Note that the Honda Inspire 2024 is a sporty version of the eleventh generation “Chinese” Accord sedan, which was introduced at the beginning of the twenty-third.

Both models have a lot of common body panels, but due to a different plumage, the Inspire is perceived as a more aggressive and youthful car.

Such a four-door has original bumpers, and a frameless radiator grill attracts attention with a grin of vertical bars.

The presented sedan also relies on slightly different headlights and separate taillights, while the fresh Accord has them in the form of a single strip.

The interior of the Inspire is again largely unified with the Accord, although the design of the front panel is different.

In particular, the ventilation deflectors on the latter have a more traditional design, and their adjustment knobs are different.

He is accompanied by a traction electric motor with a power of 184 forces (335 Nm). Most of the time it is he who is responsible for the rotation of the wheels.

The hybrid does not have the usual gearbox, and the traction battery here is from CATL. It is installed under the rear sofa and has a capacity of 17.7 kWh.

It should be enough for 82 km of run in the electric preset (according to the WLTP cycle). The charging port is located in the front left fender.
