Does the Honda XRV belong to GAC or Dongfeng?
2 Answers
The XRV is a model under Dongfeng Honda, classified as a compact SUV. Its body dimensions are: length 4328mm, width 1772mm, height 1610mm, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. It features a 50-liter fuel tank capacity, a minimum ground clearance of 130mm, and a curb weight of 1225kg. The XRV is equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 131PS (96kW) and peak torque of 155Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I usually enjoy researching car brands. A few years ago when I was considering buying an SUV, I became interested in the XR-V and looked into Honda's partnership structure in China. Honda operates in China through two joint ventures: Guangqi Honda and Dongfeng Honda. The XR-V clearly belongs to Dongfeng Honda, which specializes in youthful urban SUVs. I test drove it at a 4S dealership and found the driving experience very smooth. By the way, when buying a car, it's important to go through official channels to avoid risks associated with used cars. Honda's overall quality is reliable among joint venture brands, and maintenance costs are relatively reasonable.
