The 11th-generation Accord is far sleeker in design compared to its predecessor which is still currently sold in the ASEAN region. Just like the latest Civic FE, the all-new Accord looks more mature and cleaner which for a D-segment sedan is very suitable.

Though the Accord’s design patents are published in Indonesia, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that it will be launched there very soon. Currently, only one variant of the Accord is offered in the archipelago, the 1.5-litre Turbo which is imported (CBU) from Thailand and is priced at IDR 787.3 million (~RM 225k).

An 11th-gen Accord was spied in Thailand last month but despite being spotted in the Kingdom, its arrival won’t be so early too. As parts localisation work in Thailand is still ongoing, the upcoming Accord is likely to make its ASEAN debut at the Thai Motor Expo around November 2023.
Back in Malaysia, the outgoing 10th-gen Accord is still available in two variants:
- Honda Accord 1.5 TC – RM 187,400
- Honda Accord 1.5 TC-P – RM 197,400
