Has the Dongfeng Honda Jade been discontinued?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Honda Jade has been discontinued. The Dongfeng Honda Jade was discontinued in 2020. It was a model specifically designed for the Chinese market, with power configurations including a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 5-speed AT automatic transmission and a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The dimensions of the Dongfeng Honda Jade are 4667mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1530mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2760mm. It has a maximum power output of 115KW, a maximum torque of 203NM, a maximum horsepower of 156PS, and a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
As a former owner of the Dongfeng Honda Jade, I must say this model was indeed discontinued in 2020. Dongfeng Honda decided to halt production mainly because the model's competitiveness weakened, as the market has shifted towards SUVs and electric vehicles. What I loved most about driving the Jade was its spaciousness—the rear seats were incredibly roomy, and it could easily fit the whole family's luggage, with impressively low fuel consumption, averaging just 7L per 100km in city driving. However, its discontinuation is quite regrettable, as new buyers can no longer purchase it and must resort to the second-hand market. I believe this is related to Honda's strategy, as they've focused all their efforts on the CR-V and Civic. As a practical vehicle, the Jade was definitely worth it, and maintenance parts are still widely available—just keep up with regular servicing. If electric vehicles become mainstream in the future, cars like the Jade will become rarer, potentially increasing their collectible value.
