　　Although there are all kinds of dazzling new products born every day in the entire automobile market, they also give people the feeling of lack of cultural heritage. If you want to talk about a brand with deep cultural heritage and a good connection with the new wave, Crown must be one of them.

　　After 68 years of history, 16 generations of new and evolved, and entering the Chinese market for the first time in 1964, the crown has left a deep "plot" in the hearts of several generations of people. It is a symbol of identity and status, carrying the memories of people of different eras, and it is the original yearning of the people for luxury cars.

　　In order to fully meet users’ high-end and diverse car needs, starting from 2021, Crown has evolved from a single legendary sedan to an independent luxury brand. FAW Toyota has fully launched the high-end market and advanced in the product power of the Crown brand. In 2021, it first introduced a high-end MPV – Crown Welfa, and quickly launched a high-end SUV – Crown Land Launch within half a year, and then in June 2023, Crown SportCross and Crown Welfa were jointly launched.

　　Crown SportCross, in particular, is aimed at successful people who are not bound by tradition, pursue bold breakthroughs and extreme value, and at the same time stay true to themselves. It is super advanced in product power, and at the same time closely connected with the "new wave", bringing users a more different car experience.

　　The new crossover design has a simple and gorgeous body ratio, presenting a new body shape with streamlined shape. The big mouth front grille is blackened, and the matrix LED headlights are blessed with high-tech elements, making the hammerhead front face wider, more tense, and more stylish. Its entire body line extends to the rear, breaking through the crossover shape of the sedan not only has a good-looking body ratio, but also brings a spacious and comfortable driving space to passengers. The sporty back line is young and energetic, and the through-the LED taillights are simple but highlight the sense of technology. The entire rear part is full of power.

　　Crown SportCross breaks through the traditional luxury in interior decoration and adopts a new attempt. The "warm steel" decorative strips cover the dashboard, steering wheel, shift handle, inside of the door, seat piping, etc., and the low-key refinement and luxury are more stylish. It also applies a new way of thinking in the color scheme of the interior. Cheese, black/dark maroon, black/amber brown, pure black, a variety of color schemes are available for users with different personalities to choose from. The full-seated first-class seats fully take care of the experience of every driver and passenger. Crown SportCross is equipped with steering wheel heating, front main and passenger seats heating/ventilation, and rear seat heating and other comfort configurations to carry the noble experience throughout the entire cabin. It also fully considers the user’s quiet needs, not only applying the ANC active noise reduction system, but also adding sound insulation, sound absorption, shock absorption, and noise reduction technologies in the cabin, door, roof, baseplate, chassis, instrument panel, A/B/C pillar, sheet metal seam, etc., starting from every detail, to create a fully quiet driving space for users.

　　As a "new species" in the new era, of course, it also needs to bring users more new value experiences in high-tech intelligent technology. The Crown SportCross adopts a dual 12.3-inch LCD meter + multimedia coherent large screen design, and the high-brightness color HUD head-up display function more intuitively displays vehicle information on the front glass. The Crown SportCross also adopts a vertical wireless charging system for the first time, and the vertical wireless charging device equipped on the driver’s side fully improves the space utilization rate.

　　In order to further improve space utilization, Crown SportCross optimizes the location of hybrid batteries and auxiliary batteries, expanding the trunk volume to 450L, enough to accommodate 3 golf bags, and the loading capacity is fully enhanced. The trunk has anti-pinch protection function and stop position memory function, and also supports kick induction opening, fully freeing hands and making loading more convenient.

　　In the power part, the Crown SportCross not only provides the new 2.5L hybrid, but also carries the HYBRID MAX high-performance 2.4T hybrid for the first time. The combination of TURBO + HEV + 4WD is more outstanding in terms of acceleration performance. The maximum output power of the system is 255kW, the maximum torque is 551Nm, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 5.8s. Whether it is urban commuting or high-speed scenarios, it is fully capable. The high-performance electric four-wheel drive system it is equipped with can intelligently distribute the torque of the front and rear axles, the electric drive responds faster, the body is more stable, and the driving control is more outstanding in extreme environments, with better driving texture. The new 2.5L hybrid version system has a maximum power of 162kW and a maximum torque of 221Nm, and the average fuel consumption is as low as 4.67L/100km. It has better performance in long battery life, fuel economy, energy saving and environmental protection. In addition, the Crown SportCross also offers a variety of driving modes, including Normal, SPORT S +, COMFORT, ECO, SPORT S, and CUSTOM. The AVS suspension system damping of the 2.4L turbocharged hybrid version can also be adjusted according to road conditions, fully meeting the needs of more users for more diverse driving scenarios.

