2024 Honda Accord with Interior Upgrades Debuts in Japan

The new Honda Accord has finally made its debut in the Japanese market. Reservations for the model are anticipated to start in December of this year, with the first deliveries taking place in the spring of 2024.

The new-generation Honda Accord made its debut in the United States in November 2022, and then in China. Now, it's time for the home market - Japan to receive the Accord with a generational upgrade. The JDM-spec Accord will only be available as a hybrid and go on sale in the spring of 2024. Although the exterior resembles the U.S. model, there are significant interior modifications. There is a revised dashboard that includes a new bezel for the digital instrument cluster. Although the size of the screen remains the same, the trim around it has undergone changes.

The Japanese version retains a 12.3-inch touchscreen in the center console, but the climate controls have been replaced with a large round knob. The previous arrangement of 12 buttons and 3 small knobs is no longer there. Honda now offers an Experience Selection Dial that controls heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, as well as other essential features that can be pre-set for each user. While there is still time for the Japanese model to go on sale, let's take a quick look at some of its features.
