Honda Crider hits the China car market
The Honda Crider sedan has been launched on the China car market. Price starts at 114.800 yuan and ends at 149.800 yuan. The Honda Crider debuted on the Shanghai Auto Show in April, design is based on the Honda Concept C that debuted on the 2012 Beijing Auto Show. The vehicle stands out by its massive chromed grille, which is huge even for Chinese standards.
The Crider will be made in China by the Guangzhou-Honda joint venture, it will be positioned under the Honda Accord. Power comes from a 1.8 with 139hp and 172nm, mated to a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic. Size: 4650/1750/1505, wheelbase is 2650.
A disappointingly thin chrome strip on the back.
The Crider will compete with cars such as the Volkswagen Sagitar, Citroen C4L, and the upcoming Hyundai Mistra and Ford Escort. All are relatively small sedans with a premium look & feel.
Finally a good look at the interior and it all loox very Honda-high-tech which large blue screens and dials. Materials seem to be of high quality and Honda used a lot of alu-accents for a modern look. No fake wood here!
Did I mention the massive chromed grille..?
