I just watched the winter test of a new Accord e:PHEV, a car self-evaluation expert, drove the new Accord e:PHEV deep into the far north frontier, starting from Hailar District in Hulunbuir, after 721 kilometers, to Beihong Village, the northernmost Arctic town in China. And the performance of the new Accord e:PHEV along the way is quite rebellious, and I have to say that there is something in this car.
All seasons tires
What the? With the four-season tire, you dare to go deep into the extremely cold northern Xinjiang? Isn't it a little disrespectful to the ice and snow in the Northeast?
However, the all-new Accord e:PHEV really stands up with a set of all-season tires! Isn't it said that cars in the Northeast have to be replaced with snow tires or snow chains in winter? Is my common sense lying to me?
Some tests done by the Accord on the road showed that the grip of the all-season tires of the all-season Accord e:PHEV is significantly better than that of the average model in the same class, so he can drive at 50 kilometers per hour, 60 kilometers per hour in the snow, or even a little higher.
In a series of extreme cold challenge tests, where water is poured on the tires to freeze and the tires are frozen with the ground, the vehicle is started to see if the all-new Accord e:PHEV can get out of the ice and snow smoothly. There wasn't much suspense in the end, and almost at the same time as stepping on the accelerator, the car got out of trouble and moved forward, very easily. This shows that the all-new Accord e:PHEV has a strong propulsion and the grip of the tires is also very strong.
The all-new Accord e:PHEV is able to penetrate the Far North with a set of all-season tires, and it is a bit surprising that it has such a strong performance along the way.
Driving sensations
When driving at a speed of 50 or even 60 per hour on a snow and ice road, will it be light and slippery? As for the driving performance of the all-new Accord e:PHEV, the following two points were highlighted in this test:
The new Accord e:PHEV uses a four-wheel independent suspension with a front MacPherson rear multi-link connection, and the comprehensive performance of this suspension system in driving is still quite strong, even if it is on ice and snow + when cornering at higher speeds, it can also play a good supporting force.
In addition to the powerful suspension system, the all-new Accord e:PHEV is equipped with ADS adaptive damping system, which is quite comfortable when dealing with different road surfaces. The system monitors the vehicle's status in real time through six-axis sensors, and at the same time determines the vehicle's status through the advanced control logic of the trip computer, so as to adjust the vehicle's four-wheel shock absorbers independently to adapt to different road surfaces. For example, the ice and snow roads and bumpy roads in this winter test have done a very good job in shock absorption, and they feel very stable when driving.
To put it simply, the all-new Accord e:PHEV feels quite stable when running on ice and snow roads, and it has good support even when cornering, so the speed along the way deep into Mohe is basically more than 50 kilometers per hour.
As a hybrid model, we have to mention the performance and fuel consumption of the car. On the way to Mohe, there is a surplus of power, and at an average speed of 81 kilometers per hour, the new Accord e:PHEV has an average fuel consumption of 59 liters, you must know that there are three big men sitting in the car and also carrying a lot of luggage and shooting equipment, I have to say that Honda's *** i-mmd dual-motor hybrid system is material, too material!
Ride experience
The all-new Accord e:PHEV is riding in the snow and ice, what is the ride experience on the car at this time?
The new Accord e:PHEV has a very large space in the back row, and the friends who traveled to Mohe are 185cm tall, and they can easily raise their legs when sitting in the back row, which can be said to achieve freedom of sitting posture. At the same time, the rear seats are equipped with heating functions, cup holders, and charging ports, which can be said to be very comfortable and convenient.
In the north, the temperature in the car like an ice cellar and the cold steering wheel are tantamount to a toilet without heating, which makes people feel discouraged every minute, so the stand-in rate of the temperature in the car is also a point that needs to be considered in the north. This extreme cold challenge also made a challenge for the Accord to heat up in the car, opening the door when the vehicle is turned off, reducing the indoor temperature to the ambient temperature, at which time the thermometer shows minus 10 degrees. Then close the door and start the car, turn on the air conditioning, and after almost 20 minutes, the temperature inside the car reached 21 degrees. Judging from this measured data, the air conditioning and heating capacity of the new Accord e:PHEV is still very strong.
A car equipped with all-season tires, driving on the ice and snow roads in the northern region, not only arrived safely in Beihong Village, the northernmost part of China, but also had a good driving experience and riding experience along the way. I thought that I needed four-wheel drive, SUV, snow tires and various buff superpositions to do smoothly, but it was easily handled by the new Accord e:PHEV, it seems that it is really a treasure model, to tell the truth after reading this evaluation, I was really planted by the new Accord e:PHEV!
