Intelligent comprehensive advancement, the benchmark status of the new Accord mid-to-high-end car has been strengthened again?

The automobile market has always had the saying that "those who get the middle and high-end cars get the world", and Honda undoubtedly implements this concept to the extreme, as Honda's flagship image representative in China, Accord can always use Honda's latest technology and design at the first time, based on the forefront of the trend of the times, which also laid a solid foundation for it to become a benchmark for middle and high-end cars. For a long time, Accord has been one of the preferred products in the mid-to-high-end car market, and now, its cumulative sales in China have exceeded 2.8 million vehicles, which can be called the "evergreen tree" of the automotive industry.

At present, the automobile industry is facing major changes, the era of software-defined cars is coming, the trend of intelligence is becoming more and more obvious, and The Accord has also begun the next stage of exploration, and the new Accord listed last year has continuously broken through with a more youthful and intelligent attitude, catering to the latest expectations and demands of consumers. In 2021, Accord achieved an annual sales performance of 201301 vehicles, and the proportion of car purchases by the post-90s crowd exceeded half, there is no doubt that the new Accord has successfully "planted grass" in the hearts of young people, and has also consolidated its position as a model of middle and high-end cars in the turbulent car market.

So, what is the intelligence of accord? Empty talk, just some time ago I test drove a new Accord, let's talk about my experience.

First, a smarter and easier to use intelligent network system, bringing a higher value car experience

Whether a car is intelligent or not, the most basic embodiment is whether its intelligent network system is easy to use. As an automobile practitioner, there are not many vehicles that I have test-driven, but there are many models of intelligence that are often superficial, deliberately making the screen huge, or pursuing bells and whistles in function, but ignoring whether the use of logic is convenient, the symbol is not in line with daily life, whether the response is sensitive enough, etc. These are the most real and universal essential needs.

But in the process of my actual experience, I found that the latest Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system equipped with the new Accord is different, it really starts from the daily use scenario, the general high-frequency use function is placed in the first-level menu, it is more convenient to find, and most of the functions can actually be completed through the built-in AI intelligent assistant, in addition to the simple functions of voice playing music, querying the weather, etc., such as when I say "Hello Honda Navigation to XX", For example, when I say "I'm hungry", the smart assistant will also directly recommend nearby restaurants, we only need to choose according to our own situation, it will directly navigate, and the wake word can also be more personalized.

At the same time, its built-in home interconnection function can also be smart remote home, such as the morning generally go out more urgently there is no time to do health, then we can call the sweeping robot to work in the car, or turn on the air conditioner in advance on the way home, we can have a comfortable environment when we get home, do not have to endure heat or cold, and even order takeaway, booking tickets, etc. The new Accord Honda CONNECT 3.0 will seamlessly connect mobile travel with our daily life. It provides more intelligent and convenient services and humanized experiences. In addition to linking the external world through the car machine, we can also remotely control the internal functions of the vehicle through the mobile phone, check the remaining gasoline, turn on the air conditioner, unlock, etc., and bring its own OTA online upgrade function, the vehicle can be kept in a commonly used and constantly new state.

Second, a safer super-sensory intelligent driving assistance system, all aspects of the protection of the car personnel

Safety for the car is an eternal topic, in the past we talk about safety is more about passive safety, whether the vehicle in the face of accidents have enough strength to reduce injury, but today with the development of science and technology, the advancement of technology, the concept of safety is also further upgraded, can actively avoid and prevent the occurrence of risks of the car is more active and more intelligent safety, but also the real needs of consumers.

The use of high-strength steel in many parts of the Accord, in the IIHS or Sino-Insurance Research Institute crash test are excellent, the front 25% small angle offset collision is also very good, the overall solid body structure, can protect the safety of the people in the car at critical moments. In addition, in the active safety section, the new Accord is equipped with a more intelligent Honda SENSING safety super sense system, which can better assist us in driving in complex traffic environments every day, actively avoiding some possible accidents, including LXAS lane keeping, RDM lane departure suppression, ACC active cruise control, CMBS collision mitigation braking and other functions, giving the vehicle a higher degree of automatic driving capabilities.

The new TJA traffic congestion auxiliary function, a good solution to the daily we often encounter morning and evening rush road congestion and caused by driving fatigue problems, driving friends believe that they have a deep understanding, in fact, in the traffic jam has no driving pleasure to speak of, people are prone to become grumpy, but also more prone to some small traffic accidents.

So I deliberately picked the TJA function in the traffic jam section during the rush hour, 60KM/H speed below can be kept in the middle of the road according to the strategy to maintain the distance from the car in front of the car, you can also actively brake, when the track of other lanes is detected to try to add congestion, it will automatically carry out steering fine-tuning and other related actions, of course, the sensor also monitors the driver's hands on the steering wheel to maintain a certain attention ready to take over the vehicle at any time. In short, TJA does a good job of sharing the burden of drivers in traffic jams, reducing fatigue and making driving easier and more comfortable. And with the cooperation of TJA and ACC, the new Accord realizes driving assistance in the low, medium and high speed full speed domains.

Third, intelligent and changeable, easy to drive, better understand your driving partner

Young people's desire for speed and control never stops, The Accord has been chasing the ultimate driving control and performance since its birth, the Accord uses two sets of power systems to meet the diversified needs of the market, and the new Accord has intelligently upgraded the power, bringing a more first-class driving experience.

The fuel model was upgraded to a 1.5T Earth Dream high-power engine, with a maximum power of 143 kW and a maximum torque of 260 N·m, matching the CVT transmission, which was retuned for the engine's control logic, the throttle response was more sensitive, the load of the pedals was also optimized, and the brakes were easier at low speeds, and these upgrades gave me the most intuitive feeling: like the TJA, it is better to open at low speeds, and the overall driving is smoother and more linear.

From the system to the operation, Honda engineers try to divergent thinking in order to solve the driving drawbacks in the actual car scene. And many people may not be able to expect, it will even be adjusted in the engine tone, through sensory stimulation to enhance driving pleasure, to create a stronger sense of atmosphere, enough to reflect Honda's pursuit of details, of course, this is also able to cater to the personality characteristics of young people. I have to let people say: Accord, understand the taste!

Honda i-MMD hybrid system has always left the impression of reliable fuel saving, performance is also strong enough, the new Accord Sharp Hybrid has been innovated again, in the motor torque control, battery energy management control two modules upgrade, in the SPORT mode acceleration response faster, and also strengthened the engine sound and acceleration of the sense of linkage when generating electricity, more excellent sound wave atmosphere to achieve a more pleasant, people-vehicle integration of the driving experience. Moreover, the i-MMD sharp hybrid system can intelligently switch anytime and anywhere in the three modes of pure electricity, hybrid and engine direct drive according to the road conditions, so that the vehicle can maintain the best working conditions under the whole road conditions, achieve a balance between performance and economy, 100 kilometers of fuel consumption as low as 4.2L, without fear of rising oil prices, you can also enjoy smooth performance.

Conclusion: With its keen insight ability, Accord always starts from the real needs of users, constantly conforms to the changes of market trends, and continues the "myth" of generation after generation. The new Accord has once again comprehensively enhanced its strength from the three dimensions of "intelligent guidance interconnection, intelligent security and intelligent power", and built a more complete set of "intelligent system", which perfectly meets the preferences of young consumers and further consolidates its benchmarking position. From another point of view, the success of the new Accord also provides a strong proof to the outside world, that is, intelligence is not just the label of new energy vehicles, fuel vehicles can also make great achievements!
