PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) officially launched the new model of the flagship Honda Accord RS e:HEV sedan, this Thursday (7/12/2023). The price itself is quite attractive because it is priced at IDR 959.9 million.
The price is quite commensurate with the claims of many advantages that its competitors do not have.
Even Kotaro Shimizu, President Director of PT Honda Prospect Motor, said that the eleventh generation car is the most sophisticated car in terms of technology.
“This will be a proud model for us to launch the Honda Accord RS e:HEV,” said Kotaro Shimizu.
Ryo Asaoka, Product Planning & Sales and Marketing Director of PT HPM said that the new Honda Accord combines three elements, namely Accomplished, Revitalized and Advance. He said the car carries the latest e:HEV technology. This technology is adaptive to road conditions so that it can maintain efficiency while providing enjoyable driving performance.
“In this car there is an Experience Selection Dial where the driver can choose the most ideal and comfortable driving mode,” explained Ryo Asaoka.
One of the highlights that according to Ryo Asaoka needs to be paid attention to is the Google Built In feature. Thanks to this feature, the Honda Accord RS e:HEV now has Google’s flagship technology such as the Hey Google voice assistant, Google Maps and Google Play Store.
“So you no longer need to connect your cellphone to your car just to get these technologies,” explained Ryo Asaoka.
Apart from Google Built In, another interesting thing is that Honda Sensing is getting better. Ryo Asaoka said that the quality of the cameras and radar in this car has been improved compared to previous capabilities.
Meanwhile, Yusak Billy, Sales & Marketing and After Sales Director of PT HPM, said that the Honda Accord has an important role for Honda. Firstly, providing innovation and also top of the line for Honda.
“Currently 82,000 Honda Accords have been sold in Indonesia,” he said.
He said the eleventh generation of the Honda Accord was important because it introduced e:HEV technology. Through this technology, the Honda Accord RS e:HEV has an EV Mode button which provides the sensation of driving like an electric car.
Various other advantages that are also highlighted are the presence of 12 Bose speakers which will make the atmosphere in the car more comfortable for the driver and passengers.
“This car is also the first time a Honda Accord has an RS variant,” said Yusak Billy.
