Q
What is the weight of Honda Accord?
The weight of the Honda Accord varies depending on the specific model, year, and power configuration. Generally speaking, its curb weight (the weight of the vehicle without passengers or cargo) ranges from approximately 1,400 kg to 1,600 kg. For instance, the gasoline variant equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine typically weighs around 1,450 kg, while the hybrid version, which includes a battery pack and electric motor system, may weigh close to 1,550 kg.
The vehicle's weight design is closely linked to its safety, fuel efficiency, and driving stability. Honda achieves a balance by utilizing lightweight high-strength steel and optimizing the vehicle's structure, ensuring body rigidity while minimizing weight. This approach enhances maneuverability and energy efficiency.
For Malaysian consumers, the Accord's weight is comparable to its competitors in the midsize sedan segment, such as the Toyota Camry and Nissan Teana. However, the overall driving experience should also take into account factors like suspension tuning and power delivery. It's worth noting that the actual weight of the vehicle may vary slightly due to optional features (such as sunroofs and seat materials). Therefore, consumers are advised to check the detailed specifications of specific models through Honda Malaysia's official website or authorized dealers to better assess suitability before making a purchase.

For example, the 11th-generation Accord features an unlocking mechanism in the upper area of the rear seat. By pressing the button, you can locate and pull the internal release handle to unlock the trunk. This design allows passengers to operate it inside the vehicle without having to exit. Additionally, some models (such as the 7th generation) have an emergency keyhole located below the rear center armrest, which allows you to unlock the trunk manually with a mechanical key.
In addition to the rear seat method, there are standard ways to open the trunk, including using the switch button on the driver’s door armrest, pressing the trunk button on the remote key fob for about one second, or directly pulling the unlock switch located beneath the trunk lid. While the specifics may vary slightly between different generations, the overall logic remains similar.

When closing the trunk, ensure it is securely locked to prevent it from accidentally opening while driving. The trunk capacity of the Accord is approximately 573 liters, which is sufficient for everyday items, but larger loads may require adjustments to the rear seats. It is recommended to refer to the vehicle manual for specific operating steps tailored to your particular model.
