Information Specification Modification Image Review 2013 honda accord
 the Honda plan and has earned the company an excellent reputation. On hand for the car’s debut, American Honda Motor Co. Executive VP John Mendel pointed out the Accord’s unprecedented 26 times it has been named to Car & Driver’s Top 10 car of the year list.

Looking like a slightly stylized version of the current Accord, the new model is smaller overall and with a lower roofline, although Honda claims it has achieved the same interior space. It’s also a lighter vehicle, although Honda isn’t getting into specifics at this point.

The Accord will be the first model to use Honda’s new powertrains, featuring direct-injection among other technologies. Both a V6 and a new 2.4-liter 4-cylinder will be offered, with a newly developed CVT transmission for the 4-cylinder and a 6-speed automatic for the V6. Honda hasn’t announced specs but says it expects the Accord to deliver class leading fuel economy. Whether it can best the new Fusion’s 26/37-mpg rating will be, however, be tough.


  While many mid-size competitors are dropping their six-cylinder options, the Accord will offer a revised and more powerful version of its familiar 3.5-liter V-6 with cylinder deactivation. But the bread-and-butter Accord will be the four-cylinder model. Direct injection helps the 2.4-liter four make at least 181 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, with improved fuel economy. A six-speed manual will be offered; the automatic will be a CVT. A plug-in-hybrid version will couple a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a 161-hp electric motor.  A 6-kWh lithium-ion battery  will offer 10 to 15 miles of city driving range and will recharge in less than four hours using a standard 120-volt outlet. Three selectable modes will allow the hybrid driver to choose among fully electric, hybrid, and “direct drive,” which decouples the electric motor for more efficient cruising.


On the safety and convenience side, Accord will now offer optional technology like a Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Crash Warning (FCW), and blind spot monitoring systems that utilize front- and side-facing cameras. In addition, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity and Pandora Internet radio now come standard. No real groundbreakers here, just existing technology that's now available to the Accord masses.
 
More interesting is what Honda hinted at for the volume selling sedan. While the new coupe retains similar dimensions as the current generation, the sedan will have a smaller overall footprint, shorter wheelbase and reduced weight. Honda claims these changes will give it better handling and improved driving dynamics (and no doubt help with the fuel economy targets).

No word on when we'll actually see the next-generation Accord, as a Honda rep tells us there are no plans to show it at the Chicago or New York auto shows, but we did learn that the 2013 Accord Plug-in Hybrid sedan launches next winter.
