Unlike Toyota, which is adamantly trying to dethrone General Motors as the top-selling automaker in the US car market, Honda is maintaining a slightly lower profile when it comes to significant novelties.
For example, after updating some of their most important models for the 2024 model year – like the 2024 Honda CR-V that adds a new Sport-L trim to "amp up its appeal to young and active buyers" with the new hybrid powertrain, the Japanese automaker has refocused its attention on their impending EV revolution.

More precisely, the company presented the "stylish, sporty, spacious, and all-electric" Prologue crossover SUV that will join the mid-size class to fight the best-selling Tesla Model Y with help from GM's shared Ultium tech and BEV3 platform – which also underpins the Chevy Blazer EV or Cadillac Lyriq.

But that wasn't all because the brand also joined (along with Acura) other automakers in adopting Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) from 2025 and even set up a new marketing campaign to highlight its "journey of innovation toward zero emissions." Alas, until they are there, Honda also needs to cater to some of its most important models – no matter how old-school they might be.

As such, some people would love to see the Japanese carmaker think again about the eleventh-generation Accord sedan. If not, some of them will take matters into their own hands – or rather, at the tip of their CGI brush, as is the case here with the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. More precisely, the good folks over at the Q Cars channel on YouTube aim to daze and amaze the audience with the potential facelift of the mid-size sedan.

Its resident pixel master has an interesting vision for the CGI facelift of the popular and safe Honda Accord – as the imagined sedan aims to trump the passion for its rivals like the Toyota Camry or Nissan Altima with a modern, minimalist redesign. Possibly assisted by AI design tools, this Accord four-door sedan project looks quite mesmerizing, indeed – even if it's only compounded from other models that already exist. Interestingly, though, the virtual depiction presents us with an excellent fastback design instead of a traditional 4-door sedan.

So, do you like this digital project better than Honda's work on the eleventh Accord? By the way, do take all of this with a healthy dose of salt as nothing is official from Honda – and we bet it won't be for a long time coming. After all, the current mid-size sedan was released into the wild this year from the Marysville Auto Plant in Marysville, Ohio. As such, we bet the carmaker will only schedule a mid-cycle facelift around the 2027 or 2028 model year at the earliest. Nevertheless, let us vote – do we give this our CGI vote of confidence or not?
