Guangqi Honda Accord has a new dynamic, the car did not launch the 2024 model, but added two new options to the 2023 model, and the plug-in hybrid version added a new version, let's take a look at the price difference between the two series of the fuel version.
- The original version, 17.98, 19.68, 21.38, 228,800 yuan
- The new version, 197,800, 214,800 yuan
The new editions are named Deluxe Edition and Premium Edition, and should be a supplementary version from the price point of view.
The engine still uses 1.5T, the gearbox is of course CVT, and the power parameters are 141kW/260N·m, which is exactly the same as the original version;
There is no change in appearance, although this generation of Honda Accord has the most controversy about the appearance, but it still has a good sales performance under the premise of greater terminal discounts, so it should not be replaced in the short term.
How much discount is appropriate for the new version?
Recent statistics show that the Honda Accord terminal discount range is up to 53,000 yuan, but in most areas it is still about 40,000 yuan, so the actual starting price of this car has been as low as 140,000 yuan, and all versions are within 200,000 yuan. The new version does not have any improvements in design, power or configuration, so the discount margin of the two versions will inevitably be comparable to the previous version.
The actual starting price of the new version may be around 160,000 yuan, and the Accord has almost sunk to the edge of the mid-range sedan price band.
A new version has been added to the plug-in hybrid version, and the price difference is as follows.
- The original version, 225,800, 238,800, 258,800 yuan
- New version, 226,800 yuan
The new version is named Deluxe Edition.
This version is also only a change in configuration, and it is also a low-standard version with no reversing radar and only reversing rearview, but there is a less comprehensive L2 driver assistance system.
The price of the plug-in hybrid version is not recommended to consider, first of all, the pure electric range of the car is only 82 kilometers (WLTC working condition), and the pure electric mileage of domestic cars with comparable prices is generally more than 100 kilometers, and the highest can exceed 200 kilometers, and it is also the standard of the same working conditions. The customary mode of using a plug-in hybrid car is "you can use electricity without gas", and the cost of charging and driving is much lower than that of a hybrid mode, so a longer pure electric range will be more attractive, and vice versa is not recommended.
Secondly, the drive platform used by the car is still front-wheel drive, and most of the cars in the same class are rear-wheel drive or dual-motor four-wheel drive, and the Accord plug-in hybrid version is also at a low level in terms of performance and handling. As a result, sales of the Honda Accord plug-in hybrid are very low, with only 954 units sold in December 2023 and only 4,365 units sold for the year.
Epilogue:
The new version of the Honda Accord is mainly used to enrich the product line, and the new version has not been upgraded, and the Accord is still an Accord;So the Accord must have a high enough terminal discount, after all, the current joint venture brand is equipped with 2.0T&9AT/7DCT sedans of the same level are getting cheaper and cheaper, among which the threshold price of Chevrolet Malibu XL 2.0T has been as low as 130,000 levels, even if the brand is highly recognized Volkswagen Passat 2.0T The threshold price of 330TSI is also as low as about 150,000 yuan, and the pressure on the Accord with small displacement and continuously variable transmission will increase.
