Honda picked their new Silicon Valley facility as the location to unveil their new 2016 Honda Accord, a model which they say is the most high-tech Honda Accord ever.
Both the sedan and coupe will be facelifted, but the initial image set released by Honda only shows the sedan, which is good for us anyway since we only get the sedan in Malaysia. Details on the facelifted Accord Hybrid will come later.
Exterior-wise, the new 2016 Honda Accord gets a more sharply creased front bumper with outside edges that tuck into intake-like meshed areas that house new LED fog lights. The new jewelled headlamps are very Acura-esque.
There’s also a new aluminum hood features sharper character lines. In the rear, the Accord gets restyled LED taillights and a similarly aggressive rear bumper fascia redesign.
In terms of safety features, the Honda Sensing suite is now available on the Accord. This includes Collision Mitigation Braking System with Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Honda Sensing is optional on all trim levels except the Touring trim where it is standard. Other safety features include a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, an and auto high-beam headlamps.
There are big changes with the infotainment system – it now supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The US market press release says the Accord which is due for an August market launch will continue with the existing engine line-up there, which is a direct injected 2.4 litre paired to a CVT gearbox and a 3.5 litre V6 paired to a six-speed auto.
This means it could be the same for our market – the 2.0 or 2.4 litre engines paired to a five-speed auto should continue.

Sickening to read your stupid rants on kimchi cars. Who the hell cares abt your stupid opinion? It’s our bloody money not yours so piss off and get a life.
Too shy to get Proton/Perodua, but not rich enough to get Japanese car? Kimchi cars are the best option. The elantra is cheaper than my Vios.
If got hair who wanna be botak?
He and his family probably has Kimchi phone, TVs, Washing Machine, fridge, air-con, his wife watch Kimchi TV drama and went Kimchi land for plastic surgery, his daughter watch K-Pop.
Still no earth dream turbo engine? Sigh
“The showrooms are now empty. Usually during Ramadan, it’s filled up. Not this year,” Mursyidul Azam Mahruz, a sales advisor with Korean car brand KIA Motors, told Malay Mail Online.
Income of less than RM3K normally drive Daihatsu/Toyota re-badge 3 cylinder car.
Eh.. i give you RM65K, you go buy one for me.
2010-2011 Altis baru jual at RM67K.
You Hyundai salesman is it?
You go and check at mudah lor. Only Same Lorrrr came here and talk about trade-in value, not selling price.
Stupid la this kington… 2013 altis asking only 58k haven’t even nego yet. Easily 55k only. Trade in price is 50k at most. Please update yourself. Don’t be stuck in 2013. Go and see oto and mudah.
Good cheese doesn’t come cheap, greenhorn! Talking about Mudah used car ads. You surely can get 2013 Altis at 58k. TOO GOOD to be true? It’s most likely a car with bad bad histories. Flooded, salvage car, theft recovered, or even blood strained. Not to mention an extra 10k charges for processing fees, and probably you need to pay cash because no bank will accept it.
People buy this type of cars normally go for comfort in riding and not to smoke anybody.
If you want to ‘smoke’ just go for Proton Satria lah.
us is big. us market also big. so it can be cheaper to produce. final price cheaper.
malaysia market small. not enough volume to make it cheaper.
bangang punya statement..
There will be plenty of smoke coming out of a K5 that tries to keep up with an Accord
an acura with AMG wheels..
I dont think the exterior design has changed much and the rims are boring…honda should learn from Toyota the camry hybrid rims are sexier. Anyway people will still buy it bcoz Honda produce good quality cars…
I’m glad that Honda is letting those high-tech stuff found in Acura to trickle down to the Honda models, but unfortunately this has been a problem to Honda, as it makes Acura models redundant.
It is now an even stronger contender in its segment.
Copy cat! The front bumper is obviously copy of AMG design! Lol…how about the DRL? Real copycat this Honda!
hmmm, at first glance it does look like it has copied some Merc characteristics…on second look, it definitely has copied some shapes from the Merc, especially the E-class.
Actually for me most Honda models was inspired by BMW. If you look at City, it copied every single BMW 3 and 5. This Accord rear lights are of BMW 5 series.
but it is still a HONDA. not premium brands like Mercedes Benz & BMW. Back off Honda! Stop copycat other designs!
