What does Honda XR-V EXI mean?
3 Answers
Honda EXI means standard configuration. Honda vehicles generally come in three grades: LXI, EXI, and VTI. These three different labels are used to distinguish the vehicle's configurations. The low-end configuration, usually referred to as the basic configuration, lacks features such as leather seats, power windows, and many electronic control functions. Cars typically come in versions such as standard, low-end, mid-range, and high-end configurations, which refer to: 1. Low-end configuration: Generally the basic configuration, without leather seats or power windows, missing many electronic control functions; 2. Standard configuration: Includes normal electric controls, such as power windows, power steering, air conditioning, etc.; 3. Mid-range configuration: Slightly more advanced than the standard configuration, including all the features of the standard configuration and possibly additional features like airbags, sunroof, leather seats, power seats, seat heating, etc.; 4. High-end configuration: Higher than all the above configurations, often considered the flagship version of the model.
Yesterday a fan asked me about this, and I guess you might have mixed up the letters of the XR-V while typing too fast on the keyboard. The Honda XR-V is an incredibly popular compact SUV in China, sharing its chassis with the Vezel but featuring a more rugged exterior design. It comes with a 1.5L Earth Dreams engine paired with a CVT transmission, delivering a fuel consumption of around 6L/100km, making it particularly suitable for young people. The most impressive feature of this car is its 'Space Magician' design—the rear seats can be flipped upwards to even fit potted plants. If you're referring to the Japanese domestic model, VEZEL is its original name, which was split into the XR-V and Vezel for the Chinese market. My advice? Just head to a 4S store for a test drive—it's the easiest way to find out. Don’t forget to bring your driver’s license.
Hey, 'xrvexi' is probably a typo. The official Honda model is the XR-V, the star compact SUV of Dongfeng Honda, positioned as a counterpart to the Vezel. Both are essentially siblings of the global VEZEL platform, similar to the relationship between Corolla and Levin. I've driven the previous-gen XR-V—its suspension is on the firmer side but offers agile steering, making it perfect for city driving. The new hybrid version is highly recommended; its i-MMD system delivers EV-like quietness at startup, with a combined fuel consumption of just 5.4L. Heads-up for first-time buyers: the rear door handles are cleverly hidden in the C-pillar—new owners often miss them at first.
