2024 Honda Accord Spy Shots: Everything We Know So Far – It seems like Honda’s midsize sedan will continue to be produced for at least one more generation after this one.
According to our informants, a prototype of what is anticipated to be a 2024 Honda Accord was seen undergoing testing on public roads in the Midwest. This provides us with some insight into what to anticipate from the ever-present family automobile.
Given the present status of the market for vehicles with four doors, we would be willing to forgive Honda for giving the Accord a new coat of paint and then immediately putting it back on the market.
After all, with a vehicle that is intended for buyers who are at least one generation away from the general automotive zeitgeist, how much newness is actually necessary? In addition, how much extra is really required when the vehicle in issue is as good as the present Accord? In light of what we have seen so far, it seems likely that the final product will be something that lies in between a complete overhaul and a light makeover.
As can be seen in the photographs above, the prototype has the same basic dimensions and body lines as the final product.
The shape of the upswept lower rockers and the short rear deck seem to have been carried over nearly entirely unmodified; however, the new vehicle looks to have a decklid lip spoiler that is more apparent. It seems like they kept the prominent groove that runs under the greenhouse from the front fender all the way back to the back of the vehicle. It’s possible that those side mirrors are exactly the same.
On the other hand, despite a general rear taper that looks to follow the current body form, we are witnessing what is likely to be a total redesign of the design of the rear lights and bumper. This is the case despite the fact that the back end appears to be following the existing body shape.
Engine
Buyers of the Accord will be glad to learn that hybridization will be available throughout the lineup since gasoline costs are continuing their upward trend and the cost of fueling a car now requires a personal loan.
The gasoline-electric drivetrain will most likely be shared with the all-new CR-V. It will consist of a 2.0-liter inline-four engine linked with two electric motors; one will be used for propulsion, while the other will be used for regeneration.
Although the system generates a combined 204 horsepower (152 kW) and 247 pound-feet of torque, and transfers that power to the front wheels, it is possible that the Accord may get a version with a little bit more power.
Other powertrain options will probably include a turbocharged 1.5-liter that has been carried over from the previous model but has been updated to produce more than 190 horsepower, as well as a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and has at least 252 horsepower.
We anticipate that the present engine configurations will be carried over into the next-generation Accord since it will be built on the same basis as the current vehicle.
However, there may be some changes or upgrades made to them. Either a turbocharged I-4 engine with a capacity of 1.5 liters and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) or a turbocharged I-4 engine with a capacity of 2.0 liters and a 10-speed automatic gearbox would be required for this. We anticipate that a hybrid version will once again be offered, which will combine a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with an electric motor.
It is certain that the vehicle will have front-wheel drive, but it is unknown if Honda would consider producing an all-wheel drive model in light of the increasing demand for such vehicles among other manufacturers.
We think that we will obtain more information on the next Accord before the end of the year, with the model set to go into production for the 2024 model year. Now that the new hybrid CR-V has been presented in its entirety, we anticipate that we will get this information.
Exterior
It is anticipated that the interior will also undergo a subtle redesign that will adopt a styling that is comparable to that of Honda’s most recent models, such as the 2023 CR-V pictured above and the Civic. Both of these vehicles feature a honeycomb cover for the expanded air vents and a large touchscreen sitting atop the dashboard.
Everything will have materials of a higher grade and technology that has been enhanced. Due to the fact that the new generation of the Accord rides on the same design as the outgoing model, passengers should only anticipate minimal increases to the available space.
A digital instrument cluster, a 9-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, wireless charging for compatible smartphones, and a Bose sound system are some of the features of the inside.
The driver-attention monitor, traffic sign recognition, surround view monitor, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist will all be available as part of the entire package of driver-assistance functions that will be made available.
Design
Because of the design drawings that we created earlier this year, we already have a very decent idea of what to anticipate from the forthcoming eleventh generation of the Honda Accord, which will debut in 2024.
Now that the whole design of the next-generation midsize vehicle has been discovered on the website of the Brazilian government, we can evaluate how correct our predictions were.
Since the purpose of the patent is just to establish the proposed production design, the Brazilian patent site provides very little real explanation of the invention, despite the fact that the patent photos provide a complete 360-degree view at the 2024 Accord in the form of a series of drawings.
However, it is clear that our prognosis of a complete light bar for the taillights was correct, since this is reflected in the renderings that have been released. It is also clear that the next Accord will maintain the general basic and sleek fastback-type design of the existing vehicle, but with even more simplifications.
With its six-pointed grille form that is flanked by two flat, long headlights, the front clip is obviously in some way influenced by the most recent design for the 2024 Accord, which was recently presented in its whole just the week before last.
The overhangs also seem to be a little bit lengthy over the front and back wheels, which suggests that the tenth-generation wheelbase will remain the same.
However, the total length might possibly increase, which could result in additional space inside the vehicle as well as in the trunk. The entire appearance seems to have been influenced by more luxury cars, which may be the direction Honda is trying to take its heritage sedan in the future.
What is the Honda Accord?
These days, the rest of America seems to be more interested in crossover utility vehicles (SUVs) and trucks than in sedans. It is not surprising that other automobile manufacturers are following suit; for example, the Ford Fusion, Mazda 6, Toyota Avalon, and Volkswagen Passat have all been retired in recent years.
But, hey, you’re not quite over cars, are you? The same can be said about Honda, which is why you need to give some thought to getting a 2024 Accord.
The well-known midsize car produced by Honda will debut for the 2023 model year after a comprehensive overhaul. As we write this, we do not have access to all of the specifics at this time; so, please come back later for further information.
However, we are aware that Honda will update the external appearance to better link it with other Honda vehicles that have recently undergone redesigns. A more comprehensive overhaul of the interior will take place, with a particular focus on the dashboard display.
The touchscreen will be the biggest offered by Honda, measuring in at 12.3 inches, and it will be the first in the manufacturer’s portfolio to have interaction with Google Assistant.
The Accord did not deviate much from the fundamental design structure of its predecessor. As a result, the majority of Accords are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is combined with a continuously variable automatic gearbox (CVT) to provide around 190 horsepower.
We also anticipate the reintroduction of the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which should produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 horsepower. If you are interested in reducing the amount of money you spend on petrol, you will have the opportunity to choose the redesigned Accord Hybrid when it becomes available.
