Honda still sees plenty of room for growth in the sedan segment.
While some manufacturers have moved away from the space, Honda is forging ahead with the redesigned Accord midsize that went into production this month and the 11th-generation Civic compact, which arrived in 2021. A Civic hybrid is scheduled to go on sale in 2024.
Dealers have "asked us to make sure that we continue to focus on those sedan segments, the Accord as well as the Civic," Lance Woelfer, assistant vice president of Honda sales, told Automotive News after the brand's make meeting Saturday. "I think while our competitors may have gone in a different direction, it creates more opportunity for us to meet that demand."
