The Honda Accord was a successful model, and at a time when mid-size sedans were just becoming popular, the Accord with its youthful exterior design showed its strengths. Especially for young families, a car can meet the needs of a family, and in the impression of many people, the biggest selling point of Honda is "buy an engine and send a car", the engine and transmission system failure rate is low, and the fuel economy is also good, so for a long time in the past, Honda Accord has maintained the image of "iron rooster", there are almost no terminal discounts, and the value retention rate is close to Toyota Camry.
But now, under the "price offensive" of domestic new energy vehicles, Honda Accord can't bear it, and even with Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Passat there are large discounts in the terminal. Among them, the discount of Accord often exceeds more than 40,000 yuan, and in some areas, there are car purchase cases with a full cash discount of 50,000 yuan. (The price information is for reference only, and the actual preferential situation is subject to the quotation of local dealers)
Under such a price situation, the starting price of Honda's new Accord has dropped to the range of 150,000 yuan, so is the Accord still worthy of being placed in the first choice for home use? Perhaps through the analysis of product strength, we can find some answers.
The exterior of the Honda Accord is a mix of stylish and sporty elements. The hexagonal front grille at the front is combined with a narrow and flat headlight cluster to create a sleek and dynamic visual effect. The sleek and sporty side lines of the body are complemented by a fastback design and newly designed wheels that enhance the car's sporty look. At the rear, the taillights of the new Accord have a unique shape, narrow and sharp, creating a similar through-style effect, which complements the shape of the small slip-back and strengthens the overall sporty style.
In terms of size, the current Accord is nearly 5 meters long and has a wheelbase of 2830mm, compared with the old model, the length of the new car has increased, while the wheelbase remains the same, which although it improves the sense of streamlining of the vehicle, but does not bring better space comfort to the new car. For reference, my height is 1.81 meters, and after adjusting the front seats of this car to a comfortable sitting position, the legroom in the second row is about two fists, and the headroom is left with three fingers, and the space performance is decent, and it does not exceed my expectations. But for prospective owners who are in contact with the Accord for the first time, in fact, this space performance is enough for home use, and the overall level is maintained.
It is also worth noting that the seat design of the new Accord focuses on comfort and support, and some models also provide 8-way power-adjustable driver's seats, heated front seats and other configurations to enhance the riding experience. In terms of interior materials, the new car uses soft fabrics with a softer touch, and the color matching is decent, but under the embellishment of local chrome decorations, with through-type air conditioning outlets, suspended central control screens, and LCD round screens, the interior is much more refined than the old model. In addition, the interior of the car is also equipped with changeable ambient lighting, which further enhances the sense of luxury and technology in the interior.
In terms of configuration, the Accord is equipped with Honda SENSING intelligent driving assistance system, including ACC active cruise control system, LKAS lane keeping assist system, etc., to improve driving safety. In addition, some models are equipped with a head-up display (HUD) and an SBW push-button electronic gear shift system to increase the convenience and comfort of driving.
In terms of power, the Honda Accord provides a combination of a 1.5T engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, with a maximum power of 141 kilowatts, a peak torque of 260 Nm, and a WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.6L, which meets the needs of family cars for power and economy. In addition, it is worth noting that the Accord does not require 95 gasoline, and can be used by simply filling up 92 gasoline, which reduces the cost of using the car.
Write at the end
As a family sedan, the Honda Accord has excellent performance in terms of appearance, interior, configuration, space and power. Especially for consumers who are looking for value for money, comfort, and a certain degree of loyalty to the brand, the Accord is a good choice. It is recommended that consumers can consider choosing medium and high-end models according to their own needs and budgets when buying a car for a more comprehensive configuration and better driving experience. At the same time, it is also recommended to take a test drive to get a more intuitive feel for the performance and comfort of the vehicle.
