Exterior
The exterior of the 2019 Honda Accord looks more luxurious, elegant and of course futuristic. The shape of the latest generation Honda Accord is more fluid. In the past, this car made an impression on bosses or established men, this time it is more refined for young people. Er, I mean young boss.
At the front, this Accord has a giant piano black grille. This makes the car look more intimidating when viewed from the front. The large chrome trim also connects to the lights which reinforce Honda's characteristic solid wing face. The fog lamp housing is unique with original holes at the ends and a thin line connecting to the middle. This appearance makes the face of the 2019 Honda Accord look even more attractive and cool. Good job!
Turning to the side, the rear is made to look more similar to a fastback car than a sedan. With a sloping and automatic rear window, the rear of the roof dips sharply, aka it has a characteristic sloping roof line and gives the impression of a coupe sedan. The C pillar on this car also has a unique curve, and as usual, the distinctive luxury reinforcement is in the large chrome trim at the top of the window, the pillars are made piano black.
The back has chrome trim which is made to connect to the back. The curve of the tip of the trunk seems to make the Honda Accord look like it has a ducktail spoiler, while the light model that is carried like the letter C on the Civic also reinforces the impression of a contemporary Honda sedan which is very distinctive from behind. Plus it's combined with a dual muffler with chromed tips and by the way, inside it is a real exhaust.
Much More Luxurious Interior
The interior of the Honda Accord has also been overhauled, the dashboard design uses a T-style accent. But the cool thing is that the horizontal shape attached to the door trim is made continuous, so it looks like one continuous line. And the accents on the dashboard seem to surround the passengers sitting inside. Apart from the interior becoming much more luxurious, cabin space has also increased.
The Honda Accord's heelbase gets an additional 48 mm at the rear. Luggage space has also increased to 123 liters. This makes the Honda Accord use the Man Maximum, Machine Minimum philosophy implemented by Honda. Several parts that previously did not use soft touch are now equipped with soft touch. The driver's seat is equipped with a total of 12-way electrical adjustments including 4-way Lumbar support settings.
Regarding the materials used, don't hesitate. Because the Honda Accord is equipped with the best materials. The top of the dashboard is really high quality soft touch, as is the matte wood panel which gives a luxurious impression plus the combination of lots of metal trim materials in this car. The seats, which are upholstered in light colored leather, also give the impression of a spacious cabin. Meanwhile, the cabin lights used are still halogen, but there are lots of them. At the front there are two, in the middle there is one and at the back there are two.
Topnotch Features
This review of the 2019 Honda Accord (latest generation) is also filled with features. The first thing you see is remote engine start, so you can start the engine from outside the car. To cool the cabin first, this feature is clearly very functional. This is also one of the rarest features in Indonesia.
Furthermore, now there is a Wireless Charger feature too. For those whose cell phones support it, all you have to do is put your cell phone here and the battery will immediately be charged without cables. Furthermore, there are a total of 10 speakers in this Accord, so listening to songs while sitting in the back will feel just as good.
There is also passive keyless entry, walk away lock, auto up and down windows, auto brake hold, electric parking brake, automatic wipers, electrochromatic rearview mirror, electric seats, USB port and cruise control. Apart from that, this car is also equipped with voice command. But what's interesting is that the AC is equipped with dual zone auto climate control, aka the temperature of the driver and front passenger can be varied.
But the cool thing is, if we set it to cooler, there is a backlight behind the knob which will change to blue. If you set it hotter, the backlight will change to red. A cool touch of detail. The maximum temperature is 32 degrees Celsius, the coldest is 18 degrees, and of course there is a defroster and defogger.
Honda Sensing, Makes It Even Cooler
Apart from the many features, when Carmudi reviewed the 2019 Honda Accord, the Honda Sensing feature was also found. The smart safety feature called Honda Sensing is brought back to this generation of Accord. So, relying on the many sensors in this car, one of which is the radar in the radiator grille, this new Accord is equipped with active safety features.
The first is adaptive cruise control. So apart from being able to control the speed from the cruise control, we can also adjust the distance to maintain a distance from the car in front of us. There is also auto high beam, lane keeping assist system, collision mitigation system, ABS, EBD, brake assist, stability control.
But Honda also reminds us that even though there is a Honda Sensing system, the driver's role is still number one and the most important in safe driving.
This latest generation Honda Accord also has hill start assist, emergency stop signal, tire pressure indicator, reversing camera with three different angle options, 4 parking sensors at the rear and 4 more at the front. There is also a rest reminder if it is detected that driving concentration is reduced, and there are 6 airbags, in front, front seat and curtain airbags. Wow, it's not wrong to buy this sedan.
2019 Honda Accord Review-Engine
Regarding the engine under the hood, Honda installed an engine coded L15B. This engine has a capacity of 1,498 cc, 4 cylinders, turbocharged, DOHC, V-Tec. This machine is capable of producing power up to 187 hp with a maximum torque of 260 Nm. The power produced by this engine is channeled to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. Regarding the trunk tank capacity, this car has a fairly large tank, 56 liters.
So even though this car uses a turbo engine, this Accord is claimed to be safe for consuming fuel with a minimum RON of 91. So, like Pertamax, Shell Super, and other fuels with 92 octane or even 95 and 98, it is definitely still very safe. Oh yeah, almost missed it. Behind the front tire is a wheel resonator. This wheel resonator reduces the sound produced by the tire touching the ground. Meanwhile, there is also active noise cancellation which is able to capture sounds entering the cabin.
That is a complete review of the 10th generation or latest generation Honda Accord in Indonesia. What about the well-established young generation, do they want to buy this car for their daily activities or not?
