The 2024 Honda Accord mid-size sedan isn't going anywhere, with the 11th-generation model having just arrived in Australia, where it faces stiff competition from the uber-popular Toyota Camry, South Korea's Hyundai Sonata and Europe's Skoda Superb, while the similarly packaged Lexus ES lurks in the premium segment above.
Much like the Camry, the Accord is going hybrid-only with its new generation, with a 2.0-litre petrol four-cylinder engine combining with two electric motors and an electronic continuously variable automatic transmission (e-CVT) as part of its 'self-charging' powertrain.
But, of course, there's more to the latest Accord than what's under its bonnet. So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson gets behind the wheel of its one and only variant, the e:HEV RS, to see if it has what it takes to put a dint in the Camry's sales dominance.

In Australia from cars to properly everything is priced like its beverly hills hollywood, and everyone is millionaire. People are struggling to put food on table and here accord is priced at 64

I live in the US and just bought a 2024 Honda Accord ExL hybrid. The sticker on the vehicle was $34,540. But, the accord you reviewed has a panoramic sunroof and a few tech upgrades that the top touring model doesn’t have. Those upgrades aren’t even offered here in the states. But 64k for a Honda accord is quite steep.

@skytech168 26 дней назад

It is AUD so US would be about US$43,325. Luckily the U.S. has 6 trims while AU only 1 trim which is RS Hybrid. U.S. also a lot cheaper for the Touring Hybrid $38,890. Neighbouring country Indonesia selling at US$ 60,352 for the same spec RS Hybrid. I guess you are the lucky one also you have the 10th gen 2.0T and having coupes for the previous gens! Love the 9th gen coupe!!

A new fourth-generation hybrid powertrain will motivate the upper portion of the lineup. It's much the same as the hybrid system we first fell for in the 2024 Honda CR-V, with a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors.

$65k is insane. You can buy a brand new Mazda6/Camry for almost half the price! You can buy an i30 sedan hybrid for 35K (it's not that much smaller than the Accord dimention-wise). Honda needs to wake up! Their new cars look great but the prices are not competitive at all.

@skytech168 28 дней назад

True, but when someone is a fan and been owning every gen of Accord since the 6th gen also feeling good as hardly to see an Accord on the road especially with the same model and even close to impossible to see with the same colour.

No spare - deal breaker - of course honda sales say that - what else could they say? BS in australia not to mention whether the goo works and what it does to your tyre so you need a new tyre most of the time even for a small puncture because of the goo. The Honda customer that supposedly prefers the repair kit probably doesn’t know a lot about what happens after you get a puncture.

@daweigo6851 27 дней назад

Also the repair kit needs to be replaced after a puncture apparently

@jlaforteon1 27 дней назад

You can add a spare tire if you’d like. There is room for a spare tire and jack. I think the dealerships should have an option for the customer which one they want. I’m going to be purchasing a spare tire and jack for mine soon.

You have more trims, current U.S. model is 6 trims while we only have 1 trim. You have more fan base so the population is much higher and easy to find accessories especially China also LHD so for the interior accessories are much more variety.
