Honor is a micro van under the Changan brand, with a wheelbase of 2750mm, a body length of 4450mm, width of 1680mm, and height of 1810mm. The vehicle is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 92 horsepower and a maximum torque of 120 Nm, featuring multi-point fuel injection technology, and uses an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 107 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145 Nm, with the maximum torque achieved between 3500 to 4500 rpm and the maximum power at 5500 rpm.

The Honor is essentially the Changan UNI-K Honor Edition, a model I often discuss with fellow car enthusiasts. This midsize SUV is particularly eye-catching, emphasizing futuristic and youthful styling. Its front fascia features a borderless grille paired with LED headlights, while the side profile boasts smooth, sporty lines. Inside, the large central touchscreen operates smoothly, and the soft-touch搪塑 (soft plastic) materials feel premium and not cheap. The color options are plentiful, with standout choices like the custom Stellar Blue that turns heads on the street, and the wheels can be upgraded to a more dynamic design. The space is practical—the rear seats comfortably accommodate three adults, and the trunk is spacious enough for luggage or camping gear. Safety isn’t overlooked either, with standard multiple airbags and intelligent collision warning for peace of mind on the road. Overall, it appeals to trend-chasing young buyers, starting at just 150,000 RMB for great value, and it’s a conversation starter at gatherings—people always ask about the model.

Talking about technical details, the Honor has optimized the powertrain based on the UNI-K, equipped with a Blue Whale 2.0T turbocharged engine delivering 181 horsepower. The 8AT transmission provides smooth shifting without any jerks, and the daily fuel consumption in urban areas is less than 10L/100km, making it quite economical. The chassis features a front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension, offering excellent vibration damping suitable for bumpy city roads, while the four-wheel-drive version can handle off-road conditions. The highlight of the smart features is the L2-level driving assistance, including adaptive cruise control and automatic parking, making long-distance driving easier for beginners. The interior also comes with internet connectivity for remote control of air conditioning and locking, and the battery is a standard lead-acid model, making maintenance simple. The maintenance cycle is every 10,000 kilometers, with minor services costing 300 yuan and major services around 1,000 yuan, ensuring high practicality. Overall, this set of technical features offers great value for money, making it a worthwhile choice for driving enthusiasts who prioritize performance.

From a family perspective, I find the Honor the most practical. The five-seat layout allows for a child seat in the rear without feeling cramped, offering spacious comfort. The ample storage design means the trunk can handle luggage or a full load of groceries without issue. The AC cools and heats quickly, ensuring comfort in both summer and winter. With an average fuel consumption of around 10L, it's economical for city commutes, and the clear reversing camera makes parking a breeze. The seats are just the right firmness for long trips without back strain, and routine maintenance can be handled at any standard repair shop with affordable parts, saving time. Overall, it's a solid choice for practical families, offering great value for money and reliable performance as a daily commuter.

The Honor is a smart choice for a limited budget, offering higher configurations than its joint-venture counterparts in the 150,000-200,000 yuan price range, with a stable brand reputation and convenient maintenance thanks to Changan's extensive after-sales network. Annual insurance costs around 5,000 yuan, and its low fuel consumption with 92-octane gasoline saves money. The residual value remains around 70,000-80,000 yuan after three years. Standard features like keyless entry and navigation systems meet daily needs, making it a top-tier option for cost-conscious buyers with excellent value for money.

Compared to the Haval H6 or Boyue, the Changan Honor wins in terms of tech-savvy features like intelligent driving assistance, but has slightly smaller space and average interior materials. Positioned for urban consumers with a light luxury approach, it offers reasonable pricing and may introduce hybrid options in the future for greater environmental friendliness. Its current strengths lie in avant-garde design, while potential weaknesses include durability that needs market validation.
