Honda will unveil at the Geneva Motor Show (1.-3.13.2011) the revised Accord. The model is refreshed visually something that gets more efficient engines and optimized chassis. Also the sound insulation has been improved. New to the program, the Accord Type S with 132 kW / 180 hp 2.2 i-DTEC diesel engine.

The new model year must be identified on fine contoured headlamps with clear glass indicators, modified bumpers with more accented air intakes and a full chrome grille. The rear received a decent polish. The upper trim levels Lifestyle, Executive, and Type S have standard bi-xenon headlamps with active light (ACL) and high beam automatic.

All S models feature high-quality, dark gray part leather seats and a black headliner. Applications in metal-look accents, and in red, the color on handbrake, shift knob, steering wheel and door panels. Instruments and foot space are illuminated in the Type S red. By reducing internal engine friction losses, for example, could reduce CO2 emissions from the sedan with 6-speed manual transmission with the 2.2-liter diesel engine with 110 kW / 150 PS at 9 grams per kilometer and with automatic transmission at 11 g / km will be reduced.

This is less than the Accord, the major 140-gram limit. A new front spoiler and the car's floor coverings improve the aerodynamics. In cooperation with German and British specialists, the suspension of the Accord chassis to the road conditions in Europe was matched. Detail improvements to the shock absorbers to improve both the stability of rapid cross-country trips and the handling characteristics especially on bad roads.

The new generation of the Honda Accord will be available from April this year in the trade. (Ampnet / jri)
