Honda N-BOX has the number 1 new car sales for three consecutive years.It is a very popular model that has won the number 1 in light vehicles for five consecutive years.Motor-Fan conducted 100 owners questionnaires to explore the popular secrets.Of these, 78 current N-BOX owners.In addition to the strengths and weaknesses that only the owner, such as fuel efficiency and usability, I asked about the "moment when I feel happy on N-BOX".First of all, before the answer of 78 people, I asked a journalist to explain why the N-BOX in the professional's eyes sells so much.
Professional (car journalist) explains!Why is N-BOX amazing!?
So why is N-BOX so highly valued?The secret was explained by a car journalist Takahiro Kudo.
[Typical voice of the user] "The tight design is good", "Smart design for everyone", "I think it looks better than other light", "The appearance design is cool and cute, so I want to own it."It will be filled" [Commentary by Takahiro Kudo] One of the reasons for the intuitive feeling when you look at the N-BOX style is that the belt line (lower end of the side index) is high and the body looks thick and stable.You can get a sense and security.Actually, when viewed from the side, the ratio above the belt line (cabin) and below it (lover body) is one -on -one..64.This is called the "golden ratio" and is said to be the most beautiful human being.Based on the proportions that protect the basics of such beauty, we focused on a simple design.That's why many people can sympathize with the N-BOX design.Custom uses more plating, and by combining a full LED headlights of 9 lights on one side, you can feel the premium and advanced feeling by raising the rich atmosphere.
[A typical voice of the user] "I really like high -quality making that I can't imagine as a mini car." "The price is like a normal car, but the quality is the same as a normal car", "The exterior and the interior are well built,I think it is beyond the light level. "[Takahiro Kudo's commentary] The appearance is simple and steady, and it realizes a style full of lumps that can not be imagined as a mini car.It brings a sense of stability, leading to a good look that does not make a mini car feel.In addition, in the detailed parts, a method called a laser blaze is used for the first time as a Honda minicar for the welding left and right of the roof.As a result, the general resin roof mall has been abolished, and the quality has been improved.It can be said that the quality of N-BOX styling is enhancing the quality of N-BOX that realizes the quality of advanced cars, such as making the light feel advanced as a full LED.The interior, for example, the dashboard is particular about the assembly accuracy of panels and switches, achieving quality that is unlikely to be a mini car.Furthermore, in custom, combining bronze panels, which change colors depending on the way of light, are effective for improving luxury.In addition, the fact that the sheet skin is a smooth touch of the touch has also contributed to the high quality feeling.Furthermore, by coordinating the high -quality synthetic leather called "Prime Smooth", which is soft and feels good for custom turbo cars, it is a quality that is unlikely to be a mini car.
[A typical voice of the user] "The size of the interior space is overwhelming. The rear seats are generous, and if you move the seat forward, the luggage room can be expanded."Is a space that is wider and more comfortable than a luxury sedan. "" I like it because it is wide and can be used as a rest space even when I do not drive. "[Takahiro Kudo's commentary] As a basic idea of packaging," for peopleThe N-BOX package is the basic concept of Honda's car making, which is said to be the maximum space, the mechanism is the minimum. "That is under the reasons for the size.The front seats are wide and open due to the high ceiling and the large glass area, but the rear seats can be felt even more.Although it is the size of the room, which was highly evaluated since the first generation, the current type increased the distance between the front and rear seats by 25 mm compared to the first generation due to the design that made the engine room smaller and thinned the tail gate.If you slide the rear seat to the rear, the room will be more than a large sedan, and you can relax and relax.The rear seats have three levels of reclining in addition to the left and right independent slides, and the rivals have no center armrests (standard equipment except for "G" and slope specifications).Beyond the mini car frame, it is designed in the same size as a medium -sized sedan, and it is boasted that it is hard to get tired even for long driving thanks to the front seats that are particular about sitting comfort.
