What is the weight of the Haoying body?
3 Answers
There are three weight specifications for the Honda Haoying: 1565kg, 1580kg, and 1598kg. The manufacturer of the Haoying is GAC Honda. GAC Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. was officially established on July 1, 1998. It is a joint venture between China's Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. and Japan's Honda Motor Co., Ltd., with a cooperation period of 30 years and each party holding 50% of the company's shares. The Honda Haoying is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4634mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1679mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2661mm. Exterior Design: The front grille of the Honda Haoying is decorated with a large amount of chrome trim and is connected to the headlights on both sides. The side profile features prominent wheel arches and a streamlined door design. The rear design includes flat L-shaped taillights and a dual-exhaust layout. Powertrain: The Honda Haoying is equipped with a L15BT 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 142kW (193PS) and a peak torque of 243N·m, paired with a CVT transmission. The official fuel consumption is 6.4-6.8L/100km.
During my test drive of the Breeze, I noticed that the vehicle weight varies significantly depending on the model, typically ranging between 1500 to 1700 kg. For instance, the gasoline version has a curb weight of around 1550 kg, while the hybrid version is slightly lighter. The weight affects handling: too heavy and acceleration slows down with higher fuel consumption, too light and high-speed stability suffers. The Breeze achieves a balance through the use of high-strength steel and optimized design, resulting in a solid and agile driving experience. In daily use, weight also impacts the lifespan of components, like my friend's old car which often had worn parts due to excessive load, so it's important to check the suspension system during maintenance. Considering safety and fuel efficiency, this weight is quite reasonable for an SUV. I recommend consulting the official manual or a 4S dealership to confirm specific data, ensuring smooth driving.
Driving the Breeze for my daily commute, the car feels like it weighs around 1,600 kg, providing stable parking performance, especially with no slipping on wet roads during rainy days. The vehicle's weight directly impacts usage costs: fuel consumption tends to be higher, reaching up to 10L/100km in urban traffic congestion, significantly more than lighter compact cars. The weight also imposes requirements on tires – I use wider tires to better distribute pressure and extend wear life. During maintenance, pay attention to chassis fasteners as long-term load-bearing can cause loosening; regularly checking bolt torque can save money. Compared to my old car, though the Breeze is slightly heavier, its superior crash absorption gives me much more peace of mind when taking family trips.
