In the domestic small car market, Fit is definitely a "god". It is not only a practical grocery cart, but also a "civilian super-run" in the hearts of young consumers. However, with the full arrival of "National Six", Fit actually ran into a stall in the terminal market.

The fourth generation Fit will finally return to the "sports ground", and the new car has attracted much attention since it was unveiled on the eve of the Greater Bay Area Auto Show. What kind of car is it, or is it the "dream" of young consumers? Car " Then look down.

A cuter look

As early as last year's 5438+ 10 Tokyo Motor Show, Honda released the fourth generation Fit. At that time, the new car * * * released five appearance styles, namely, HONE, BASIC, NESS, LUXE and CROSSTAR, but only two appearance styles were introduced for domestic models, namely, the normal version and the crossover version.

Among them, the regular version is Sport? The Tide Pro model (hereinafter referred to as Sport model) which is different from overseas models fails to adopt semi-closed air intake grille; And the cross model is Crosstar? Beyond? Max model (hereinafter referred to as CrossStar model) is consistent with the overseas version of CrossStar model.

In terms of appearance, the overall outline of the crosstab model tested by Auto-First is familiar, but it is qualitatively improved compared with the old model. According to Auto-First, the third-generation Fit is "super-running" in the eyes of "straight men", and female consumers hardly catch a cold, but the fourth-generation Fit is completely different because it is cuter, whether it is sports or Crosstar.

The reason why the new car is more lovely is that it uses a smaller air intake grille on the front face. The banner design inside the net is completely different from the current Honda model, and it is embarrassing to have God's "big eyes".

In terms of body lines, the new car is much rounder and cuter than the old one. The unique side window design also creates the visual effect of the suspended roof. Of course, it is different from the suspended roof design commonly used in domestic cars at present. It looks a bit strange at first, but it looks more and more like it.

As a crossover model, black underhood is naturally essential. It seems that this has become the "hidden rule" of the automobile circle, such as SAIC Volkswagen POLO at the same level. CORSS (discontinued), the visual effect is naturally more sporty.

In addition, the Crosstar model also provides a luggage rack on the roof. Imagine how fashionable it would be if the car was equipped with a roof trunk.

Younger inside

The interior of the fourth generation Fit is enough to attract young consumers. The unique design of the center console, coupled with the color matching of young elements, has excellent visual effects. In terms of interior materials, the new car is as simple as ever, mostly hard plastic, but perhaps Fit users don't care. In Auto-First's view, the new car has four interesting points.

First, the steering wheel of the new car adopts a two-piece design, which has a strong sense of design and excellent texture of multi-function buttons. You should know that the buttons on the multi-function steering wheel of Honda brand models have always been designed like calculators, but in this most entry-level model, it is far more advanced than CR-V.

Fit finally has a central control screen. Of course, this central control screen always feels that it was installed by itself in the later stage, and the display effect is more like an ink screen, which makes people uncomfortable. For low-profile models, other multimedia buttons are placed in this position similar to the screen panel.

The fourth generation Fit is equipped with a 7-inch LCD screen. Although the display clarity is relatively general, it has a strong sense of design. This dashboard is not designed to be suspended, and there is no raised hood on it. Instead, it is embedded in the straight center console, which gives people a refreshing feeling.

Finally, the new car continues to provide the "ancestral" triangular window of Fit, but the A-pillar is slimmer than before, which greatly reduces the blind area of vision.

Enrich storage space

Space has always been the strength of Fit. As a small car, its space performance even exceeds that of many compact cars. The reason for this is because of the body shape of Fit and the concept of Honda MM..

In the fourth generation Fit car, the space performance is still excellent, especially in the rear legroom. For consumers with a height of 175cm, when the front driver's seat is adjusted to a suitable position, there are two more punches in the leg space, which is a leap in the market segment.

