Honda has two partners in China, GAC and Dongfeng, which makes it more willing to implement the "two-vehicle strategy" to expand its territory. However, in the category of mid-size cars, Dongfeng Honda's Yingshipai performance has always been average, and the limelight has always been covered by accords. So is this car so bad? Is it right to close your eyes and buy an Accord? Put the pair of "brothers" together today and see how to choose the most appropriate one.
In terms of appearance, although the two cars are generally relatively close in shape, the tone presented is different, and the appearance of yingshipai will look more elegant and stable, which is more suitable for the elite class wearing suits and ties. The atmosphere created by Accord is a typical young, dynamic style, which translates to "rotten boy", suitable for young consumer groups who have just come out of society and have made small achievements. So we can see that many of the Accords on the road have changed the suspension, wheels, or color. On the contrary, Yingshipai is more in its original state.
If there is a little bit of residential division outside the car, then the car will not be performed directly, and the interior of accord and Yingshipai is completely copy and paste, exactly the same. After the mid-term redesign of both models, the latest Honda Connect 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system is used, providing navigation, entertainment, intelligent voice, car home interconnection, online OTA upgrade and other functions. Although there is still a distance from the independent brand, there is still obvious progress compared with oneself.
In terms of size and size, the length, width and height of Yingshipai are 4924*1862*1449mm; the Accord is 4906*1862*1449mm, although the length of Yingshipai is more dominant, but this is more because of the difference caused by the appearance of decorative parts. Both models have a wheelbase of 2830mm, so the corresponding interior seating space is also almost the same.
In terms of power, it also offers a 1.5T fuel version and a 2.0L i-MMD hybrid combination, which takes into account fuel economy and power performance.
Since there is no high or low in terms of product strength, we may wish to judge which car is more worth starting from the cost performance level. I chose the Elite Elite Edition at $192,900 and the Accord Deluxe Edition at $192,800 for comparison.
Through comparison, it can be seen that Yingshipai provides a complete set of Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system, which can not only effectively reduce the traffic risk during driving, but also the adaptive cruise function can reduce the fatigue caused by long-distance driving. In addition, insepai near and far light are LED light sources, support adaptive near and far light and equipped with steering assist lights.
Although the Accord lacks the Honda SENSING safety supersensitive system, it supports Honda Connect 3.0, the rearview mirror power folding and the heating function.
It can be seen that in the price of the car with a gap of only 100 yuan, the two cars have chosen different selling points to attract consumers, and the Honda SENSING safety super sense system configured by Yingshipai is more suitable for some consumers who often travel to run high speeds; and the Accord that supports Honda Connect 3.0 is more suitable for young people who love driving and love technology. You can't say who's good and who's bad, it's more just different orientations. Of course, if you add 10,000 yuan to the budget on this basis, then the configuration difference between the two cars will become smaller, but I will personally recognize the Yingshipai, after all, the riding experience should be more advantageous, after all, equipped with leather seats and ventilation and heating functions.
Although the overall Yingshipai will indeed dominate in some comfort configurations, there is basically no difference in the product strength of the two cars. Therefore, consumers tend to pay more attention to popularity and inherent cognition, and at this time, the advantages of the Accord's "golden signboard" are highlighted, and the domestic career of nearly two decades makes it an evergreen tree for medium-sized cars, and the absolutely good car in the mouth of consumers. And higher visibility is bound to be more helpful for the retention rate when selling cars in the future. On the contrary, although the Yingshipai is basically the same as the Honda Accord, it has just gained Chinese name and needs more time to become a well-known excellent car.
summary
Comprehensive look down, whether it is Accord or Yingshipai, the gap between the two cars is very small, how to choose? Or according to their own needs, whether to pursue cost performance or more concerned about word of mouth.
