IN THE MAJOR KEY
The buyer is always right. Even if he … is not quite right. When the eighth generation Accord was released in 2008, many fans of the brand became moody. The car was criticized for its weightiness and slowness. But didn’t you blame your predecessor for the noise and gluttony? Got what you asked for. Now the eighth Accord is retouched.
As Honda often practices, visual changes are purely symbolic. Slightly different bumpers and fog lights, a new design of the rims … Perhaps the most noticeable difference in the head optics. The bi-xenon headlights, which are part of the Type-S, Executive and Executuve + NAVI trim levels, can now switch independently from low to high and vice versa using a camera located behind the cabin mirror. Added to the headlamp and an element to illuminate the turn.
Inside, the central display has acquired a navigation system. In addition, the car learned to recognize up to 550 voice commands, including those related to audio control and climate control.
In the interior - new finishing fabrics, and most importantly - navigation, on the monitor of which the image from the rear view camera is also projected

“Chord” in motion became a little different. On rough asphalt near Moscow, the sedan spanks a bit quieter thanks to improved soundproofing. And it seems to run a little faster! In fact, the acceleration time and elasticity remained the same, it's all about the sensations. Especially for our market, the gas pedal settings have been changed. If earlier the driver had to overcome the effort at the end of the turn, now this step has disappeared and the pedal is easier to squeeze. The result is an impression of greater agility and responsiveness, at least in the 200-horsepower version with a 2.4-liter engine (the Accord is also equipped with a two-liter engine in 156 hp).
Well, the wishes of the buyers were taken into account. The car did not become fundamentally different, but added to the relevance of the equipment and comfort. You can evaluate the work done by laying out from 999, 000 to 1, 250, 000 rubles. Only one secret remained: the price of the version with the navigation “Honda” has not yet been announced.
HONDA ACCORD - THE MACHINE BECAME A LITTLE LIFEER AND QUIETER IN MOVEMENT, COMFORTABLE IN EVERYDAY LIFE, INCLUDING THANKS TO NAVIGATION
CONSTANTLY CHANGING
This is a failure!
As in the case of Accord, it’s much easier to find the differences between the old Jazz and the new one from the front - these are slightly modified bumpers, optics, and radiator grilles

Failure during overclocking significantly spoiled the impression of the Honda Jazz equipped with i-Shift robotic mechanics. But - everything flows, everything changes … From now on, the gear ratio in the transmission is constantly changing: the i-Shift has been replaced by a variator. Buyers will not have to puzzle over the choice of motor: as before, they offer the only option - 1.4 liter capacity, 100 hp. Heavy metal is not enough for jazz, but enough for jazz. The machine accelerates vividly at city speeds, a lack of power is felt only when overtaking on the highway.
Riding with a CVT is a pleasure! The "Jazz" starts softly, we stopped on a hill - it does not roll back. The secret is in the use of a torque converter, which is automatically connected as soon as the lift sensor detects a certain slope. When braking and idling, the torque converter is turned off, thereby reducing fuel consumption.
When accelerating "to the floor" the motor voice is annoying, but this is the only nit-picking. The response to the gas pedal is fast, the change of virtual speeds is possible through the steering wheel paddles.
Added a little bit of chromium, darker plastic, other fabrics - that's all the changes

As before, the salon is happy: none of the competitors will find such a simple and effective transformation scheme for Magic Seats, which offers 16 (!) Options. From now on, Elegance and Executive configurations are distinguished by a black and blue fabric interior.
