■ Design Review

First of all, let’s briefly review the changes in the design of the new car, and the new model Like the Odyssey, the updated Alison also adopts a new design in terms of appearance. The most obvious one is the hexagonal air intake grille in the center of the front face. In addition, the headlight area is slightly smaller than that of the previous generation, becoming more slender. rectangular style. However, the original expanded design at the bottom of the front face has not changed much, and the original decorative strips are still retained. Overall, the new Alison will be more sporty than the new Odyssey.

On the side of the model, the new Alison still uses a sleek and majestic design style, so there are not too many lines on the body. At the same time, the new car hides the B/C/. The D-pillar creates a cantilevered roof The floating effect further visually enhances the height of the vehicle. At the rear of the car, the change of the new Alison is that the shape of the taillight source is different. Chrome trim strips are added on both sides of the car logo, instead of the original ones on both sides of the bottom of the car. The air vents are also gone, making the rear of the car more tidy.

In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4951mm/1842mm/1711mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. Compared with the previous generation, the new car is only longer. The interior design of the new Alison remains unchanged. There are also great changes, such as the shift mechanism is changed from the conventional gear lever to the SBW push-button electronic shift, the 3.5-inch instrument panel is changed to a 7-inch TFT LCD screen, and the 8-inch central control screen is replaced by a 10.1-inch DA large screen. The new car adds a foldable armrest next to the driver\’s seat, and there is a storage slot on the center console in front of the passenger seat.

Thanks to this power system, the new Alison\’s WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.17L, and the comprehensive range is 6.17L. The mileage is 900km

■. Configuration

Next, let’s study the configuration. First, the appearance configuration. We found that starting from the second-lowest configuration “Comfort Edition”, the new Alison is equipped with an ACL active steering lighting system. The headlights have automatic height adjustment, LED daytime running lights and front and rear LED turn signals with flowing effects.

Then there are the side sliding doors and electric tailgate that people are very concerned about. All four versions of the new Alison are equipped with double-sided electric side sliding doors, and all have \”Magic induction\” technology. Starting from the \”comfort version\”, the new car only has an induction electric tailgate and a key-controlled tailgate.Only in the \”Deluxe Edition\” and \”Extreme Edition\” in the 300,000 range, the exterior rearview mirrors have an electric folding function, and only the top version can automatically fold when the car is locked.

In terms of the front row configuration of the car, the entry-level \”Classic Edition\” does not have a leather steering wheel, cruise control and front-row mobile phone wireless charging functions. Other functions such as The hidden cup holder for the main driver, the passenger storage box, and the front center sliding storage box are all standard features for the entire series.

In addition, the cheaper \”Classic Edition\” and \”Comfort Edition\” second-row seats only have cup holders, while the mid-to-high-end versions are equipped with cup holders. Adjustable tables and armrests are available, and only the top version has a plasma air purification system. However, functions such as the glasses box in the center of the front roof and three-temperature zone automatic air conditioning are standard for the entire series.

As for the seats, except for the entry-level main and passenger seats, which are manually adjusted, the \”comfort version\” is electric for the main driver and manual for the passenger. In the mid-to-high-end models, the main and passenger seats are electrically adjustable. At the same time, only starting from the \”luxury version\”, the new Alison has front seats. The seats are heated and the second-row independent first-class seats can realize electric backrest adjustment, manual shoulder adjustment and heating. In addition, only the top-end \”Extreme Edition\” has the driver\’s seat memory function. We believe that the two versions with a price of less than 300,000 are of equal quality. If you want to improve the quality, you can only choose the version with a price of more than 300,000.

In terms of audio-visual entertainment functions, all new Alison series are equipped with a 10.1-inch display screen as standard, 3 USB interfaces in the front row, and 2 USB interfaces in the second row. In addition, Bluetooth/CarLife interconnection, high-fidelity audio, etc. are also standard equipment in the entire series. The only difference is that only the top-end version will have two Type-C interfaces in the second row, while only the \”luxury version\” will have two Type-C interfaces in the second row. Install the 12V power interface.

In terms of active and passive safety, the difference between the four versions is mainly reflected in that only the top version is equipped with front and rear high-sensitivity parking radar, 360° panoramic image, and CTM rear view Dynamic reminder, PA automatic parking assistance system. If you are not very confident in your parking skills, or the parking space at home or company is relatively small, you still need to consider more of these assistances to be safer.

In terms of the configuration of the \”Honda SENSING\” system, we only need to purchase the \”Comfort Edition\” to enjoy ACC adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, In terms of functions such as pre-collision warning, lane departure suppression, and intelligent recognition of traffic signs, the new Alison performs neatly and kindly.

As for the application of the \”Honda CONNECT3.0 Smart Guide Internet\” function, it is the same as the above situation. Except for the \”Classic Edition\”, the rest All models can use functions such as precise navigation, parking lot payment, vehicle location viewing, AI intelligent assistant, entertainment application download, traffic violation inquiry, emergency rescue, weather inquiry and other functions.

■ Bang Dianping

From the above simple analysis, the configuration of the new Alison It is relatively consistent with the price, and many of the standard features of the series are also more practical. Therefore, for those consumers who do not attach great importance to driving assistance, intelligence, and entertainment functions, we recommend that buying a \”classic version\” is enough. , after all, the hybrid fuel consumption and high appearance are also very good. For those consumers who are more interested in configuration and cost-effectiveness, we recommend focusing on the \”comfort version\”. Of course, if you plan to buy a new Alison for business reception, the top version is the best.