Acura not selling well, but when those techs that only Acura will have are passed down to Honda, you know that – hot cake seller.
The rear lights looks Camry-ish. Anyway it’s still the top contenders in its segment!
The current model front grill is okay already but only neeed minor chenges i.e modulo grill with all chrome includ the upper part which currently painted black

this accord coming in Q3 2016. CONFIRM SOURCE.
Sure or not???
another year?
Honda really amazing with these features. Design extremely awesome. Very luxurious looks.
Wow, looks expensive, the overall looks is a bit like Mercedes.
nail to the coffin for Camry? ya, i see more Accord than Camry now..
grill ugly.bumper copy mercedes. rear nice.
NEXTT!!!
To be honest, the changes don’t really make the car look beter (but not uglier either). But it is slightly different, that is all. The pre-facelift car was a handsome car to begin with, so not that much can be done to improve it without going for a full model cycle change. This is unlike the Civic facelift which was a huge change for the better, but which sadly will never reach Malaysia as the next generation is due soon.
does the V6 accord still available here in malaysia ?
No more I think. The last Accord V6 seen here was from 2 generations ago. Mighty fast though the current Accord V6. 0-100km/h is dispatched in less than 6 secs for the coupe version.
Mercedes want their rims back
“This includes Collision Mitigation Braking System with Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control.”
NONE of these features are offer by the Camry, even in duty free pricing… If the Malaysian Accord offers just a few of those, that already shows how competitive Accord is to their rival, while camry still bragging about their latest has VSC… ha.
The headlights look very audi matrix style. awesome.
Yes, having more safety features definitely a big plus. However, in real life traffic, having motorcycles weaving in and out in front of you is going to trigger auto braking , and our driving style of changing lanes rapidly according to traffic flow will trigger lane departure warning, so the drive might become jerky and noisy with repeated warning buzzles. So I expect most drivers are going to switch off the sensors and features. My wish list will be a front camera so I can avoid hitting the kerb, and maintaining the current minimum 6 airbags, VSA, side cameras, and an upgrade of gearbox to 6 or more ratios, or a good CVT.
this new accord design makes it look like the premium Acura which is good..the rims makes it look sporty which some people may dislike but it should have some other rim options
cant wait to see in flesh when it comes here
Interior looks cheap . HEck the exterior looks like the previous generation Accord . i’d pass .
nice headlight, but why the hell still with hand brake?
None of the pictures posted here show a handbrake actually. Anyways, the Malaysian Accord has had a foot operated parking brake since the current generation’s launch from 2 years ago.
It’s in the video
R.I.P Camry
love the new facelifted exterior 10x more than the current one. it’s way sexier and more sophisticated!
Japanese just can’t get away with chrome!
Wow this is a ‘facelift’!? It looks amazing to be honest! The rim design is a problem however.
Genuinely like the front and rear. (The current rear already looks good btw)
Awesome design.
So they changed quite a bit for the FL which only makes the car even better. My only gripe is with the headlight design – it looks like some insect’s eyes now.
Definitely better than your Myvi.
got a feeling may return to the 90s of
1) Accord over Camry
2) Civic over Corolla (altis)
+ modern age of
3) City over Vios (City looks better and better)
4) HRV over nothing (this is a killer)
5) CRV over Rav4 (thanks to UMW stupid price of a good car)
wait, UMW still got Hilux and Hybrid, but Hybrid is killed by the G..
Short UMW share price for this year..
Obvious changes to the exterior but they are some subtle changes to the interior too if you spot carefully. The centre console has been redesigned slightly (look at the air con controls, air con vents and) and the MID is now high res with a smaller but sleeker 7.7in screen. I hope that Honda Malaysia will bring new 2.0 EarthDreams DI engine with new transmission (CVT or 7 speed dual clutch) instead on maintaining status quo.
No earthdreams, no cvt/7 speed no party!
Proton CVT got lots of negative feedback, AUDI CVT too have complaint for reliability.
so Honda is good to offer Torque Converter auto. but make it 6-7 auto gear lol
