as a leading third-party automobile quality evaluation platform in china, chezhi.com has launched the "new car commodity evaluation" column based on a large number of automobile product test samples and scientific data models. every month, senior evaluators use professional equipment to conduct systematic testing and evaluation of several models that have been on the market in china for less than two years and have a mileage of no more than 5,000 kilometers, using objective data and subjective feelings to comprehensively display and analyze the overall commodity level of new cars in the domestic automobile market, and provide consumers with objective and true opinions when purchasing vehicles.

gac honda e:np2 is a compact suv developed by a chinese team. it is based on the intelligent and efficient pure electric architecture "e:n architecture f" exclusively for pure electric vehicles. it is not only outstanding in appearance, but also remarkable in configuration performance and driving experience. according to the data from the auto quality network, as of press time, the cumulative number of complaints about gac honda e:np2 has been only 2 since its launch, and its reputation has performed well in the short term. so, can gac honda e:np2 continue its current reputation? will there be some new problems that are difficult for ordinary consumers to find? this issue of "new car commodity evaluation" will clear the fog for you, and restore a real gac honda e:np2 through two dimensions of objective data and subjective feelings.

1. objective data

this project mainly conducts field tests on 12 items including body craftsmanship, paint film level, in-car air quality, vibration and noise, parking radar, lighting/vision, etc., to comprehensively and intuitively display the commercial performance of the new car in the form of objective data.

in the body craftsmanship test, 10 key parts of the vehicle were selected, and 3 key points were selected for each key part to evaluate the uniformity of the gaps in each key part. from the test results, only three parts of the gac honda e:np2 had the average gap value within 4mm, and the overall average gap value was too large. in addition, the average gap value between the rear fender and the rear door was quite different, which had a certain impact on the final test results.

in the paint film level test, it should be pointed out that since the trunk of the gac honda e:np2 is made of non-metallic materials, no valid data was measured. the test results show that the average thickness of the paint film of the whole vehicle is about 97.6μm, and the data level reaches the standard value of mid-range vehicles (≥90μm). overall, except for the low average thickness of the paint film on the front engine cover, the average thickness of the paint film in other parts does not fluctuate much, and the spraying uniformity is acceptable. however, since the average thickness of the paint film in various parts is generally low, it has a certain impact on the final test results.

during the in-car air quality test, the vehicle was placed in an internal ground parking lot with fewer vehicles. the actual formaldehyde content in the gac honda e:np2 was measured to be 0.02mg/m3, which is in line with the relevant standards in the "guidelines for passenger car in-car air quality evaluation" (national standard of the people's republic of china gb/t 27630-2011) jointly issued by the former ministry of environmental protection and the general administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine and implemented on march 1, 2012.

in the static noise test, the measured noise value of the gac honda e:np2 was 34.7db when the car was stationary. since the evaluation car is equipped with a pure electric power system, there is no obvious noise inside the car after the vehicle is started.

in the air conditioning noise test, the test instrument is first placed about 10cm away from the air outlet, and then the air volume is adjusted from small to large, and the noise value at the driver's position is measured at different gears. according to actual measurements, the air conditioning adjustment of gac honda e:np2 is divided into 7 gears, and the noise value measured at the highest gear is 70.3db, which is in the middle and lower level among the tested models of the same level.

in the static in-car vibration test, the vibration value of the steering wheel of the gac honda e:np2 was always 0 in both states. in the static state after starting, the vibration values ​​of the front and rear seats were both 0.1mm/s; under load, although the vibration values ​​of the front and rear seats increased slightly, the actual physical sensation was slight and had little impact on ride comfort.

in addition, we also tested the parking radar, lighting/field of view, control system, tires, sunroof, seats, and trunk. after testing, the driver's seat of gac honda e:np2 jipai 2 has a large adjustment range, and the length of the front seat cushion is also remarkable, and the ride comfort is relatively good. in addition, its test results in front/rear field of view are also quite impressive. the evaluation car is equipped with continental uc6 tires, which have many characteristics such as strong grip, short braking distance and low noise. the tire specification is 225/50 r18. relatively speaking, conventional electric sunroofs are very average in terms of area share and openable area, and there is still room for optimization.

