In Australia this car is worth $40k , that's 20 lakhs. It is ridiculous. India should really stop taxing so much on imported cars. Especially a car which doesn't pollute much
@@sushilb2008 No..it's somewhere close to 21 lakhs..and in the US the base Variant starts with 16 lakhs and goes up to 22-23 lakhs and this is most efficient Honda till date
Gotta love the difference of standards between the US and Indian automotive industry. This thing is something that kids get as a first car over here. But it is quite luxurious nonetheless, and India is steadily catching up. Can't wait to see what Indian domestic companies come up with to compete with these foreign mid-size sedans!
Danishkhan basharat ali wrong guess bro.. Showrooms would be craving to have one but unfortunately there are Not many stocks for customers itself due to over booking and as they are all imported cbu's the supply of Accord the global winner is a big challenge for honda india I believe..
I have driven Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata,elantra, Chevy, accord, kia alot in rental cars... Accord is the best sedan among all these I drove till now. Finally bought Accord sport. Happy with my purchase
When I heard that the new Accord will come with an expensive price tag, I thought the price would range somewhat between 24-28 lakhs (or maximum Rs. 30 lakhs). But I was in a state of shock when I realised the actual price of the sedan ! Rs. 40 lakhs for a Honda Accord !? Like really ?!! Sorry Honda, if one's budget is Rs. 40 lakhs or more, then he/she will opt for a Mercedes C-Class/ Audi A4 or a BMW 3 Series... Everyone will go for German luxury brand instead of paying such an hefty amount on a Honda !!!!
german is luxury but not reliability, that's why you will find used germans selling for cheap.Its a matter of reliability vs luxury which is not that bad in a honda as compared to germans
I would rather spend my buck on this efficient and practical product rather than spending on some German entry level luxury sedan that is sold more on it's name and fame in the market. Nice product by Honda and if fuel economy figures are as promised by the company, this definitely would be my pick
RoNN Motorhead see in a diesel dominated country like ours ..Honda's CR-V civic and the Accord still persists only due to raw power and the sheer driving pleasure of the gasoline engine units ... but the hybrid only introduction really kills the Accord from a drivers point ... only a very few go for hybrid vehicles ... atleast Honda sudve introduced a raw version ... if so it ll be my pick
mb the boss for that, they need new factories, equipments and employees.... what about that expenses? thats why they import. do you think honda's mad enough to put such high price? afterall its hybrid and thats some expensive tech 😂😂😂
The first model of Accord was a masterpiece.. no other newer versions were able to keep that same masculine look.. Companies should understand how to keep the masterpiece designs as it is.. like The Enfield Bike. I am sure if the designs were similiar to the first one then the sales would have been shot up.
Saravana Kumar I agree davesh .. it's the global 1. 4 TSI from the VW ... but it's rather tuned to produce produce more power and torque exactly as the Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI variant.. The engine alone is really a balanced performance and efficiency ...but u are extremely ryr ..if this engine is mated to an Audi a 4 ..a car of that price .. everything becomes real crap. infact the losers cudve planted the 1.8 TSI...
in china this car cost 200,000 yuan. which is equivalent to 20lakhs rupees. .but its selling at 45lakhs in india.To beat delhi pollution,govt should tax less on hybrid cars.
Pranav Kadambi you seems to have a lot of knowledge about Honda and their cars. keep it with you and don't spit stupidity. Honda being a Japanese manufacturer doesn't mean all their cars are made in japan. FYI, all the parts are exported to america from japan and china for the final production which adds up to the cost.
E55 BæMG yeah I know that dude but the problem is honda mostly price their vehicles little bit wrong whether it is a import or a local assemble car no doubt Honda make good cars but yeah let's see this time accord make its come back after long time in the Indian market
Akshay Kumar TBH, Honda doesn't care about the Indian market. Here in Dubai its dope AF. same thing with other foreign countries. To make a change, Indian government have to change.
the good thing is that the next big thing from Honda i.e., the new civic would come at a much cheaper price bracket, as the company would assemble that in India for sure!
yes you are correct .. see accord is a hybrid so combined power is 215 .. it doest mean that we getting flat 215 horses out of it .. the 2 ltr patrol of accord pumps out 143hp while skoda with a 1.8ltr turbo produces 180ps at much lower rev of 5000-6000 rpm along with 320/250 nm torque .. Moreover in accord hybrid we can derive power from a single engine at a time .. so in real life the superb be the best performer ... u jst see how the superb tsi beats the equally 215hp powerd camey in acceleration.. However this accord is not a performance car .. atleat it sud had as performance non hybrid variant too
Works well as a tech demonstrator but considering that the engine doesn't power the wheels and only the battery I was expecting more in terms of fuel efficiency, like close to 30kmpl atleast.
