Perhaps only in China will it not be far-fetched, if mazda 6 and the New Accord (North America Edition) are put together. They each have their own strengths. Guangzhou Honda New Accord hopes to provide a comfortable ride environment, while buyers who accept FAW mazda 6 prefer to sit behind the steering wheel and enjoy the driving impulse. Even so, in the medium-sized car market, the two domestic manufacturers still regard each other as the most important competitors without hesitation. As for consumers, what we know is that most of the buyers who left the Accord store have entered the exhibition hall in mazda 6.

After introducing mazda 6 to replace 626 and Millenia, the situation of Japanese Mazda Automobile Company began to improve. When it entered China in the form of localization, it was of greater significance to us. Today, he not only saved Mazda, but also promoted China's "FAW Car", even though we still don't understand how mazda 6, which has been branded as "Red Flag Car", can play a positive role in our national brand.

Known as the cooperation between the most astute foreigners and the most astute China people, the present situation of Guangzhou Honda can be said to be the envy of all joint ventures, with obvious product advantages and the market in short supply. Honda, an automobile country that has always been treated differently, is willing to take the most advanced products represented by the new Accord to China for production to keep up with the pace of the world. At a time when many domestic car companies are still worried that price and technology cannot be balanced, Guangzhou Honda has made a leap forward, and establishing a production base that is completely export-oriented in China is their next grand goal.

As one of the most popular medium-sized cars in the world, Accord has a glorious tradition in China. From the third generation in the mid-1980 s to the latest seventh generation today, from imported cars to domestic ones, Accord and we have been friends for generations. By contrast, mazda 6 is a new friend. Although 626 and Millenia also have some sales in China, mazda 6 is completely different, showing a brand-new image of Mazda in the future from the inside out.

Obviously, mazda 6 has become younger. From the appearance, his shape is round and smooth, and the style of European sports cars can please drivers more. Although he doesn't have the angular personality of the Accord's interwoven lines and curved surfaces, he outlines an imposing manner that penetrates the wind barrier. The design of the taillights is brilliant, but some people think it is a bit tacky. The unique five-spoke hub can suck cold air into the rim like an exhaust fan when driving, thus improving the cooling effect of the brake disc.

The design of the new Accord is divided into two parts. The North American version put into production in China is quite different from the European version. The size of Guangben New Accord (and the North American version) has exceeded 4.8m, which is longer than that of mazda 6 144 mm. Unlike the North American market, the new Accord will not be a pure family car. The body is spacious and heavy. For business users, he is a decent driver, dressed casually and standing with mazda 6. The new Accord is like a gentleman in a suit and tie.

In order to prevent passionate drivers from losing their passion after boarding the boat, mazda 6's interior design closely follows the theme of the sports car. The center console with titanium luster presents a "postmodern" style, which is very suitable for young buyers, but we are also worried about consumers, because this spraying treatment is easy to cause surface scratches when encountering hard and sharp objects or repeated cleaning. The three-spoke steering wheel can be adjusted in a wide range, and the chrome-plated instrument panel is full of metal, which makes it beautiful even if it reflects dazzling light.

The integrated central control panel is rich in functions, the key lighting at night is very personalized, and the air conditioning outlet adjustment is simple and practical. Short and pithy leather-wrapped cup, walking in the stepped shifting groove, keeps the fun of control. A small display screen above the center console concentrates most of the information we want to know. Decorative strips made of carbon fiber add to mazda 6's athletic temperament, but the pasting technology needs to be improved.

The details of the Accord are exquisite, and the selection of mahogany and leather is exquisite; Few but fine electroplating modifications are also in tune with the overall style. The steering wheel feels quite comfortable and the dashboard design is unique. The three knobs on the center console are very similar to those of mazda 6, highlighting the operation of main functions.

The function keys on the steering wheel are also very similar, especially the cruise system, which is a bit cumbersome to use. In terms of configuration, the mazda 6 2.3-liter luxury model that participated in this comparative test is slightly better than the Accord 2.4, especially the safety facilities are sufficient, including ABS, EBD, EBA (Electronic Control Auxiliary Brake System), TCS (Traction Control) and DCS (Dynamic Stability Control), and there are as many as six airbags. The front and side air curtains have double airbags, which completely reaches the level of luxury cars. As for the Accord, there are not many additional configurations except some improvements or redesigns of infrastructure and functions. Among them, the front dual-zone independent air conditioner is not available on the old Accord.

Although the design trends of the two cars are different, the rear seats are not restricted. The Accord's rear seats are wider and softer. Compared with the previous generation, the Accord has an independent headrest, and the support of the auxiliary part is also solid. The through holes outside the backrest and hand pillow can be opened with a key to ensure privacy. Passengers in mazda 6 may not be more comfortable than the Accord, but they will get a more practical structure, a child seat fixing mechanism, an easy-to-operate seat back tilting zipper, a flat trunk to expand the volume, and no need to fold the seat cushion.

Taking off the gorgeous coat, we see two equally powerful hearts through the rigid and feminine body. Accord adopts a new generation of intelligent 2.4-liter engine, variable valve timing and lift electronic control system. Compared with the original 2.3-liter engine, the power and torque are increased by 65,438+02 HP and 65,438+03 Nm respectively, reaching 65,438+062 HP and 265,438+09 Nm, which just makes it not lag behind 2.3 liters. It has similar variable valve technology and happens to have the same maximum power mazda 6. The only difference brought by the displacement is the torque of 14 Nm. Does the close technical data mean that the dynamic performance is indistinguishable? You have to run on the proving ground to compare.
