Honda Malaysia (HM) has announced that the Honda Accord facelift is now open for booking at all 88 authorised dealers nationwide. Like the current car, the D-segment sedan will be available with two engines and in three variants – 2.0 VTi, 2.0 VTi-L and 2.4 VTi-L. It will be launched in the third quarter of the year.
The biggest change is in front, where the Accord facelift comes with a grille in Honda’s new style, which is with a thick chrome bar. The ends of the grille protrude into the headlamps, which are LEDs in high-spec variants in Thailand.
The above image was released by HM, and it shows LED headlamps, so they should be coming as well. There are also new design LED daytime running lights, LED fog lamps and triple LED bar tail lamps. The rear end gets a new bumper and and a chrome bar that also “goes into” the lamps, mirroring the front design.
The refreshed Accord will also launch here with new design alloy rims and a new-to-Honda Obsidian Blue Pearl colour. The other new colours for the Accord here are White Orchid Pearl and Lunar Silver Metallic (latter is the hero colour for the new Civic). Other colours are the familiar Modern Steel Metallic and Crystal Black Pearl.
HM says that the new model will go on a road tour from August 12 to September 4. Roadshow locations can be found on HM’s official website.
The Accord facelift made its Thai debut in February and we got up close with the handsome big sedan at the Bangkok Motor Show in March. The Accord celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and you can relive memories via this through the years video.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Acura looks , I like :3
Hmmm Acura konon.
the new Perdana lg cantek laa
Honda messy engine bay cause from dinosaur vtech, parts join here join there wires hose connect here and there, not capable in further evolution, force to do so cause engine design failure issues that cannot be fixed. Oh sohai buy vtec dinosaur. .. seeing what skyactive direct injection & dual-turbo & Dual vvt-iW achieved
u dunno what u’re talking
Facelift sudah. Next gen pun spyshot sudah. Pondana? Tak boleh blah. Guna otak jangan sokong Proton melulu.
Perdana lagi cantik
Better wait for Accord Hyrbid
Bravo HM, now Pondana can bungkus already!
HMSB and Proton under DRB
HMSB not owned by DRB. DRB only shareholder of HMSB at 28%. check your facts before opening your lubang
The front is nice but the chromebar at the rear is eye-soaring.
Honda Malaysia finally launched the new Accord after 1 month plus when the pondana was launched.
So,if u have a budget of around rm140K,would you buy the latest 2.0 Accord OR the 2.4 Pondana?
If still addicted to old model Accord,might as well buy 2 units 2.0 ,5 year old Accord…do a mini overhaul with new leather seats/suspension…one for yourself ,another for your wife, at 134K for pondana 2.4.
In other words,the Pondana is going to stagnate.
If Honda Malaysia launched this latest Accord earlier than Pondana,Protong may only sell 500 units..mainly to Spanco,or gomen heads.
I believe P1 again kena whacked kau kau by this Accord and Bezza…..no end in sight for P1’s woes.
2.0 litre is underpower for D segmenter, unless turbocharged
it’s Perdana
D segment target group are people who earned more than 10k monthly.. which idiot tauke will buy 2nd hand accord and repair the car to go play golf with his business partner..
Whats with current civic and accord having mid rear seat hump? Its not like theres a AWD option, is right?
Din Civic FD have almost flat rear floor, so what happened?
no time to refine already.
need launch.
duno turbo got enough mileage tested for durability.
This Civic prolly got lower floor and stance to add stability hence the the rear hump got higher
the hump reserved for vacuum-tunnel-effect for upcoming civic type-RR
U mean they gonna install a suction device to increase downforce kah?
The 10th gen Civic will share platform with the upcoming new Accord and new CRV. And probably an Acura too. So that hump (which is not as high as a BMW RWD hump) might be for those cars. Or perhaps the next Civic Type R might be AWD, seeing that the Focus RS is also AWD.
The hump is more higher in civic, almost reach the base of the mid seat. If type r goes for AWD turbo, then all fans of pure NA can jump of bridge liao!
to save moulding cost la…it is honda, what do u expect?
The hump is because the car has been lowered, current CR-V although has AWD system has a almost flat floor. This is because the car is higher. I also recalled that Civic FB & FD has a almost flat floor too. Although the floor appears to be flat when you put your legs on top of where the transmission tunnel should be you still can feel that it is a transmission tunnel not a floor, it is hard and bumps up a little bit. Unless you are bringing long items on the floor, I don’t see a problem with that tiny hump compared to the huge hump on rwd sedan cars.
Its the same rims….only now they painted it dual tone…..
i shall paint mine then lol….
Still no real earthdreams engine… And stil da old 5speed auto…
100x more beautiful and better than the rubbish junk perdana.
The sales of facelift Honda Accord will surpass that of Proton Perdana by leaps and bounds even though Honda is more expensive.
I wonder why
Becoz it happens in ur dreams?
Honda sensing got ah?
Maybe not la. Makeup saja.
no Honda sensing, no remote start, Thailand version got both. HM double standard.
Any technical changes?
Perdana so how lar..?
Cheaper way if you like this car: just wait 4-5 years and this will be a rebadged Perdana.
Junk.
So basically just copy 5 series rear light, change the tone of the rims and call it a facelift?
well done Honda
What? No turbo? Then better bring in accord hybrid too
Dear potential buyers
Get the new Perdana instead. Why waste your hard earned money? Better still wait for the Accord hybrid.
This is what we call face lift, brilliant!
Thailand already launched Accord Hybrid, how about Bolehland?
MY can gip new paintjob and call it facelift just like P2. Cuz jepunis overlords, nobody will persoal.
