ACCORD V6 = 202Kw / 10.0L on 91 RON
AURION V6 = 200Kw / 9.9L on 95/98 RON
feed the Accord some 98 and you'll get a couple more ponies and a bit better fuel consumption.. and you guys know the difference between 200Kw on paper from Honda versus 200Kw on paper from other manufacturers..
Where did it say Aurion's 2GRFE needs RON 95/98 to produce 200kw?
That sounds more like Holden's V8 where the max power is quoted using RON98
I guess time will tell, Claimed fuel consumption figures arent really that reliable, how many people have actually matched a claimed figure on average?!
The few cars i drive differ considerably to what the manufacturers claim was.
Be interesting to see what fuel consumption figures motor magazines obtain
not only can i match the claimed fuel economy on an o6 civic auto, my average over 40,000km beats the advertised figure by 0.4l/100km
New cars always consume a lot of fuel when new. My euro consumed around 17L/100k initially (normal driving), now its down to 9.~L/100km. Its gotta be driven for 5000km - 10000km km before judging the consumption, which I think is what many car magazines forget to do when they test drive a brand new car.
i have to strongly disagree with that comment going by personal experience
The Aurion was advertised to have Dual VVTI(whatever that may be - similiar to i-VTEC?) on it's 2GR-FE 3.5 DOHC V6 , plus the Auto Trans is a 6 speed ... As for the claimed fuel consumption - there is always that little message marked with the asterix under a vehicles info booklet...
"ADR81/01 cycle. Actual fuel consumption may vary on driving style and conditions" . -
As for the new Accord V6 , 10.0 litres is decent for a 3.5 i-VTEC sohc v6 that features VCM and weighs around the 1.6 tonne mark ( the 2.4 VTI would struggle ?) . Would have been better though if the Auto was a 6 speed instead of a 5 speed.
dual vvti is just toyotas fancy wording for valve timing for both the intake and exhaust valves. as was stated earlier, even if the aurion is rated at 200kw, it still feels more sluggish than a honda engine rated at the same power. for some reason toyotas feel underpowered for me.. its just like how my 1.6L vtec sohc daily driving civic feels more lively compared to my gfs 1.8l 2007 vvti dohc corolla. compared them both on hills, freeway etc.. maybe for other drivers its fine, but thats just my opinion.
and i think hondas marketing the accord more towards competing with the aurion and the larger cars, in comparisson to the camry. here toyotas got the camry to compete with the mazda 6 and that, where honda has the euro for that category.
aurion equipped with da same engine tat used in da current shape luxus RX350 plus da 6 speed gear box. good power delivery and very smooth to drive.
toyota bring aurion in to aus market is to compete in V6 market. it didnt take long for aurion to become da top 10 selling car in da country. local assembled, $120 fixed service plan for 1st 3 yrs...etc etc
the camry we getting here is da same shape in jap and us. asia gets da aurion shape camry, comes in 4 cylinders engine only
