Will the 2022 Accord have a 2.0T model?
2 Answers
2022 Honda Accord is about to be launched, with a body length of 4893mm, 2.0T+10AT+four-wheel drive configuration. The relevant introduction is as follows: 1. Exterior: The new car retains the wide horizontal chrome trim on the front face and the slender headlight clusters on both sides. The area of the air intake grille has been further enlarged, with three additional horizontal chrome trim bars inside. The fog light areas on both sides have become smaller, and the fog lights have been changed from the current strip shape to a circular one. After these adjustments, the overall look appears more refined. 2. Body dimensions: The dimensions of the new Accord are 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm, which is still at a leading level in its class.
The 2022 Accord indeed does not offer a 2.0T turbocharged engine version in the Chinese market, primarily providing a 1.5T engine paired with a CVT transmission. This choice is based on Honda's strategy considering China's stringent emission regulations and consumer preference for fuel-efficient models. After all, the 1.5T engine already delivers 194 horsepower, which is sufficient for daily driving and offers better fuel economy. If you particularly enjoy the turbocharged acceleration, the North American market offers a 2.0T option, but the domestic version focuses more on fuel efficiency. As an auto enthusiast, I believe smaller displacement is a trend, especially with many cities promoting environmental policies. The Accord's positioning aligns well with market demands.
