Excellent review. I enjoy your commentaries. Incisive and knowledgeable. World class and M'sian. Thanks again.
Good review on it...and fair reviews all around. Appreciate them Matt.
I know many people who choose to switch to the 7th gen just because of looks and how the newer or rather the 8th and 9th gen’s were too much of an uncles car. This new version has most of my friends attention. They like the sporty look of the car and how it handles. Ofcourse, id have the Mazda 6 😅
Dude, your commentary is amazing. Thanks.
Really really liked the way you review. Definitely subscribing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
Camry design makin berjiwa muda, Accord pula makin ke arah jiwa abah2.
Abah zaman sekarang pun xnak dah 🤣
MisbinH yg mana jauh lagi better?
Transparent review. Great Matt👍👍👍.
Matthew, please can you let us know where does it stack up compared to the older Kia Optima gt or Mazda 6?
Great review! But Overall design of car can be better... More better choices out there as well?
See a few on the road. Look very similar to civic in front view and size. No special appearance that can be an attraction. So pity. People can not notice this is new accord model. Previous generation has better look.
Agreed,outdated design in and out
CKD + 1.5T engine for this price, is been so overpriced and been seen inside the quality build, is super rough what I can said, until now barely c camry on road n this accord none at all
Miss the days D seg starts at rm140k. Its ridiculous now.
For a car with nearly rm200k, camry consider quite many on the road. Accord tail light just look too ugly...
Not worth the money. It should priced below 150K. Accord and Camry already RIP. Smart customers wont go for this cars for this price tag.
suv craze..and inflation
so im not the only one NOT seeing any new accord otr
0:38
Paultan: Got that?
Cameraman: Got it.
Maybe driving an SUV seems to be trendy (even I own one) nowadays but make no mistake, SUV are mostly elevated hatchbacks. What load I can’t fit in my SUV fits in my D segment easily plus a bit more.
Does the Honda Sensing in here do the stop and follow as per the CRV? the civic's honda sensing does not do start and stop.
being using it almost 2 months, what I can said is, its fun to drive and with impressive handling and top notch safety... interior doesnt feel cheap as it has lots of soft touch... the steering wheel feel so gOod and its spacious and comfortable for long Journey... spec sheet wise, its the best between all D segment below rm200k! u get LED headlights, DRL’s, front fog light and rear tail lights, full suites of Honda Sensing safety features, tyre pressure monitoring system, active parking assist, 360 degree camera, Honda LaneWatch, dual zone climate ctrl airconds with rear vents, apple carplay and android auto, electric rear control front seats, electric front seats with driver’s memory, 18 inch alloy wheels, side windows blinds, keyless entry with walk away auto lock and so on...
its 19inch bro
This is the owner review, more convincing.
I think the accord is doing good this round, it has the best safety features between all D segment. I believe safety features is one of the most critical aspects nowadays. I think Pussat is the worse among them and even Camry does not equip with a complete set of ACC.
@@CLo-qp7uq Do you really think without active safety is like end of world? Let me share with you what I encountered with the so called advance safety feature the AEB.
When I try to cut out from middle to right lane, I gave more throttle while turning and overtaking (don't tell me we should leave at least a car distance before cutting out as 99% people not doing so). At that point of time the AEB sense too close to the car in front of me (in middle lane) and my car JAM BRAKE itself. At this moment the right lane car from behind stunned as I am blocking the middle and right lane at very slow speed. They gonna jam brake for me if not will bang on my car. Another incident the car in front of me run very slow and my car approaching fast and close, AEB should work on that time but unfortunately it didn't work. When I realise it was too late even though I press the brake hardly, my car still kiss the front vehicle. So don't expect AEB will work all time. FYI my car is using radar based AEB which has higher accuracy than perodua camera based.
@@CLo-qp7uq beside the ACC usefully only in highway but sometimes it is annoying too. In high speed no matter how close we set the ACC if above 100km/h the car will keep at least almost 3 cars distance. Typical Malaysia driver when there is a gap of "3 cars" there are always got hero slot in the middle of 2 cars. If AEB working the car will jam brake as it sense a vehicle in front of us too close. If AEB unable to work on time and driver didn't notice, an accident is expected to happen.
