Reverse indicators have been separated from the tail lamp cluster and moved to flank the number plate area.

LEDs light up faster than conventional bulbs so it is slightly safer in emergency brake situations. The tail lamps are now lit up by LED instead of conventional bulbs.

Instead of the long horizontal strips of lights which look like an evolution of the previous 6th gen Honda Accord’s tail lamps, you now get twin triangular headlamps flanking a boot lid which at first glance looks inspired by Mercedes Benz, but this look actually reminds me of an evolution of the 2006 Honda Civic Coupe USDM model‘s rear end. You could actually see this new design for quite some time already as it made it’s debut in the Japanese Honda Inspire which is the same car as our Honda Accord, so it might not be new to some of you. The new Honda Accord facelift – which we could call the Accord 7.5 – has a totally new redesigned rear end. Let’s have a look at the 2006 Honda Accord facelift and what enhancements it has over it’s predecessor.įirst of all, the exterior. It was launched yesterday and I was there to bring you this report. Honda’s normal model cycle calls for a mid-life facelift, and this facelift is now available in Malaysia. Since it’s launch to date, it holds the top sales spot in it’s segment, with approximately 15,000 on the road so far. It reached our local shores in late 2003, and won awards in Malaysia too like Autocar Asean’s Car of the Year 2003/2004. The 7th generation Honda Accord was launched in 2002, and won Japan’s Car of the Year award in the year of it’s introduction.
