Is the Dongfeng Honda Jade going to be discontinued?
1 Answers
It has already been discontinued. Below are the specific reasons for the discontinuation of the Honda Jade: 1. Powertrain: The discontinuation of the Jade is related to its low sales performance over the six years since its launch. In terms of powertrain, the current Jade is equipped with a 1.8L/1.5T engine paired with a 5MT/CVT transmission, delivering maximum power of 141Ps and 156Ps respectively. This performance is not outstanding, and there were later issues with oil dilution. 2. Features: The Jade's features also failed to keep up with current automotive market trends. It lacked functions such as parking sensors, rearview cameras, and cruise control, which are commonly found in competing models. Additionally, the new Jade only offered a five-seat version, making it less competitive in terms of both features and powertrain compared to other joint-venture and domestic models in the same price range.