Unless Malaysian change their driving behavior if not we will have to keep monitor the ACC and AEB.
The car maker may think the halogen bulb is a small deal but it is an important factor when I’m deciding between CX5 and cx30. The last thing I want is the car already outdated the moment it comes out from the factory.
Dear Matt. How about the smart parking assist? Why didn't you demonstrate on how it works? Is it like bmw parking assist or the one in Ford focus titanium plus?
Hi matt, is it more fun to drive than Kia Forte??
Civic ketam, Accord stapler. Very easy to identify...
Why you didn't mention the memory seat?
Hello Matthew.. Any answer on the smart parking assist?
So Camry or accord? Or passat? Tks
Did you know that the stapler light behind accord is from honda nsx racing car
i damn like this guy doing car review.
a little gagap
great review matt! loving the jokes 😁
overall a great looking car but still cant deny the rear lamps looked like a stapler....
exactly! hahaha
My view is this new model Accord is very unique and something newness compared to the previous model of accord more likely to adapt like BMW model design. This one is real from Honda. Nice one Honda and hope you will improvise more on your technology and market value.
Honda Accords never break down, unbeatable and stable on the highway. the only problem is that it drinks too much petrol and the glass windows fall into the door after a while. I had two for 16 yrs
D segment pros and cons
1. Camry - Built quality, reliable ride, slowest, old powertrain
2. Accord - Super spacious, full safety features, boring interior, poor finishing (big gap)
3. Mazda 6 - Premium interior, sporty design, poor space, most expensive
4. Passat - Powerful, digital cockpit with high res infotainment, lack of active safety features, uncertain after sales service
Ride and handling is really subjective, there are people like Mazda 6 with it solid ride doing great in taking corner. Some like Passat firmer ride to give genuine German feel where some like Camry with its compromise comfort while good handling with new chassis. No clue on Honda but as usual Honda is capable to takes sharp corner without hesitate.
Dude... Should add
. Camry - expensive roadtax with low torque.
Accord. - cheap roadtax
@@muhamadrosly4058 people who afford for these D segment car don't mind the roadtax. But it is true Camry is low torque. Now being laughed by New City IMMD.
Good reviews bro...nice car
Bro...pls tell me what mic u r using?
The music for this video so nice matching for car video. Can make ppl feel like the car.
"what la dey?"
thats funny. i like it !
and wtf also honda?
Nice
I got one. But I'm in the US. MSRP here is $24.695 USD. Harga mahal kat Malaysia.
The reason Camry and Accord prices shoot up mainly attributed by extremely strong Thai Baht. In past 10 years Baht increase 30%, while Euro is only 11% raised. Honda and Toyota cars mostly from Thailand and German car mostly direct from Europe (CKD parts mostly from Europe). The currency exchange has benefited to European car and weaken the Japanese car.
Just like others said nearly 200k might as well top up a bit to get the C Class or 320i (both pre reg is about 220k). Or maybe buy the pre reg Passat Elegance at price of 160k, save up 30k++.
160k is new passat elegance, not pre reg
Nappa leather seat and 5 spokes alloy wheel are strong selling points for me. 👍
Good review
Matt, how is the driving experience compared to the Mazda6? More fun and better handling?
if u hear cleary from this review, Matthew did said that if u want a drive it urself and having fun, this Accord is better than Camry...
@@jasonkimiey4253 i think you missed the question. He is comparing accord to mazda 6, not camry. I think for japanese car manufacturers, mazda always comes in the top in handling and fun to drive department. Jinba-itai, you know.
@@jasonkimiey4253 err....@Yew B Tang refers to Mazda 6.
@@jasonkimiey4253 Once people drive turbocharge or turbodiesel, they will never want to return back to na. And ya, Accord expectedly more fun to drive than camry due to turbo engine.
Ive nvr driven the accord and mazda 6, but I have driven the mazda 3 and civic. The mazda 3 has slightly better nvh and handling, but stiffer ride. Civic is more balanced all rounder. Go for accord if u want an all rounder, and mazda 6 for handling
ive seen new c200 otr more then Accord and Camry combine
in fact ive only saw this accord ONCE otr since launch
I like this, hailing from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Ya mon, is a mad ting
Wa this review no give face at all. Nice!!
