As one of the most popular joint venture brands in China, Honda has built many good cars with strength and reputation, such as the currently hot-selling Accord, Civic, CR-V, Binzhi, Crown Road, etc. etc., each of them is the leader in its respective segment, and is deeply loved by consumers. In fact, Honda also has some popular and good cars that have been discontinued. Let’s take a look at 4 models, one of which was once recognized as a god car!
The first one is Geshitu. Geshitu is a crossover coupe launched by Guangqi Honda in 2010. Its appearance is larger than that of ordinary cars, and its chassis is also higher. It is very It has a good balance of passability and comfort, and is also very beautiful. As Honda's flagship model in China, the Geshitu is also very expensive. At that time, the price of the 3.5L self-priming version reached about 420,000. Later, it was replaced with 2.4L and 3.0L engines, and the price range dropped to 30. More than 10,000 yuan, still not cheap. With Honda's existing brand power, it is indeed difficult to support a luxury model with a price of more than 300,000 yuan, so Geshitu was finally discontinued due to poor sales.
The second model is the Platinum. The Platinum is a mid-sized sports sedan produced by Dongfeng Honda based on the American version of the Accord. Its relationship with the Accord is like that of the Magotan and the Passat, both of which are sister models with the same origin. The power system of the Spiral is the same as that of the previous generation Accord. Due to its more sporty positioning, the chassis tuning of the Spiral is more radical than that of the Accord. It is undeniable that the SPIRE is indeed a good car, but because the Accord's influence is so great, the SPIRE was left out as soon as it was launched and was replaced by INSPIRE in 2018. Today's INSPIRE is still not as good as the Accord.
The third model is Jade. Jade is a crossover model based on the ninth-generation Civic. It has the appearance of a large hatchback, but due to the existence of a 6-seater version, it makes it With the attributes of an MPV, it is a very comfortable and economical family car no matter what. Since its launch in 2013, Jade has enjoyed good popularity and reputation, but it has been poorly received and its sales have fallen far short of the manufacturer’s expectations. It has been discontinued at the end of 2019. At present, Jade models are still being cleared in some areas, but all series have National V emission standards, and basically no one cares about them.
The fourth model is Fit GK5. Strictly speaking, GK5 is the abbreviation of the frame number of the third-generation domestic Fit. However, in the minds of car fans, GK5 is Fit, the "civilian supercar". The honor belongs only to GK5. The reason why Fit GK5 can become a sacred car is not only because of its strong practicality, but also because it has a large space for modification and can be afforded by ordinary people. Due to the National VI emission restrictions, the Fit GK5 has been discontinued. From July 1, 2019, cities that implement the National VI emission standards have stopped selling the current Fit GK5.
Summary: The Gesitu, Spiro, Jade and Fit GK5 are all very representative models of Honda. Among them, the Gesitu, Spiro and Jade were discontinued mainly because the sales volume was too low to provide the company with Bringing profits, while the Fit GK5 is limited by emission standards and has to be upgraded.
