The Japanese automaker Honda will have one thing to brag about in front of its long-time rival Toyota as far as the American division's sales are concerned – they seriously outperformed them with a 33% growth against 'just' a 6.6% increase.
For example, Honda's performance was also greater than Nissan's, which tallied almost 899k sales with a jump of 23.2%. On the other hand, American Honda sold over 1.16 million vehicles, putting itself in the middle between Toyota's 2.24 million and Nissan's. So, how could Honda start to threaten Toyota even further or at least distance itself from the Nissan pursuer?
That's easy if you ask the imaginative realm of digital car content creators – they just need to tremendously up the stakes for their current nameplates. We already know that, in the real world, Honda will soon present an all-new global EV model at CES 2024. After that, everyone expects the eleventh-generation Civic to get serious about its hybrid duties to fight Toyota's Corolla better.
But across the parallel universes of vehicular CGI, the decision has already been made – the eleventh generation Accord mid-size sedan should up the sakes against the upcoming 2025 Toyota Camry not just with a sensible refresh but also sporting a novel EV powertrain under the hood. For example, the good folks over at the Q Cars channel on YouTube aim to daze and amaze the audience with a potential styling of their vision for the updated Honda Accord and also expand the powertrain options with gas, hybrid, and electric choices.
Of course, we should all take these renderings with a healthy dose of salt, as nothing is official from Honda just yet. However, an Accord EV wouldn't be out of reach for the Japanese company if they had continued their partnership with GM past the Prologue crossover SUV – its front- and dual-motor setups could also be imported to the Accord EV.
Anyway, we will have to wait and see what is Honda's next move in the field of zero-emissions cars. Also, in case you don't want to see the Accord as an EV for the 2025 model year, no worries – we also have other choices. For example, the resident pixel master from the JOVCARS channel on YouTube has also imagined the 2025 Accord – albeit as a hybrid model with a two-door body style that's quite intriguing because it has (hidden) door handles both front and back, suggesting you could open the door normally or like a Rolls-Royce!
So, what do you think – should Honda try to cope with the upcoming 2025 Toyota Camry with the Accord already on sale? Or should they start contemplating at least a redesign, additional powertrain options, and even an expansion of the available body styles?
