India is the destination for Honda's ninth-generation Accord, which is offered in North America. The new Accord's appearance hasn't seen any significant changes. With its forceful bumper, larger grille, and headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights, the car appears to be an upgraded version of the present model. It has new LED tail lights, but the side profile is still the same, albeit somewhat shorter. The car stands out thanks to its sleek, stylish new appearance.
The new Accord maintains the Accord's luxurious and regal interior while adding contemporary elements. The vehicle has automatic headlights, a touch-screen infotainment system, keyless entry, and a rearview camera with parking sensors. You have leather upholstery, electric front row seats, and a dual-zone temperature control system with rear AC vents for added comfort.
