Almost filled all the short boards! How to choose Honda Accord and New Camry in the medium term?

Recently, Guangqi Honda Accord ushered in a mid-term redesigned model. There are 9 models of the new car, the price range is 1 6.98-259,800 yuan, and the starting price is lower than the old one110,000 yuan.

Accord is also considered as a national magic car in China, so this mid-term change affects the hearts of many users. As usual, let's see what upgrades it has made!

In the exterior part, the new Accord has added body colors such as extremely crimson and extremely night silver. The color of this model we tested today is "extremely crimson". This "red" is quite a sports car with some blackening treatment on the new Accord.

So, how to distinguish the difference between the new Accord and the old one? The main reason is that its front face has been redesigned and the air intake grille has been enlarged. This "big mouth" makes the whole car look fiercer and more sporty. Some old users may be a little disappointed. Family B-class cars like the Accord seem to have gradually deviated from the original intention of the classic Accord, but they have to cope with the transformation of the consumer market.

The side of the car body is basically wrong, but the new Accord has brand-new wheels, whether it is 17 inch or 18 inch, it has brand-new patterns. The test drive we got used 18 inch five wheels, which was further improved compared with the old model.

The rear of the car is a newly designed full taillight, and the turn signal has become a running water turn signal. The "E: HEV" logo is added to the rear of the hybrid version, and the front and rear logos also have a blue background, so that it can be verified as a hybrid car at first sight when driving on the road.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Accord fuel version are 4906 (4908) x1862 MMX1449 mm, and the wheelbase is 2830 mm Compared with the old Accord, only the body length is increased by 13/ 15mm, and everything else remains unchanged.

Next, let's get in the car and have a look! Still familiar with the formula, familiar with the taste, but with a small upgrade in details. For example, some small silver decorative strips have been added, for example, several interior colors have been added, but what we test drive today is still the traditional black interior.

The biggest change is that the 7-inch central control panel dissatisfied with the old Accord owners has finally become bigger, and the new one has been upgraded to 10.25-inch LCD screen, and this large-screen embedded car system has also been upgraded from the previous CONNECT 2.0 to the latest CONNECT 3.0 in China. We know that Japanese brands have always been conservative about cars, so we must praise Honda for being "bold".

This CONNECT 3.0 system has several highlights: First, the voice system has a higher recognition rate. I tested it in Chengdu dialect in the actual measurement, and its feedback is quite sensitive; Secondly, many practical apps have been added, including radio, music, and Tmall Elf. The accuracy of the navigation system is also higher, and there is a particularly easy-to-use fleet command, which will be very convenient if a group of Accord owners travel.

The third is to increase remote interaction. In addition to the interaction between mobile phones and riders, you can also remotely control the home appliances in the car through Tmall Elf, such as turning on the air conditioner in advance, and you can also know the situation in the car in advance at home. The fourth is to support OTA online upgrade at any time.

Although it is not uncommon to say that these car functions are put on domestic cars, after all, as mentioned above, Japanese cars have always been very conservative about cars, and the new Accord has such "awareness", which naturally increases the charm and practicality of new cars.

Finally, let's start the car quickly and see what changes it has! Today, the journey of our test drive is more than 100 kilometers, and we changed two cars before and after, namely, the hybrid version and the 1.5T fuel version, which can just be compared. Who is more worth buying?

The new Accord fuel version 1.5T engine +CVT gearbox, with maximum horsepower 194Ps and peak torque of 260Nm. The hybrid version is a power combination of a 2.0L engine and a front single motor.

First of all, I still feel familiar with the whole driving process. Personally, I prefer the adjustment and control of the Accord. Its center of gravity is very low, so I feel close to the ground when driving, which is more in line with my driving preferences. In addition, its steering is very direct, sensitive and accurate, and the suspension is still the former McPherson independent suspension+the rear multi-link independent suspension, and the adjustment is just right. So Honda is really a master of chassis suspension adjustment.

In the family car, if you happen to be a driving enthusiast and you have to take care of your family, then Honda is a friendly brand.

The above feelings also apply to the old models, so what changes have taken place in the dynamic performance of the new Accord? Let's start with the fuel version1.5t. I can clearly feel a curve of Honda's throttle response and acceleration after re-adjustment. The whole throttle feedback is more positive, and the dynamic response speed during acceleration is steeper and earlier. The direct feeling for my mouth is that although its actual power has not improved, it has improved faster.

Of course, my opinion is always that if your budget is more abundant, you should give priority to buying its hybrid version. After all, the hybrid version of this 2.0L Atkinson engine is equipped with two motors, and the fuel consumption is really low. The official comprehensive fuel consumption is only 4.4L Recently, the oil price has gone up again. Please be careful.

Moreover, on the premise of low fuel consumption, its actual comprehensive power is higher than that of 1.5T fuel version, and this motor will be controversial in the initial stage. Therefore, before the 2.0T version entered the China market, its hybrid version was the most enjoyable Accord to drive.

In terms of NVH performance, I think it has been significantly improved compared with the old model. During the test drive in various road conditions, it is quieter than the previous Accord. Another point is that its entire brake adjustment has also been adjusted. The old Accord has a two-stage feeling when braking, but the new Accord blurs this feeling. The front section is not so soft and hard, and the back section will not be so abrupt when braking suddenly. Therefore, whether it is its NVH or brake foot feeling, it also responds to some suggestions and feedback from many car owners before.

In view of the mid-term change of Accord, the exterior interior has been improved and the power throttle has been slightly optimized. The sense of science and technology in the car is stronger, and the quietness in the car is better, so it is no exaggeration to say that this is close to the "ultimate version" of the 10 th generation Accord.

In addition, there are always snail friends backstage asking me: buy Camry or Accord?

Now that these two cars have completed the mid-term change, it is even more worthy of consideration.

In fact, the comprehensive quality of the two cars is obvious. Camry is more balanced and Accord is more distinctive.

Let's interpret it from the driving level. If you want to buy a fuel version, the Accord is a 1.5T turbocharged engine, and the Camry is a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. There is little difference in parameters, but the peak torque of turbocharging is larger and the speed is lower, which shows that the car will start faster and the acceleration is not so smooth in the driving experience. The Camry's self-priming engine will actually consume less fuel. So, whether you want power or fuel economy, it's up to you to choose.

If you want to buy a hybrid version, the hybrid concept of "two fields" is over.
