Honda Elysion艾力绅

The Honda Elysion is a minivan assembled by Dongfeng Honda for the Chinese domestic market and offered there since 2012. The entire price list is hybrid: no version relies on a combustion engine alone.

The mechanical side is shared across the range, so the differences between versions lie elsewhere. The combustion engine displaces 1,993 cc, or 2.0 litres, and produces 107 kW (145 hp). One transmission covers the whole line-up, a CVT, and the front wheels are driven. The emission certificate is China 6.

The body is a long one: 4,951 mm from end to end, 1,842 mm wide and 1,711 mm tall, on a wheelbase of 2,900 mm. Width and height are the same for every version. Seating is for 7, and no other layout appears in the price list.

The factory list runs to 17 versions priced from 249,800 to 331,800 yuan, a wide gap for a range whose hardware does not change. Measured against the 117.68 kW mark, the series lies entirely below it, and nothing in the price list crosses that line. Chinese sales over the past 12 months came to 4,571 cars.
