But there’s no sign of it coming to the Philippines
It’s for China, but will other markets get it?
At this point, we're accepting the fact that the tenth-generation Honda Accord isn't coming to the Philippines anymore. Sure, Honda Cars Philippines said it's 'not closing doors' on its possible return, but the state of the midsize sedan
It’s been two years since the model was discontinued in PH
The Honda Accord e:HEV is currently on display at the 2025 Bangkok International Motor Show, and it has got us in our feelings. It's been over two years since the Accord was discontinued in the Philippines, and the local-midsize

Hint: The new Civic is far from compact
The Honda Civic has come a long way since the hugely popular '90s-era EG and EK models.The current FE generation is more mature and upmarket than its boy-racer predecessors; it has also grown significantly over the earlier iterations. This
Does it deserve another shot here?
In case you've missed it, we've got nothing but high praises for the new Civic hybrid. It's perhaps one of the best cars in its size class by offering just about everything you want and need in a modern
We likey
Honda's participation at the 2024 Bangkok Auto Salon hasn't gone unnoticed. In this year's running of the show, the company unveiled a slew of sportier variants of its bread and butter models.But among all of those on display,
We'd like tickets to Japan, please
After the flurry of new car and concept reveals at the Japan Mobility Show, Tokyo is gearing up for yet another motor show. Yes folks, it's now the turn of the Tokyo Auto Salon, and it opens its doors on
We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed
There are a lot of cars we're looking forward to in 2024. While some are confirmed for launch, there are still those that have unknown local debut dates.Still, that hasn't stopped us from making up a wish list of
Definitely not for budget meal
Admittedly, even we get surprised that the '90s was 30 years ago. For, er, most of the Top Gear Philippines team, it still feels like the not too distant past. It was quite the decade for cars, too. The '90s
What it lacks in excitement, it makes up for with all-around likability
Ah, the Accord. Honda's long-serving midsize sedan is as inoffensive as a bran muffin, serving buyers of all types with its spacious cabin, easy driving dynamics, efficient powertrain, and reputation for apocalypse-surviving reliability. What this sedan lacks in excitement

You can skip a lot of gas stations in it
For those who feel uneasy about range anxiety in electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) appear to be the best solution. You can charge it up like an EV to give you a long range on battery power, and the engine kicks
Unlikely to land here, but we're still hoping
When the all-new Honda Accord made its world premiere in the US last year, we weren't expecting it to be offered in the region, let alone the Philippines. After all, more people would rather buy a crossover or truck-based
Yes, we still want it here
Just when we thought Honda was no longer bothering with midsize (and large) sedans in Asia, the Japanese automaker has given us a few surprises recently. First, it previewed the Accord in Indonesia, then came the announcement of it coming back to
A bold move from Honda
More and more automakers are pulling out of the midsize sedan game. Ford and Chevrolet have axed their big four-doors, so to have most mainstream European marques. Heck, even Toyota has discontinued the Camry in Japan.While it's sad that
Honda’s mid-size sedan lives on in ASEAN
The Honda Accord and mid-size sedans might not be sales drivers anymore, but we reckon these cars still have a place in today's automotive landscape filled with crossovers and SUVs. During the 2023 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show, Honda brought
Welcome to ASEAN, all-new Accord
It's a little sad that executive sedans don't have the same popularity as they once had. These days, most folks would rather get a premium compact crossover or a midsize SUV for the same price. It's totally understandable, as
The brand sees the writing on the wall
This is the all-new Honda Accord. The look is spot-on with Honda throwing in a sportier aesthetic relative to the last one, but the meat of this model change is in the powertrain.Honda is going all-in on hybrids

Any chance this makes it to PH?
Chances are you've already noticed that the Accord is no longer listed on the Honda Cars Philippines website. No fuss was made about the brand's local lineup change, but we're really hoping this isn't a permanent exit. Especially

The hybrid’s going up against a purely gasoline-powered rival
Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has once again injected life into its lineup with the launch of another hybrid: the new Camry. The midsize sedan not only brings new electric power to TMP's stable, but it now becomes the lone variant available
’90s form meets modern Type R brawn
We must sincerely apologize-when Fifteen52 and Mountune USA unveiled this fantastic JACCS-liveried, fifth-generation Honda Accord wagon that it had built in collaboration with Honda Performance Development (HPD) back in May, we completely missed the chance to show it to

Big sedan, small turbo engine—is it a good match?
Given the state of Metro Manila's roads, the state of Philippine weather, and the sad state of our traffic management, some would say an SUV is the best choice to drive in this country. With it, you'd have the toughness
