On March 20, GAC Honda launched new models of its two flagship models at the same time.
Among them, as a benchmark leading model in the mid-to-high-end sedan market, Accord launched a sports series, with three sub-models priced between 179,800 and 214,800 yuan; the new model even launched seven sub-models at once, with a price range of 129,900 to 170,900 yuan.
With its advanced and sporty brand image, Accord has been favored by nearly 3.5 million users in China. This new series will further enhance the sporty temperament of Accord and consolidate the competitiveness of Super Accord with a richer brand matrix.
The Accord Sport series uses an intuitive design approach that is more in line with the concept of “more sporty and more reassuring” to maximize the sporty atmosphere of the front face.
Its appearance not only improves the appearance, but also optimizes the aerodynamics. Through the lateral expansion design and optimization of the front face structure, the deflector system is integrated to form a coordinated air intake between the active air intake grille and the air intake. During driving, the sharp fold line cuts the airflow, and the airflow is diverted to both sides, which not only improves the high-speed driving stability, but also reduces energy consumption. The fuel consumption of the Accord 1.5T engine is as low as 6.6L/100km.
Its 1.5T direct injection VTEC turbocharged engine is the strongest in its class, with a maximum torque of 260N·m and a maximum power of 141kW. In terms of handling and tuning, the sports body is based on the new Honda Architecture, achieving an organic combination of high rigidity and lightness, with a high upper limit of handling, coupled with driving control "black technology" such as the MMS sports management system, to achieve a more advanced driving quality. At the same time, Accord also uses advanced intelligent driving technology to enhance active safety, leading the world to be the first to be equipped with the Honda SENSING 360+ intelligent driving assistance system, providing the most and most comprehensive intelligent driving assistance in the same class of joint ventures in full-speed driving from low speed to high speed.
It is reported that there are still over 700,000 Accords that are over 15 years old running on the road in China, which is the best proof of the high quality of Accord.
Before leaving the factory, Accord's seats have to withstand 30,000 friction tests, which is more than three times the wear resistance in the industry. After ten years, they are still as resilient and soft as a new car. In a test field simulating sand and stone splashing, Accord's chassis protective coating can withstand 960 hours of impact and remain intact, more than twice the industry standard. The brake pipes can withstand 1,800 hours of salt spray corrosion testing without rusting, which is 1,000 hours more than the industry standard.
The new model has a more stylish appearance, and the carving design under the headlights, which is in line with the previous generations of INTEGRA, is the finishing touch.
The new Geely series is equipped with the newly upgraded Honda CONNECT 4.0 intelligent interconnection system as standard, which not only provides a more user-friendly AI smart assistant, as well as richer entertainment functions such as Changba and Aiquting, but also updates the user's high-frequency demand configurations such as Apple CarPlay, dual Type-C charging ports, and Baidu Maps.
In terms of smart technology, the new Honda GT is equipped with three upgraded functions of Honda SENSING safety super-sensing, including a more powerful CMBS collision mitigation braking system, a more natural and smooth ACC adaptive cruise control experience, and LKAS lane keeping and TJA traffic jam assistance, which make users more relaxed and comfortable. In addition, the new Honda GT is equipped with a new MT manual transmission, adding the same speed matching control system as the TYPE R, and adopting the same lightweight structure as the sports car, which brings faster handling and acceleration performance.
