Before I drove the vehicle is Volkswagen Bora, 1.6L + 6AT, due to the small population at home, only me and my wife two people, there is no sense of volkswagen Bora what is wrong, our car working conditions are very simple, go out to play, shopping mall shopping, the most frequently used two seats are the "main co-pilot seat", I also did not feel that The Bora car has any sense of crowding, but with the birth of the child, gradually found that the space of The Bora car is somewhat insufficient, Today's children like to stand in the back row, and the back space of a compact model like Bora is limited, and because of this, we intend to replace the vehicle, and the target model is the 200,000-class B-class car.
We looked at the B-class cars that sold relatively well on the market, Maiten, Passat, Accord, Camry, Sonata 10, Regal, Kia K5 and other models, to be honest, really want to buy Volkswagen Maiten or Passat, Volkswagen models are very commercial, the appearance and interior meet personal aesthetic needs, but considering the volkswagen Passat collision accident, hesitate to give up; Toyota Camry uses a self-priming engine, high fuel consumption, weak power, in contrast, the cost performance is not high; after comprehensive comparison, Target models are locked in the Honda Accord and Kia K5.
My wife is keen to buy the Honda Accord, the appearance is fashionable, young sports, coupled with a slash of the salesman, the market ownership rate is high, the vehicle retention rate is high, my wife is eager to pay for it immediately, but I looked at the Kia K5, this car seems to be good, the cost performance is superior to the Accord, the power is stronger than the Accord, its appearance is not as aggressive as the Accord, but it is very attractive. I made a comprehensive comparison, or the Kia K5 is more cost-effective.
Vehicle space and interior
When we buy a car, the most concerned is the vehicle space, and the space of the Accord and the K5 is not much different, but it is enough to meet our daily household needs. The length, width and height of the Accord vehicle is 4906 * 1862 * 1449mm, the length and width of the Kia K5 is 4980 * 1860 * 1445mm, on the whole, both cars are extremely slender, the fluid style is outstanding, running on the street, the recognition is very high, the Accord is cool, the Kia K5 is not conventional, I think, in terms of vehicle space and styling, Kia K5 and Honda Accord can be said to be five or five.
For the interior of the vehicle, I think the Honda Accord is a work from 5 years ago, its interior is decent, the central control screen uses a suspension screen, 10.25 inches, the touch of each button in the central control position is very cheap, and the central control of the Kia K5 gives people a refreshing feeling, the central control and the dashboard use an integrated one-piece screen, which has the same magic as Mercedes-Benz, the interior layout is reasonable, the styling design is high-end, and the Kia K5 is better than the Honda Accord in the performance of the interior.
Vehicle powertrain
With a budget of 200,000, what kind of Accord can I buy, what kind of Kia K5? Accord 1.5T+ CVT high-power version model 2022 260TURBO luxury version, Kia K5 top model 2.0T+8AT 380T GT-Line flagship version. Overall, Kia's configuration is richer and more cost-effective. Let's compare the most core components, the engine and the transmission.
When it comes to the vehicle's powertrain, there is definitely a difference between the two cars. Accord uses a 1.5T +CVT powertrain, the 1.5T engine is the Honda Earth Dream engine, the maximum torque of the engine is 260Nm/1600~5000rpm, and the maximum power is 194Ps/5500rpm. Honda 1.5T engine explosive force is very strong, the throttle is followed, the sense of acceleration is highlighted instantly, this is a place worthy of praise for it; because the Accord matches the CVT transmission, so the Driving Sense of the Accord is very smooth, if you ignore the impact of engine noise on the owner, its driving sense is no different from the new energy vehicle, but the durability and stability of the CVT transmission is far less than the AT transmission, which is also considered the disadvantage of the Accord.
The Kia K5 uses modern top-notch powertrains, 2.0T+8AT. Kia's 2.0T engine is only used in models with slightly higher grades, such as the original KX7, as well as hyundai Shengda and other models, the maximum torque of the engine is 353Nm/1500~4000rpm, the maximum power is 240PS/6000rpm, it is not difficult to see, Kia 2.0T engine performance is better than honda 1.5T; Kia's 8AT transmission, its sense of shifting is very smooth, the sense of downshift is very positive, coupled with better durability and stability, which is CVT transmission can not be compared, it can be said that 8AT is the favorite of Chinese car owners.
Vehicle chassis system and driving texture
For the vehicle's chassis system, driving texture, steering steering texture, I think at my current level, I can't feel the difference between kia K5 and Honda Accord, their driving experience is much better than the current Bora, the car quietness is excellent, the steering wheel steering texture is calm, the driving texture is solid and reliable, as long as the durability and stability are no problem, the chassis system is OK.
Although accord sales are high, high sales do not mean high quality, and in my personal comparison, kia K5 seems to be slightly better. The next step is to persuade the wife to give up the Accord and buy the Kia K5, I don't know if there is a problem? Welcome netizens to help me come up with ideas!
