With the new Civic out of the way, next in line to sweep the D-Segment scene is the facelifted Honda Accord, one that will be locally assembled. Just as before, three variants will be on offer – 2.0 VTi, 2.0 VTi-L and top of the line 2.4 VTi-L. There will also be a brand new exterior colour called Obsidian Blue Pearl, which debuts beginning with this Accord.
Things that are new to the Accord are most obviously the full LED headlights with integrated LED DRLs, restyled front grille and front bumper. The tail end of this car gets a sleeker pair of LED-combination tail lamps, as well as a restyled bumper. Completing the exterior refresh is a new set of alloy wheels.
In addition to the new Obsidian Blue Pearl shade, the Accord facelift can also be had in Modern Steel Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl and two new colours – White Orchid Pearl and Lunar Silver Metallic.
If you wish to see the Accord facelift in the metal, good news await because it will go on a nationwide roadshow beginning 12 August to 4 September 2016. Refer to the following tables for the complete schedule:
