The 11th-generation Honda Accord will make its global debut in the North American market in early November. If nothing unexpected happens, this heavyweight product will be launched domestically in the first half of next year.
As the release time of the 11th generation Accord approaches, Honda has recently released some official promotional videos of the 11th generation Accord. Combined with the previous road test spy photos, appearance declaration pictures and appearance imaginary pictures of the 11th generation Accord, the design of its final mass-produced version can be fully outlined.
In terms of appearance, the new generation of Accord will be built using the latest family design language of the Honda brand, which looks very similar to the enlarged version of GAC Honda model. Of course, the two cars are also obviously different in details. The front of the 11th-generation Honda adopts a visual downward design technique, combined with the sharp headlight shape and hexagonal center grille, making the front face look very dynamic and fashionable.
In terms of the side lines of the car body, the 11th-generation Accord adopts a very sloping back shape; the downward C-pillar and short-tail design add a lot of sportiness to the new car. In addition, the coordinated body proportions also make the 11th-generation Accord look elegant from the side. The rear part of the car, the 11th generation Accord adopts the popular through-type taillight design, and the display effect of the taillights is very three-dimensional, which enhances the recognition of the rear of the car; in addition, the new car also has a "ducktail" shape integrated with the trunk lid to add a sporty atmosphere.
interior part, judging from the official trailer picture, the 11th generation Accord will continue to be created using the Honda brand's "simple and stylish" new interior design language. The interior design of the new car will be basically the same as that of the 11th-generation Civic and the sixth-generation CR-V, adopting a combination of dual large screens and a simple design layout. The new car's full LCD instrument panel is expected to be 10.2 inches, and the suspended central control screen is expected to be 12.3 inches. In terms of

This system has the ability of L2-level intelligent driving assistance, which can improve the active safety protection of the vehicle while effectively alleviating the driver's driving fatigue. In terms of size, since it has not been released yet, the body measurement size of the 11th generation Accord is unknown. However, referring to the body size of the current GAC Honda Accord (4906/1862/1449mm, wheelbase 2830mm), it is not difficult to speculate that the 11th-generation Accord will increase in body length and wheelbase.
power part, the 11th-generation Accord will continue to be equipped with two powertrains: 1.5T engine and 2.0L i-MMD hybrid system. Among them, the 1.5T engine has detailed technical upgrades, and the power calibration is expected to be improved compared to the current model. In addition, the 2.0L i-MMD hybrid system will also be upgraded to the latest fourth generation.
According to data from the China Passenger Car Association, from January to September this year, the cumulative sales of GAC Honda Accord were 161,067 units, with increasing by 221.5% year-on-year; compared with the cumulative sales of GAC Toyota Camry from January to September, the year-on-year growth of 24.6%.
