The refreshed 2016 Honda Accord has big shoes to fill—its own. After all, the Accord has landed on our 10Best Cars list 29 times, and it has remained one of America’s favorite family shuttles in terms of annual sales. Even as the market migrates to crossovers, the Accord remains hugely important to Honda. So for 2016, Honda has added some new ingredients (covered in detail here) to its winning recipe. And we just got our first taste of the new dish.
對於一台在我們網站十大好車中進榜29次、
也是美國年度家庭最暢銷的房車之一的honda accord來說，
最新的16年式accord在這樣的光環下，要更進步是很大的挑戰。
儘管市場趨勢傾向於crossover的車型，
accord對honda來說仍然是很重要的車款。
所以在2016年式的accord上，
Honda增加了一些新的要素來讓他保持領先地位，
如今我們就要來試駕今年式的新車了。
The spate of improvements goes beyond the typical fascia revisions and new lights, although those are present and give the 2016 model a spiffier look. Also included in the makeover are revisions to the base four-cylinder’s CVT, structural reinforcements, and suspension changes that are supposed to sharpen the handling.
這次的大進步不僅僅只有前保桿造型和頭燈的改變而已，
雖然這些的確讓人感到2016的不同。
改進的範圍還包括CVT變速箱、結構強化，
懸吊的改變讓操控也更進步。
We split our time between the model enthusiasts will like most, the Accord Sport with the six-speed manual, and another that's more popular among mainstream buyers, the Accord EX-L, now with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
我們將試駕時間分給兩個版本，
狂熱信徒最愛的Accord Sport和主流的EX-L車型，
EX-L車型上現在也搭載Apple CarPlay和Android Auto。
(反正台本90%不會進...)
One for Enthusiasts
Happily, the Accord Sport remains a dynamic delight—we loved the 2013 Accord Sport we had for a 40,000-mile long-term test—especially with the sublime manual transmission, which gets a new ball-type shift knob and still boasts slick action and a near-perfect clutch. The Sport and Touring models ride on sexy, new five-spoke 19-inch wheels wrapped by 235/40R-19 tires, which combine with chassis changes made across the 2016 Accord sedan range (high-performance dampers, the aforementioned bracing, and tweaks to the electric steering) to make it feel even more visceral than its predecessor. The 189-hp 2.4-liter four-banger also sounds great—partially on account of active sound amplification—as it revs to its 6800-rpm redline.
A low-profile decklid spoiler, dual exhaust tips, and side-sill extensions help the Sport model look the part, too, especially in the newly available San Marino Red that can’t be had on other models. Inside, carbon-fiber---esque trim adds a dose of intensity to the squared-off interior architecture without looking cheesy or cheap, although many of the cabin’s lower interior panels unfortunately remain hard, shiny plastic.
以上翻譯略，反正台灣沒有sport版。
One for Most Everyone Else
The EX-L model we tested came equipped with a 185-hp version of the same 2.4-liter four that pipes up (via the sound enhancement) when the gas pedal is depressed with any intensity. Want to know what else happens when you step on it? It actually moves—yes, even with the CVT, which was reworked to deliver power in a more linear fashion. The CVT even has a responsive “Sport” mode, although it lacks manual ratio selection. Sport mode summons passing power with less hesitation and it finds the engine’s rpm sweet spot with more authority, all the while actuating pseudo shifts that do a pretty convincing impression of a conventional automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the ride is luxury-car supple with the EX-L's 17-inch wheels, although a good measure of steering sharpness goes away as part of the deal—especially at high speeds, where we noticed a fair bit of play just off-center. Overall, however, the Accord feels as solid and quiet as ever.
這個EX-L版本搭載著相同的2.4升四缸引擎，
能夠輸出185hp的馬力。
這顆引擎的聲音就算已經有引擎聲浪增強系統的加持，
但是你油門踩多深都依然讓人失望。
(看不懂...這是稱讚很安靜還是很難聽啊?)
但是你猜猜當你踩下油門後發生什麼事情？
儘管他搭配的是會讓加速踩起來變的線性的CVT，
他衝了起來！
這具CVT變速箱雖然無法手動調整檔位，
但是還有反應更出色的sport模式。
(台灣的不是有換檔播片嗎?老美反而沒有?)
