The three trump cards of the new Accord "easy to open, intelligent and stable running" are in hand, and the same price of oil and electricity is very real
Compared with the "weather forecasting" publicity strategy of the new forces of car manufacturing, the relatively "restrained" old manufacturers focus on using products to effectively solve the pain points of users. Obviously, the former is to obtain the market in the current "involution", while the latter must strive for excellence in the product to be worthy of sales. For example, the 11th generation of the new Accord, which has attracted much attention just after its launch, attracts attention not only because of its advantageous price of "oil and electricity at the same price", but also because it optimizes the experience needs of "easy to open", "intelligent" and "stable running". As the flag bearer of the domestic B-class head camp, the new Accord's upward leap is solid and eye-catching.
"Oil and electricity at the same price" no pressure, Rui · The T motion and e:PHEV series have their own interpretations of cost performance
"The same price of oil and electricity" is not a new word, this is the bridgehead of the title of "volume king" of independent brands competing for the title of "volume king" in the current "inner volume", which is also a marketing strategy that consumers buy very much. In this context, Guangqi Honda, as a joint venture brand, also did not disappoint users, and it brought the sales model of "oil and electricity at the same price" to the new Accord, which made people sigh at the "real fragrance" of the new Accord. After all, hybrid models with higher technical requirements and an additional internal combustion engine system can achieve the "same price of oil and electricity", and their gold content is much higher than the former.
On May 20, the 11th generation of the new Accord was officially launched in Xiamen. Choosing to land on the market in such a beautiful city, the new Accord also brings beautiful prices in return. The all-new Accord covers fuel and e:PHEV strong electric and intelligent hybrid power, a total of 7 versions, and the guidance price range is 179,800-258,800 yuan.
At the same time, due to the pricing strategy of the new Accord "oil and electricity at the same price", Rui · The price of the T-powered model will coincide with that of the e:PHEV hybrid model. Among them, the traditional fuel-powered Rui · T models, with a price advantage starting from 179,800 yuan, undoubtedly played a role in lowering the entry threshold. By comparison, it is not difficult to find that Magotan is also from the joint venture B-class head camp, and the entry guidance price is 186,900 yuan. Compared with the comparable price Camry entry-level model, the new Accord has more comprehensive safety and technology configurations, and can also bring the turbocharged engine favored by users, which highlights the Rui · The T series pursues the cost-effective side.
Of course, because the new Accord has the price attribute of "the same price for oil and electricity", I actually recommend users in first- and second-tier cities to choose the e:PHEV series of models with strong electric intelligent hybrid. Thanks to the advantages of new energy policies, the new Accord e:PHEV series will meet the green plate and purchase tax-free policy, which is definitely good news for car owners.
Secondly, the e:PHEV series is equipped with Honda's latest fourth-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, which can bring three drive modes: pure electric, hybrid, and engine direct drive, which can not only bring users a more powerful power experience, but also release comfortable and energy-saving user benefits.
From this point of view, the new Accord e:PHEV series first releases a friendly price signal through the "same price for fuel and electricity", and the fourth-generation i-MMD system brings it low-consumption and efficient driving quality, which is an important part of building its cost performance. In addition, the more important reason why I first recommend the new Accord e:PHEV series is due to the "price-price ratio" brought about by its comprehensive product strength.
For this fledgling concept, how does the new Accord e:PHEV series show? Let's take a look together.
Equipped with the fourth-generation i-MMD system, dual motors, large battery, pluggable power
There is no doubt that the i-MMD system is the crystallization of Honda's more than 20 years of research and development of electrification systems, this mature and stable architecture form has made great contributions to the expansion of Honda's hybrid family, and because of the epoch-making characteristics of the early i-MMD system, it has been used as a research and development model by many manufacturers, so the system is also enlightening for the global development of hybrid technology.
The fourth-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system on the 11th-generation Accord e:PHEV is a qualitative improvement over the past. It is a plug-in hybrid system composed of a new 2.0L high-efficiency direct-injection Atkinson engine and a new three-electric technology, and the biggest improvement of the fourth-generation i-MMD is the three words of "fast, provincial and stable".
The fourth-generation system continues the technical characteristics of the i-MMD architecture "multi-use electricity". In the initial stage, the more efficient and torque electric system will be the first to attack, and the E-CVT dual-motor transmission and PCU power density output control unit will instantly bring a peak torque of 335 Nm. More importantly, the peak performance comparable to the "V6" engine will come quietly like a pure electric model, neither the roar and vibration of the engine, nor the constraints of the working conditions in the low torsion range, and the push back feeling is on call.
What makes the pure electric model envious is that after the vehicle comes to the high-speed stage, because the electric motor will enter a weak period, the internal combustion engine equipped with the new Accord e:PHEV will gradually take over the power output, and the switch between the two output modes will smoothly switch during the user's continuous pedal pedal without any frustration. At the same time, the direct injection Atkinson engine has a maximum thermal efficiency of 41%, which has higher performance and lower fuel consumption than ordinary fuel models. Even in low-power mode, fuel consumption can reach 4L/100km, which is difficult for ordinary fuel models to achieve.
Of course, if the new Accord is only a short commute, I recommend that you keep the pure electric mode on. The new battery capacity of the fourth-generation i-MMD system reaches 17.7kWh, which can provide the vehicle with a NEDC pure electric range of 106 kilometers.
