(from Honda Press
Release) The all-new 2008 Honda Accord moves the world of
mainstream transportation in a refined, dynamic and sophisticated
direction with an expanded range of innovative technologies designed
for more power, greater efficiency and enhanced safety across the
entire lineup of sedans and coupes.
Completely redesigned
for 2008 with increased dimensions for a more spacious interior, the
sedan styling theme expresses a powerful presence with sharp and
strong character lines. The coupe is further individualized with an
aggressive stance and unique proportions that create a muscular,
sporty demeanor.
The all-new Honda
Accord has become more advanced and refined with a new level of
engineering sophistication, said John Mendel, executive vice
president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. As the Honda brands
flagship automobile, the Accord is designed to exceed expectations
with premium technology, a more spacious interior and increased
power, while retaining the fun-to-drive character and innovative
feel that has always distinguished the Accord.
An available 3.5-liter
i-VTEC V-6 engine produces 268-horsepower the most ever for any
Accord while introducing a new generation of fuel-saving Variable
Cylinder Management (VCM) technology and achieving a Partial Zero
Emissions Vehicle (PZEV1) rating. The VCM system operates in
six-cylinder mode for power and 4- and 3-cylinder modes for
efficiency, resulting in an EPA city/highway fuel economy rating of
19/292 miles per gallon (Accord Sedan V-6).
Also new for Accord, an Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE)
body structure enhances frontal collision compatibility with
vehicles of different sizes and bumper heights. Additional safety
equipment standard to all Accord models includes Vehicle Stability
Assist (VSA), also known as Electronic Stability Control;
sidecurtain airbags; dual-chamber front side airbags with
passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), active
front seat head restraints, anti-lock brakes and more.
The Accord is available
in sedan and coupe body styles with 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and
3.5-liter V-6 engine choices. Available transmissions include a
5-speed manual (standard with all 4-cylinder engines), a 5-speed
automatic (standard on sedan V-6 models, available with all
4-cylinder engines and V-6-powered Accord Coupes,) and a 6-speed
manual transmission (exclusive to the Accord Coupe EX-L V-6 6MT).
Sedan trim levels range
from the well-equipped Accord Sedan LX and plus featured LX-P
(177-horsepower 4-cylinder engine), to the nicely-equipped Accord
Sedan EX (190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine or 268-horsepower V-6
engine), to the premium and upscale Accord Sedan EX-L
(190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine or 268-horsepower V-6 engine).
Coupe trim levels range from the well-equipped Accord Coupe LX-S
(190 horsepower 4-cylinder engine), to the nicely-equipped Accord
Coupe EX (190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine) to the premium and
upscale Accord Coupe EX-L (190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine or
268-horsepower V-6 engine).
