Squint once and you might mistake it for a Audi, but what you’re really looking at is the patent drawings of the next-generation 2024 .
Making this the 11th-generation Accord, the images here were leaked from a patent image submission to the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property.
The swooping fastback roofline will return with the next-generation Accord
Though colourless, the images give us a clear look at the overall proportions of the upcoming car including its swooping fastback roofline at the rear, as seen on the current 10th-generation Accord.
Closing in on the details, the front fascia is flanked by slim headlight enclosures much like the Honda Civic. The grille on the other hand is trapezoidal now, aping the recently unveiled , albeit smaller in size.
Further down, a wide trim element spans the width of the front bumper housing the central air intake duct and bumper garnishing.
Can you see the similarities
Round the back is where we see the biggest changes, bearing no resemblance to the current Accord’s rear design, the images show a swoopy rear taillights that stretch across the rear bootlid, in much the same Audi designed the A7.
At the bottom, a chiseled rear apron finishes of the design.
Recent rendered images posted on Russian website Kolesa already give a pretty precise idea of the upcoming Accord.
With its elegant design lnaguage, it's clear that Honda are gunning gunning for the European and North American markets with the upcoming Accord, especially since the Accord and CR-V will after long, leave its home market of Japan.
And now for the age-old question, when will we see it here. Well, we only got the current Accord in 2020, offered in two variants, both using the same the 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo paired to a CVT-type automatic transmission driving the front wheels.
So given the typical lifespan of the Accord, we wouldn’t expect it here until sometime in 2025. Plus these are just patent drawings for now, so it still very early times.