The "electric-based" hybrid characteristics of the i-MMD system naturally bring quiet and comfortable driving characteristics. At the same time, due to the fact that the weight/volume of the IPU power battery is reduced by more than 50%, the cabin space can be further released. At the same time, thanks to the ADS adaptive damping system's effective shock filtering on bumpy roads, the driving experience brought by the new Accord e:PHEV series is undoubtedly easy to drive, fuel efficient and stable to run.
Technology takes safety as the core, and there should be all of them in four-screen linkage
We often use the term "stacking" to describe the technological configuration of today's cars, but the problems and thoughts caused by "stacking" have gradually surfaced. There are more and more bells and whistles in the car, all kinds of unimaginable functions fill your cockpit, how much can you use for the complex and redundant configuration of the car? And how much does it cost to do this?
After witnessing the deviation of "stacking materials", more and more manufacturers are gradually turning the head of the car and beginning to rethink user experience and product ideas. Objectively speaking, Guangqi Honda is a representative of the rational school.
The all-new Accord, equipped with Honda CONNECT 4.0, is mainly guided by safety CONNECT, and first brings the DMC driver status awareness system.
Different from the driving behavior monitoring system on traditional models, it can only identify driver fatigue and concentration state, and it can also monitor and assist AI for the driver's dangerous driving posture and driver emotions. These are two small features that are rarer but useful. Driving with a mobile phone is a habit that urban people are difficult to "correct", and common systems generally acquiesce to this behavior, but the new Accord's DMC system is by no means "tolerated". When the system detects that the user is on a call, the voice assistant reminds the driver not to drive to make the call. Of course, when the user smokes while driving, the system will also ask the user if he needs to open the window, and the system will automatically open the window for the user after permission.
The driver also has insurmountable road rage, and the DMC system will also provide a soothing intervention. After the system finds that the driver's expression is gradually dignified, the voice system will actively ask the driver and play a joke for him. Similarly, when we're overjoyed, the system will play you a piece of music to enhance the atmosphere after the inquiry is approved.
When traveling with the whole family, the rear guard system provided by the vehicle can check the rear seat through the camera, whether it is the elderly in the rear seat or the lively bear child, the front seat user can monitor the driving state at any time.
In terms of intelligent interaction, the all-new Accord provides a 10.2-inch instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch center control screen, an 11.5-inch HUD head-up display and streaming mirrors, forming a "four-screen linkage". At the same time, the camera in front of the driver's seat can perform face recognition, and the vehicle system can automatically release user settings after getting into the car. At the same time, face recognition is also the only key to the exclusive system of the vehicle, and different users will obtain their own use segments, forming privacy barriers and ensuring the safety of use.
Run fast, you must run steadily, and the active and passive systems are armed to the teeth
Safety has always been one of the considerations for high-end cars, and with the iterative upgrading of automotive technology, in addition to traditional passive safety, the active safety brought by intelligent driving systems should also attract the attention of users.
The all-new Accord is equipped with the latest Honda SENSING 360 safety system. The vehicle will be equipped with more than 10 road condition collectors, including 5 millimeter-wave radars + 6 sonar sensors + front camera, as the hardware basis of the system. Thanks to this, the vehicle can provide a number of functions such as LKAS lane keeping, ALCA lane change intelligent driving, ALCA lane change intelligent driving, etc., on the one hand, effectively reducing the probability of danger, on the other hand, making driving easier.
For people living in the city, the system offers two highlights worth mentioning, namely FCTW Traverse Prophet and LCCM Lane Change Defender. Even experienced drivers cannot avoid blind spots, and when the driver's view is obstructed, the FCTW function detects that an object is passing through and there may be a potential risk of collision, and it will sound to attract the driver's attention. This function can detect passing objects within 90km/h of speed to predict it; When parallel operation, turn on the turn signal to change lanes, because the line of sight is often obstructed, the user observation side and rear traffic is often not timely, so the danger occurs. Other model systems can only remind the user of a car coming from behind through lights, while the LCCM function can not only issue a prompt when detecting a car behind it, but also assist in controlling the steering wheel to avoid and terminate the sideline operation.
In terms of passive safety, the all-new Accord adopts Honda Architecture's new architecture sports body, which uses a large amount of hot stamping steel and ultra-high-strength steel to improve the torsional rigidity and bending rigidity of the body. At the same time, it inherits Honda's unique ACE load-bearing body structure, which can absorb and disperse energy in the event of a collision, which can enhance the protection of pedestrians to a certain extent.
Summary:
Accord is undoubtedly a product that Guangqi Honda has devoted its heart to, and successive generations of Accord have absolute say in the domestic high-end B-class market, regardless of word of mouth or product quality. Even so, the eleventh generation Accord, which chose to be born in the era of "inner roll", is bound to be fully prepared, and it first lowers the entry threshold through the layout form of "oil and electricity at the same price"; At the same time, the e:PHEV model with the blessing of the fourth-generation i-MMD system shows the brand's leading stance in the electrification of mid-to-high-end cars. If you use one sentence as a summary of the new Accord, it is: if you want a mid-to-high-end car with a good reputation, please take a look at the Accord; If you want a B-segment car from the head joint venture brand, check out the all-new Accord; If you want an economical, easy-to-open, intelligent and stable strong electric intelligent hybrid model, the new Accord e:PHEV is also worth choosing.
