Yes it is 160 lacs because its a cbu. If someone wants to get a camry, they get a Japanese used (2-3 years old imported). It is almost half the price.
However new are also sold but very less

[faakhir19]

New accord is 120 lacs. Still it is too much

New accord is 120 lacs. Still it is too muc

totally not worth the asking price though brilliant car in itself as a family car, nothing more, the Accord i.e.

Slightly expensive than the three cars i posted but coming in the same premium executive car category in my market is the Volvo S90 . I spotted one while roaming this wednesday evening.
