Why did Honda Accord become the top car and sold 10 1540 units in seven months?

Joint-venture B-class cars are becoming more and more popular now, which has become an unavoidable category for Chinese people and the only way to move towards luxury car brands. At present, the B-class car is the flagship model of non-luxury joint venture brands and the most competitive market segment. The significance behind sales volume lies in the promotion of brand height, and it can even be said that B-class cars have won the world. For example, the position of Volkswagen Passat in China used to be the same, which also promoted the overall development of Volkswagen brands. However, the tables have turned, and now there is another car at the top of the B-class car, that is, the Honda Accord.

From June to July this year, the cumulative sales volume of Honda Accord in China reached 65,438+0,065,438+0,540, and it was also the only joint-venture B-class car with sales volume exceeding 65,438+0,000, making it the most popular B-class car among Chinese people. So what are the advantages of Honda Accord? This is the key topic we will discuss today.

First: design

Originally, B-class cars played the role of commercial vehicles in China, but with the increase of national income and the decline of car prices, B-class cars have begun to transform into family cars, including luxury cars such as BMW 3 Series and mercedes benz c Class, so the design has also changed from self-restraint to youthfulness and fashion. At this point, the Honda Accord is undoubtedly successful.

It adopts Honda's new generation design concept and embodies the design style of sports coupe. The slip-back body contour, sporty front face and dynamic side design all make Honda Accord break away from the dullness and rigidity of commercial vehicles, become younger and more fashionable, and provide more fashionable blue, red and silver car paints for everyone to choose from. For a new generation of post-80s and post-90s consumers, its appeal has surpassed that of heavy vehicles such as Volkswagen Passat.

However, the interior design of Honda Accord is not so amazing in appearance, but highlights the pragmatic style. Although the central control panel adopts the popular suspension design, the design of the central air outlet, air conditioning control area and gear shift lever area is conservative, lacking the fashion and sports characteristics consistent with its appearance. Generally speaking, it is satisfactory, without too many bright spots and enough slots.

But the interior space is great. As a B-class car, the Accord has a wheelbase of 2830mm, and the rear space will not make people feel uncomfortable even if they ride for a long time. The size design and materials of the seat ensure good comfort, but because of the sliding back design, the big man will feel a little depressed when sitting in the back row.

Second: Configuration

Honda Accord is also competitive among B-class cars of the same class. Let's take the Accord 199800 Yuan Deluxe Edition as an example. This car is equipped with front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains, L2 active safety system, front and rear parking radar, reversing image, full-speed adaptive cruise, variable steering ratio, two driving modes, active noise reduction and multi-layer sound insulation glass. Honda Accord is superior in the configuration of safety system and driver assistance system, but it also lacks practical configuration such as voice control, LED high beam, mobile phone interconnection mapping and car networking. If you want to make the configuration richer, you need to choose a model with a price of more than 200,000 yuan.

Third: power system

Honda Accord is equipped with 1.5T pure fuel engine and 2.0L hybrid engine. Its 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 194 horsepower and a peak torque of 260 Nm. It is the most powerful joint venture B-class car on the market at present, and the transmission is matched with CVT gearbox. This combination has two advantages: First, it reduces the Honda Accord's 1.5T engine.

But correspondingly, the actual dynamic performance of this 1.5T is also reduced. If you change to an automatic manual transmission, the Honda Accord with 1.5T may have more power, but it can't avoid high fuel consumption and high wear and tear. However, the measured acceleration time of 8.48 kilometers also proves that its power is not weak. The measured fuel consumption of 7.07L kilometers is already very low for a B-class car.

As for the 2.0L hybrid engine, it is even stronger. 2.0L self-priming engine's maximum horsepower 146 horsepower, motor's maximum horsepower 184 horsepower, and peak torque of 3 15 Nm, matching the E-CVT gearbox. The measured acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.55 seconds, and the measured acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 5.5L, which not only has stronger power performance, but also has lower fuel consumption.

The chassis of Honda Accord adopts multi-link independent suspension before McPherson, and the training is between sportiness and comfort. In sports mode, the chassis will provide tougher support, the throttle and gearbox will respond faster and have a better driving experience. The steering direction of the steering wheel is clear and there is no neutral position. In comfort mode, the riding experience of Honda Accord is softer, and the comprehensive fuel consumption will be controlled at a lower level, which is more suitable for daily commuting. The suggestion for car owners or potential users here is to use sports mode on expressways and comfort mode in urban areas.

To sum up, Honda Accord is a B-class car with high comprehensive product strength. At present, the terminal also has a discount of more than 20,000 yuan, so the cost performance has been further improved. However, there are also some shortcomings, mainly reflected in the problem of oil increase of 1.5T, which has not been completely solved. Some car owners will still encounter this problem, and the increase of engine oil will cause irreversible damage to the engine. So I recommend you to buy a 2.0L hybrid car here. Although the configuration is reduced, it can obtain better power output, fuel economy and quality.
