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
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 😂😂😂
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
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...
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
That, my friends, is where the whole concept of image raises the ugly part of its head. Hondas are perceived to be efficient affordable cars. if this tech is in an Audi or Merc, they'll plant it northwards of 55 and no one bats an eyelid. But Honda does it and all say it's worthless.
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. 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!
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
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
10 times better than previous version
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).

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
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
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 😂😂😂

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
😉
I really liked the old Civic's dash layout
40 lakh??? Wtf Honda
Did anyone buy this car in India? Haven't seen a single accord on the road in 7 years
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.
105% duty xD
renuka kriplani... my favourite car reviewer!!
Deep Banerjee
Yep she does a good job
I din find the new accord on the road.
Same here... Not even a single one
That's ORR in Hyderabad!
Proud to be a Hyderabadi!
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...

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
40-45 L ?!
Ok..... I’m fine with Ciaz alpha.
Sx4 better than ciaz
Same here 😁😁
I notice every time,the arm rest is useless for you in almost every car 😅
Skoda superb is the king of hearts probably it seems the jack of spades
Skoda siperb
Most awaited car! The best hybrid so far... ❤️
Vtech just kicked in yo
except it didn"t.
except it was only the battery that kicked in
Hi Renuka, can you please do a comparison with the Camry Hybrid highlighting both cars features, fuel efficiency and comfort please.
I don't like that front wide chrome grill on honda cars.
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 isn't this model easily available in used car market?
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. 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.

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.
Always for a second hand Accord FTW 🔥
Second hand Honda Accord always costs around 10-15 lakhs
3lakh u need??
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.
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 like the accord but
the accord is 48 lack in Sundaram Honda in Tamil nadu
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!
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?
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
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!
Awesome review. Interior is great. Value for money. Look like luxurious car. Also compare with audi and b. M. W. Cars...
It is way more better and luxury than a bmw 5 series
I would rather a pre-owned 2017 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR V6 over this. Nothing beats it's V6 engine.
215hp is more than enough! its not an e55 amg after all 😂
Good car . It's not only about price, but the better technology
If this had been with petrol engine and significant torque.it would be an amazing vehicle
front grill looks more like Acura
my car!!
this car looks stunning
@autocar Honda Accord Hybrid Vs Toyota Camry hybrid much awaited video
it's America's most favorite brand
I will buy 1 BHK instead 😊
Amazing
this is shooted in Hyderabad damn look at our ORR#👍
Nobody talks about the Civic
Ranjeev Joseph struggle is real bro....#hope soon
Ranjeev Joseph 2019 finally!!
I have a Honda Civic hybrid... this car is worth every dollar..
My dreams car
I wonder why even i m seeing this video when the fact that 10th generation is out now
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.
Please do some automatic hatchback variants like Maruti Suzuki or Honda or hyundai
awesome car too pricey
This is a much better review than what many of the US and UK channels produce.
Most reliable luxory sedan
I buy acoord and i like that
where is shooting location? is it near ORR Hyderabad!!!
please please make a comparison between superb accord and campry
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....
40 lakhs+ for a honda, u gotta be kidding me !!
I will get this one
Instead Honda should launch civic r type for this same price f accord
Please make the comparison of Honda accord and Skoda superb
don't compare this with c class or e class , this is more luxurious n comfort than those
Where is the battery and how much is the trunk space?
plz do review of q5 2016 plz
really good 😁 is it launched in India?
shivaji Bhosale yes
That, my friends, is where the whole concept of image raises the ugly part of its head. Hondas are perceived to be efficient affordable cars. if this tech is in an Audi or Merc, they'll plant it northwards of 55 and no one bats an eyelid. But Honda does it and all say it's worthless.
This reminds of the Fisker Karma, engine charging the batteries and wheels driven by the motor and overpriced.
I wish it was like about 40 lakh on road !
Honda guys be like the v-tec will kick on this one day.. And it will be forever
looks much better than the prius and same 40L is way to high
what about new jaguar xf, when autocar will make the first review of it
this was the car i am waiting from honda
Honda thought Tesla was already available in India and therefore priced it so ridiculously high!
When will the new honda civic be launched in india?
My all time favourite
hope new civic is locally assembled
40lakhs in India.. while in US its 25k$ which is 17lakhs.
When are we getting 3.5 litre v6 variant?
Are you willing to pay crores?
You are one of the best car reviewer of one of the best review channel thankyou for such a detailed review
Hey.... this is shot in Hyderabad
Arcord is avilable all ower in india
plz do an review of dc avanti
Glad to see that the new Accord Hybrid is doing well in India. Great video. Thanks!
This car would be great if the EV range was atleast 50-100 kms.
still better than entry level mercs,audi n bmw
Why are the wheels so small on a 40L car?
Excellent superb video
Would be nice if Hyundai got the Ioniq to India at a good price.
