The Accord is a very popular Japanese model among consumers, and after the replacement, this Accord has been the sales champion in the mid-class car market. In comparison, the Mazda 6atz, which is also a Japanese car, is much smaller. In the long run, it sells a fraction of the Accord's. However, despite this, Artez still has quite a few "fans".
Again, depending on your budget, should you go for the 25L naturally aspirated atez or the 15taccord?Today we're going to talk about that. Mazda has always believed that a car without driving pleasure is not a good car, so among Japanese models priced at more than 100,000 yuan, it is the only model that still insists on using a 6AT gearbox.
He seemed to understand the driver's intentions and was quite smart. The combination of the 6-speed automatic transmission, which was independently developed by Mazda and produced by Aisin, and the Mazda Sky Blue technology engine perfectly interprets the Mazda Artez's "human-horse-in-one" automobile manufacturing concept, and the fuel consumption is comparable in the same class.
Unlike Mazda, which insists on taking the self-priming route, Honda's gasoline vehicles are happy to take the small-displacement turbocharged route. Take Accord, for example. Although the 20T10AT power combination is available in the North American market, Honda's 10AT gearbox is only produced globally at the Georgia plant in the United States, and the production capacity is quite limited, so it is not currently available in China.
Accord Power's domestic car uses a 15T high-power engine, which is a low-power version of the 230Turbo model, with a maximum power of 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. The high-performance version of the 260 Turbo model has a maximum power of 194 hp and a maximum torque of 260 Nm. It is mated to a CVT gearbox.
The Honda Accord is equipped with a new 15T engine, which is the world's most advanced technology. The high-performance version adds Honda's familiar VTEC variable lift on the exhaust side, combined with variable intake and exhaust valve timing. The goal is to improve engine performance and compressor dynamic response. It is turbocharged with a dual stream.
The dual-flow supercharger design reduces exhaust gas interference between different cylinders, helping to improve supercharger dynamic response and reduce turbo hysteresis. Coupled with the CVT drivetrain, the power delivery is smooth, and the power delivery and fuel economy are good. Compared to the previous generation, there are improvements in all aspects of the exterior and interior.
The exterior lines are clearer, giving it a sporty and youthful appearance. At the same time, it retains the good space of the previous generation Accord, positioning the family car, the appearance is somewhat stylish, and it has a good cost performance in the same class. The Accord is powered by a 15-liter engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and chassis with a MacPherson front and a multi-link dual independent suspension at the rear.
The ATEZ is powered by a 20-liter engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the chassis is a MacPherson strut at the front and a multi-link dual independent suspension at the rear. It can be seen that there are obvious differences between the two cars in three main parts, which will bring different effects. First, let's talk about the engine. The Accord's 15T193 engine was launched in China in 2016.
It is Honda's first Earth Dream engine in China. The engine is available in different ABCD versions depending on the power setting, with the Accord using a high-power version codenamed L15BN R. The technology used is relatively advanced, equipped with direct injection in the cylinder, VTC exhaust side variable valve timing and other technologies, the compression ratio is 103:1, and the thermal efficiency reaches 38%.
Today it is also considered an engine, with excellent performance. However, in the early days, this engine had problems such as oil accumulation and oil emulsification, which almost ruined the reputation of Honda's engine. With improvements, the problem was improved, but the problem of increased oil emulsification remained.
Overall, through the comparison, we can see that the advantages of the Accord are performance, fuel economy, space and value retention. The Artez has three major strengths: ground handling, configuration, and appearance. Therefore, I recommend that young people who pursue individuality can buy ATEZ, which looks beautiful and is easy to operate. Consumers have hardly any drawbacks when it comes to buying an Accord.
