The body length of the Accord is 4893mm, with a width and height of 1862mm and 1449mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. The Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda, and its fastback design better highlights the sporty temperament of this car. From the side view of the car, the Accord's side waistline adopts a three-dimensional design, extending from the front face to the rear of the car, visually elongating the body length. In terms of suspension, the Accord features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.

I just bought an Accord for my son a couple of days ago, and I remember measuring the body length at 4893 millimeters. This length is quite suitable for a family car, and the trunk can easily fit four or five large boxes for grocery shopping. Last week, we went on a family road trip, and three adults could sit comfortably in the back seat without feeling cramped, with enough legroom for the elderly. However, parking in the city requires extra attention, as some multi-story parking spaces are a bit tight and require careful reversing. This size is quite standard for a B-segment car—shorter than the Camry but significantly longer than the Sagitar, and it handles turns quite nimbly. During maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that this body design ensures a good balance between handling and space, making it very practical indeed.

As a seasoned driver frequently handling business receptions, the Accord's 4.89-meter length is particularly appealing. The rear seats offer ample legroom—clients can even cross their legs comfortably while signing contracts in the car. The well-designed distance from the fuel filler cap to the front wheels ensures clear visibility of parking lines in the side mirrors after parallel parking. Once during rain, while driving a client to the high-speed rail station, this sizable car proved surprisingly nimble at lane changes in traffic. Compared to the Teana's 4.9 meters and Camry's 4.88 meters, the Accord strikes a perfect balance between business receptions and family use—its trunk can fit three carry-on suitcases with room to spare for an umbrella bag.

The latest Accord measures 4,893 mm in total length, approximately 3 cm longer than the previous generation. This modification increases rear knee room to one and a half fists, with rear seat cushions also extended by 3 cm. When I used to pick up my child from school in the older model, she always complained about not being able to stretch her legs straight. Now, she can even lie down in the back seat to do homework. Despite the increased body length, the turning radius only grew by 0.1 meters—it still handles tight U-turns in narrow market alleys with full steering lock. Manufacturer data indicates the additional length was primarily allocated to the engine compartment's crash buffer zone and trunk depth, balancing safety and practicality.

Last week, I accompanied my friend to pick up an Accord and specifically brought a tape measure to check the vehicle length—4.89 meters. The salesperson mentioned this dimension has been adjusted over three generations: the ninth-gen was only 4.86m, the tenth-gen initially 4.88m, and now the eleventh-gen added another centimeter. The most surprising part was the trunk, with a depth 5cm deeper than the Passat, leaving extra space even when golf bags are placed vertically. However, with the extended body, extra caution is needed for width-restricting barriers. The 2.1m-wide stone barrier in our neighborhood leaves just two fingers' width on each side when the mirrors are folded, requiring extra care for new drivers. Despite the longer body, the wheelbase remains at 2.83m, ensuring stable lane changes at high speeds.
