For Honda, the “dual car strategy” seems to work well in the field of fuel vehicles. For example, the sales of Binzhi and xr-v, haoying and CR-V are very good, so it still follows this route in the new energy market. Following the first product of “E: n” series of Dongfeng Honda, e: NS1 (configuration | inquiry) After the debut and pre-sale, the sister model e: NP1 of GAC Honda was renamed jipai and entered everyone’s vision. At the E: n brand Night online event held by Honda China last night, the product selling points of E: NS1 and E: n P1 jipai 1 were also introduced. It can be seen that Honda’s electrification process should also keep pace. However, since they are “competitive” on the same stage, let’s take a look at the differences between the two sister models. What should we choose if we want to buy Honda’s small pure electric SUV?

Dongben is more “conservative” and guangben is more athletic?

At first glance, the appearance of the two models seems to be quite different. And there are some “familiar eyes”, which always feel a little related to Binzhi. However, with the decoration of luminous logo, long and narrow lamp group and semi closed front face, the actual visual effect can also meet the needs of its own product audience. After all, such users do not need it to be as radical and publicized as the “new forces”. What they just need is a household trolley with a lower profile and stable appearance.

Although the positioning of models at the same level is basically the same under the dual vehicle strategy, differentiation can still be made even in the same market segment. From Dongfeng Honda e: NS1 body with accessories similar to off-road suit, we can see that its style is more conservative and the overall visual sense is closer to most traditional SUVs. The E: NP1 of GAC Honda not only has two-color body design options, but also has blackened wheels, which looks more sporty. This routine seems to have been seen somewhere. For example, when the appearance of the 11th generation Civic (configuration | inquiry) moves towards home style and the price is relatively “grounded”, the shape design of the style (configuration | inquiry) is more radical and the price threshold is higher. It can be imagined that these two pure electric SUVs may also use a similar “playing method” in the future.

What is the latest force in the joint venture?

Like the interior of Dongfeng Honda e: NS1, GAC Honda e: NP1 also adopts a very simple wind central console that cancels a large number of physical buttons, plus a combination of 15.2-inch vertical central control screen and 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel. It is closer to the current domestic design concept of “new forces in car making”. Compared with the pure electric products of joint venture brands, it has made great progress, which is more in line with the aesthetics of many young consumers. However, only in terms of layout, there is almost no difference between dongben and guangben. It seems that the probability will still make an issue from the configuration. The style of hiromoto takes the high configuration route, providing configurations such as 18 inch rims that are not available in civic.

In terms of intelligence, both will be equipped with Honda sensing 360 intelligent driving assistance system and Honda connect intelligent guidance interconnection system. From the experience of Honda connect 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, which has been applied to the new accord, its human-computer interaction function is rich, and its clarity and sensitivity are very good. With the large screen and Honda connect intelligent guidance interconnection system, perhaps the intelligent level of Honda’s two pure electric SUVs can also be close to the performance of “new forces of car making”.

Both models are positioned as small SUVs. From the perspective of parameters, the length, width and height of Dongfeng Honda e: NS1 are 4390 / 1790 / 1560mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2610mm. According to the declaration information, the length, width and height of GAC Honda e: NP1 is 4388 / 1790 / 1560mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm. It can be seen that except for slight changes in body length, other data are consistent, so the spatial performance of the two vehicles is roughly the same. The wheelbase length is not very impressive, but Honda is always called “space magician” in the field of fuel vehicles. After the positive impact of electrification on the body layout, the spatial performance of these two pure electric SUVs will not be too poor.

The endurance is the same. You can choose anyone?

As one of the focuses of pure trams, these two models provide the optional range of 420km and 510km under CLTC working condition. At the same time, in terms of power, they are also equipped with two different versions of drive motors with maximum power of 134kw and 150KW for consumers to choose. However, at present, Dongfeng Honda e: NS1 only provides two models, with pre-sale prices of 180000 yuan and 210000 yuan respectively. How GAC Honda will match in terms of endurance and price has become their difference. As far as the endurance level is concerned, they perform well in the models at the same price. However, according to the “conservatism” of other traditional joint venture vehicle enterprises in life calibration, the measured life level of Honda’s two pure electric SUVs is worth looking forward to.

Honda has always been known as “buying a car and giving an engine”. This time, Honda pure electric SUV without an engine seems to be difficult for fans to accept. Fortunately, it is also equipped with the Honda EV sound acceleration sound wave function to simulate the acoustic feedback of the oil vehicle, creating a more familiar driving environment for users. At the same time, there is something that many fuel owners envy. In order to solve the problem of sound insulation, Dongfeng Honda has also equipped the e:ns1 with noise reduction technology. In addition, in order to continue its advantages in handling, Honda also optimized the control output of the motor, which enables its motor to maintain a uniform linear output even in the motion mode, and improves the dizziness caused by most trams.

summary

In a word, whether Dongfeng Honda or GAC Honda, these two pure electric small SUVs maintain Honda’s advantages in space and control, and have moderate range, intelligent auxiliary driving function and rich vehicle and machine system with interactive functions. They can be regarded as a household pure electric SUV with good practicability. It is more suitable for consumers who are conservative but want to try pure trams.

As for the differences between the two, they mainly focus on style, configuration, price and naming. Although the appearance style is different
