There is nothing available yet. No specs either. But there will be the 1.5 turbo (192HP) and 2.0 hybrid (215HP?).

Yea unfortunately no proper info anywhere. I really hope they don't do it like Toyota but it really looks like it'll be the 1.5 Turbo or 2.0 hybrid with CVTs... argh please no! I was looking forward to the 2.0 Turbo with 10 speed auto but judging by past market strategies and Toyotas current moves I don't have too high hopes ????

There is no hope of the 2.0 turbo

 Only the 1.5 and 2.0 hybrid. I think the 1.5 will be a better drive. Most reviews from overseas think it is a decent car. But the current accord looks nicer to me.

 

What features does the mid spec hybrid have that the 2.5 doesn't? "Smooth" leather vs normal leather, "Nanoe" which seems to be an air ionizer (wouldn't want that in a car, everything becomes black), chrome grill/mold and memory function for steering wheel. All these would be totally unimportant for me apart from maybe the leather, would have to see in the flesh. Did I miss something?

If you are talking about the Camry, then the upper spec hybrid has ventilated front seats, and different color options. The memory function is for the drivers seat I thought - if it is for the steering wheel (and maybe the outer mirror ?) as well - even better. Never heard about this "Nanoe". If it cannot be switched off then it might be disabled by just cutting it from the circuits by a specialist.

 

Designwise I am not so enthusiastic about the plastic style (tiger eye) in the front. How much better looking is the new Mazda 3 2019 in its interior ! But this car is smaller and not available yet (maybe for a long time). Really difficult to choose a Sedan these days. And the Honda is so conservative in design that it hurts (of course only my opinion).
