Honda Accord 1.5L Turbo Sales Starts Today

Malaysia might be a little late in its introduction but there are enough Accord fans waiting to place their bookings from today.

First introduced to Malaysian car buyers in 1976 by the then distributor, Kah Motor, the Honda Accord is the second-longest-running automotive nameplate in Honda’s history, after the Honda Civic. Accord has become a household name over nine generations and with 44 model years.

This new Accord has a longer wheelbase (+2.16 inches), a lower overall height (-0.59 in.) and wider body (+0.39 in.), wider wheel tracks (+0.20 in. front, +0.79 in. rear), a shortened overall length (-0.39 in.) and a lower, sportier seating position (-1.0 in. front, -0.79 in. rear). 

A sweeping greenhouse, positioned farther back on the body, completes the new stance and proportion of the next-generation Accord. The combined effect of these changes is a more premium look, highlighted by shorter overhangs, a bold front fascia, a long and low hood, and a visual center of gravity moved closer to the rear wheels.

With a turbocharged engine, standard Honda Sensing® and a spacious and high-tech interior, the long awaited 2020 Honda Accord begins arriving at dealer showrooms today, February 26th, with a selling price that has moved upwards with the rest of the segment contenders.