Nice car, sad it aint come to Norway.
Civic has the same 1.5T as the Accord but the latter punches more ponies and torque. How so?
Yes, they use the same engine, but the Accord gets a bigger turbocharger.
Is there even a Accord on the road?? I've seen more Camry and Passat F/L
(I haven't seen any new Accord since launch)
so pity, i already look several unit at JB town, look nicer & modern, ohhh forgot accord just launch very before MCO
I have, but it was silver in colour so it might probably be Matthew doing his test drive. I guess that doesn't count lol.
I've seen many Accord in Pegoh everyday
Yes. People more interested on camry and passat than this. Even it is on the road, sometime we can not notice it becoz it look similar to civic .
Bcs its ugly
With its price, it should be distinguished far from the Civic. At least with sun roof, power boot and smart voice control system. Plus.. premium surround sound system too.
50k difference from Civic 1.5 TC-P, I agree your statement
Seat with memory and smart parking assist is already good.. But the steering should come up with electric adjustment and also auto opening tailgate.
9:00 - Vocals/Center speaker. It sounds like the system is in some sort of Surround mode. review the owners manual and see if there's way to turn off surround, go back to regular left-right stereo.
16:15 - Steering: Light and direct because #1. giant, wide wagon wheels they put on the cars nowadays, 'low profile' tires. Vague - becuase it's electric! Cold tire pressure(before car is driven) should be no higher than 2.3 Bar (33psi). Any higher, and I've found that steering becomes like driving on ICE!
I will try to buy and drive 2012 or earlier Accords for as long as possible, with their heavier conventional steering.
how long can that DRL last? lol . current accord 9 out of 10 are has their DRL broken
Damn true... As the 9th Gen owner.. Also the disc brake problem... Looks like never solved.
So. What to call this 10th Gen Accord?
Accord Stapler it is
Very strange that you think the Passat is more fun to drive. Drove both and the steering accuracy and feel is much better in the Accord.
I wondered why there are so hard to see this new accord on the road unlike the previous accords and the new camry, mazda, and passat. Now I know why ...
How much is the cargo space?
570 liter
The only thing I like about the Honda accord is housing the steering wheels and the space at the back seats. Nothing else. WV Passat have started to really gaining market shares in Msia
It is true, after Camry and Accord priced nearly 200k Passat is indirectly benefited. VW Malaysia best selling car is Tiguan follow by Passat. Reason is both models using wet clutch which is miles reliable than others dry clutch model.
and more business for mechanics
Housing of steering wheel? How is it different from other cars maybe like Camry or Passat?
i can put an AMG badge on the steering silver trim there...
Pagoh, melaka?
Living in USA It’s strange for me hearing you say Camry being the superior and how Accord doesn’t even come close to that!
Well could be due to the version you guys get, but have a look at the 2.0T Accord touring and compare with the Camry XLE here. Handling and technology vise Camry doesn’t even come close to the Accord.
We don’t get the 2.0T with 10 speed auto. We get 1.5T with CVT. so now u know.
To be fair we don’t get the V6 in the Camry. Just the 2.5 4 cylinder.
Car prices here are mad due to taxes and duties.
Looks like Bane got tired of fighting Batman and got into Automotive Journalism
At least provide 2.0 turbo, what la give same cc engine as civic but the price charge higher. What is the difference? Legroom? O please!!
Think of it like a budget Audi A7. Camry stupid give JBL but no apple carplay or Android auto, am I supposed to use CD?!? Also Honda give LED map lights to CRV but halogen map lights from 2000s to Accord🤷
In my opinion the previous model looks better especially at the rear view.
rear light should be full led at this price tho...
I dont really like fastback and this one adui.. that very Volvo s90 rear light
Why is it so much hate for this car?
Accord in the 80's were sportback
Tail lamp , pls Honda, first civic than accord?
take it and go..
Wow fantastic I like Honda
1.5Turbo Malaysia spec is Better than Thai spec. have hondasensing 360camera so good.
In Thai spce for hybrid only to get honda sensing.
camry can blame thai made n tax over the cbu status....but accord assembled in malacca selling same price? to cover higher manufacturing cost due to covid 19?
