Honda Accord 2027 Update Adds Semi‑Autonomous Driving and Hybrid Powertrain
Honda announced the 2027 Accord for the Japanese market, featuring modest exterior revisions such as body‑coloured lower trims, a grille and clear LED headlamp accents, while the interior remains unchanged.
The model continues to use the 2.0‑liter e:HEV hybrid powertrain that produces 181 hp and 315 Nm, transmitted through a lockup‑clutch e‑CVT to the front wheels. It introduces Honda Sensing 360+, an advanced driver‑assist suite that permits hands‑free driving on select highways using high‑resolution mapping.
Pricing is set at ¥5.95 million for the e:HEV version and ¥6.35 million for the e:HEV equipped with Honda Sensing 360+. The launch coincides with the Accord’s 50‑year anniversary since its 1976 debut.
