Toyota Prius PHV is already in the market. I think Honda is still lagging behind Toyota.

Is there some serious derating imposed?

Will this PHEV 2.0L Accord or a normal hybrid 2.0L Accord(with IMA ?)be coming to M’sia next year ? If the PHEV does arrive, do we have the infrastructure to do the plug-in charging at our homes ? Any special hardware or gadget that we need to purchase (if it do not come with the car)to facilitate the home charging ?

It’s a plug in hybrid……..Plug it in more. Theoretically if you travel less than 24km per day from full charge you would not even use a single drop of fuel. Anything is possible, don’t limit yourself…………………..

First 2 Motor Drive System, Atkinson Cycle engine, with Lithium Ion battery plug in Full Hybrid from Honda :]…………!!! 1000-1500km + per tank of fuel…….!!! Beats Prius finally….

Definitely something to look forward

As the current “tax benefit” is for 2L and below hybrid only… right? Or am I wrong?

Distributors’ margin is not the main factor for high price.
There’s another group of ppl contributing to high price. Guess who? Sorry, no prizes for correct answer coz I was almost sucked dry 40k a few years back…