In 2008 when I saw Jannat movie I have love for this car since then.. it was 18lakhs base model at that time now I think its too pricey.. even if I'm rich I'm not buying this plus they it is looking over..
Why don't some go for AUDI or BMW in this price bracket.. Seems to be Honda has focused high end users with some power packs added. not for all premium buyers.
This is gonna be a dud seller... might barely sell any units per month considering the funny pricing.. won't be shocked of Honda pull this out soon from the market just like the previous gen car.
Under Indias driving conditions, you are not gonna get the claimed efficiency of 23kmpl. Expected is 11-14 kmpl since the non hybrid version gets 7kmpl. Honda has taken a bad decision by not bringing the diesel. Its an awesome car but... This isn't the middle east.. Diesel engines have better market value in India than petrol and hybrids. The price is too high to compete with segment leader Toyota camry.
If you only use it for weekend then mileage is not important. People forget 1 lakh for maintaining mercedes or bmw annually. Accord is very practical, it can be used as daily driver and luxury both.
4.5 years. Haven't seen one Accord on road.
In Australia this car is worth $40k , that's 20 lakhs.
It is ridiculous. India should really stop taxing so much on imported cars.
Especially a car which doesn't pollute much
Agree with you
40 k $ means nearly 30 lakhs in india.
agree
H P Make in India all other manufacturers even Ford , Yamaha , KiA make in India . Why Honda importing as CBU .
@@sushilb2008 No..it's somewhere close to 21 lakhs..and in the US the base Variant starts with 16 lakhs and goes up to 22-23 lakhs and this is most efficient Honda till date
Only place I have seen this car, is in the reviews!!!
Gotta love the difference of standards between the US and Indian automotive industry. This thing is something that kids get as a first car over here.

40 lakhs 😈? i think Honda just wants to keep there showrooms beautiful with the accord on display..
Danishkhan basharat ali honda get alot more buyers internationally. so no big deal
Danishkhan basharat ali wrong guess bro.. Showrooms would be craving to have one but unfortunately there are Not many stocks for customers itself due to over booking and as they are all imported cbu's the supply of Accord the global winner is a big challenge for honda india I believe..
cars in india are always expensive ... no idea why , i bought used honda accord for 5 lakh 2012
same car costs around 15 lacs in usa what is the extra cost are they importing or what
a b its just the problems in the taxes and politics in india
I have driven Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata,elantra, Chevy, accord, kia alot in rental cars... Accord is the best sedan among all these I drove till now. Finally bought Accord sport. Happy with my purchase
Video was uploaded 8 years from Today but I really miss this car I want Civic, Jazz, BRV, CRV, Accord, Brio, WRV, Mobilio back in India
45 lakh for an accord? Laughable.
C class over this anyday.
kingraghavsahni Audi A4 BMW 3-Series too maybe bit more but always better than Honda
Where you'll spend most of your time in the dealership while you pay for it to be fixed... Cool
kingraghavsahni too dull and fancy experimental tech - 45 L is too much
honda and mercedes are same price in india
kingraghavsahni because it is imported ... not assembled here
More than 40? What!!!
It will barely be able to compete with the Superb and the Camry.
Bhagyesh Parekh to Camry yes ..but superb ..it's a different story ... superb sort of performance and luxury
Camry is for 46 thou

Srayan Dhar truth
german is luxury but not reliability, that's why you will find used germans selling for cheap.Its a matter of reliability vs luxury which is not that bad in a honda as compared to germans
The price you mentioned ,they are releasing Honda civic
But BMW 3 series is a sexy car then again its heavier on your pockets
That's why not much Honda Accord on roaf
10 times better than previous version
Amazing looks, tech. Great mixture of luxury and practicality. If Honda can make this car in India and not import it should get cheaper too.
I really liked the old Civic's dash layout
I would rather spend my buck on this efficient and practical product rather than spending on some German entry level luxury sedan that is sold more on it's name and fame in the market. Nice product by Honda and if fuel economy figures are as promised by the company, this definitely would be my pick
RoNN Motorhead But the Camry Hybrid also costs a lot less. Honda fucked up the pricing.
RoNN Motorhead sure. I agree.. this is the best pick for hybrid lovers... but from a viewpoint of enthusiastis ... this won't be the pick ...
