Many people say that this era is very fast, and the speed of product change is undoubtedly the best proof of this statement. For example, if you have just bought a new mobile phone, you will find that soon after there will be an updated model, according to the current flagship update rate of mainstream manufacturers, one year has been a relatively long time, and even many manufacturers will launch more advanced products after a few months. And this is no way to do things, the global environment is the same, keep pace with the times is the key to maintaining product competitiveness, if it is not a new year, any product can not guarantee the existing status, the automotive industry is even more so, in the early years by the big change, now small changes have to be full of surprises.
Today we will talk about the Honda Accord, this model is one of the world's most classic cars, has now developed to the tenth generation, and each generation of models has achieved quite excellent results. For example, the tenth generation version, as the first domestic and synchronized with the world's B-class car, in the 3 years of listing has achieved a cumulative sales of more than 600,000 good results, looking at the same level is naturally called the forefront, especially after the mid-term redesign, Accord sales have risen all the way. In March this year, the car sold more than 20,000 units, and the cumulative sales of more than 54,000 units in January-March, far better than old rivals such as Maiteng and Passat, so today find a new Accord real car to see what upgrades it has, so consumers are so obsessed.
The 2022 Accord models currently on sale are medium-term overhauls, with minor adjustments in appearance and power, and more for configuration upgrades. But don't underestimate this small adjustment, for the change of the temperament of the whole vehicle is still very helpful, such as the front part, the net area compared to the old model to further improve, like the new phantom night version of the model also has some more sports kits, the headlight group inside the integration of black elements, while the headlight group is also upgraded to a full LED light source, finally avoiding the embarrassment of the previous high beam halogen. At the front logo, the hybrid version of the real-time model also adds blue elements to embellish, indicating the identity and slightly more exquisite.
As a standard joint venture B-class car, the Accord size has not been the best in the same class, but it has definitely reached the mainstream level. The 4908 (4906)*1862*1449mm of length, width and height and 2830mm wheelbase are no weaker than the competitors, which is enough to meet the various needs of space, while bringing a slender and coordinated visual effect. From the side of the body, the sneakback roof is undoubtedly the biggest highlight, bringing a strong coupe model, which is also one of the reasons why most young consumers like it, which is more handsome than German and American competitors. Like this makeover, the new car is also equipped with a new style of 18-inch sports rims, which are just as visually stunning.
The tail design changes are not too big, and the front face is the same for details, such as the tail light group shape to improve the internal structure. The biggest change is the use of full LED light source, optical fiber LED light group is naturally more delicate and fashionable than the old halogen, turn signals are also upgraded to flowing water, the effect of lighting needless to say. The other parts are rear-enclosed, and the hybrid version also adopts a sporty wing fin shape, but the real exhaust port is single out, which is more dynamic at first glance.
Sitting in the car, the change is also very subtle, but the subtleties are also where the old models yearn, not to mention that the old models have such a big change in hearing about the new model listing, and regret it. First of all, the center console, can you see the difference? The central control screen area is less mechanical buttons and knobs, and the size of the central control screen has reached 10.25 inches, the built-in Honda CONNECT 3.0 system, from the UI interface to the functional experience has been comprehensively improved, this time with the 7-inch LCD instrument, the sense of science and technology is naturally no problem, the real shot of this top version and the HUD head-up display system. Of course, the night version of the model will also use red and black interior colors to further highlight its sporty positioning.
Other functional configuration upgrades are not more and no less, mainly because the car machine system brings more interconnection experience, which makes up for the shortcomings of the previous old model. Like the safety configuration has always been quite complete, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, active braking, full speed adaptive cruise and other functions in addition to the low configuration are equipped, the top version also has panoramic image, automatic parking and other functions, enough to meet the needs of daily urban or high-speed driving. The comfort features wireless front phone charging, active noise cancellation, leather seats supporting multi-directional electric adjustment, and front seat heating, ventilation and rear seat heating, except for no mood lights and branded audio, there are almost no slots.
The ride is still the same as before, and the Accord has always maintained the mainstream level because of its good size. Like the front seat design is wide and thick, it is very friendly to friends with strong physiques, support and wrapping are no problem, and the test driver is 1.8 meters tall, and the adjusted sitting posture can reach a punch. At this time into the second row, the seat also has no short board, at this time the leg space can also reach more than two fists, more suitable for long-distance rides, a family of four travel is naturally enough.
Finally looking at the power, the current 2022 Accord is still a hybrid system composed of 1.5T and 2.0L + motors, if the budget is enough, it is recommended to choose the hybrid version, because the performance is better and the fuel consumption is lower. From the parameter point of view, the hybrid version of the engine maximum power of 107kW, the maximum torque of 175N·m, while the motor can provide 135kW maximum power and 315N·m maximum torque, combined to comparable to 2.0T high-power turbine power, 100 km acceleration in about 8 seconds. The key is to start smoothly and quietly, which cannot be compared with fuel models, coupled with the comprehensive fuel consumption control in the urban area is about 5L, and the economy is also quite excellent.
Summary: The Tenth Generation Accord is the peak moment after its introduction into the domestic market, which shows that the product strength is indeed excellent, otherwise how can consumers choose it among many competitors? Now the mid-term revamp has once again improved the short board, perhaps not very friendly to the old owner who picked up the car soon, but for the friends who are about to buy a car, everything is just right, the price is not the same as the configuration is high, does not mean that the cost performance has increased? Therefore, this new Accord has been favored by more young consumers, and I believe that it will achieve better results in the future.
