Does Honda hybrid apply for a patented car?

This year may be a cold year for Japanese brands. Under the siege of hybrid and pure electric vehicles, the market share of Japanese fuel vehicles and weak hybrid vehicles has declined. How do they compete with domestic plug-in hybrid cars? The reason is simple, that is, if you can't beat it, you must join. More and more Japanese car companies understand this truth. From Nissan to Toyota to Honda, pure electric vehicles have been launched, and the sales volume has gradually increased. However, there are still some gaps. Among them, Honda has the fastest response and introduced a variety of plug-in hybrid vehicles. Moreover, starting from this year, Honda will fully promote its plug-in hybrid vehicles. As the main model, Honda will be more aggressive in pricing and swear to compete with domestic brands.

In particular, Honda boasts i-MMD hybrid technology. This hybrid system is very similar to BYD's DM-i technology in working principle. The two companies also have many cross patents. Honda only needs to modify the i-MMD hybrid, and it can come up with a plug-in hybrid model that is very close to BYD's DM-i technical strength. In this way, Honda has a more convenient technology than Nissan and Toyota, and can achieve cornering overtaking in the hybrid field.

Recently, Honda declared the 1 1 generation Accord model on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, including the long-awaited "green" Accord. At present, Honda has a hybrid version of CR-V and Hao Ying in China, which has been cultivated in the market for many years. However, Honda did not use these two cars as the main models before, so the sales volume did not reach the phenomenal level, but the hybrid version of the 1 1 generation Accord will be promoted by Honda as the main model. I believe that as long as the pricing is reasonable, the hybrid version of "green" will be promoted.

From the appearance, the 1 1 generation Accord hybrid version continues the design of the hybrid version. At present, this design language is still controversial in China. Many consumers think it is young enough to exercise, simple and modern, but some consumers think its design is too radical and bold, losing the original charm of the Accord. The front face adopts a honeycomb black grille with a large logo. Headlights are as sharp as sharp eyes, and the front of the car is lower with flat design elements, which is more concise and capable than the previous generation.

The side shape continues the sliding back design of ten generations, but unfortunately, the hidden door handle with more scientific sense is not used, and the window shape is conservative and not as big as the front face. However, there are more elderly consumers considering the Grand Accord, so it is reasonable not to adopt more radical design. The dimension is 4980/ 1860/ 1450 mm and the wheelbase is 2830.

The tail design breaks the existing Honda design elements, and adopts a penetrating taillight, which makes the overall shape more dynamic and full of science and technology. The penetrating taillights have the style of Japanese cars in the 1980s, and there are many details at the tail, such as Guangqi Honda, Honda Blue Standard, Accord British Standard, PHEV Hybrid Standard, etc. It can be seen that this is a hybrid model.

In addition, in terms of interior design, 1/generation Accord has been optimized for the domestic market, and the key area has been completely upgraded, leaving only1knob key and 4 multi-function keys. The knob button has a circular LED screen, which can display various display interfaces such as air conditioning temperature and clock. The overall shape is basically the same as that of the new Civic, with a through honeycomb air outlet and a suspended large screen. The whole system comes standard with Honda CONNECT 3.0 system, which supports mobile phone interconnection, voice control and other functions.

In terms of power, the plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a 2.0L Atkinson cycle hybrid engine, which forms an i-MMD hybrid system with the motor. It is also equipped with a battery pack provided by Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd.. Together with the Accord's large fuel tank, it is estimated that the total cruising range can reach 1200 km. In addition, the official fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 1L, and the actual fuel consumption should be around 4-5L. Generally speaking,

Summary: At present, the agreement 1 1 has been published, and it is believed that we will see the agreement 1 1 in the market in the near future. For consumers, the strength of the 1 1 Accord is quite good, and it is also a model worth buying. Coupled with the plug-in version, I believe there will be more choices for consumers.