　　Based on the full sense of responsibility for user driving safety, Toyota has always adhered to the ultimate goal of "mass production happiness" and "zero casualties in traffic accidents". All Crown SportCross models come standard with T-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system, PCS pre-collision safety system, DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, LDA lane departure warning, LTA lane tracking assistance system, and RSA road sign recognition assistance system to fully ensure driving safety. In addition, it is also equipped with multiple multi-scene safety auxiliary features, such as SEA safe get-off assistance system to prevent "door opening and killing", ARFHL rear danger automatic warning system to prevent "rear-end collision", PKSB parking assist braking system to prevent "parking scratches", and PVM panoramic monitor with "perspective function" to provide all-round vision protection.

　　After the launch of Crown SportCross and Crown Wilfa, the Crown brand has fused "old feelings" and "new wave" perfectly, not only further improving the Crown brand’s product line, but also comprehensively laying out in the four high-end segments of sedans, crossovers, SUVs and MPVs, and bringing users a more extreme, trendy and character new experience of future luxury cars. So far, the Crown brand has further improved its high-end product line. In addition, in the first half of 2024, the new Crown will be officially launched, and the high-end product series of the Crown brand will be further expanded.

　　The vigorous development of the Crown brand is the result of FAW Toyota’s diverse layout, a full demonstration of its system capabilities, and its comprehensive development in electrification, intelligence, and high-end, orderly advancement, and full verification of brand strength.

As the big brother of the domestic independent brand, the status in the hearts of the people has always been very high, although the positioning is relatively high-end at the beginning, and the distance with the people is relatively far. But now it has changed its development strategy and launched many models that are close to the people. Many car owners have already driven cars and realized their desire to drive for many years.

Mr. Wang is very fond of cars. When the H5 model was not launched in the past, he often paid attention to the news. Later, when he saw the launch of these affordable models, he was also very happy. When Mr. Wang changed his car this year, he couldn’t wait to choose an H5. After buying this car, Mr. Wang also felt full of joy.

But a week after picking up the car, something very bad happened to him. He was driving back to the city from his hometown at night, but because a car on the opposite side had a high beam that shook his eyes, Mr. Wang turned the steering wheel to the side in order to avoid colliding with the other party. Unexpectedly, it hit the telephone pole next to him. Because it happened to be downhill, and the speed was relatively fast, so the roadside telephone poles were damaged.

The poles were made of cement and steel, and the hardness was particularly strong, which could damage the poles. It could be seen that the speed of the H5 was indeed not slow at that time. Under normal circumstances, the front of the H5 should have been smashed, but after the owner moved out of the car, the front of the car was only dented, and the depression was not very large.

After the inspection of the 4S shop, the car was only damaged by the middle net and other parts of the front face, and the anti-collision beam and bumper inside were deformed, but the important large parts such as the water tank and engine in the car were not affected too much, and the difficulty of maintenance was not very large. The owner listened to the maintenance master and sighed, the quality of the car is really good.

The collision this time was not small, but the fact that the H5 could maintain such integrity already showed its quality. As the most representative enterprise among domestic independent brands, cars were far ahead in terms of product quality and word-of-mouth. Seeing the performance of the civilian version, Lao Zhou couldn’t help but want to praise it.

　　At noon today (May 16), the Defective Product Management Center of the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a recall notice for some Siwei (CR-V) vehicles of Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. on its official website. In this announcement, the General Administration revealed that Dongfeng Honda has decided to recall some 2018 Siwei (CR-V) vehicles with 1.5T engines produced from February 14, 2017 to February 27, 2018, with a total of 130,455 vehicles.

　　The main reason for the recall is due to the design of Dongfeng Honda, which causes the engine oil level to increase when the vehicle continues to drive for a short distance in a low temperature environment. When the oil level increases to a certain extent, the engine failure indicator light will light up. If the vehicle continues to operate in this state, it may cause engine damage and pose a safety hazard.

　　After the recall, the targeted solution strategy is to replace the air conditioner Control Unit and upgrade the FI-ECU software for vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge. For models equipped with CVT gearboxes, replace the radiator sewer assembly and upgrade the TCU software at the same time to inhibit the increase of oil level and eliminate potential safety hazards. When the recall is implemented, the engine oil and oil filter will be replaced free of charge for vehicles within the scope of the recall, and the engine cleaner will be added.

　　At the same time, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine also emphasized in the announcement that Dongfeng Honda "this recall activity is carried out under the condition that the State Administration for Market Regulation has initiated a defect investigation." The specific process is that for some time, the State Administration for Market Regulation Defective Product Management Center has received complaints from consumers about this problem. After receiving the complaint, the State Administration for Market Regulation immediately deployed the Defective Product Management Center to conduct a defect investigation and evaluation on the above-mentioned problem. Affected by the investigation, Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. decided to take recall measures to eliminate safety hazards.

