本田将于今年晚些时候发布第十代雅阁。本田表示，2018款雅阁将提供三种动力总成，包括两台涡轮汽油引擎和下一代双电机混动系统。入门级车型将搭载1.5升四缸涡轮引擎，目前该系统已经应用于思域和CR-V。不过本田并未提供其输出功率，只是表示与引擎搭配的是六速手动变速器或CVT变速器。另一台2.0升四缸涡轮引擎可搭配六速手动或十速自动变速器及前轮驱动。这两种引擎都将在本田位于俄亥俄州Anna的工厂生产。目前混动版细节很少，本田仅表示，该车将采用本田下一代创新性双电机混动技术。本田表示，新款雅阁将采用完全重新设计，更突出侵略性，同时新车将比以前“高度大幅降低，宽度增加”。
2018 Honda Accord Goes Turbo, Keeps Manual Transmission
The tenth-generation Honda Accord is coming later this year. When it arrives, Honda says the 2018 Accord will have a trio of new and updated powertrains, including two turbocharged gas engines and the next generation of the company’s two-motor hybrid system.
On the base end, Honda will offer a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine – presumably a version of the one used in the Civic and CR-V. Output numbers aren’t confirmed just yet, but Honda does say the engine will be available with both a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission. A higher-output, 2.0-liter turbo-four will also be on offer, paired with a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Honda is proud to say the 2018 Accord will represent the first application of a 10-speed automatic in a front-wheel-drive car, though, honestly, we’re more stoked that six-speed manual is sticking around. Both of the turbo motors are built at Honda’s engine plant in Anna, Ohio.
Details on the Accord Hybrid are slim, the automaker only confirming the new version “will be powered by the next generation of Honda’s innovative two-motor hybrid technology.”
Honda says the new Accord will have “a new-from-the-ground-up design” with a more aggressive design. The 2018 model will “have a dramatically lower and wider appearance” than before.
