A few days ago, Guangqi Honda Accord added three new models, namely, Rui T Power Deluxe Edition (197,800), Rui T Power Premium Edition (214,800) and e:PHEV Deluxe Edition (226,800). These three models are consistent with the cash in appearance design, interior power, etc., the price has increased by 1000 yuan, and the configuration has been supplemented with parallel auxiliary and reversing side warning functions. These two functions are relatively practical, and at present, sales terminals will have discounts, so rounding is also a free configuration.
Briefly describe the appearance. Before that, many fans complained about the appearance design of the 11th Honda Accord. But I personally think that the new design style is simple and not simple as a whole, and it is more attractive. The overall temperament of the front part has changed from the previous coupe style to the slightly sedate executive car style.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4980mm, 1862mm and 1449mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2830mm. Viewed from the side, the lines of the whole vehicle are smooth and elegant. Due to the low height of the car body and the flat front, its visual effect is particularly slender and very durable. In the rear part, the combination of duckling tail and blackened taillights adds a lot of sports atmosphere to the tail. In addition, the diffuser-like design below also makes the layering of the rear of the car more distinct.
Entering the car, the standard T-shaped layout is very simple, which even gives me a feeling of being in a new energy vehicle. The combination of 10.2-inch full LCD instrument panel and 12.3-inch floating central control screen is quite satisfactory. The car system supports the latest Honda CONNECT 4.0, and has a series of functions such as the interconnection mapping of CarLife and CarPlay mobile phones, facial recognition and voice recognition control system.
In terms of power, the new Accord fuel version is equipped with a 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 192Ps and a maximum torque of 260 N m. The transmission system is matched with CVT continuously variable gearbox. This power system has no advantage compared with the same price. Just take out the 2.0T engine of the American medium-sized B-class car and you can easily surpass this Honda 1.5T.
The plug-in version is equipped with a powertrain consisting of a 2.0L engine and a motor, in which the maximum power of the engine is 148Ps and the maximum torque is 182N·m；; The maximum power of the motor is 135kW and the maximum torque is 335 N m. It is equipped with a battery pack with a capacity of 17.7kWh, and the battery life of NEDC is 106km. The most criticized point of this plug-in version is that the battery pack occupies a lot of space in the trunk (as shown below). In fact, there is no plug-in model in the development stage of the new generation Accord, which was forced into it after it was made in China. I think this is also the most design flaw.
Next, let’s take a look at how to choose the three models.
260TURBO Deluxe Edition (197,800)
Highlights of this model: HUD head-up digital display, equipped with L2 Honda SENSING driver assistance system, and equipped with 8-speaker speakers. The seat is made of imitation leather, and the main and auxiliary seats support electric adjustment. In addition, the model is also equipped with comfortable configurations such as automatic air conditioning and PM2.5 filtering device. On the whole, as the cheapest of the three models, it can fully meet the daily driving needs, but without the functions of seat heating/ventilation, the ride comfort in winter/summer will be slightly worse.
260TURBO Premium Edition (214,800)
The Premium Edition has been upgraded on the basis of the Deluxe Edition, such as the tire size from 17 inches to 18 inches. In addition, the front and rear parking radars and eight ultrasonic radars are added to this model, which is very helpful for novices.
In terms of comfort configuration, this model is equipped with remote start function, so you can start the vehicle in advance and turn on the air conditioner in summer or winter. The seat material was upgraded to leather, and the heating and ventilation functions of the front seats were added. The driver’s seat is also equipped with a memory function, which makes it easy to quickly adjust to the most comfortable driving position. In addition, the model is equipped with a 12-horn BOSE speaker. The overall price is 17,000 more expensive than the deluxe edition, but I personally think it’s quite worthwhile to match so many comforts, entertainment and safety.
2.0L e:PHEV Deluxe Edition (RMB226,800)
Compared with the 260TURBO Premium Edition, this plug-in hybrid model has a much lower cost performance. The seat leather is imitation leather and has no ventilation/heating function; Skylights are just single skylights rather than panoramic skylights; There are only eight speakers and they still don’t BOSE；; Then there is the most fatal trunk space problem mentioned above, so the choice of this version needs careful consideration.
Finally, to sum up, the most cost-effective of the three cars is the 260TURBO Premium Edition, which has all the comfort, entertainment and assisted driving configurations; The least worth buying is the 2.0L e:PHEV Deluxe Edition, which is the most expensive but lacks a lot of configuration. As the cheapest of the three models, the 260TURBO Deluxe Edition is fully adequate for daily use.