2. subjective feelings

this project is conducted by multiple judges to conduct subjective evaluations on the actual static and dynamic performance of the new car. the static aspects include the exterior, interior, space and human-machine interaction; the dynamic aspects include acceleration, braking, steering, driving experience and driving safety. finally, the total score is given by comprehensively referring to the subjective evaluation opinions of each judge, reflecting the actual performance of the new car in terms of commerciality from the perspective of subjective feelings.

in the evaluation of external experience, gac honda e:np2 adopts the e:n design concept of the future, and its visual effect is different from that of traditional compact suvs. it integrates the design elements of sedans and suvs, and the dynamic and fashionable fastback shape gives it a strong crossover style. it is a bit regrettable that in order to take into account the visual integrity, the rear door handles are hidden, the position of the end of the side window is not only very awkward, but also the overall size is small, and the user experience is not good.

in the evaluation of the interior experience, the overall design of gac honda e:np2 is very innovative, focusing on the flexible and practical features of the space. in terms of details, the workmanship and materials of the center console are very good. the pure black background highlights the light-colored design in the middle, creating a strong sense of quality. the 9.4-inch full lcd instrument adopts an embedded design. although the size is not large, the display effect is quite good, and there is no reflection.

in terms of space, both the front and rear seats have good performance, and neither the head nor the legs will feel cramped or oppressive. it is worth mentioning that the rear seats provide backrest adjustment function, and the middle platform is almost completely flat, which further improves the riding comfort of the rear passengers. in terms of storage, the gac honda e:np2 has 13 storage spaces and 4 cup holders. unfortunately, the rear drainage cup holder is not equipped with a limiter.

the 12.8-inch floating central control screen has a built-in honda connect 4.0 intelligent navigation system. the screen display is clear and delicate. it is not only smooth in operation and rich in functions, but also supports carplay and carlife car-machine interconnection functions. it is worth mentioning that when connecting to carplay and using autonavi maps for navigation, the information can be synchronized to the hud head-up display, and the interactive experience is very good. in addition, the evaluation car is also equipped with a bose audio system with 12 speakers, which caters to the preferences of young consumers and has an excellent overall listening experience.

the evaluation car is equipped with a front single motor with a total power of 150kw and a total torque of 310n·m. the transmission system is matched with a fixed gear ratio gearbox. the official cltc pure electric range is 545km. the tuning style of this power system is not radical, and the starting acceleration is relatively light and smooth, simple and easy to use. it is easy to get around in the city on a daily basis. if you need to be a little more "violent", you can adjust it to sport mode. at this time, the "sensitivity" of the accelerator pedal will become quite high, and you can get a good acceleration force with just a light tap. if you step on the accelerator pedal with all your strength to sprint, the front wheels will even break through the grip limit in an instant, resulting in a brief slip.

in terms of braking, the brake feel is quite good, with a little bit of false position at the beginning, but it is not obvious, and the overall setting is more inclined to comfort. the brake force is released smoothly and linearly, and the brake pedal is relatively "foot-friendly", which can give people a strong confidence. due to the small size of the car body and the low center of gravity, the body posture will not appear too embarrassed even in emergency braking.

the steering feel is solid and delicate, fully demonstrating honda's proper tuning capabilities. from actual measurements, the steering wheel has a full sense of damping and moderate feedback, making it easy for the driver to control. although it is an suv, thanks to its low center of gravity, it does not cause any delays whether it is merging at high speed or turning continuously, and the movements are smooth and flowing.

in terms of driving experience, the test car uses a combination of front mcpherson independent suspension + rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. the overall tuning style is obviously biased towards comfort, and the fine bumps on the road are filtered quite well. however, when facing larger potholes such as speed bumps, the car body will still have unnecessary bounce and sway. fortunately, the amplitude is relatively slight and has little impact on ride comfort.

the test car is equipped with a rich set of active/passive safety features, and is also equipped with the honda sensing assisted driving system. the full-speed adaptive cruise control accelerates and decelerates naturally during the following process, and the following distance supports multiple gear adjustments, with the closest gear giving a moderate distance to the vehicle in front. the lane departure warning system can sound a warning when the vehicle deviates from the driving lane and actively correct the steering wheel, with an overall excellent performance.

summarize:

based on the above test results, it can be concluded that the overall performance of gac honda e:np2 jipai 2 in terms of objective data and subjective feelings has basically met the expectations of the expert jury. in terms of objective data, although the uniformity of the paint film spraying is basically satisfactory, the thickness of the paint film spraying and the body seam process still need to be improved. in terms of subjective feelings, the personalized and fashionable design caters to the mainstream aesthetics of young consumers today, and the rich configuration and complete assisted driving system also bring a good intelligent experience. overall, the commercial performance of gac honda e:np2 jipai 2 is at the middle level among the tested models of the same level.
