BMW 3 Series GT [2016-2021] vs Honda Accord

The BMW 330i GT has always had two key qualities linked to it – that it’s fast, and that it’s luxurious. Now, BMW has updated the GT range by adding the delicious M Sport trim to the mix. It’s still fast, and luxurious but we are here to find out if it’s any more tempting than the bog-standard 330i GT we drove last year.

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.

It’s interesting how the traditional executive sedan is slowly losing favour of late, getting displaced by fancier crossover offerings including compact SUVs and four-door coupes. This could make the new BMW 3 Series GT range seem like a more tempting proposition for those in search for both looks and functionality.
