    2024 Honda Accord hybrid sedan confirmed for Australia, coming in second quarter to take on Toyota Camry, Mazda 6

    The 11th-gen Honda Accord was revealed in left-hand drive in 2022, and left-hook late last year.

    Honda Australia has finally confirmed the new-gen Accord sedan for Australia, locking in a hybrid variant to arrive as the Civic’s bigger sibling in Q2 this year.

    While the 11th-generation Honda Accord was initially revealed in left-hand drive as an American market model, it wasn't until late 2023 that a right-hand-drive model was revealed to open the door for an Australian launch.

    The 2024 Honda Accord will arrive here with probable hopes to take some sales from the dominant Toyota Camry’s top-end variants, given Honda’s announcement the Accord will arrive in a single hybrid variant.

    Pricing isn’t yet confirmed for the Accord e:HEV, which will certainly be more expensive than the Civic e:HEV priced at $55,000 drive-away, though its relatively imminent arrival means an announcement should be forthcoming soon.

    In the US, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with Atkinson cycle hybrid assistance is rated for 152kW and 335Nm, so a similar output is a reasonable expectation for Australia. The drivetrain will transfer drive to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission.

    Honda Australia has confirmed very little in terms of specifications, though says customers will have four colours to choose from - Platinum White, Lunar Silver, Meteoroid Grey and Crystal Black.

    In an Australian first for Honda, Google will be built-in to its multimedia system.
