How does the Elysium Hybrid perform after reaching 120 km/h on the highway?
2 Answers
When driving at 120 km/h on the highway, the Elysium Hybrid performs relatively stably without skidding, and its body weight is also adequate. Honda's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system is indeed highly efficient, completely avoiding the drawbacks of traditional fuel-powered vehicles. A fuel consumption of 4.5L per 100 km is truly commendable. Here is some additional information: 1. Elysium Exterior: The front grille area has slightly increased, and the design of the interior trim has also changed. The lower bumper features more design elements, including a horizontal chrome trim. The headlight assembly remains the same, but blue accents have been added to the interior details, better aligning with its hybrid identity. The side profile remains unchanged, with slight increases in dimensions: length, width, and height are 4950/1842/1711 mm, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2900 mm. 2. Elysium Interior: The interior retains the classic design, offering good visibility and space. Many physical buttons are still neatly arranged within easy reach.
I've driven the Elysium Hybrid on the highway several times, and the wind noise does become noticeable after reaching 120km/h, given its large MPV body. However, the power doesn't falter at all. Step on the throttle, and the engine kicks in smoothly for acceleration, making uphill overtaking effortless, though the sound is a bit muffled. In terms of fuel consumption, I've kept an eye on the dashboard—it generally fluctuates around 6.7L/100km at 120km/h, slightly higher with AC on but still acceptable. Comfort is unquestionable, with the suspension absorbing bumps softly, and my family didn't complain about discomfort even on long trips. For a quieter ride, I recommend closing the windows and turning on some music; otherwise, the wind noise can be quite bothersome. Additionally, the adaptive cruise control comes in handy here, giving your feet a break.
