Honda's "trump card"! Large space B-class car, monthly sales of 25,000 units, fell to 130,000, still look at Camry?
Last year, a joint venture B-segment car came out of the circle, with sales exceeding 25,000 units. You must know that in the field of B-class cars, such results are obviously very good, and it is a new model that has only been on the market for about half a year, and this model is the Honda Accord.
In May last year, the 11th-generation Honda Accord officially came to us, and there were only two powertrains when it was launched, one was a plug-in hybrid, and the other was a 1.5T+CVT continuously variable transmission. These two powertrains are not mainstream, and the 2.0L petrol-electric hybrid system has not appeared on the 10th generation Accord, so many consumers are not optimistic. Many people feel insincere, the 11th-generation Honda Accord 1.5T belongs to the entry-level power, but I didn't expect the sales of the Honda Accord to break through a new high at the end of last year.
A closer look will find that most of the sales are actually contributed by the 10th-generation Honda Accord, that is to say, the 11th-generation Accord is on the market, but the old model has not been discontinued, and it still exerts residual heat. The main force of sales this time is the old model.
The 10th-generation Accord and the 11th-generation Accord, their manufacturer's guide price is 169,800-259,800, and the lowest price after the discount is less than 140,000. It is worth mentioning that the 10th-generation Accord has also begun to discount, but the discount range is relatively small, around 10,000 yuan.
In terms of powertrain, there is not much difference between the powertrain of the new and old Honda Accord 1.5T, both of which are 1.5T plus CVT continuously variable transmission. The maximum power of the old Accord reached 143kW, but the new Accord has reduced the power to 141kW and the torque is 260Nm considering fuel consumption and emission issues. Some people describe the 11th-generation Accord as an old cucumber painted with green paint - pretending to be tender, and this is the reason. The powertrain of the two new cars is the same, and even the tuning is based on comfort, and there are not many differences. In fact, with the rapid development of electric vehicles today, it is impossible for the power system of fuel vehicles to develop by leaps and bounds.
The exterior design of the 11th-generation Honda Accord is based on the North American prototype, and adopts a large number of flat styles, not only the air intake grille, but also the headlights and roof are flattened. The smoothness of the tail is better than that of the 10th-generation Accord, which is not only equipped with a sports rear wing, but also has a through-type taillight design, which is very technological.
Although it has evolved to the 11th generation, there is one thing to say, the sense of technology in the interior is still average. For example, although the size of the driving computer screen has reached 10.2 inches, it has been upgraded significantly compared with the old 7 inches, but the thick bezel does not seem to have much sense of technology. The driving computer screen has been upgraded from the previous 10.25 inches to the standard 12.3 inches of the whole system, with mobile phone interconnection, voice recognition control system, and the vehicle is also equipped with active noise reduction function, the sense of science and technology has been improved, and the quietness in the car has also been upgraded.
One thing to say, the 11th generation Accord has been upgraded in all aspects, whether it is the network connection system or the intelligent assisted driving system, and even the sense of technology in the car is much better than the Times Accord. But it is undeniable that consumers are still rushing to buy Honda Accord at a low price, so the sales of Honda Accord skyrocketed last year. However, as the timeline lengthens, the 10th-generation Honda Accord is bound to be discontinued, and if the 11th-generation Accord cannot become a sales leader, it will be very dangerous for Honda. The 11th-generation Honda Accord has just been on the market, and it is unlikely that there will be a large-scale upgrade and facelift, and there is only one way to go for the 11th-generation Accord in the future, which is to go at the same price as the 10th-generation Accord.
