The 2011 Honda Accord for Europe

In Europe he'll be in April but its debut will be at the Geneva Motor Show: Honda Accord coming then, in sedan and hatchback (or wagon), updated in style but also in technique. Along the list of actions, some important, some less significant, but all aimed at making the most modern and ecological model of the Japanese brand.

The styling has been revised beginning with the new bumpers and new headlights, cleaner lines, also available in the fitting than bi-xenon headlights and the adaptive system for better visibility. Reshaped front grille with the two central fins finished in chrome like the edge. Also redesigned the conduit for cooling the housing of the fog lights.

Later changes the color of the reverse gear and arrows, now all in red. He also added three new colors: Alabaster Silver, Graphite and Celestial Blue Pearl Lustre. Updates for the extensions that provide new materials for the seats and door trim and detail to the Top of the range. A major upgrade for the diesel engine 150 hp 2.2-liter i-DTEC, which has improved fuel consumption and emissions through measures that have reduced friction losses inside, with a reduction of 9 g / km emissions in CO2 in the sedan with 6-speed manual transmission and 11 g / km in the version with automatic transmission.

An improvement to which he contributed a careful aerodynamic study, which provided, inter alia, a flow diverter and larger front tires with a low coefficient of rolling resistance and the optimization of gear ratios. In terms of lighting, in addition to the system Active Cornering Lights for better visibility when cornering, the new Accord proposes the High Beam Support System which automatically adjusts the high beam headlights when the sensor feels the presence of oncoming cars, or lights the rear car of the above, in which case the lights are reset in standard mode.
