Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.

Its acutally a caaaaaarr

This car is a blockbuster class car, with all the comforts, having a very powerful engine with the best part in upcoming accord is the hybrid feature in a car can make the car more attractive and fasinating.

Honda Accord Hybrid First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali18 Oct 2016

The Accord Hybrid is Honda India’s first full-fat premium offering in years. It is also the brand’s maiden attempt at giving an eco-friendly alternative to the diesel brigade from the Germans. That being said, it mainly rivals the Toyota Camry Hybrid which has been bit of a lone ranger in the Indian market for quite some time. Now Honda, as we know, has bet a lot on hybrid technology. The latter in fact is part of Honda’s modern DNA and can be seen in several models globally. For the Indian market, Honda decided to introduce its latest hybrid tech with the ninth-gen Accord. We took it out for a quick spin to tell you if going green has helped its cause.

New Honda Accord First Look Review

By Sagar Bhanushali15 Feb 2016

Honda is scheduled to launch the new Accord in Thailand later this month. While that’s well and good for the Japanese automaker who enjoys good presence in the Thai market, it also means that it won’t be too long before the new Accord hits the Indian market.
