There is no doubt that Honda is preparing something good for future generations. Actually, the most iconic rivals were presented mainly in eastern market, the UK and Europe. The best offer was kept inside these three markets but in the USA the close-up situation is different. The only things we saw in the USA were the first generation of Acuras, and there were finally civic Type R for 2017. So, there was some time when it comes to redesigning so we took some closer look in about how future 2019 Honda Accord Type R should look like.

The main highlights will be more aggressive fascia with Type R specific styling. There will be a better output over the range-topping models, stiffer suspension, manual transmission, and lower ride height. Having that in mind, the company is preparing some original models for next generations of Accord, but most details we will compete after the final launching.

New Exterior Design

After the intro of the 10th generation of Accord, Honda brought new design on market combining sporty design and updated technology. When it comes to releasing of new 2019 Honda Accord Type R, we can expect similar appearance but sportier than the previous model. The massive grille up front is here to stay, but it will get the traditional Type R badge and red Honda logo.

Down below, the smaller corner vents will be larger. Of course, these are more aggressive to offer more fierce appearance. An extra lip will also reside at the bottom of the fascia which helps provide the frontal downforce. The new Type R will be based on the range-topping model of the current line-up, so it will get the body colored mirrors and a moonroof. The front fenders will get gloss black vents to match, and rest of the parts will be combined in red.
