The Philipines' midsize sedan market is no longer as big as it was before, however, some people swear by big sedans.

In the upcoming years, Philippines automotive market will be invaded by midsize sedans from all car brands.  As we already know, in 2019, Toyota Motors Philippines initiated it by launching the all-new Toyota Camry.

Next, Mazda followed it by revealing the Sports Wagon variant last month. It is a turbocharged SkyActiv version for their sedan.

And now, preparing to join the midsize sedan segment again is the Honda Cars Philippines with their 2020 Accord. The 10th generation, 2020 Honda Accord was initially launched in the United States.

Last March, it made its official debut in the ASEAN region during the 2019 Bangkok International Motor Show. The latest accord sports a sleeker appearance in both interior and exterior and now equipped with a turbocharged engine.
