Why is it the king of B-class cars? 1300 km long accord 1.5T deluxe edition

The weather in Chongqing is getting colder every day. In recent years, migratory birds began to fly south for the winter. The author's parents-in-law completed the renovation of Haikou house last year, which just came in handy this year.

Mother-in-law can't take a long-distance bus, she has already arrived by plane in the early stage. Lao Zhang is going to drive there, because he must bring enough supplies, clothes and a pot of green plants that he has been thinking about for half a year in Haikou. The role of driver naturally falls on me.

1400 km journey, full trunk and two rows of luggage 10 bags ... At 7 o'clock last Friday night, my father-in-law and I drove him through the first insurance? Accord 1.5T Deluxe Edition (see the last article in this state, "Sell Huiang, which has been opened for two years, and change to Accord, is this transaction a loss?" "), began thousands of miles away. Taking this opportunity, the author also truly and thoroughly experienced this well-deserved B-class car king in China auto market.

▲ The loading capacity is somewhat beyond imagination.

Zhang Yue said that he was busy packing these days, and it was not until he drove the car downstairs that I understood why it took several days to get it ready.

Several big bags of quilt cover, clothes, daily necessities, grain, and even his beloved pots of green plants and kimchi jars connected with old salt water are all packed together. This specification is really a move.

Thanks to my father-in-law's overall planning ability, I made full use of the Accord trunk and the second row of seating space. Although it is full, almost to the point where needles can't be inserted and water can't be poured in, 10 bags of luggage are full, leaving a unobstructed rearview mirror space. Unconsciously, the old man learned the new skill of Accord-moving artifacts.

Half a car, two generations, we started from Chongqing North Ring Road.

In the case of full load and air conditioning, the power is not reduced at all.

There are three expressways from Chongqing to Xuwen Port. We take the Baiyin Line and the Lanhai Line in the middle, which is the shortest distance and the toll is less.

This line needs to pass through Guizhou and Guangxi, and then to Xuwen, Guangdong, with a distance of thousands of kilometers. The climate has almost experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the road conditions also include mountain plains. ?

It is the wee hours from the garage to Guizhou. At this time, the temperature outside the consulting room has dropped to 1 and 2 degrees, and the hot air conditioner must be turned on. When the car was loaded with air conditioning, I realized its power for the first time. Is this 1.5t small displacement turbocharger (maximum 260 Nm, 194 HP) enough to tow such a big car (the length of the car is nearly 4.9m, and the curb weight is nearly 1.5T)?

Guizhou is located in the mountainous area, with many continuous bends and tunnels, and the speed is generally limited to 80-100 km/h. Under this speed limit, the Accord's 1.5T power is completely comfortable, and the speed increases instantly with a light step on the accelerator. The process is simple, and it is obvious that there is still sufficient power reserve, because the speed limit cannot be used.

Moreover, unlike some other small-displacement turbines, the power of this 1.5T+CVT drops very quickly after releasing the throttle. After the throttle is released, the speed of this Accord will not drop immediately, but will drop slowly, which is also a big advantage of CVT. There is idle speed and inertia, and in many cases you can run a lot without stepping on the accelerator, which is friendly to fuel consumption.

There are many big trucks on this road, and overtaking actions happen from time to time. It is also quite easy to drive this car to do general overtaking movements. As long as the accelerator is stepped deeper, the downshift and acceleration of the vehicle will come quickly and fiercely, and with a little push back, the action will be easily completed.

After passing through Guizhou, the speed limit reaches 120km/h. At this time, as long as it is kept at around 1800rpm, the speed limit value of120km/h can basically be reached.

Then talk about the chassis feeling. Although the full load makes the body lower, the classic and durable front McPherson+rear multi-link combination still gives people a practical feeling.

At the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, there are many construction sections because of road expansion. Whether it is potholes, rocks or sharp bends, this suspension can well filter out bumps and sideways, and it is always accompanied by a steady sitting posture.

ACC adaptive cruise helped a lot.

Although it is said that two people drive together, it is impossible for elderly parents to have time to drive when they really get to the occasion. So, I was still at the helm before I became very tired.

When you feel tired, ACC adaptive cruise carried by Accord will play a great role. First of all, it is extremely convenient to use. Press the main start button on the steering wheel at an appropriate speed, and press the "-"to enter the cruise mode. After entering, "+,-"can also fine-tune the speed, which is convenient for manual operation.

This adaptive cruise is very labor-saving at high speed. When there is a car ahead, the car will automatically slow down to a safe distance. When the system detects that the front is relatively safe, the speed will gradually return to the set upper limit of speed limit. In the whole process, the right foot hardly needs to step on the accelerator and brake, and it is completely released, which is very easy for long-distance driving.

At the same time, ACC also integrates LKAS lane keeping assistance system. When the line is pressed, the vehicle will give an alarm in real time, so that the slightly distracted driver can quickly get on the right track.

The whole 1 0,400 km expressway trip is 800 km if ACC is used alone. Easy and convenient, no speeding, not only worry-free, but also friendly to fuel consumption.

Starting from Chongqing, I filled up with oil and ran for nearly 700 kilometers, adding a second time. When entering Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province for the third time, the fuel consumption of 1300 km is only about 80L, which is less than 6.2L when converted into hundreds of km. Can I not love the fuel consumption performance of this air conditioner with full load and hot and cold air conditioners always on? ?

『? Finally? 』

On the domestic sales ranking of medium-sized cars in 1- 10, Accord became the absolute king of this market segment with a total of 23,926 cars in 10 and 167059, even nearly 20,000 more than the second-ranked Camry. In such a competitive situation, the status of racing car is well deserved.

Through this in-depth contact, the author further experienced the real strength of the Accord in terms of power, fuel consumption, space, NVH and technology configuration-the biggest feeling is that this is really a very comprehensive and balanced mid-level car. It's no wonder, after all, in this market segment, the more balanced it is, the more it can take care of the preferences of a wider range of consumers, and then the sales performance will definitely be more eye-catching.
