Honda Accord
2019 confirmed for Australia
Honda Australia has revealed that the 10th generation Accord midsize sedan will join its local model lineup soon
When speaking to journalists in st
Kilda, Victoria this week honda
Australia director stephen collins explained that despite the continuing drop in midsize sedan sales
The new Accord will indeed be made available down under our plan with a cordis to launch at next year
Most likely later next year. He said to this point only
Left-hand Drive is available
I can't go into details today. But we think the Accords name has been in the markets for decades. It's our flagship sedan
Despite that segment continuing to drop we just think it's an important model
We are working to finalize that it's taken us time
But our plan is to launch it the new generation Accord was unveiled in July last year
Meaning it will be more than two years old by the time it hits the Australian showrooms
According to mr. Collins the delay comes down to a lack of appropriate production availability
We'd prefer to have a shorter period of time but it's currently not available in right-hand drive
Anyway, we'll get it as soon as we can
He said as the United States plan does not produce the car in right hand drive guys
Honda Australia will most likely import the car from Thailand
With the standard equipment in line with its positioning in the model lineup
The idea is we will have it as the flagship sedan. So we'll pack it full of features and technology
He said at this point, we're not going to confirm engines yet, but the concept is we will keep it
It's a flagship
It's an important nameplate a global nameplate although not in Japan a list of possible power trains include
145 KW
260 NM 1.5 liter and
191 KW
342 NM 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines as well as a 1 158 kilowatts
Hybrid that combines a 2.0 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors
When asked if the hybrid powertrain option would suit the Accords proposed flagship position. Mr
Collins responded you can certainly make that argument I think
we've just got to make sure that we can position it price it to sell a
Reasonable number of them which we were challenged with that with the previous one. That's pretty well known
So we're working through that now the Accord midsize sedan received a complete exterior and interior
redesign for the new generation as
Well as updated multimedia and upgraded technology that includes an expanded suite of Honda sensing
Advanced driver assist safety features. Thank you for watching

Welcome back to the new YouTube channel car
Midsize sedan sales may not be as strong as they once were but that isn't stopping Honda from bringing in the all-new
according to the asan region
unveiled at the
2018 Thailand international motor expo the tenth generation that called adapts
Most of its looks from the US spec model there is however one minor change
The Thai speaker called ditches the amber corner lights in exchange for clear units
Other than that the looks are largely based on the aspectx variant with its 17-inch alloys chrome strips from the front to the rear
trunk lip spoiler and LED headlights
This being the model sold in Thailand
it is likely that the exterior design will be either similar to or
Exactly the same as the one to be offered for the Thai market
Three engine specs will be offered over in Thailand
It starts with a 1.5 liter. I've picked turbo engine sourced from the Civic
however, unlike the Civic the turbocharged 1.5 liter mill makes more power at
194 PS compared to the civics
172 PS rating
Replacing the v6 model is a new 2.0 liter unit also
turbocharged
essentially a detuned version of the one found in the Civic type-r the one used in the Accord makes
256 PS
The 1.5 liter is paired to a continuously variable transmission while the 2.0 liter gets a 10 speed automatic
But the main highlight is the hybrid model which was displayed during the show
Dubbed is a sporty hybrid. It has what HMDA calls intelligent multimode Drive or I MMD
The result is a power output that's higher than the one found in the 1.5 liter turbo accord
With its electric motor and then j'en working together the Accord Hybrid produces
212 PS
But perhaps the biggest innovation in the Accord Hybrid is the fact that it doesn't use a conventional transmission
instead it has a single speed direct drive system which sends power straight to the wheels without the need for a transmission that
Said there isn't a high chance of the hybrid model making its way to the Philippines
However, what is more certain are the two turbocharged engines if you're a fan of mid-sized sedans you might have to
Wait a little bit longer for it to arrive here. The tenth generation Accord will hit Thai showrooms early next year
so it might arrive here towards the latter half of
2019
