The Accord of the Future
The new generation of Honda Accord is coming! Give way to the Accord Tourer Concept… the new Accord with sharper and sleeker proportions than its predecessors.
The Tourer concept won’t belong to the small car trend, of which is prevalent these days. Honda won’t make it smaller like other automakers have been doing to their model cars. This Honda model is wider and spacious. It has also been touched with sporty styling approach as it was briefly considered for the New Zealand market, according to an article from stuff.co.
Actually, it is still not known whether the new Tourer will or will not be able to gain access to the New Zealand market. Regardless, it would still offer a taste of the sedan version. Such concept will be of use as the new Tourer will be on display at the Tokyo Motor Show next month. And, on the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, the new Accord’s production versions will debut in both Saloon and Tourer forms.
Though the current Accord already has distinct quality and design, which made it to be the New Zealand Car of the Year in 2003, Honda still considers upgrading it with innovative chasses technology. Such technology will provide excellent driving experience without sacrificing or even just affecting the ride comfort; instead, better handling will be much more to be provided.
The new Accord will be equipped with a range of advanced, low emissions engines. Such will be provided in the markets that provide the right fuels for it, of which New Zealand is not included. If it would really be equipped with such powerful engine, it would be one of the first cars offering an entirely Euro 5-compliant lineup of engines. Powered with 2.0 L and 2.4 L petrol engines, and 2.2 L diesel, the new Accord will gain the improvement on emissions and fuel economy.
In addition, the new Accord engine will make use of the combination of the latest injection technology, more efficient exhaust gas recirculation and a diesel particulate filter, as it exceeds the Euro 5 legislation requirements. Honda said both the power and torque levels have been increased and fuel economy has been improved greater than of the current diesel engine.
Well, it sounds great. We will just have to wait for the Tokyo Motor Show to get a closer look. And, if it would turn out something to be of kept, we need to wait until the middle of next year as not until then that Honda will have it on sale.
