The same door brothers in the mainland automobile market believe that there are not a few, manufacturers through the layout of the same level, the same price of more models, to enhance their own brand in the market more share, this is what we often say - the two-car strategy.
Speaking of Honda's cars, it has always had many fans. In the mid-size car market, Honda also came up with two of its own fist products, they have similar product strength and appearance, that is, Accord and Yingshipai, and then we will compare the two cars.
Appearance: Yingshi school sports introverted, Accord atmosphere and calm
From the outside, Inspida is definitely the appearance of a flagship sports sedan. The trapezoidal grille forms a symmetrical pattern, and the horizontal chrome trim strips above run through it, which is very stretched. Wing-type full LED headlights add a certain sense of sporty luxury.
The Accord adopts an inverted trapezoidal large mouth front face design, the size of the intake grille is further increased, and the same wing headlights can be integrated with the central net. In addition, the front and bottom brackets also use a new style, which looks more refined.
The sides of the two cars are highly shaped, which is simply a brother carved out of a mold. The length, width and height of Yingshipai are 4924x1862x1449mm, the wheelbase is 2830mm, the lines of the whole body are smooth and natural, the look and feel is very coordinated and stretched, introverted and not ostentatious, and the shape with the slip back and the "little ducktail" also further enhance its sporty atmosphere.
The length, width and height of the Accord is 4908x1862x1449mm, which is slightly shorter than the Yingshipai in length, the width and height are the same, and the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2830mm. The short front suspension and rounded curvature match the atmospheric front face, and the Accord business atmosphere is stronger.
Interior: The details of the Yingshipai are more exquisite and luxurious
Both cars are T-type symmetrical central control and suspension central control screen design, the size is 10.25 inches, the overall layout is almost the same, there is a certain difference in details.
The use of a large number of wood grain and leather looks quite luxurious, the seats also use black and red color block design, while the central control system has an original interconnection/mapping function on the basis of carlife, and the individual configurations have indoor environmental atmosphere lights to further enhance the sense of grade.
The leather material of accord upholstery is mainly black, the central control imitation metal glossy panel decoration, and the cup holder has no stretchable cover. The car can only be connected to carlife, and the whole series is not equipped with mood lights. The above are the differences with the Yingshi school, and the others are roughly the same.
Space: Spacious rear experience with the same wheelbase
The wheelbase level of Yingshipai 2830mm brings the spatial performance of the first echelon of the same level, especially the rear space, and the tall passengers can also sit calmly and relaxed in the rear seat, with comfortable seats and panoramic sunroofs, it can be said that riding in the rear row of Yingshipai is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment.
The space performance of accord, whether it is front and rear, can also bring consumers a comfortable riding experience, and the black seats and silver trim embellishments appear stable. The horizontal and longitudinal space in the car is still spacious, and the rear air conditioner outlet and charging interface are complete, which is still the first-class level of this level.
Configuration: Yingshipai is cost-effective, and consumers can choose and buy according to their own needs
At the technical configuration level, both the Honda CONNECT 3.0 interconnection system and the Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system are not absent in both cars. At the power level, whether it is Yingshipai or Accord, both provide fuel and hybrid power configurations. Among them, the fuel version is equipped with a 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 143 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 260 Nm, while the hybrid version is equipped with a new third-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, the maximum power is 107 kilowatts, the maximum torque is 175 Nm, and the fuel consumption of the two vehicles in the official 100 kilometers is 4.4L.
Taking the two 1.5T as an example, the low-end 179,900 Yingshipai 2022 260TURBO elegant version and the 179,800 Accord 2022 260TURBO comfort version, Yingshipai has more reversing images, The Accord side has more rearview mirror heating/folding functions, and the late installation of the reversing image is more expensive than the installation of rearview mirror heating /folding, Xiaobian believes that more than 100 yuan more than a reversing image is still very appropriate. The difference between the versions of the two cars is also the rearview mirror function and lane safety, and it is still recommended in terms of cost performance. With the same function as the rearview mirrors and the front seats, it is still very cost-effective to add in-car mood lights and comfortable driving mode. Then, the hybrid version of the same as above, the two cars are also between the price difference, the configuration of the trade-off.
Summary: In summary, although the manufacturers are different, the similarity between the two brothers of Yingshipai and Accord is still very high. However, in the details of the configuration, the difference between the two still exists. Compared with Accord, Yingshipai may have greater discounts in the market terminal and higher cost performance; compared with Yingshipai, Accord has accumulated better reputation over the years, the market recognition is very high, and the amount of ownership is also greater. However, in terms of luxury pedigree, Yingshipai is still more inclined to Honda's own luxury brand Acura in terms of product positioning.