To cover the manufacturing cost due to low demand and couldn't achieve high economic of scale.
Haiyaaa..Rear tail lamp looks like big 'stepler' laaa..😂😂😂
unker Roger Haiyaa keep rolling in my mind haha..
U want ketam or stepler 😂
Why it looks like a Forester sedan from the back 😅
Already look outdated inside and out 😓
Yeahh i agree with you.... The display screen just looks like some bmw and merc car ...even proton saga also have that kind of those and the gear shifter also looks lame with just cup holder
Thaths basically a 10th gen Civic sedan/4doors.
i see.. he is stress with the new accord hahahaha
Kereta atuk modal tahun 2022 honda accord...camry lagi cantik
No wonder we see more Camry on the road 😂
Better option than Thailand version.
Seems like the Passat is the king of the D segment now.
Back = 90% looks like previous civic
The real design no way la... 🤣🤣
Still feel that the 8th gen accord is the best looking accord.
Another bigger hokkien mee prawn stall rear light🦐
Woah never imagined until you mentioned 😂
Those rear lights tho...
Who says Accord is competing for Camry? We know that City can take care of it
Even though i love Honda and I owned a full options 2004 Honda Accord back on 2004, however, I don't think I will own a new Honda, at least in the near future. A car for this price (155K SAR in Saudi Arabia) still has outdated features, such lights. I mean how much would it cost Honda to add LED lighting to the interior?, not to mention the cheap plastic......Sorry Honda, no buy in,,,,
Front side looks okay, but rear side is kinda ugly. Previous gen rear is the best. For its technology it’s good.
I have Honda City, also recent Honda CRV, all experience POOR FITTING !!!
Feature is good, but the fitting the SUPPER POOR.... Arm rest clicking sound, air ventilation sound, roof linnning 3 time visit for duration 1 year to fix. later follow by steering wheel turn sound. Many more problem to list. The car less than 15k mileage and city drive... WHAT the Fxxk honda malaysia doing?? My experience last time bought crv in China has 5 star out of 5. Same brand product Honda Malaysia is like this..... closure compartment sound above video showing is common happen in honda malaysia.
Japanese car design is too fussy now.
The Passat is much better looking to be honest. Say what you want about its "boring" exterior, but it's definitely much better looking in the long run.
Should bring in 2.0T. Disappointing still 1.5T
who gonna pay the 250k price for Accord?
the price would be over whelming
Honda Malaysia scared history will be repeated. So, no bring Honda Accord 2.0t
and no hybrid durhhhh
Yeah this dude will not answer my question..nevermind dude.. thanks a lot
Haahahahahahahahahaha died at rear armrest 😂
Very nice car
i still prefer the CR-V than an accord
the speakers in the accord are actually not that bad really.... your ears are just too "rich" to appreciate the speakers from a "D-segment" sedan...
Recon cars dealer just sitting there laughing at the price honda malaysia had 'offered' to this new accord
So freakin' cheap. You can get 2 in Malaysia for the price of 1 in Singapore with RM50 000 to spare. Stop whining. Be grateful it's not priced like us. Good,direct and honest review. Well done.
Noted on your review....very sorry but the 2020 honda accord,with its features and price point, is underwhelming....and cvt trans 1.5 T combo being fun and honda improved NVH....somehow dont think it is a convincing package....moreover....very very disappointed that Honda Malaysia did not bring in the 2.0 T with 10 speed auto version....absolutely pissed
If bring in 2.0T with 10AT the price definitely at RM 220-230k, how many people will take Accord over the 320i and C200? 320i and C200 pre reg is selling at RM220k and BMW is giving 5 years or 100k km free schedule services too. Isn't that more attractive than buying an Accord?
Everything is good except for the engine offering and price combo hm. So idc what u ppl gonna say, i take crv over this anytime
Dude.. The engine is the same in crv and even tuned lower in term of torque and hp than this Accord.
The back looks so mercedecey
Beautiful ? I still like the old one
Indeed, the old type design is more better that the new accord look
the previous looks and feels more premium.the new one is just an A7 wannabe
Lol... Please play around with the sound settings
Test drove it today, the latest priced at 182k without insurance. The car looks much much better in person, softer ride with good ride, those who think Camry is better than this accord is not smart