在sport模式下，
不但動力來的更直接，
你也能夠達到引擎的最佳轉速，
CVT上虛擬的變速檔位也說服了我們他比傳統自排變速箱更好。
同時，雖然犧牲了一些操控性，
(...前面還說操控進步,這裡自打嘴什麼啦)
尤其我們發現高速下有一些不精確，
但搭配17吋的輪圈卻讓她擁有豪華房車的乘坐感。
整體來說，Accrod仍然擁有她以往的沉穩和安靜。
The EX-L also receives minor interior changes, and Honda is very proud to have entered this millennium by adding 60/40-split folding rear seats (on Sport models and higher). A bigger change, however, involves the integrationof Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into the button-less, knob-less, screen-based Display Audio system, which incidentally still doesn’t win many friends here, with its fingerprint-collecting screen that washes out completely when the sun hits it at certain angles.
EX-L版在內裝也有一些改變，
而且Honda非常驕傲他們這次在sport以上的版本都有六四分離的椅背傾倒！
(六四分離這種配備是驕傲個屁啦XDDDDDD)
更大的改變是車內影音主機都有Apple CarPlay或Android Auto！
完全不需要按鈕旋鈕，只要在螢幕上滑滑就好囉~~~
(反正台本99%不會進......)
不過比起競爭對手來來這套系統還是有點弱，
因為在特定角度的陽光照射下螢幕就看不清楚了。
(完全笑翻XDDDD果然不要引進好了XDDD)
The only functionality of the system we sampled was Apple CarPlay; so far we can conclude that if you’ve made friends with Siri and speak with simple verbiage and clear diction that Apple devices can easily understand—and are content being able to use only a small number of apps (music, maps, text dictation) compatible with CarPlay—you’ll probably get along fine with the system. You also had better be comfortable having your text messages read aloud for the whole car to hear if you want to receive any while the car is in motion.
介紹關於Apple Carplay。
反正就是ios車機版。
果粉們有福啦~~~
(反正台本99.99%不會進......)
But CarPlay has minor annoyances, too. For example, when a passenger used the paired phone to activate the trusty Waze app for navigation rather than use the iPhone’s embedded Apple Maps app (which is still less than reliable in Los Angeles), the Music app retaliated by hijacking the audio system and limiting audio choices to the selection of music on the phone. Alternatively, you can skip CarPlay and use a second USB port under the armrest that allows for charging, and the phone can always be connected through Bluetooth—you know, old-school style. As soon as one of our Android-toting editors gets behind the wheel, we’ll be able to deliver an evaluation of Android Auto, but our admittedly limited exposure on this day says that CarPlay is a work in progress.
但是這系統雖然跟你的iphone一樣潮到出水,但是有些惱人的地方........下略。
(反正台本......)
We have yet to drive a 2016 Accord sedan with the optional 278-hp 3.5-liter V-6, although we wouldn’t be going too far out on a limb to surmise that the 2016 model’s refinements will render it generally as sweet as the four-pots, except with about 50 percent more horsepower and lower fuel economy. Consider the Accord’s shoes as nicely filled as ever.
我們還會駕駛3.5升V6那顆有278hp的版本唷~~~
(台灣只有2.4L,不過進3.5L也賣不掉,聰明的選擇XD)
感想：
尾燈變帥,但是頭燈看的有點不習慣
這樣看下來,這次小改主要是改外觀吧...
我很想要油電版的accord,但看了美規的差價,
普通汽油最低階要價22,105
油電最低階則是29,305
換算下來油電版是汽油的1.325倍
把現在台本基本版的定價129*1.325=174
加上汽油入門版和頂級版16萬的價差......
儼然可以和ES300H打對臺,我還是不要期待好了XDDDD
雖然現在趁著美規小改的狀況accord的折價來到了20萬，
但也只是讓他回到正常的車價...
我不得不承認我對honda這個牌子一直有種莫名的喜愛，
但是台本出的價位真的讓我往往猶豫再三...
就像許多鍵盤酸民說的，
我也覺得能看到150萬這個級距的人，
說真的有心要衝1A2B1L都不會是太難的事情，
有多少人可以不在乎品牌呢?
一台在美國可以說是評價最高的中大型轎車，
被賣成現在在台灣可以媲美超跑的稀有車種......
台本啊台本,我猜不透你啊!!!!
明天要去試這台車,
於是把外電看一看做為參考
如果小改款的地方真如文中所說主要在外觀的話,
那現在小改前的版本的確很吸引人~
自己也開過好幾次的accord 8代,
對accord車系都很有信心,
我想明天應該會讓我很興奮~
