Honda has revealed the 2018 Honda Accord and though it does
not look vastly poles apart from the current generation car, it is all new. We
delve under the surface to list out the top five changes in the 2018 Honda agreement
when compared to the current car.
Platform
This is the 10th production of the Honda Accord and the
platform has undergone vast improvements. With the utilize of more
high-strength steel in the construction, Honda has managed to shave off more
than 50kg of weight from the display place making the car lighter than before.
On the other hand, the torsional rigidity has improved by about 25 per cent.
The new car is slightly shorter than the earlier agreement but is wider and
rides lower than its precursor.
Design
The 2018 Accord style has been carried forward from the preceding
car but it has been tweaked for a sportier look. The split front grille is now
a single unit and the LED headlamps have become slimmer. The profile is a
remnant of the previous intend but the sloping roof has been extended additional
back. This has helped designers shove the rear seat further back which results
in better leg room, in spite of the shorter length. The tail section has been totally
revised and it now sports Civic-like C-shaped LED tail lamps.
Interior
The cabin plan is all new and the most prominent alter is
the tablet-like display screen taking the centre-stage. Honda has completed
away with the dual-display setup and the dashboard has been completely
redesigned. The instrument cluster now sports a binnacle instead of the
three-pod layout and has a multi-information display screen flanked by the two
dials. The waterfall centre cheer up gets dual-zone AC controls and an
electronic parking brake. It gets all the creature comforts of the full-size
sedan including authority seats, power mirrors, electric sunroof et al.
Powertrains
The 10th age band Honda Accord gets all-new powertrains with
the old 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and the 3.5-litre V6 options drumming
the end of the road. The 2.4-litre mill is replaced by an all-new 1.5-litre
turbocharged petrol engine that develops 192bhp of power and 260Nm of torque.
It comes standard with a CVT automatic gearbox and a six-speed labor-intensive
option as well.
The 3.5-litre V6 has been replace by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol
developing 252bhp of power. While it has lower production than the V6, the
four-cylinder delivers 370Nm of torque – that’s more than the V6 and from as
low as 1500rpm. The 2.0-litre comes mated to a 10-speed automatic, a first in
production sedans. You can also opt for the six-speed physical.
Suspension
The Honda Accord gets adaptive dampers for the first time in
its history, but they are limited only to the higher trims. The McPherson
struts have been redesigned and gets aluminium control arms and an aluminium
sub-frame in the front along with a multi-link setup in the back. The Accord
also gets driving modes where the engine, steering, gearbox and postponement
maps can be altered for Normal driving and Sport driving.