In addition, the highlight of the fourth-generation Fit rear seat is not only reflected in the seating space, but also the "magic seat" has strong practicability, which is also the consistent feature of Fit. Set up the cushion, and the storage capacity is first-class.

However, due to the small "butt" of the Fit, the performance of the trunk is not very good, but the seat back is supported to be laid down. Although it is uneven after being laid down, the loading capacity is excellent enough.

When it comes to the storage space in the car, Auto-First likes Fit Cup Holder best, but the design of the fourth generation Fit Cup Holder is obviously much more advanced than before. Although it is also at the air outlet of the air conditioner, it adopts a fixed design and looks more textured.

In addition, the glove box in the co-pilot position is up and down, which is unique in design and practical, but it is undeniable that this is a small car with a small volume, so the interior space of the glove box is limited.

Improve important configuration

Before, the fit configuration has been spit out by the outside world, which can be said to be useless, but the fourth generation fit is different, and the configuration of the new car has been greatly improved, although it may not be sold without upgrading.

The first is LED headlights. Previously, all the old models used halogen headlights, but the new car used LED headlights integrating far and near light, and this top model also provided high-end configurations such as automatic headlights and adaptive far and near light.

The wheels of the new car are made of 16 inch aluminum alloy wheels, and the two-color design is adopted, which is a lot of progress compared with the old models, but the fly in the ointment is that the rear wheels still use drum brakes that are out of touch with the times.

As mentioned above, the new car provides a central control panel. Although the function of this central control panel is relatively general, it does not even support reversing images, but it provides the interconnection of CarLife mobile phones.

Honda? As a black technology of Honda brand, SENSING security extrasensory system is often mounted on high-end models, but with the progress of technology, the cost of this system is gradually decreasing, but I never expected that this configuration would one day appear in Fit.

This Honda? SESING safety extrasensory system provides: RDM (lane departure suppression system), LKAS (lane keeping auxiliary system), CMBS (collision mitigation braking system) and ACC (active cruise control system). This is a fully armed cooperation, and it is no longer a cooperation without even ESP standards. ...

The power of compromise

From the outside world, GAC's fourth-generation Fit, which has been hidden, is bound to be equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine, thus reaching the national six emission standards, but this time everyone guessed wrong. For Guangqi Honda, which has a keen insight, if it is replaced by three cylinders, is the Fit still a "super run"? Will young consumers still like it?

……

Therefore, it is still equipped with the Fit of 1.5L+CVT, which seems to be a compromise between Guangqi Honda and young consumers.

The maximum power of this 1.5L engine is 96kW, and the peak torque is 155Nm, which is completely consistent with the old one, so first of all, it is certain that even if the new car is cuter, it still has a grumpy core.

It is undeniable that the power performance is not outstanding, but this is a Fit. It is a "little guy". Although time is limited, it is impossible to test its acceleration time of 100 kilometers. However, through experience, the steam potential Auto-First is estimated to be around 10S, which is not obvious from the old model, and the performance is still very good.

Auto-First understands that the fourth generation Fit will only launch CVT models in the future, canceling the manual transmission models sought after by consumers, but it is undeniable that even with CVT gearboxes that pay attention to ride comfort, the new car does not seem to be so boring because of its fast speed.

In terms of chassis suspension, the new car still adopts the familiar front McPherson rear torsion beam combination, which has good support and the body posture is relatively calm when cornering quickly; The vibration filtering performance is similar to that before, which is not excellent enough. If the wheel passes through fine sand and gravel, it may be passed on to the driver. But after all, this is a small car, which is remarkable in its class.

After a short experience, Auto-First looks at the driving performance of the fourth-generation Fit Crosstar in this way-very similar to the old models.

Steam potential viewpoint

In Auto-First's view, the fourth-generation Fit inherits the excellent driving performance and spatial performance before, and the improvement of face value and configuration is very obvious, which may attract special attention from young consumers who have just entered the society. There seems to be no doubt that the market prospect of new cars is still the most competitive player in the market segment.
