New Honda Accord, Passat, BMW 3.20, Volvo S60, Ford Mondeo and D segment (Peugeot 508, Skoda Superb, Toyota Avensis, Volkswagen Arteon, Opel Insignia)Türkiye market October 16, 2021 Honda is available in its dealers by entering its history.

Accord is a historical car and a historical infrastructure, a history of a Japanese and North America, the most valuable time of the time of produced in 1976, the CVCC began production and reached 1 million production in 1980.

Before the first place in the market we made in the early October with the launch of the car, I will be talking about the Accord that we have published on our site and magazine with all the details. Honda Accord has achieved successful sales figures, especially in the USA. It is a car that has started to be produced in 1982 in the USA and has the title of being the most sold Japanese car in the USA to date.

Honda Accord Coupe, which was produced in the United States in 1988, began to be exported to Japan. In 1989, Accord Inspire was released. In 1991, Honda Accord Wagon, which was produced in the USA, was launched in the Japan market. In 2003, Honda became the first Japanese automobile company in the US to exceed 10 million production. In 2004, the Accord 2.2i-CTdi, which has its first diesel engine developed by Honda, was released in Europe.

As of 2008, Honda Accord’s eighth generation model was offered for sale all over the world.

The 2008 Honda Accord Ex-L was offered to the market with a 2.4L liter engine in the United States. It was a car with much softer exterior design lines, with an American variable appearance of width, length and design, very comfortable and still quite modern today.

In 2014, Honda Accord produced its 10 millionth car in North America. In 2018, Honda Accord was selected as the “Car of the Year” in North America. After a long break with the 10th generation of Accord Honda Accord is offered to the Turkish market with a 1.5-liter i-VTEC turbo engine and compatible CVT transmission.

When we look at the new Honda Accord from the outside, with its length and muscular appearance of up to 5 meters, I am here and attracts attention quite high. With its strong and sporty posture, LED external lighting design showed that it could be a strong and ambitious opponent in its D segment with its lower and wider posture, lighter and robust structure, attractive appearance and dynamic driving engine performance. Perhaps it is possible to say a choice for many different reasons as a design and brand element.

The 4 -cylinder 1.5L -liter Honda Accord new engine produces a 190 -hp power. The closest rival Volkswagen Passat, the 1.5 TSI gasoline engine produces a 150 -hp power. While the length of Passat is 4775mm, the new Honda Accord comes to the fore for both horsepower and length with 4901mm.

The Honda Accord produces 260 Nm of torque in a range of 1,600-5,000 rpm. When we look at the Volkswagen Passat, we see that it produces 250 Nm of torque between 1,500-3.500 rpm. Passat also promises a width of 1832mm, while the new Honda Accord offers a wider area of ​​1862mm.

While the new Honda Accord supports the powerful engine hood with sharp design lines, the A columns have improved the driver’s viewing angles. When viewed from the side, the high -fender belts that stand out as well as the characteristic side facade lines and light games extending along the shoulder line, the door panels that move movement are another elements that support the strong and sporty appearance.

In the meantime, while I am writing these lines, Formula1 Istanbul Istanbul race is currently organized in our country. Honda, Formula1 pilots Max Verstappen, Sergio Pérez New Honda Accord vehicle is using and testing it for the first time in Istanbul.

While the body of the new generation Accord is made of high -resistant steel by approximately 15 percent; For the first time in this model, structural adhesive technique was used. The new generation of Honda Accord Honda is produced in Honda Automobile Co., which produces automobiles in Ayuttahaya region in its Thai factory.

The new Accord is offered to the market with executive and executive+ models with two different rims, 17 inches and 18 inches. The tires developed with Honda engineers also help to improve driving quality and handling features and also reduce rolling resistance. For the first time with the new Accord Honda, a mass production car model features special wheels that reduce noise 6DB.

As a result of the wide body of Accord and a long axle distance, a large interior was obtained. With the remote operating method over the key of the vehicle, you can operate the vehicle’s engine without boarding. In addition, if we take Honda Accord as follows, when we take a look at its strong exterior design; The first thing I see and feels that I think of me is that the combination of North America, German and Japan is a hybrid interior design. In the front chest cockpit part of the vehicle, the wooden transition and looking coatings that appeal to the eye as luxury and the design shape is almost the same as the German BMW cars and consoles. The 8 -inch front touch of the vehicle, the multimedia system home screen, as well as German cars, at least at first glance, there is a distinction in the inner lines and it seems in that way. There is a much smaller gear knob and gear length. When we look at the vehicle from the outside, North America is a muscular and beautiful soft lines specific to Japan. But when we enter the vehicle from the inside and look at it, a Japanese car from the Far East air was more like a car of America and German design. So at least that’s exactly what I see.

