In order to achieve powerful power performance, rich driving pleasure, and excellent fuel economy, GAC Honda adopts e: PHEV plug-in hybrid technology based on e: HEV evolution, which consists of a more efficient hybrid structure, mode, and temperature control system. The management system can realize intelligent and smooth switching between EV mode, hybrid mode, and engine mode.
The core technology of the engine, GAC Honda’s new Accord e: PHEV adopts a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, which outputs a maximum power of 109kW at 6100rmp and a maximum torque of 182Nm at 4500rmp. With the blessing of direct injection technology in the cylinder, the driving performance and fuel economy are improved, and the thermal efficiency is as high as 41%. In addition, the engine adds multi-stage fuel injection technology on this basis to suppress emissions, which is in line with the title of green and healthy car.
In the transmission system part, it matches the new structure E-CVT intelligent dual-motor gearbox. The gearbox adopts a parallel shaft structure, and is equipped with special gears for motor and engine drive, which comprehensively improves the high-speed acceleration and extreme speed ability, driving smoothly and with stronger performance. Under the application of this set of powertrain, the NEDC pure electric cruising range of GAC Honda’s new Accord e: PHEV has been increased to 106km, and the minimum fuel consumption of 100 kilometers under NEDC feeding conditions is only 4L, which meets the national VIb emission standard and takes into account household use.
Five health values, a hybrid B-Class that is more suitable for home use
In addition to the advanced hardware configuration, the Accord e: PHEV realizes five health values, making it a more suitable plug-in and hybrid B-class vehicle for home use.
Healthy innovative marketing, using true value to impress users. Enterprises adhere to innovation communication, always impress users with true value, true technology, and true and reliable strength, carry out empirical innovation marketing such as Extreme Challenge, so that media and users can experience the new Accord e: PHEV’s high-efficiency and energy-saving technology firsthand, solve user pain points with empirical innovation marketing, establish rational and healthy consumption cognition, reject exaggeration and false marketing, and promote healthy competition in the industry.
Not only that, GAC Honda has also gained the trust of millions of users through its rigorous quality control system and mature car manufacturing strength. For products, the Honda CONNECT 4.0 intelligent guide interconnection equipped with the new Accord e: PHEV can use big data and artificial intelligence analysis to detect the surrounding environment, detect the driver’s condition, and protect the occupants in the car to ensure users’ healthy travel enjoyment.
Overall, the healthy development principle followed by GAC Honda is the foundation of product quality. The new Accord e: PHEV meets users’ increasingly stringent car standards with ultra-high value retention, car safety and car health. In the B-class hybrid family car market, the Accord e: PHEV, which may have all-round advantages such as energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligence, is a good choice.
