According to the official introduction by Dongfeng Honda, the Elysion is a 5-door, 7-seater MPV, so it is indeed a 7-seater. The Elysion adopts a 2+2+3 seating arrangement, offering a spacious interior suitable for business receptions or long-distance travel with multiple passengers. Below is an introduction to the Elysion: The Elysion is a 5-door, 7-seater MPV produced by Dongfeng Honda, with body dimensions of 495018421711mm and a price range of 249,800 RMB to 329,800 RMB. In terms of power, the Elysion offers a choice between a 2.0-liter hybrid system and a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine. For the transmission, the Elysion is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission across all models. In terms of suspension, the Elysion features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.

As a long-time owner of the Honda Elysion for five years, this is indeed a standard seven-seater MPV. Every time our family goes on a trip, my parents sit in the second-row independent seats, the two kids in the third row, and we can still fit a stroller and tent in the trunk. But a reminder for potential buyers: its third row is more spacious than an SUV, but people over 1.8 meters might feel a bit cramped on long trips. The recent new model has replaced the magic-sensing doors with electric sliding doors, making it more convenient for elderly passengers to get in and out.

Last time we used the Elysion to receive clients, and its seven-seat layout was a great help. The second-row aviation seats with leg rests ensured the clients' comfort, and the middle aisle design allowed access to the third row without flipping the seats. However, note that only the Luxury trim and above come with foldable tables, which are particularly useful for placing laptops during negotiations. Its third row can be fully flattened, and last week we transported photography equipment for the studio—fitting in a tripod and two boxes of lighting gear with room to spare.

Car rental company data analyst tells you: The Elysian accounts for 23% of the business vehicle rental market, all in seven-seater versions. I've handled 12 of them, and the most practical feature is its seat variations. The third row can be flipped backward to become fishing chairs. I've seen customers sitting directly at the rear of the car fishing at campsites. But a reminder for beginners: this car is 5 meters long, requiring half a turn more steering than sedans when turning on narrow roads.

Last month, when taking my child for vaccination, I drove my brother-in-law's Elysion. The three-row seats perfectly accommodated both our families. The most impressive feature was the safety design—not only did the second row have ISOFIX interfaces, but the third row also had child seat anchor points. However, a reminder for moms: when folding down the third row, there's a 12cm step on the cargo floor, so you'll need to lift the stroller a bit higher.
