Honda e:NP2 Jipai 2 2024
【Driving Experience】The JiPai 2 uses a 150kW single motor, with torque reaching 310N·m, comparable to a low-power 2.0T level, paired with a 68.8 kWh ternary lithium battery, providing a CLTC pure electric range of 545 kilometers. In standard mode, the power output is relatively gentle, but sustained output in the later stages can achieve a smooth, linear acceleration expectation. In sport mode, the power output response is enhanced, but the overall pedal damping feel is quite pronounced, meaning a slight press won't immediately boost the power. The braking is well-tuned, with energy recovery linked only to sport mode; in this mode, releasing the pedal results in a relatively noticeable deceleration, whereas in standard and eco modes, a good coasting feel is maintained. Regarding brake calibration, the brake sensitivity is quite high, achieving 0.2G and 0.6G deceleration with relatively little force, and throughout the process, energy recovery and hydraulic braking work in coordination. Overall, the driving experience is fairly comfortable, and the steering effort settings are very handy, making driving in the city feel quite comfortable.
【Seating Experience】The seat back has two adjustable levels, with an overall angle of 5.5 degrees, allowing for more flexible seating. The rear seat, like in other electric cars, has a slightly lower H-point, creating about a two-finger gap when seated upright, but this doesn't have much impact. The rear seat comfort is well designed, with very soft seat padding, especially including the center armrest in the rear, which is also extremely soft, making it very suitable for short trips.