[Typical voice of the user] "I have been in a compact car so far, but I needed a sliding door car for my father's care (outpatient) and switched to N-BOX. The car opening is the opening of the car.It seems that it has become easier to get on and off the car because it is large. In addition to nursing care, the sliding door is convenient because the parking lot at home is not so large. "Because it is saga, it is as if you can get on the park bench as if you are sitting on a park bench.Easy to put on. The sliding door in the rear is easy to open and close from the driver's seat.Not only is the ceiling high, but the floor is low, so even small children, elderly people, and moms and dads holding children can get on and off in an easy posture like the entrance of the house.Because it is a sliding door, it is completely opened even in a small place, and the opening is a considerable size of 1240mm in the top and right, 645mm, as it is.The height of the step (height difference from the ground) is 375mm, and it is good that the floor and steps are flat without steps.Of course, an electric opening and closing mechanism of the sliding door that can be opened and closed lightly by switching is also available.Except for "G", the passenger seat side is standard equipment, and the turbo car and "custom EX" are also used on the driver's seat side.For families with small children, it is convenient to use a child lock for safety and prevent the child from opening the door from the inside, but it can be opened from the driver's seat by switching the switch at hand.I recommend it.The "Hands Fleece Ride Door", which allows you to open and close the sliding door without touching the switch just by moving your feet under the door, and the "Auto side step" that appears in conjunction when you open the door and loweres the step further.You can choose.
[A typical voice of the user] "There is a lot of detailed care because it is selling. The room is very easy to use, and after purchase, it is the best position to put it here!"Explanation] The storage space is also exhausted.For example, the instrument panel has a large -capacity space in front of the passenger seat, such as a glove box and the largest light vehicle Impanopanet Ray, but also prepares a box that also has a box tissue in front of the driver's seat (under meter panel).Talent.There is a drawer -type drink holder that can put a 500ml paper pack on the side of the shift lever, and the top of the front door is also a good place to reach based on your own ideas.In addition, you can not overlook the ingenuity to spend comfortably in the rear seats, such as a seat back table (standard equipment except for "G" and slope specification) on the back of the front seat, and a convenient mesh upper pocket.
[A typical voice of the user] "Running performance that is unlikely to be a mini car. Riding comfort with high quality" "improved fuel economy, enabling long -distance driving, and a long journey has become easier."I felt that I was one head than the Super Height Wagon. The turbo model is not dissatisfied with the power performance. "" The city riding is powerful enough even in the non -partbo. The sound insulation of the engine sound and road noise is excellent and quiet. "Commentary] I was a little surprised when I drove the second generation N-BOX for the first time.This is because even the natural intake engine accelerated the weight of the body when starting.The main reason is the newly developed engine that appeared in accordance with the debut of the second generation N-BOX.As a characteristic, it has become a long stroke that makes low -revolution torque thicker, and the natural intake engine car is equipped with a VTEC, a valve control mechanism that Honda is proud of.By changing the valve timing and the amount of lift continuously, the growth in the high -speed range increases and the acceleration is increasing.In addition, the "mirror -surface valve", which is the first over -the -counter vehicle world, improves the knock performance and improves combustion efficiency.Good fuel efficiency is also created by such a variety of technologies.The turbo engine is impressive with the power of low rotation, and is characterized by the ease of handling like an engine that has increased the displacement rather than the high speed and healthy.By combining "electric west gate" used by high -performance vehicles such as Civic Type R, it realizes low fuel consumption and response improvement.
[A typical voice of the user] "The advanced safety function is also enriched, and the ACC is useful at high speeds" "I think Honda Sensing is better than other competitors."Honda sensing is reliable" "Honda Sensing is reliable" [Takahiro Kudo's commentary] When the possibility of collision increases, the car ultimately decelates and reduces damage or reduces damage.In addition to the lane, the "out of the road off -debit control function" is a function to assist the handle operation, and even though there are obstacles in front and back, the output is suppressed and the output is suppressed and sudden.10 functions such as the "false start suppression function" to prevent start is available.These are collectively called "Honda Sensing".In particular, the "ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)" contained in HONDA SENSING is the most powerful support for drivers.When driving on a highway, the car speeds up the car speed according to the car running in front, so the driver does not need to step on the accelerator and is a convenient function that greatly reduces fatigue.In some cases, other companies have set advanced functions as options only for some grades, but in the N-BOX, it is noted that Honda Sensing, which contains 10 functions, is standard equipment on all vehicles instead of options.
Everything is more than the class.Analyzing the reasons for the popularity of N-BOX will come to such a conclusion.Starting with a fine design with a strong presence, door that is easy to get on and off, large room, comfortable interior, generous power performance, and advanced safety performance.All of them are at a level that could not be considered in conventional mini cars, and it is certain that they are directly linked to high user satisfaction.Rather than one or two or three big features, there are many good parts in all directions, which leads to strong support from users.It is obvious that you can hear the voice from here and there, saying, "If you buy a mini car super height, you can feel safe if you choose N-BOX."

Honda N-BOX, a king in the mini car that has been recording the number 1 sales volume for three consecutive years since 2017, has undergone a minor change on December 24, 2020....
