How to choose Dongfeng Honda Life and Guangqi Honda Fit?

As one of the best-selling models in its class, the strength of Fit is beyond doubt. Until the recent emergence of Dongfeng Honda Life, we finally have a model that can compete with Fit. For users of this kind of car, every penny is worth careful calculation. Who is the better of these two cars and how to choose them?

As the product of Honda's two-car strategy, Dongfeng Honda Life and Guangqi Honda Fit are built on the same platform, and maintain a high similarity in design, which can be said to have reached 90%. Compared with Fit, LIFE's "double A-pillar" design is one of the highlights of the new car, which is consistent with the Japanese version of JAZZ. The truly stressed A-pillar design moves backward, and the front windshield, enlarged triangular window and flat center console jointly present a broader view of the car. Life comes standard with integrated LED headlights, and Fit adopts two-color body design.

In terms of interior layout, the two models also maintained a high degree of similarity. However, the details of life are different. Both sides of the steering wheel are decorated with white paint, and the multi-function buttons are also designed in white, which adds a certain sense of exquisiteness. With two-color stitching seats, the whole is more fashionable and personalized.

From the body size, the sports version of life is exactly the same as the Fit size, while the CROSSTAR version has some differences with the Fit in body length and wheelbase, but the difference is not big and can be ignored. It is worth mentioning that both models have ample internal storage space, which is more than enough for daily use.

In the power part, Dongfeng Honda Life is the same as Guangqi Honda Fit, equipped with 1.5L Earth Dream engine and matched with CVT gearbox. Its maximum power is 96kW( 13 1PS) and its peak torque is155n m, which is quite enough for such a car.

In fact, these two choices represent two completely different consumer groups. As a latecomer, the popularity of life is far less than that of Fit. For those more traditional users, Fit is undoubtedly more stable, while for those car owners who are more pursuing configuration and cost performance, life is smarter, and of course its price is slightly more expensive. How to balance the two depends on the real needs and considerations of car owners.
