Having skipped Malaysia, the 2024 Honda Accord has now sailed into Thailand, previewed for the market earlier today. Taking on the Toyota Camry in a market segment that only has the two of them competing against each other, the 11th generation Accord comes with a whole lot of newness. Three variants will be on offer, but they'll all be hybrid-only. The range and their estimated prices are as follows: E: Not more than THB 1.53 mil (RM 196k) EL: Not more than THB 1.67 mil (RM 214k) RS: Not more th

Curiously, the price list is marked as 'Estimated' but checks with dealers reveal that the prices are inclusive of SST. Despite less than four months remaining for Malaysians to take advantage of the Sales Tax (SST) exemption for new cars, expect carmakers and distributors to update new prices to include SST in the coming months.
