in daily driving, which can not only ensure a high degree of ride comfort, but also keenly understand the driver's intentions. After stepping on the accelerator deeply, the gearbox will immediately increase the engine speed to 4000 rpm or even 5000 rpm, but due to the characteristics of naturally aspirated engine and CVT gearbox, the actual speed increase is not obvious.
Finally, write a little insufficient. Both Alice and Odyssey have the same problem, that is, after the engine speed increases, the noise introduced into the car will be annoying, and the control of tire noise by the vehicle itself is not ideal. For a comfortable MPV, you should still work hard on sound insulation and noise reduction; In the chassis part, because Alice is built on the platform of Odyssey, the rear suspension naturally adopts torsion beam dependent suspension. The advantage of torsion beam rear suspension is its simple structure, which can create more space for the car, but its comfort will be slightly worse than that of multi-link rear suspension. From the actual experience, Alice's handling of bumpy roads is indeed better than Odyssey, and the suspension is no longer so stiff. However, due to the short stroke of the shock absorber, it is still not calm enough when passing through the ditch, and the chassis will appear a little thin and lack a sense of advanced. Fortunately, the new hybrid Alice has taken many measures to reduce noise. The monthly sales of Alice and Odyssey add up to seven or eight thousand, which shows that Honda is still very popular in family MPV models. Recently, Volkswagen went public, and Roewe's MPV will also be released in the second half of the year. It is hoped that there will be more and more products and consumers will have more choices. For example, the MPV models expected by Nissan and Honda in the Japanese domestic market will also come to consumers in China as soon as possible, so that we can choose cars that are more suitable for us. This mystery car mission is over. Thanks for your support. # # # Super Test Driver # #
