B-class sedan, Accord has always been the market benchmark, since last year's generation, not only the product power has been fully upgraded, the HEV has also been upgraded to the PHEV plug-in hybrid version, as a decades-old model brand, even in the competition of so many new models, it can still maintain a strong sales momentum, which is the most worthy of our choice.

Intelligence and safety are all full, and there is no shortcoming in all-round strength
In the intelligent car market, the all-new Accord e:PHEV also has a unique competitive "smart seat, smart driving". The all-new Accord e:PHEV features multi-screen linkage and the latest intelligent interactive technology Honda Connect 4The 0 intelligent interconnection system has created the most Honda-flavored "smart seat".

In addition, the new Accord has also created a safety benchmark for leapfrogging, not only the whole system is equipped with 10 airbags as standard, as well as pedestrian protection systems, and the body adopts a new HA architecture, using a large number of hot stamping steel, ultra-high strength steel accounts for up to 53%, compared with the performance of the standard number of airbags in most models of the B-class sedan market is only 4-6, the new Accord will pull the safety strength of the B-class sedan to the height of luxury cars.
Even with the emergence of new products, the strong position of the new Accord is still difficult to shake, and the benchmark is still the benchmark, whether it is plug-in hybrid technology or intelligent seat and intelligent driving, the new Accord has shown the strength of a strong B-class car, I believe this is also the secret of the new Accord to continue to sell well, in 2024, the new Accord is still the most worthwhile B-class car, and it is a model that consumers can't avoid.
