Refreshed 2025 Honda Accord Feels Ready to Soar to the Next Level of CGI Design

Everyone and their mother probably think their teased surprise for the LA event is the next-gen ninth global iteration XV80 Toyota Camry – but the Japanese automaker also ousted a teaser of the next body style for the Crown flagship, a crossover SUV, so maybe they're not giving us the Camry, after all. Anyway, that does not mean the competition should keep idle while the world's largest automaker has its way with the best-selling mid-size sedan in America.

The rivals include Chevrolet's Malibu, which recently got updated for the 2024 model year, and its price hiked just $100 – and everyone expects GM to allow new generations sometimes for the 2025 or 2026 model year. Then there are also the Asian foes – Nissan Altima, Kia K5, Hyundai Sonata, Subaru Legacy, and – of course – the one-and-only Honda Accord.

Speaking of the latter, the Japanese automaker reached the nameplate's eleventh generation late last year for the 2023 model year – so it's still fresh even if the Camry comes out to play right now. However, Honda has kept a tight schedule on the Accord moniker since the second generation (1982), which was followed in rapid succession by new iterations in 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2008, 2013, 2018, and 2023.

As such, we are not really astonished that the rumor mill reports a refreshed version might come out as soon as the 2025 model year – and the imaginative realm of digital car content creators quickly took that as a given fact and started churning out their unofficial design projects on the matter. Recently, the good folks at the AutomagzTV and Next-Gen Car channels on YouTube have also brought their AI-assisted visions on the matter.

First, the peeps at Next-Gen Car focus on the upcoming 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid, a model that currently retails for $32,545 when choosing the 2024 model year. As always with these AI-assisted unofficial redesigns, the styling is a bit exaggerated here and there – but overall, the vision is modern and streamlined. With a human giving the finishing touch, this sleek four-door sedan wouldn't look out of place in Honda's real model roster.

Secondly, AutomagzTV is going the extra mile, and they are trying to revive the times when Honda wasn't just building the Accord as a classic four-door sedan but also allowed other body styles like a five-door station wagon and a two-door coupe. Naturally, they settled on the latter for their hypothetical depiction of the refreshed 2025 Honda Accord. The sporty design is akin to a concept car, though, and it's even more wishful thinking than what their colleagues prepared for the four-door saloon.
