In the domestic mid-size car market, the Honda Accord is definitely a "no worries" model. In 2021, accord's cumulative sales will be close to 210,000 vehicles, second only to the "sales champion" Camry. However, by understanding the user's evaluation of this car, the author found that the advantages of the Accord are not only as simple as the high retention rate, such as the appearance, interior, space, including power and driving performance, which make consumers praise. Is this touting or is it true? Let's analyze the Accord from multiple angles to see if this car is so good!
For models at this level, consumers still pay more attention to price. First of all, the price of the Accord is 16.98-25.98 million yuan, if compared with the Camry, Tianlai, the price of the Accord is just in the middle, but compared to these two models, the Accord has obvious advantages in terms of power, the 1.5T engine equipped is a high-power version, which is not at all comparable to the 2.0L self-priming.
The model in the picture is the 2022 260TURBO Phantom Night Edition, as can be seen from the picture, the front face shape of the Accord reveals a strong sports atmosphere. Compared with the ordinary version, the gray chrome trim strip of the front face gun with the bright color of the middle net, coupled with the LED light group in the shape of arrow feathers, looks not only young and dynamic, but also has a strong sense of visual technology. Coming to the side of the body, you can see that the waist line is straight and smooth, the tail roof adopts a slippery back design, and the appearance of the wheel hub is a double color painting, which further enhances the sporty atmosphere of the appearance. The change of the tail lamp is the most obvious, from the original granular shape to the lamp strip, while the appearance has been blackened, and the lighting effect is more textured.
Inside the car, the interior of the Accord reveals a strong sense of business. The dashboard and center console are still familiar layout styles, while the texture of the interior materials is relatively general, except for the parts that are in contact with the body are soft materials, and other parts are made of hard plastic. Although accord is not equipped with a full LCD dashboard, the functions displayed are relatively rich through the combination of LCD screen and mechanical pointer instrument. Compared with the old model, the current Accord has also updated the car machine system, not only the screen size is larger (10.25 inches), but also the car machine system supports the Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, online navigation, and supports Baidu CarLife mobile phone interconnection, which is more in line with the public's car habits.
As a medium-sized sedan, the Body Size of the Accord is advantageous in the same market, with a length, width and height of 4906/1862/1449mm and a wheelbase of 2830mm. Taking my height of 1.78 meters as an example, sitting in the back row leg space is close to three punches, and the head space is close to one punch, which has a large advantage over the camry's back row. However, accord does not provide the boss key like the competitors, and even the heating and ventilation function of the front seats is only available in high-end models; compared with the competitors, the overall configuration level of the Accord is relatively average. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the entry-level minimum version, the other versions of the front window are double-layer laminated glass, and are equipped with ANC active noise reduction function, which is a significant improvement in sound insulation.
In addition to honda has the title of "space magician", "buying an engine to send a car" also shows that Honda cars have excellent mechanical qualities. This 1.5T engine has a wide range of applications, and haoying and guandao are equipped. The engine has a maximum power of 143 kW (194 Ps) and a maximum torque of 260 N·m, which is mated to a CVT stepless transmission. The measured acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 8.28 seconds, which is not inferior to the low-power 2.0T engine. Compared with the competitor models using AT or dual-clutch transmissions, the power system equipped by the Accord is relatively smooth at low speed, the engine can burst out maximum torque at 1600 rpm, and the power release can be felt by tapping the throttle, and the acceleration overtaking is more confident. NeDC has a combined fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km, and it is also possible to use No. 92 "coarse grains".
In summary, in fact, the Accord car can be sold in the domestic market for many years, naturally inseparable from excellent product strength. The mainstream of car purchases in the market is mostly young people, and Accord adjusts the appearance early to visually cater to the aesthetics of young users. Although the interior style is somewhat dull, the seating space has obvious advantages in the same market, but the comfort configuration is relatively scarce. The power system equipped with it is not only powered, low fuel consumption is also worry-free, paying attention to fuel economy and also providing hybrid version options, coupled with the accumulated product reputation, Accord will be a "no worries about selling" model no matter how it is remodeled.
