165438+1October 18, the world premiere of the long-awaited new generation Civic. Watching the Civic live online conference reminds me of the iPhone a month ago? 12 conference, although the content of the conference has long been known, I still insisted on watching it, because this is the last stubbornness of Honda powder, and I also hold a glimmer of hope that Honda will bring "One? More? Things.
Embarrassed, I missed the release time perfectly. I thought it was released in the afternoon, and the external network has been released in advance, but it doesn't matter, let's watch the car ~
The appearance is gradually "accord"
Previously, the patent drawings and preview drawings of the new generation Civic appearance have been exposed. The new Civic concept car unveiled this time is similar, but in order to appear a little ceremonial, I symbolically expressed my surprise expression on social software and forced myself to pretend that it was the first time I saw it. The new generation Civic will still offer hatchback and sedan models. The picture released this time is a brand-new Civic car concept car.
I think Civic has returned to his "true colors". It can be seen that the new generation Civic is gradually "accord-oriented", and the front grille, lamp group shape and rear design are similar to the current Accord. When this generation of Accord first came out, everyone said that Accord was like Civic. Now the brand-new Civic is like Accord, so Civic has returned to its original appearance.
Look, because: eleven civic ≈ ten accord, ten accord ≈ ten civic. Therefore, the eleventh generation Civic ≈ the tenth generation Civic.
To tell the truth, I feel a little disappointed to see the brand-new Civic. Compared with the tenth generation, the eleventh Civic has "disappeared from everyone". Why is the tenth generation Civic so popular? Because the appearance is very personal, avant-garde, sporty (chok explosion), and grass can be planted at a glance, the new Civic gives me the feeling that the appearance is good and the design is fashionable, but there is no surprise and no Civic.
To give an inappropriate example: the Civic of the Tenth Generation is a beautiful and moving goddess, which makes people fall in love at first sight and have a lingering fear when they get home; The 11th Civic is a girl dressed in fashion, which is ok as a whole, but in the vast sea of people, I may not forget what she looks like tomorrow (accidentally exposing the attributes of love rat). New Civic, you are very kind, but we are not suitable.
The new generation Civic has returned to the shape of traditional cars. Although the C-pillar still has some slip-back style, the gap with the Civic of the Tenth Generation is still obvious. At least the new Civic doesn't seem to have the feeling of "super-running". Alas, Civic finally gave in to life. He used to be an unruly teenager, and later he grew into a steady man. Ye Qingjie!
The new Civic adopts a "duckling tail" spoiler design at the rear of the trunk, which makes the Civic look more sporty, but paradoxically, it adopts a hidden exhaust (bilateral * * * two exits) design below, which makes the whole car look more harmonious. I think designers are too greedy. He wants to keep Civic in motion, and he also wants him to keep a balance and please the public. Brother, this is a kind of homesickness. If you are not handsome, how can young people pay?
The interior is also very "accord"
Although the interior of the real car has not been announced, the official map has come out. The style of the new generation and the tenth generation Civic is completely different, but when you look carefully. Huh? There is a feeling of deja vu.
Yes, is the interior of the new Civic very similar to the Accord? However, the details have been adjusted, and the air outlet of the plane air conditioner is honeycomb-shaped, extending from the center console to the co-pilot seat. The copy of this assignment is speechless. ..........................................................................................................................................................................
About configuration
At present, it is only a concept car, and there is not much information about the configuration. All I know is that the central control screen has been increased from 7 inches to 9 inches, and the instrument panel has been replaced by a full digital LCD instrument panel.
In 2020, Civic was Honda's first product to provide a full LCD dashboard, which may be awkward to say, haha.
In addition, the new Civic will be equipped with a new upgrade? Honda? The sensor system and driver assistance system have introduced richer active/passive safety configurations, making vehicles smarter and safer, and improving and perfecting Civic.
In terms of space, the new car design team adheres to Honda's "MM concept", and the people-centered vehicle design, including power, safety performance and driving pleasure, will have better performance.
Concept car, power not announced.
At present, the brand-new Civic concept car is announced, so the power has not been announced yet. Referring to the current models, the new Civic will continue to be equipped with 1.5T Earth Dream engine, and the transmission will match 6MT or CVT gearbox. Students who like hand waves can rest assured that the manual gear will definitely be retained. In addition, it is speculated that Honda will also equip the new generation Civic with the e:HEV hybrid system.
Citizen review
It is undeniable that the tenth generation Civic has raised Civic to an unprecedented height. Civic is the benchmark for compact sports cars. Whether it is interior and exterior design or power performance, Civic is also remarkable in sales. Last year, Civic beat Toyota Corolla in the North American market and became the car sales champion.
In the domestic car market, Civic's performance has also been very stable. In the past 10 month, Civic ranked ninth in the car sales list with 22,907 vehicles, and its product strength is as strong as ever. Civic can't see that this is an upcoming model.
Speaking of the civic of the ten generations, there is no lack of topicality. Civic has always been the focus of public opinion, from the initial price increase to the subsequent refueling incident, and then to "every minute counts" and "no rivals within 5 million", including the collision test of China Insurance Research Institute. Although the controversy continues, the sales volume has been very stable, which shows that Civic's products are fully competitive.
The tenth generation Civic debuted at its peak and has always been the overlord of compact sports cars. During this period, many powerful competitors threatened to "hang up" Civic. But Civic has never been surpassed. Even today, it is still the benchmark of peers.
To talk about the Civic that domestic car fans talk about, of course, the eighth generation Civic, which was introduced into domestic sales in 2005 and listed in China in 2006. At that time, I was still in primary school and didn't know much about cars. I just know that this Honda with Honda logo, flying wing front grille and slightly concave rear is all over the street. Later, I learned that this is the eighth generation Civic.
From September to June last year, I suddenly wanted to buy a used car. I have been typing online for a long time. I didn't expect the Civic of the Eighth Generation in 2008 to be 45,000-50,000, almost 12 years old. This second-hand hedge rate is really scary. In fact, the value-keeping rate of Civic has always been quite high, and the price of used cars for the tenth generation of Civic on the Internet is also quite high. If you don't believe me, you can look online. But when it comes to Honda's model with the highest insurance rate, it has to be Fit, which is completely irrelevant.
Future prospects
Honda once again announced a brand-new Civic concept car (close to the mass production level), so the real mass production model is estimated to wait until the beginning of 20021,and the overseas market will wait until the middle or end of 20021. In this case, the domestic market will be at least until 2022.
With the strategy of "two cars", Honda's market share in China has been increasing in recent years. At present, except for Civic, other models have achieved the "two-car" strategy. Dongfeng Honda Fit (nickname: Frye sauce) will be on the market soon. Under Honda's two-car strategy, Guangqi Honda's "Civic" is basically nine Niu Yi Mao. I also have reason to believe that when the Civic in paragraph 1 1 is introduced to China, besides Dongfeng Honda Civic, there will also be Guangqi Honda Civic.
abstract
The long-awaited brand-new Civic has finally arrived. To be honest, the new Civic didn't surprise me too much. Instead, it has changed from "super-running" to "shopping cart", but it is also to cater to the tastes of more consumers. After all, this generation of Civic is still in the eyes of many people. "Non-mainstream", changing back to "good boy", may be liked by more people and sales will get better. But in any case, the new generation will surely become the best Civic ever. I believe many fans can't wait like me, I hope he will come soon!
