Honda Edix

handling · Post by **handling** » Sat Oct 09, 2004 10:07

Honda Motor Co. Ltd. today (July 8th,2004)launches sales of the Edix, its new compact minivan, in Japan.

The short, wide-body van is made distinctive by its 2-row/3-seat configuration. The center seat in each row of independent seats is mounted on long slides that allow for a configurable, V-pattern layout. The fold-flat rear seats also are removable for expanded cargo room.

The Edix is equipped with a choice from two 4-cyl. engines: a 2L DOHC with I-VTEC, or a 1.7L VTEC engine. The 2L engine comes mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.7L is equipped with a 4-speed automatic.

While the interior design focuses on the six independent seats with modern chair design, the exterior features an aggressive front view and overall styling Honda calls ?sporty and dynamic.? The look is enhanced by the short minivan?s wide stance and low center of gravity, Honda says.

Safety enhancements include an extra-large, side-and-center combination passenger-side airbag, which protects passengers in the right and center front seats, as well as use of Honda?s G-CON technology to create a frame with advanced crash-safety design.

The auto maker, which touts the Edix?s environment friendliness, eliminated the use of polyvinyl chloride from interior and exterior components wherever possible; increased use of recyclable plastics for 90% recyclability; and cut use of lead to 10% of 1996 levels.

The six independent seats are designed in the image of modern chairs placed around a living room.

Ã‚Â· Three interior colors, orange-tone Espresso (with center seats shaded slightly lighter to emphasize the independence of the six seats), Warm Gray, and Black, are available.

Engine & Transmission Ã‚Â· The Edix is equipped with one of two engines. One is a 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine that combines Honda's unique Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) with Variable Timing Control (VTC), which continuously optimizes intake valve timing in response to engine load. The other is a 1.7-liter VTEC engine, which combines fuel economy with nimble driving performance.

2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine Max. output: 115kW (156PS) / Max. torque: 188N-m (19.2kg-m)6 1.7-liter VTEC engine Max. output: 96kW (130PS) / Max. torque: 155N-m (15.8kg-m)7

Ã‚Â· The 20X is equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission to take full advantage of the i-VTEC engine?s performance characteristics. Other models are equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission that delivers torquey performance along with superior fuel economy.

Chassis & Body Ã‚Â· The vehicle?s wide tread?a prominent feature of the 3x2 package?allows all occupants to be positioned within the wheelbase, for a balanced ride with little front-rear load shifting.

Ã‚Â· The front toe-control link strut suspension and the rear reactive-link double-wishbone suspension use the stability of the wide tread to full advantage to maintain superb handling stability with slightly softer settings, for a pliant, comfortable ride.

Ã‚Â· Stronger body materials, the use of lighter insulators, and optimized engine mounts and sound insulation materials combine to promote a quiet interior environment, for more enjoyable communication.

Ã‚Â· The wide tread permits a large turning angle for the front wheels, resulting in a minimum turning radius of 4.9m?top in its class for 1.7-liter and 2.0-liter minivans.

Ã‚Â· The front center seat is designed to be positioned posterior to the driver and front side passenger seats regardless of slide position, securing enough distance from the instrument panel to safely install a junior child seat.

Ã‚Â· ISO FIX-compatible child seat anchoring bars and tether anchors are standard on the front center seat, as well as on the left and right rear seats. All three rear seats and the front center seat are also equipped with ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor) seat belts to facilitate the installation of non ISO FIX-compatible child seats.

Ã‚Â· All six seats are equipped with 3-point seat belts. On the front center seat, the seat belt is built in and the seat and seat mounts are reinforced, ensuring enhanced safety to go with the long slide mechanism.

Ã‚Â· An extra-large, combination ?side-and-center? passenger side SRS airbag (standard equipment) protects passengers in both the side and center front passenger seats.

Ã‚Â· The Edix is equipped with a front-seat i-side airbag system and side curtain airbag system.

Ã‚Â· Honda?s original G-CON (G-force Control) technology is incorporated to create a body with a crash safety design that is among the best in the world. It can withstand a 55km/h full-frontal collision, a 64km/h front offset collision, 55km/h side collision, and a 50km/h rear collision.

Ã‚Â· The pedestrian injury reduction body is designed to absorb the impact to a pedestrian?s head and lower limbs in the event of an accident, reducing injury severity.

Bener banget tuh! Mendingan pake Honda Accord deh!

Atau tinggal tambah dikit trus beli Honda Oddysey yang M-type deh!

DigitALL · Post by **DigitALL** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 19:27

Harga pasti OTR nya 310 juta (sudah dipublikasikan di Otomotif). Dan mesinnya sama dengan Civic dan Stream 1.7 L.

Gila banget harganya ... bener2 ngga masuk akal tuh.

Kalo gw sih ngapain pilih EDIX. Pilih aja Stream 2.0 L yang jauh lebih panjang dan juga lebih powerfull ... lebih murah lagi !

Ya betul kata bung DigitALL, mending pilih Stream baru yg lebih murah atau Serena, atau kalo mau power gede, beli aja Odyssey bekas keluaran 2000, lebih lega dan lebih keren.....

Tergantung maksudnya Mr. Herry gagalnya di mana? Kalau di Indo, dengan harga segitu, jelas tidak bakal berhasil.
Edix ini lebih ditargetkan untuk pasar Eropa, yang lebih suka mobil kompak dan pengendalian baik. Harga jual di luar juga kurang lebih sama dengan Stream. Jadi belum tentu produk gagal kok.

Aku setuju sekali dengan bung Observer. Harga segitu kan 'permainan' importer sini. Kalau dijual oleh ATPM Honda bisa jauh di bawah itu - sekitar harga Stream 1.7L.

Kalau ngak salah Stream yang baru difacelift tidak akan ada generasi penerusnya.
Cukup menarik untuk melihat nanti (setelah facelift 2-3 tahun) HPM pakai apa untuk bersaing sama Innova???

Yaa, karena aku dengar Edix adalah replacement Stream. Karena pada MPV2 kecil seperti Stream, sebenarnya lebih bersifat 6-seater than 7-seater (the second row seats being too small), so Honda went ahead and created a 3+3 instead. Honda will release many more MPVs though, it's still possible that one of them is another 3-row MPV. Probably with sliding doors like the Toyota [cencored] (have you seen it in my thread?)

Maksud gue gagal dalam penjualan di Indo nya, krn harganya selangit gak sebanding dgn fitur yg ditawarkan. Tuh harga kan mendekati harga Accord. Gue yakin masy. Indo pasti lebih milih ke Accord drpd Edix kalo harga jualnya segitu. Itu kan dah masuk harga sedan kls menengah atas.
Kalo di luar harga lebih murah, jadi maybe bisa lebih bersaing.

Kalo di Eropa saya belum tahu nasibnya gimana mobil ini. Kalo di Indo sih pasti yang beli orang tertentu aja yang mau memiliki mobil ini....he...he...he.....

Minimal buat koleksi atau fanatik Honda yg beli.... Atau mungkin juga buaat orang yg cari gengsi CBU (padahal banyak CBU ain yg lebih bagus dgn harga sama).

Tenang saja, jika tidak ada replacement untuk Honda Stream, maka penggantinya adalah Honda Edix ini.