RoNN Motorhead see in a diesel dominated country like ours ..Honda's CR-V civic and the Accord still persists only due to raw power and the sheer driving pleasure of the gasoline engine units ... but the hybrid only introduction really kills the Accord from a drivers point ... only a very few go for hybrid vehicles ... atleast Honda sudve introduced a raw version ... if so it ll be my pick
RoNN Motorhead get Swedish brand.. Volvo
😉
40 lakh??? Wtf Honda
40-45 L ?!
Ok..... I’m fine with Ciaz alpha.
Sx4 better than ciaz
Same here 😁😁
The pricing was the only let down.
rohan shari what do you expect from an imported american car then?
i want it to be produced here to get the price cuts , if it is arround 30laks then the car would be the best sellin car in its segment
mb the boss for that, they need new factories, equipments and employees.... what about that expenses? thats why they import. do you think honda's mad enough to put such high price? afterall its hybrid and thats some expensive tech 😂😂😂
That's ORR in Hyderabad!
Proud to be a Hyderabadi!
Most awaited car! The best hybrid so far... ❤️
I din find the new accord on the road.
Same here... Not even a single one
The first model of Accord was a masterpiece.. no other newer versions were able to keep that same masculine look.. Companies should understand how to keep the masterpiece designs as it is.. like The Enfield Bike. I am sure if the designs were similiar to the first one then the sales would have been shot up.
Thanks Honda. For giving us a classic example of product failure due to pricing!
It's more bcoz of taxes than pricing
Love the car but the same thing is expensive instead the audi A4 is a better option
one can get a Merc E 250 for 48 lakhs on road!
Devesh Jai Singh A4 is more expensive bro! :)
Devesh Jai Singh Sadly, the new A4 lacks a punchy petrol motor, it has a puny 1.4 TSi from jetta base variant!
Honda will outshine the audi in low maintenance costs.
Saravana Kumar I agree davesh .. it's the global 1. 4 TSI from the VW ... but it's rather tuned to produce produce more power and torque exactly as the Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI variant.. The engine alone is really a balanced performance and efficiency ...but u are extremely ryr ..if this engine is mated to an Audi a 4 ..a car of that price .. everything becomes real crap. infact the losers cudve planted the 1.8 TSI...
Did anyone buy this car in India? Haven't seen a single accord on the road in 7 years
renuka kriplani... my favourite car reviewer!!
Deep Banerjee
Yep she does a good job
in china this car cost 200,000 yuan. which is equivalent to 20lakhs rupees. .but its selling at 45lakhs in india.To beat delhi pollution,govt should tax less on hybrid cars.
I buy acoord and i like that
Where is the battery and how much is the trunk space?
Hi Renuka, can you please do a comparison with the Camry Hybrid highlighting both cars features, fuel efficiency and comfort please.
where is shooting location? is it near ORR Hyderabad!!!
what is overall mileage of this car ?
Always for a second hand Accord FTW 🔥
Second hand Honda Accord always costs around 10-15 lakhs
3lakh u need??
what will be ur pick ... the Camry hybrid or accord hybrid
Cyril Matthew ofcourse the Camry hybrid.
Cyril Matthew Camry.
Cyril Matthew BMW 3 Series
accord.
Cyril Matthew I
really good 😁 is it launched in India?
shivaji Bhosale yes
pricing again wrong from Honda
Akshay Kumar its made in america dude. its an import. so obviously expect it to be expensive
its made in japan. get your facts straight
Pranav Kadambi you seems to have a lot of knowledge about Honda and their cars. keep it with you and don't spit stupidity.

Vtech just kicked in yo
except it didn"t.
except it was only the battery that kicked in
105% duty xD
I don't like that front wide chrome grill on honda cars.
I would rather a pre-owned 2017 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR V6 over this. Nothing beats it's V6 engine.
Skoda superb is the king of hearts probably it seems the jack of spades
Is it better than my scoda Superb ?
It's *Skoda*
price?
the good thing is that the next big thing from Honda i.e., the new civic would come at a much cheaper price bracket, as the company would assemble that in India for sure!
how's the performance when compared to speed 1.8tsi
Cyril Matthew This has more HP than the 1.8 TSI engine in Skoda/VW.
yes you are correct .. see accord is a hybrid so combined power is 215 .. it doest mean that we getting flat 215 horses out of it .. the 2 ltr patrol of accord pumps out 143hp while skoda with a 1.8ltr turbo produces 180ps at much lower rev of 5000-6000 rpm along with 320/250 nm torque ..

However this accord is not a performance car .. atleat it sud had as performance non hybrid variant too
HIMANSHU JAIN and the hybrid only version makes a serious con for enthusiasts
Stupid pricing !
