AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/23 Report--

On June 23, several media reported that a new generation of Honda Accord spy photos were exposed online that the car may be officially unveiled in early 2023. The new car will offer ordinary fuel version and hybrid version, and new electrified models will not be ruled out in the future.

In terms of appearance, from the spy photos exposed, the current body of the new car is covered with heavy camouflage material, I do not know the details of the changes, but the overall outline of the new car can still be clearly seen. The new generation of Honda Accord adopts the new design style of the Honda family. The outline of the spy photo exposed is similar to the models currently on sale, but it also adds a lot of new elements. Specifically, in the front part, the new car uses a relatively large intake grille, the medium net is a heavy camouflage material, which is still unrecognizable, and the LED headlights on both sides have been completely designed and look more fashionable and avant-garde as a whole.

On the side of the body, the new car looks longer and longer, and it is expected that the length of the new car will be longer than that of the current Accord model. The new car uses the elements of a coupe and a duck wing design. At the same time, the new car also uses a new rim style to make the whole car look more dynamic.

In the rear part, the new car taillight adopts the traditional design style, and the taillight is suspected to have adopted the through-type taillight and is no longer a full red design, but more like a return to the traditional hatchback design. In addition, the rear exhaust system still adopts a bilateral double-out design.

The interior part is still unknown. However, combined with the new generation of CR-V and HR-V models that have been exposed before, the interior of the new car does not rule out the use of the interior of the same model of Civic. If the interior of the same model of Civic is used, design elements such as penetrating air conditioning outlets and suspended central control screens will also be used in the interior of the new car. Of course, it is only speculation that whether this is the case in the end remains to be verified.

In terms of power, the new car is expected to carry a 1.5T turbocharged engine of 192 horsepower and a 2.0T turbocharged engine of 252 horsepower, as well as a 2.0L naturally aspirated hybrid model with a maximum power of 212 horsepower, and new electrified models are expected in the future. As a reference, at present, 1.5T gasoline engine and 2.0L gasoline-electric hybrid system are installed in Accord in China, and the transmission system matches CVT CVT and E-CVT CVT respectively.

According to the concern of the automobile industry, Honda Accord has a history of 38 years all over the world. The sixth generation Accord officially entered China in 1999, and the development of Honda Accord has experienced ten generation models so far. Among them, the tenth generation model has been on the domestic market for four years since April 16, 2018. According to the replacement cycle of 5-6 years, the new generation of Honda Accord spy photos exposed will be the 11th generation model. The car is expected to be the first to be released overseas, and then continue to be introduced into China.

In terms of market competition, from the current performance of the domestic joint venture medium-sized model market, Accord models mainly compete with Toyota Camry (17.98-269800 yuan) and Nissan Teana (17.98-269800 yuan) and other models. However, media reports pointed out that the new car is not expected to be launched until 2024, although the Accord model is very well-known in the market, but considering that the replacement model will take a long time to appear on the market, the market is rapidly changing, which may face some challenges for Accord.

The latest figures show that Honda Accord sold 14053 vehicles in May, compared with 16694 for Toyota Camry and 9042 for Dongfeng Nissan Teana.
