Although Japanese auto major Honda has confirmed the relaunch of the Accord, the exact launch date is not yet known.

The Accord was part of the Indian roads for almost 5 years since its entry into the market in 2008. It was later forced to retire from the sub-continent market owing to the poor sales and also due to the absence of diesel.

The new Accord is expected to be offered with 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine in India with 6-speed manual gearbox and a CVT. According to the original publisher of the photograph, Honda may also consider launching the Accord Hybrid in India to rival Toyota Camry Hybrid.
