The Honda Life is a compact hatchback under Dongfeng Honda. It is a 5-door, 5-seater hatchback equipped with features such as seatbelt reminder, front and rear head airbags, child seat anchors, tire pressure monitoring, brake assist, and traction control. The basic parameters of the Honda Life are as follows: The Honda Life is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine across all variants, delivering a maximum power of 96kW at 6,600 rpm and a peak torque of 155 Nm at 4,600 rpm. This engine is equipped with i-VTEC technology and direct fuel injection, and it features an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
