Recently, the new Accord model in Japan was exposed, the new car is called Xianglong Limited Edition, from the theme of building, using the more popular "Year of the Dragon" main body this year, the new car mainly adds "dragon" elements on the basis of the regular version, such as the C-pillar dragon logo and custom wheels.
In addition, a more special place is that the new car will be an exclusive model of the three provinces of Guangdong, Guizhou and Qiong, and it is estimated that it will not be available elsewhere. In addition, Honda will also bring a facelifted version of the Accord this year, returning to the 2.0L petrol-electric hybrid version.
Let's take a look at the Accord Xianglong version first, as a limited model, it obviously will not gather a large amount of pressure, and it can "fly" itself like the name of the car. Judging from the recently exposed real cars, the new car is based on the conventional model, and the black warrior paint is changed, and the aura is significantly enhanced. The change is that the hubcap and C-pillar area have been added with a themed faucet logo. The changes to the interior of the car are not yet clear, but according to the convention, it is expected that the center console and seats will also add a Year of the Dragon-themed print or embroidery, echoing the Black Warrior Tiguan, and the interior of the car should use black tones.
Seeing that the car is exclusive to Guiqiong Three Provinces, it is inevitable that it will be a little uncomfortable at first, but in fact, there is no need. Not a big change from the regular version. In terms of power, the new car has been the same as the current model, with a 2.0L plug-in hybrid version on top, with a 109 kW engine and a 135 kW motor, with a pure electric range of 82 kilometers. The petrol version uses a 1.5T engine with a burst of 141 kW. Among the models in the same class, the power of the Accord is obviously not advantageous compared with cars such as Xiaomi SU7 and Zhijie S7.
In addition, it is necessary to mention the new Accord, as a facelift, the core product power will not change much, and the more important thing is that it will return to the 2.0L petrol-electric hybrid system, which is the main model of the new Accord. In this way, the Accord has also formed three power layouts, which are basically borrowed from the new Camry.
However, from the perspective of the market, the Camry was not successful after the replacement, taking March sales as an example, the Camry ranked 9th among the midsize sedans, the Accord ranked 8th by a small margin, and the first place was the unexpected Passat, which returned to the top after the collision incident.
In terms of intelligence, the new Accord will use Honda's official announcement last year Honda360+ intelligent driving, which is essentially an ordinary L2 intelligent driving, the main opponent Volkswagen will use DJI intelligent driving in the replacement of the Passat, Camry will also cooperate with Huawei intelligent driving, and Honda is once again one step behind in this area. Overall, the new Camry may be more difficult than the Passat if it wants to return to the top.