Abhinav Jain lol. i see alot of people complaining about the pricing! seriously what do you expect from an imported american vehicle? meh
Abhinav Jain American vehicle 😂😂😂
Luv jadwani what's there to laugh about it? haven't heard about america before?
E55 BæMG Umm..probably because Honda ain't American?
When are we getting 3.5 litre v6 variant?
Are you willing to pay crores?
Why isn't this model easily available in used car market?
I notice every time,the arm rest is useless for you in almost every car 😅
I will buy 1 BHK instead 😊
Amazing
Works well as a tech demonstrator but considering that the engine doesn't power the wheels and only the battery I was expecting more in terms of fuel efficiency, like close to 30kmpl atleast.
Honda is always for brand
Is the American made? or Japanese made?
Good car . It's not only about price, but the better technology
my car!!
I like the accord but
the accord is 48 lack in Sundaram Honda in Tamil nadu
hey mam how much its price and how many model is in their can u please send me the grouches for the shown all model specification in the details....
Nobody talks about the Civic
Ranjeev Joseph struggle is real bro....#hope soon
Ranjeev Joseph 2019 finally!!
it's America's most favorite brand
It is way more better and luxury than a bmw 5 series
When will the new honda civic be launched in india?
this car looks stunning
In 2008 when I saw Jannat movie I have love for this car since then.. it was 18lakhs base model at that time now I think its too pricey.. even if I'm rich I'm not buying this plus they it is looking over..
@autocar Honda Accord Hybrid Vs Toyota Camry hybrid much awaited video
Is Honda civi come to India
Where to charge this car
Why not have a chargeable battery in it?
If this had been with petrol engine and significant torque.it would be an amazing vehicle
215hp is more than enough! its not an e55 amg after all 😂
Modiji, please make in India 🙏🏻
Why are the wheels so small on a 40L car?
Most reliable luxory sedan
I have a Honda Civic hybrid... this car is worth every dollar..
hopefully iam waiting for the Vw Passat GTE hybrid
Good car but I wonder if anyone has even bough it considering the options available at it's price!
Why don't some go for AUDI or BMW in this price bracket.. Seems to be Honda has focused high end users with some power packs added. not for all premium buyers.
40 lakhs+ for a honda, u gotta be kidding me !!
please please make a comparison between superb accord and campry
Please do some automatic hatchback variants like Maruti Suzuki or Honda or hyundai
this is shooted in Hyderabad damn look at our ORR#👍
Such a beautiful road !
Yashank Desai lol
Please make the comparison of Honda accord and Skoda superb
This is gonna be a dud seller... might barely sell any units per month considering the funny pricing.. won't be shocked of Honda pull this out soon from the market just like the previous gen car.
You are one of the best car reviewer of one of the best review channel thankyou for such a detailed review
what about new jaguar xf, when autocar will make the first review of it
hope new civic is locally assembled
looks much better than the prius and same 40L is way to high
Glad to see that the new Accord Hybrid is doing well in India. Great video. Thanks!
vs Superb ?
Awesome review. Interior is great. Value for money. Look like luxurious car. Also compare with audi and b. M. W. Cars...
front grill looks more like Acura
still better than entry level mercs,audi n bmw
Hey.... this is shot in Hyderabad
Give me a reason why i should choose Accord over Audi A4 , Mercedes C class or Bmw 3 series ..........Exactly wrong pricing from Honda .......
Himanshu Sharma actually there is no reason to buy
This car would be great if the EV range was atleast 50-100 kms.
3 series is the better option. For Indian money Accord is 12 lacs in US.
Under Indias driving conditions, you are not gonna get the claimed efficiency of 23kmpl. Expected is 11-14 kmpl since the non hybrid version gets 7kmpl.
Honda has taken a bad decision by not bringing the diesel.
Its an awesome car but... This isn't the middle east..
Diesel engines have better market value in India than petrol and hybrids.
The price is too high to compete with segment leader Toyota camry.
Thariq Aziz watch out for superb
Honda thought Tesla was already available in India and therefore priced it so ridiculously high!
23.1kmpl!!!!! R u sure autocar? So it will easily return 18-19 on highway.
One who'll spend 40lakhs doesn't care much about mileage.
If you only use it for weekend then mileage is not important. People forget 1 lakh for maintaining mercedes or bmw annually. Accord is very practical, it can be used as daily driver and luxury both.
Possible because it’s hybrid.
For everyone complaining about 40 lakh price, buy a maruthi and enjoy driving
40lakhs in India.. while in US its 25k$ which is 17lakhs.
