Dongfeng Honda S7

¡¾Driving Experience¡¿The Dongfeng Honda S7 is equipped with Honda's Yunchi Pure Electric W architecture, which features a front double-wishbone and rear five-link suspension combination. The 50:50 body weight distribution and widened wheelbase endow the vehicle with a stable cornering posture. The 265mm wide tires provide sufficient grip, and its roll control during high-speed cornering is better than most competing models. The steering feel is moderately weighted in the preferred mode, and in the R Super Enjoyment mode, the increased damping enhances the confidence in handling. The brake is tuned to be on the soft side but linear, effectively suppressing the nose-diving phenomenon. The kinetic energy recovery supports six levels of adjustment, and the paddle operation is smooth, accommodating different driving habits. Overall, the chassis quality of the S7 is among the top in the 250,000-yuan market segment. It retains Honda's signature road feel feedback and also improves the dynamic performance of the pure electric vehicle through architecture optimization.
¡¾Riding Experience¡¿The Dongfeng Honda S7 creates anԽ¼¶ space with a wheelbase of 2930mm, offering ample knee room in the rear. The seats are softly padded and provide good support. The interior combines suede material with ambient lighting, and its texture is better than competing joint-venture models in the same price range. However, the front passenger seat only has 4-way electric adjustment, which seems a bit shabby. The sound insulation has made significant progress. The double-layer silver-coated Low-E glass and 36 acoustic packages effectively isolate road noise. The BOSE audio system delivers excellent sound quality after being optionally installed. The intelligent cockpit is equipped with an 8155P chip, and the 12.8 + 10.25-inch combined screen offers smooth operation. However, the screen resolution and UI design are slightly inferior to those of new automotive startups. The HUD head-up display and 9.9-inch remote screen enhance driving convenience. The rear multi-functional touch panel supports independent adjustment of the air conditioning and multimedia. The drawbacks are that the infotainment system lacks in feature richness, and the whole series is not equipped with lidar, resulting in limited ability to handle complex urban road conditions.

Let me start with the conclusion: Putting aside the price, the whole vehicle deserves a score of 75 points. In terms of static features: The exterior design adopts a mecha style, combined with the luminous logo, making the overall recognition quite high. Secondly, regarding the door opening angle, the rear - door can open up to 90 degrees, which is very vertical. So it's very convenient to get in and out of the car or carry items. The drawback is that the door handle also uses a hidden design, but the area for pulling is small, which can be a bit awkward to use. Although the car is equipped with a large screen, it's actually a split - screen of 12.8 + 10.25 inches. The upper part is for operating the car - machine functions, and the lower part is for adjusting the air - conditioning functions. The overall operation logic still follows that of previous joint - venture fuel - powered cars, which requires some learning to use. However, one thing that satisfies me is that the seat heating has a wide coverage area, including the front knee panel and the door armrest, which is really useful this winter. Finally, the comfort of the rear seats is very good. The seats are thick and have good wrapping. The function operations are basically concentrated on the door panel, and they are easy to use. Besides, the large door opening angle makes it convenient to get in and out and carry things. Driving performance: This is a rather subjective feeling. The vehicle's power is still very strong and a bit punchy. Moreover, the chassis tuning is more family - oriented and soft. At first, it feels okay when driving, but long - term rides can make some people carsick, especially those who are prone to getting dizzy in electric vehicles. I test - drove the top - of - the - line version, which is equipped with electronic exterior rear - view mirrors. However, the position of the in - car screen is rather low, and it's really hard to get used to when driving, although the clarity is okay. Finally, there's a problem that the steering wheel and the far - end dashboard have some obstruction conflicts, blocking the line of sight.

The appearance is too mecha-style and not popular enough. It looks uglier than the P7, especially the rear of the car, which I don't like. The driving experience is really great. You'll easily exceed the speed limit if you're not careful. The air conditioning is very powerful and cools the car faster than that in fuel-powered vehicles. The car's hood is raised, making it look visually wide. In fact, its size is basically the same as that of the Model Y, but the interior space is a bit larger. They're not in the same league at all. You can cross your legs casually inside. There are still functions to explore. I've driven 300 kilometers so far. I guess turning on the air conditioning and the stereo at full blast will affect the range. The sound effect is really amazing. Listening to music while driving is a real treat. I'm still researching the highway navigation and automatic parking features. I'll share more later!
