What is it?

The all-new Honda Accord model. Aimed upmarket by Honda at a more premium business buyer.

The engine is a revised 2.0-litre petrol with six-speed gearbox, fewer emissions and more power: 170g/km and 156PS respectively.

  • Lighter engine improves Accord’s balance and handling over diesel
  • Accurate steering and taut suspension makes for an involving driver
  • The Accord is now wider than before, improving interior passenger space
  • Comfortable seats make for easy long distance commuting
  • Standard Hands Free Telephone integration

What’s not?