　　This means that Dongfeng Honda’s recall of some 2018 Siwei (CR-V) vehicles equipped with 1.5T engines was not entirely voluntary, but was carried out under the supervision and requirements of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Cases of mandatory recalls at home and abroad are not uncommon. The latest one happened to German automaker Volkswagen. According to local media reports: In October 2015, the German Ministry of Transport (KBA) rejected Volkswagen’s proposal to require diesel car owners to come voluntarily to repair their vehicles and asked Volkswagen to force a recall of 2.40 million diesel vehicles equipped with cheating software to interfere with emission tests. The Ministry of Transport will monitor the recall and pay close attention to its progress.

　　Similar to the German Ministry of Transport’s mandatory recall of auto companies, the responsible argument also appeared in the announcement issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine today. The State Administration for Market Regulation said in the announcement that it will continue to organize the defective product management center to focus on the measures taken in this recall. Supervision and evaluation, and requires Dongfeng Honda Motor Co., Ltd. to take a highly responsible attitude towards consumers, improve the recall completion rate, strengthen the monitoring of recalled vehicles, and effectively protect the rights and interests of consumers.

　　When the CR-V "throttle" broke out on a large scale in February and March this year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine interviewed Dongfeng Honda on March 1 and believed that the current recall measures proposed were not perfect, and manufacturers should further improve technical solutions, come up with practical and effective measures as soon as possible to eliminate defects. At the same time, it is recommended to take measures such as extending the quality assurance period to respond to consumer concerns.

　　Later, in order to avoid appearing at the CCTV 315 party due to the oil incident, Dongfeng Honda announced that it would suspend the sale of CR-V models with 1.5T engines. One interesting detail is that Dongfeng Honda’s new generation CR-V was listed in the TV advertisement before the official start of the 315 party. This detail was widely interpreted by the outside world as Dongfeng Honda’s public relations strategy of "spending money to ensure safety".

　　Although avoiding the front-to-front battlefield of the 315 party, CCTV’s "Weekly Quality Report" fully reported the matter in the program on April 15. At the same time, it was also revealed that some 4S stores of Dongfeng Honda did not strictly implement the manufacturer’s notice to suspend sales. In the program, a salesperson from Dongfeng Honda Beijing Four Seasons Hetong 4S store told CCTV reporters that as long as they sign a contract at the same time, "I know that Honda CRV is a prohibited model, but I fully trust Dongfeng Honda’s brand. If there is any problem, it has nothing to do with our store." Additional disclaimers can smoothly purchase CR-V 1.5T models, and "customers have signed a car purchase contract to buy cars."

　　Just three and a half hours after the announcement of the State Administration for Market Regulation Defective Product Management Center was announced, Dongfeng Honda released a "statement" on its official website and official WeChat. In the statement, Dongfeng Honda reversed its previous hard-line attitude of refusing to admit engine design problems and admitted for the first time that the 1.5T engine did have design defects, resulting in increased oil levels and possible damage to the engine, posing a safety hazard.

　　But in Dongfeng Honda’s statement, Interface Auto found two dubious provisions: First, when the recall is implemented, the owner must sign the "Dongfeng Honda Engine Extended Repair Service Certificate" (hereinafter referred to as the "Certificate") with the 4S store, but Dongfeng Honda did not publish the specific terms and content of the "Certificate" at the same time, forcing the owner to sign the "Certificate" to enjoy the recall service is rather "forced buying and selling".

　　Secondly, the fourth point of the "Statement" states that during the use of the car, if the damage caused by improper use or improper maintenance in other places does not belong to the scope of the warranty service. This clause means that all maintenance and repair of CR-V owners who have increased oil must be carried out at the authorized dealer of Dongfeng Honda during the subsequent use of the car. In other words, Dongfeng Honda has locked in the maintenance income of CR-V problem owners for at least the next five years through recall behavior, and the owner faces the risk of losing the warranty service if they maintain it outside the store.

　　At the same time, Dongfeng Honda mentioned in the "Dongfeng Honda Announces" Oil Level Elevation Solution "released on its official website on February 12 this year that the 10th generation Civic models also experienced the same oil increase problem as CR-V, and the recall is ready to be implemented in early March. However, as of press time, Dongfeng Honda has not announced the specific implementation time and steps of the 10th generation Civic recall today.

　　After the "throttle" time broke out, the sales of Dongfeng Honda CR-V inevitably suffered a huge decline. In March this year, the sales volume of a single month was only 916 units, a decrease of 93.6% compared with 2017, and rebounded slightly to 1,683 units in April. But this sales result is at a completely different level from the peak time. The fifth-generation CR-V was officially launched in July last year. Sales exceeded 15,000 units in August, 19,500 units in September, 20,200 units in October, 22,800 units in November, and 25,600 units reached an all-time high in December. In January this year, after the throttle incident broke out, it began to gradually fall back to 13,800 units, and in February, it fell to 5,900 units.
