The new Asian Dragon Leapfrog enters the market, reducing dimensionality and attacking the 11th generation Accord!

The war of mid-to-high-end Japanese sedans seems to have never stopped, especially when Toyota Asian Dragon (parameter) entered the game with a high-profile attitude of a quasi-C class, and the gunpowder became more intense. With a budget of about 200,000, how should the new Asian Dragon and Accord (parameter) be selected? This always seems to be a point that makes everyone torn. Today we will compare these two popular mid-to-high-end sedans.

The positioning is half a level higher and the price is 10,000 lower. The new Asian Dragon focuses on a quality-to-price ratio.

In terms of models, we chose the two configurations that are relatively close to the end point price after the current two-car discount, namely FAW Toyota 2024, the new Asian Dragon, and the dual-engine 2.0L deluxe version, with a guide price of 216,800 yuan. With GAC Honda 2023, Accord New Energy (parameter) 2.0L e: PHEV Smart Edition, the guide price is 225,800 yuan, and the end point price of the two cars is currently around 16-170,000 yuan. From the price point of view, the same is a 2.0L hybrid model, and the price of the new Asian Dragon second top version is nearly 10,000 yuan lower than the Accord entry version. And in terms of body size, Accord body size 4980 * 1862 * 1449mm, wheelbase 2830mm. The body size of the new Asian Dragon is 4990 * 1850 * 1450mm, and the wheelbase is 2870mm, which has reached the quasi-C standard, which is "half a rank" higher than the Accord. If you pursue cost performance and leapfrog body size at the same time, then the Asian Dragon has actually won this contest.

Exterior and interior contrast, Accord young sports, new Asian dragon luxury atmosphere

Next, let’s compare the appearance of the two cars. Although the two cars are positioned as mid-to-high-end cars, the appearance creates a completely different feeling. The new Asian Dragon after the facelift adopts a more elegant and atmospheric appearance. The front face of the 2.5L intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine version adopts an integrated star drill grille. The front face of the 2.0L gasoline version and the intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine version is an integrated high-brightness modular grille. The matrix headlights on both sides look bright, luxurious and high-end, which can be satisfied in one car, whether it is for home or business. The appearance of the updated Accord is mainly youthful. The hexagonal grille is equipped with the embellishment of small yellow lights on both sides, which is quite a feeling of a beautiful car. Coupled with the flat design, the overall look is relatively dull.
