Exterior design
In terms of front design, after undergoing a mid-term redesign, the front face of the Honda Accord has become a little younger, and its inverted trapezoidal large-mouth grille has been continued, and the integration with the light group is more fluid; while the deflector holes on both sides of the bumper are more antagonistic, and the downward penetration is formed in the side panel of the sloping grille, and the personality recognition can be slightly improved.
In the headlight design, the LED bead particles adopt a more regular dense arrangement layout inside the lampshade, the LED daytime traveling light strip will be wrapped under it, and the high beam near the grille is a halogen light source. Part of the banner from the brand's chrome trim is inserted into the top of the headlights in a sharp style, thus forming a richer sense of layering inside and outside the light group.

In the taillight design, the C-type light belt covers both the side pillar and the tail box cover, the blackening of the edge can make it appear slender enough, and the internal turn signals, brake lights and rear fog lights will form an overlapping bar layer, which will be more personalized than the front face.

But the seats are still covered with fabric, and the steering wheel is made of plastic.

Write at the end
In the case that the entire medium-sized market has not yet ushered in independent opponents or joint venture new competitors, Honda Accord itself has the ability to maintain its competitive advantage in the market, and in the medium-term reform, GUANGQI Honda continues to increase its weight. Although the Honda Accord Hybrid 2.0L Ruiku Edition is lacking in terms of multimedia entertainment or intelligence, looking back at the vehicle's basic assisted driving, active and passive safety, and the low fuel costs brought by the i-MMD, it can still maintain its best-selling status with its comprehensiveness.
