The New 2013 Honda Accord

As one of the leading motor vehicle manufacturers in the world, Honda seems to stay strong and innovative. This is proven by their plan to release the 2013 Honda Accord by the end of 2012. Honda is planning on releasing 2 versions of this car: a Japanese/European version and a U.S/China/Asian version. This car will maintain its original premise as a luxury and high-performance car despite the fact that it now also focuses on its fuel efficiency as a hybrid car.

The New 2013 Honda Accord

The 2013 Honda Accord is rumoured to be available as either a sedan or a coupe, and it will come with 3 different engine types: inline-four cylinder 2.0L and 2.4L, as well as V6 3.5L. These options allow customers to choose which engine strength would suit them best in terms of maximization of driving efficiency, engine power, and performance. The plug-in hybrid petrol system operates in electric mode that allows the car to run 10-15 miles in city driving and reach a maximum speed of 62 mph. The 2.0L engine works using the two-motor system that operates through three modes (all-electric, petrol-electric and engine direct-drive mode), allowing better driving efficiency.

The 2013 Honda Accord is said to be the redesigned version of the previous Accord model and it will feature some improvements in the interior design, such as its easy-to-reach instrument panel or operation knobs. The car will be equipped with an advanced climate management system which works to circulate cold or hot air inside the car accordingly. Other notable features include trunk release, keyless entry, tilt steering wheel, and engine immobilizer, among others. To ensure the safety of its passengers, the car will also be equipped with power door locks, front facet airbags, curtain facet airbag, twin front airbags, antilock brakes and rear door child safety locks. The futuristic exterior features of this car will include P205/60R16 tires, variable intermittent wipers, and 16” alloy rims.

Honda now focuses on the production of hybrid cars, not only due to rising fuel prices, but also because of the rising concerns for the environment. Environmentally friendly vehicles have become increasingly popular for the past few years because they have better fuel economy and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to normal cars. By releasing a series of hybrid cars, Honda is doing a pretty good job at keeping up with its competitors such as Toyota, which is considered to be the pioneer in hybrid technology. The new 2013 Honda Accord is expected to do just as good as Honda’s previous hybrid cars.
