What is the horsepower equivalent of the Accord Hybrid?
1 Answers
The system comprehensive power of the Accord Hybrid is 158KW, which converts to approximately 253 horsepower. The Accord Hybrid's system performance is excellent, with the electric motor providing 315 Nm of torque, delivering strong acceleration at low to medium speeds. Hybrid models typically calculate power based on the system's comprehensive output, integrating both the engine and electric motor power. The hybrid version outperforms the gasoline version. The gasoline-powered Accord is equipped with a 1.5T engine, with an official fuel consumption of 6.0L/100KM, while real-world tests show a combined fuel consumption of 8.7L/100KM. With the support of the electric motor, the hybrid Accord achieves an official fuel consumption of 4.4L/100KM and a real-world combined fuel consumption as low as 6.0L/100KM. Although the gasoline Accord performs very smoothly, turbocharged engines always suffer from turbo lag, with weaker power output below 1600 RPM. The Accord Hybrid effectively solves this issue by using the electric motor for low to medium speeds, where maximum torque is available from the start, resulting in smoother and more controllable driving.
