In the car industry where the decline of mid- and large-sized sedans is gradual, the 11th-generation Accord was announced in North America in November 2022, and has also entered markets such as China and Thailand to sell it, while in Japan, after previously announcing that the next-generation Accord e:HEV will be introduced, it was officially announced today (3 7).
The Japanese Accord e:HEV is equipped with a single petrol-electric model, and the torque performance has also been enhanced, and it is also the first local model to be equipped with the so-called motion management system of the original manufacturer, which can optimize the car's performance when cornering. However, it is worth noting that the Accord e:HEV produced in Thailand is priced at 5,449,400 yen (about RMB 26.)20,000 yuan) is even more expensive than the Odyssey and Type R, and it is also the most expensive car in the Japanese Honda series at this stage, and the delivery time is about half a year.
The body is designed to be smooth and streamlined, and the interior is equipped with comfort, convenience and luxury.
The 11th-generation Accord E:HEV measures 4,975mm in length, 1,860mm in width, and 1,450mm in height compared to its predecessor, while it is 75mm longer than its predecessor and has a 10mm longer rear track.
As for the smooth curves of the side of the car, the Accord's youthful and dynamic atmosphere is even more impressive, especially the C-pillar slides down and extends backwards to add a sporty atmosphere, and is equipped with 18-inch wheels. The rear of the car through the taillights exude a sense of elegance, and the emblem is located in the light group, on the whole, the new generation of Accord is not only much younger, but also elegant and solemn beauty.
Coming to the interior of the car, you can see that the Accord e:HEV also continues the family design of Honda's new-generation models, including large-area grid-like continuous air conditioning vents, and a three-spoke steering wheel shape, with a 102-inch digital instrument, 123-inch central control screen and 11A 5-inch head-up display is displayed, and ambient lighting in up to 7 colours is available on the door edges and instrument panel**, while gear shifting is push-button.
However, the big difference and highlight is that the new car** has an environmental control knob, which can control the air conditioning temperature, sound source and lighting and other in-car functions, in addition, the car also has a built-in Google car system, which can use Google Assistant, Google Map, Google Play and other convenient functions, and Google Map can also be displayed in the dashboard, Google Assistant can control the navigation destination through voice,** Convenient features such as air conditioning and temperature are also available on the Honda Connect.
A single e:HEV petrol-electric power with an emphasis on optimised drivability and feel.
In contrast to the Accord, which is available in both gasoline and gasoline-electric power options in the U.S. and China, the Japanese-spec Accord is only available with the e:HEV petrol-electric powertrain and is equipped with 2The 0-litre Atkinson cycle engine is paired with two motors, and although the configuration is about the same as that of the Civic and ZR-V's e:HEV, the Accord has been slightly strengthened in terms of power figures, with the engine body making 147 hp and 183 Nm of torque. m, the maximum horsepower of the motor output is still set at 184 hp, but the torque has risen to 335 Nm. m, for the larger body of the Accord, the optimization of power is indeed somewhat necessary, as for the average fuel consumption performance is 42l/100km。
In addition, Honda also emphasized that the vehicle's body and chassis have also been optimized to make the driver feel stable driving performance, and this is mainly due to the fact that the vehicle is equipped with the original so-called motion management system, in addition to the agile handling assist electronic control system that supports the smooth driving of the vehicle when cornering, and the front wheel load control technology has been added, when the sensor detects a corner, the system will combine the torque generated by the motor and braking. When decelerating, the load is applied to the front wheels, which controls the dynamics of the vehicle and makes it easier to turn corners, making it easier to cope with continuous curves or sharp turns, or even rain or snow.
The Japanese Accord also has a variety of driving modes such as ECON, Comfort, Normal, Sport and Individual, and at the same time, the damping operation range of the vehicle will also change in different modes to achieve a comfortable riding experience; In addition, the number of segments of kinetic energy** has also been increased from 4 to 6 segments, which strengthens the overall kinetic energy**. As for the Accord e:HEV, it is equipped with the Honda Sensing 360 active safety system, which not only has a 100-degree horizontal field of view of the front sensing camera, but also has a total of five millimeter-wave radars throughout the car.