Accord’s front drive seat has an ergonomic chief support that is very successful with multi -function adjustable infrastructure, height, depth and calf knee support.

For passengers sitting in the rear seat, a serious knee and head distance is presented. It also includes the heated rear seats in the Executive+ model. For passengers sitting on the back, there is a wide range of goods and two cups of putting space. The new Honda Accord offers a large luggage volume with 570 liters. Luggage volume can be increased by folding one -piece rear seat back; Carpet -covered and lined baggage is very comfortable and appeal to luxury.

The new Accord’s 1.5 -liter VTEC turbo engine; It produces 190 ps at 5,500 rpm. The gears under the F1 pedal steering wheel offers ease of use in the automatic CVT transmission. In Honda Accord, a green ECO button next to the gear lever in the middle console is standard. When the button is pressed to activate ECO mode, gas usage and air conditioning settings vary to increase fuel efficiency. The other driving mode, Sport, is also activated with a button on the Accord’s middle console. When the sport mode is selected, the Accord becomes more agile, and the air conditioner works better.

The continuous variable transmission (CVT) combined with a 4 -cylinder VTEC turbo engine can provide instant response to gas reactions, especially in serial use, F1 gear atriums in the use of the F1 gearbox vehicle offers a great pleasure with the sound of the exhaust. The Honda Accord works under the diffuser in this sense and adds two exhaust outputs and adds power and sportiness to the vehicle. The new Accord, MacPherson and the independent suspension system in the back are actually a bit hard, as well as the handling of the bends and at the same time bouncing a little hard as the hard curves passes through the safe handling feature. In some cases, the vehicle’s suspensions are quite comfortable and the road is successful enough to offer you a good driving experience without making you feel the path, and we can say that there is a great shock absorption structure.

Electrical Controlled Steering (EPS); Using a contactless torque sensor measures the driver’s steering effort and provides a soft, natural and sensitive steering feeling by determining how much electromotor support will be applied. The new Accord is included in the electronic brake distribution (EBD) safety equipment, which automatically rates the brake force from front to back depending on the 4 -channel ABS ABS, the electronic brake strengthener and the dynamic load on each wheel.

Honda Sensung, perhaps when using the Honda Accord vehicle 850km ‘road driving during the driving of me, I can say that it was quite helpful to the system that works reliably. Honda Sensing is also an active radar system deployed on the front side of the bumper. But this radar system has been developed so well that the system has not included errors.

Among the Honda Sensing features include developed driving support technologies, the collision alleviating braking system (CMBS) and the integrated collision warning system (FCW). If I need to explain to you briefly: When I run the tracking distance and cruise control system at a certain speed with the help of the key on the right side of the steering wheel at a certain speed, the vehicle is watching the distance between the front and the distance between the front (with the key on the right side) at a certain speed. Honda Accord, which adjusts the approach distance to it when it sees an object, and automatically braking by maintaining its speed, offers a safe and comfortable ride by activating the collision prevention and braking system when you suddenly approach the vehicle or when you get a sudden obstacle. This also shows this with the yellow-orange warning lamp in the front indicator panel. The vehicle’s right and left mirrors also have a warning lamp showing the vehicles at the blind spot. In this traffic, he stuns in the form of a signal.

The first time in Honda Accord, the fatigue detection system presented for the first time on highways and the main roads, follows the behavior of the driver and evaluates the clutter of attention and warns the driver to break. The system uses data from the electrical controlled steering (EPS) to measure the frequency and density of the driver’s steering movements. The cross traffic warning system is working with the radar system to increase driving safety during the back maneuver; This technology uses radar sensors to detect the vehicles behind and behind Accord.

The i-SRS system offered at the new Accord controls the front airbag and the seat belt pre-tension to ensure that optimum passenger protection, depending on the severity of the front collision, to reduce the effect of impact force and possible head injuries. The system also sends a lock -up signal to all doors after an airbag or pre -tension activation; Curtain airbags and funnels are located in the ceiling area on the side windows.

In conclusion: I was very impressed in traffic and long road with its performance, comfort. Speed ​​and performance is very good in a very good way to accelerate the 190 horsepower engine and F1 gear pedals with high speeds suddenly shrinking at high speeds in a highly hard way to enter the bends and without losing the performance without losing the performance of the vehicle with a long way to move easily with Honda Accord in the standard way to standardly offered in the form of 18 -inch jans and michelin tires. I can say.
