But there are always people who can live in the spotlight for a long time.
Honda Civic in the automobile circle is one of them.
This car has been placed a lot of high hopes from the beginning.
In the tide of the times, standing on the waves again and again for people to worship. Today I want to talk about those years of Civic.
Ten generations of development will last forever.
1972, the first generation Civic appeared.
The positioning of the first generation Civic is family car, which is what we now call scooter and shopping cart.
The appearance now looks very retro. The round headlights and the square air intake grille represented the aesthetics of the car at that time. It is equipped with a CVCC engine. Although the horsepower is only 60 horsepower, this does not prevent it from becoming famous in the world.
At that time, it was the first city car in the world that met the emission requirements of the muskie Act of the United States, and the muskie Act was the most stringent environmental protection law in the world. After this incident, Civic became famous in World War I.
1976, the production of Civic reached 1 10,000 vehicles.
1979, the second generation Civic appeared.
The second generation Civic has changed a lot in appearance. The double-hole air intake grille has been changed into a horizontal air intake grille, and the headlights have also changed from round to square. Comparing the two models, there are not many similar traces. In terms of interior, Honda has also upgraded the Civic, adopting many advanced materials to create a luxurious interior atmosphere.
In addition to manufacturing in Japan, the second generation Civic also set up factories in Africa, Europe and other places, which means that the road to global market began to walk very early.
In addition, Honda also began to inject sports genes into Civic. The chassis of Civic has been re-adjusted, and the combination of front and rear independent suspensions is adopted. The addition of rear anti-roll bar improves the handling of Civic.
1980, the sedan version of the second generation Civic came out, which is the first sedan model of Civic.
1September, 1983, the third generation Civic was listed. Japan in the 1980s was the golden age of vigorous development of the automobile market, and Civic was still located at home. However, Honda pioneered the MM concept, that is, "maximizing the occupant space and minimizing the mechanical space", which enabled Civic to achieve a super-large space that other cars of the same class could not achieve, and even influenced the later automobile space design trend, which was of great significance to the entire automobile space.
With the advantages of strong power, low fuel consumption and large space, the third generation Civic won the first place in the consumer satisfaction survey of American automobile market from 65438 to 0986.
At the same time, the third generation Civic also launched the Si model, which means the birth of the sports Civic. Compared with ordinary Civic, the main difference lies in power and suspension. Is the Si model equipped with 1.6L? ZC series engine, the maximum horsepower can reach 135 horsepower, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers only takes 8. 1 second. Under the constraints of many conditions at that time, this achievement also represented the strength of Honda.
It is understood that this engine has also been installed in Honda F 1 racing car and used in Civic Si model, which also reflects Honda's emphasis on Civic.
In 1980s, Civic developed to the fourth generation, and the overall image and interior revealed the embryonic form of modern cars. The structure and proportion of the whole vehicle are properly handled by the designer, and the body lines are smooth.
At the same time, the fourth generation Civic launched a high-performance SiR model and began to carry the famous high-performance engine B 16A. Since the fourth generation, Civic has gained a firm foothold in the global market with the name of "the pioneer king".
In terms of power, in order to meet the needs of different consumers, Honda has launched four versions: 1.3L, 1.4L, 1.5L and1.6l. ..
As for the suspension, the front and rear double wishbone independent suspension is adopted, which has greater lateral stiffness, better tire adhesion and better handling performance. This kind of suspension is also used for performance sports cars.
199 1 year, the fifth generation Civic was born. Aerodynamics are considered in the shape, and the design tends to be sporty, which also makes the car run more agile. In terms of interiors, Honda has also begun to use airbags and environmentally friendly materials.
The body was equipped with Honda's most advanced VTEC engine at that time. Thanks to it, the fifth-generation Civic set a Guinness record for a week around Britain, but the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was only 3.28 liters.
1995, the sixth generation Civic appeared. In appearance, the change of the sixth generation model will be more significant and the design will be more mainstream. The two "big eyes" on the front face are still very recognizable today, and the air intake grille has the smallest area, which shows that it is light and smart.
At the same time, in order to emphasize its sports attributes, Honda introduced TYPE-R as its branch.
This model is equipped with Honda B 16B? High-performance naturally aspirated engine with 1.6L displacement DOHC and VTEC technology, with maximum power 185 HP and maximum torque 160 Nm.
Since then, the performance image of Civic has been established, and Civic has also begun to change from a model to a belief.
The sixth generation Civic has also become a classic model, playing an important role in the field of family cars and racing cars. In the family car market, it has always maintained a good sales volume and is world-renowned. The performance version of the TYPE-R model frequently appeared in major competitions.
In addition, the sixth generation Civic is the first batch of Civic imported into China.
2 1 at the beginning of the century, Honda took it? "? Build a small car benchmark? "In order to develop ideas and build the seventh generation Civic. Huge space, excellent economy, smooth driving sense and all-round safety protection highlight the most remarkable advantages of the seventh-generation Civic.
In terms of appearance, the seven-generation models still have a lot of shadows of the six generations, but there are some changes in subtleties. The headlights on both sides are composed of two lamps, one large and one small, and the air intake grille is added with a mesh design, which will make the whole feel more layered.
In addition, in terms of safety and environmental protection, the seventh-generation Civic has also made great breakthroughs. On the seventh generation Civic, Honda applied G-CON collision safety technology. Thanks to the application of this technology, the seventh generation Civic reached the highest safety standard in the world at that time.
200 1 The seventh generation Civic launched the IMA hybrid system, becoming the first production car equipped with this hybrid system in the world.
Honda's hybrid technology has been known to the world since then.
After five years, the eighth generation Civic was born and began to enter China. So far, the legendary Civic in the world has also been owned by China people. After that, the eighth generation Civic became a classic in the hearts of Chinese people with its streamlined appearance, super power output and economical fuel economy.
