Honda Launches New Accord In India

Honda Siel today launched the latest generation Accord in the country. The car comes with only one 2.4 liter engine making 180Ps of power. Three trim levels are on offer, namely 2.4, 2.4 Elegance and 2.4 Inspire. You get all the features you expect from a car of this category like ABS, Airbags etc.

Also on offer is a five speed automatic transmission with paddle shift behind the steering wheel, a first in the segment. The best bit about the gearbox is that it doesn’t shift up automatically in the sports mode. That means you can stay in the power band and shift up late.



The new car is bigger than the old one, and looks decidedly more German than Japanese, although what we get in India is the American version not the European one. The best bit though is the price. The range starts at 16.5lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to 18.2lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it cheaper than the Camry, its biggest rival.

Another huge seller for Honda? I think so.
