The stylish Honda Accord
The Honda Accord is an elegant and creative masterpiece crafted with passion. The car reflects the tradition of Honda cars that are known for their quality, durability, reliability, value for money, and environmental friendliness. It is ingeniously simple yet overflowing with brilliant styling and technological creativity.
The new Accord is a result of the company’s desire to attain leadership in the premium segment. In response to the company’s own desire, the skilled designers and engineers from Honda have accentuated elegance in every detail of the car and have introduced an advanced version in accordance to the changing needs of the Indian car buyers. With an attractive design and powerful technology, the new Honda Accord is expected to compete with the Skoda Superb, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and BMW 3 Series.
The new car has bold lines and an aggressive stance, which gives the car a much younger appeal. Although there is nothing overtly unconventional about its design, the car still manages to leave a lasting impression on the passersby.Honda Siel India has brought in the 2.4 litre variant to the country with both automatic and manual transmission options. There are other variants including a 3.5 litre V6 available in the international range of Honda, but as of now only the 2.4 litre model will be sold here in India.
The in-line four cylinders displace 2354cc and the 16-valve DOHC motor equipped with Honda patented iVTEC technology, pumps out 180 horses at 6500rpm and 222Nm of torque again at 6500rpm. The Accord always had good driveability as its strong selling point, and this remains unchanged even in the 2008 Accord. While the power on the automatic Accord feels a little sluggish initially, driving into the Sport mode, the response from the car is spot on.
