| New Model Announcement | Honda Accord |
Honda has announced that its new Accord with a sportier persona will go on sale on June 1st, with the Tourer estate version to come along on September 1st. The saloon will be unveiled at the
Geneva motor show in March, including a new turbodiesel engine.
The 2.2-litre i-DTEC turbodiesel engine meets the strict new Euro 5 emission regulations, while the 2.0- and 2.4-litre petrol engines will carry over to the new Accord, but with engineering updates to help them meet the Euro 5 standard too.
Honda is taking the Accord in a sporty new direction and you can see from the teaser picture released ahead of the car's launch at Geneva, the Accord is aiming for the
Mondeo and
Mazda6 at the top of the family car market. Expect prices of the new Accord to be similar to the
current car's.
