Honda Reveals New Accord—The Civic Doppleganger
Honda revealed its tenth-generation Accord at Bangkok. The revealed Accord is an ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) spec car that is based in the US-spec Accord but gets its own elements. The big changes are the two new engine options that are mated to automatic transmissions, and an all new interior.
The
tenth-gen
Honda
Accord
gets
a
longer
wheelbase,
a
wider
body,
and
wider
front
and
rear
track.
The
front
grille
looks
like
the
same
big
piece
of
chrome
on
the
Amaze
and
the
new
Civic.
Although
more
sleek,
the
tail
lamps
mimic
the
C-shaped
cluster
on
the
new
Honda
Civic.
In
addition,
the
headlamps
and
the
grille
also
mimic
the
new
Civic.
Outside
of
that,
the
ASEAN-spec
model
gets
a
coupe-like
design
stance,
and
new
alloy
wheels.
These
measure
17
inches
and
18
inches,
depending
on
the
variant.
The cabin has a clean, neo-retro layout and sports an 8-inch floating touchscreen display. The touchscreen infotainment system is Apple CarPlay compatible. The rest of the console sports manual knobs for two-zone climate control, a wireless charger, an HUD, and a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster. The steering wheel has been redesigned and features paddle shifters.
One variant of the new Honda Accord comes with a 1.5-litre turbo-charged engine, features direct fuel injection, and has a total output of 190PS of peak power and 243Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a CVT (Constant Variable Transmission), and Honda claims it has a fuel efficiency of 16.4kmpl.
The second variant is Electric Hybrid available with a 2.0-litre VTEC petrol engine and has a total output of 215PS of peak power. The engine is mated to two electric motors (powered by lithium-ion batteries). Coupled with the Sport Hybrid Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive System (i-MMD), the car can be switched to a Sport mode that engages the electric motor and the petrol engine, offering top performance. What's more is this variant can run independently on an EV mode as well.
The new Honda Accord offers new tech as far as safety is concerned. There are radad and camera based safety systems. The new Accord features Collision Mitigation Braking Systems (CBMS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation System with Lane Departing Warning (RDMS-LDW), Auto High-Beam (AHB), and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow (ACC-LSF).
Although the new Honda Accord has been revealed in Thailand, there is no clearity about an India launch. We expect the car to be launched later this year or during the first half of 2020.
What We Think About The New Honda Accord
The
Accord
was
one
of
the
longest
and
most
spacious
premium
sedans.
It
did
well
in
domestic
markets
and
we
look
forward
to
looking
at
and
driving
the
new
tenth-gen.
Seems
like
Honda
needs
a
new,
tenth-gen
design
team!
Civic
Accord
same
thing,
yea?
