Honda Accord 2020 [Genting Hillclimb] - How Does the 1.5l Turbo Fare? | YS Khong Driving

[@dinfinity85]

This is how a gentleman in a rush drive. With a smile and say 'thank you' everytime other cars let him overtake 😀

[@Seramics]

YS Khong. You are on form today! The best driving ever I seen from your channel and I watch a tonnes of your Genting videos. You visibly improved since the early KZbin videos where you are slower. Really level up and shows even a very experienced driver can improve. Master of Genting liao. Your video brought countless joyc to car enthusiast like me. Thank you boss.

[@TheBaddWarrior]

The first time the camera fell off it startled me till i jumped off my chair, superb uncle as always.

[@HR15DE]

wow definetly you were pushing harder than usual videos for sure. amazing to see what these cars can actually do. amazing drive. theres no other channels pushing cars like this specially in SEA. keep it up YS never stop.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thanks for your support.

[@vincentbu9701]

Yes finally!!! Every car is a race car under sir hand!!

[@mohamadnizam5615]

Uncle Khong always makes a sedan car looks like a sportscar

[@chooikamvin1366]

Uncle's driving so professional.

[@jamsbong]

The simulated gears on the CVT really helps figuring out what speed the car is going. Much better experience. There is a high pitch whine from the transmission. I suspect the CVT won’t last if driven hard. The car handles very well for a large sedan.

[@mashiakira7783]

Yeah heard it too. Sounds like ambulance.

[@theking54077]

It will last as long as you change the fluid regularly people need to do research on modern Honda cvts they’re quite reliable I never hear of them failing

[@Altruistic00]

If any of you guys driving a CVT car, please do the CVT fluid change more often (according to your driving style) & do a proper clutch re-adaptation too. Once you start neglect the cvt, when the steel belt inside breaks, it will be a catastrophic damage to the gearbox. Non of those repairing just the valve body like on normal AT. It is in my opinion that large sedan like this shouldn't have small sized engine, no matter how much the power output is. NVH & luxury should be more of its selling point. It does sound kinda rough too & that cvt whine is pretty noticeable or maybe it's just the mic picking more sound than it should. Probably the car could use with more sound insulations tbh.

[@redyung3311]

Honda using torque converter cvt, there is no clutch in this cvt. Hence it is smooth like conventional AT and no traffic jam inching problem of a clutch over heating cvt.

[@redyung3311]

That whining is from the typical cvt belt... if we take out firewall and sound insulation ... it will be super noisy hahahaha.

[@1992vinod]

I own a civic and let me tell u this.Ur perception that cvt is noisy is correct.However after 3 years owning this and this is my conclusion.U will 98 percent of the time vl not accelerate hard and u vl nvr hear cvt whining.The more faster u go,the lesser sound u hear.This cvt have all my passenger say the car is so comfortable and nvr had anyone complain on whining.Power is more than sufficient at 4k rpm.

[@kenharris7194]

For a front wheel drive vehicle, the Accord handles well. I have the 2018 Accord EX and I have been very satisfied with the ownership for 2 years. No repairs or any issues other oil changes, wheel balancing and an alignment.

Excellent. Thanks for the feedback.

[@terragaia7092]

Uncle YS Khong should make it a tradition where he test the car without knowing the type of tyres then make a reveal later to have a more precised assessment. Edit: Also I can say the CVT perform well I think. Not as lagging and unresponsive or else the drive would be difficult to connect between the car.

[@kueiseong]

The camera bag that knocking around? And do u take corners not in a single turn but in smaller sterling turns?

[@parfumextraitfan7453]

That CVT whine progressively got louder, which means to me that it’s an issue with the transmission getting too hot when under this kind of stress. Won’t last long

[@aeiyzdann5607]

Ive already drive my accord 1.5t for almost 5+++km n 6 or 7 times to GPO but its really scary to see uncle just drve it like a hot hatch.. excellent drive sir.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TW-hk2uw]

Looking at how you handle the car both going up and down the slopes, how much braking do you need to have to control the car especially taking the corners.

[@YSKhongDriving]

The amount of braking depends on how much you need to reduce the speed by in order to make it through the next corner. Knowledge of the car, understanding its braking capabilities, knowing the imminent corner are all factors to determine when you brake, and how hard you brake. Most of the time we brake hard.

[@shakirdarius1772]

In the same price range civic rs or this uncle will buy???

[@ineedtodrive]

now this is fast, i rarely feel fast watching your videos. the accord is good right. i was amaze with the different tuning of this car compare to civic. feel faster and gearbox feel like normal cvt. hahaha its hard to make 18 inch scream, but u really pushing it. i hope honda malaysia bring the 2.0 turbo, at least open for order. value for money.

[@bluedream7264]

Uncle 1.5 T top speed cruising ok? Can it go beyond 160km/h and maintain the speed? The temperature will easily get higher? Due to the small 1.5t engine?

[@aslannarnia846]

Can change the gear Manually with paddle shifters + sport mode without the gear change itself right?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes.

[@SKSK-bt6hc]

Accord handling very good, Uncle Khong also skillful. But CVT sound like EV car sound, very loud.

[@YSKhongDriving]

The Mazda seems to handle better.

[@subiejoe]

Amazed how the top range revs were used most of the time with the CVT. Indeed, there must be quantum gain in development and refinement. A wonderful demo of how well the CVT matches for the engine size and tune. Er now how about a comment of the every day drive to market character?

I drove it on the highway sliwly.

[@sleepingPikachu025]

It can possibly reach a top speed of 200 km/h and possibly have a cutoff at about 207 km/h due to its 1.5 L turbocharged engine

Sporty cars must not have CVT trans. Trans must have gears. This can’t be serious.

[@nazarf1884]

Agree

[@julesgan]

Agree but this is a D-Segment Sedan, tuned more for comfort, so should be acceptable. The simulated gears are just for familiarity sake, and paddle shifters are for those who want to have fun once in a while

What if they finally able to compute the gear ratios on CVT perfectly? Maybe in future. If the CVT able to perform similar to conventional auto-trans it might work just great. But for now and in 5year ahead things would get better.
