the Accord is given a new level of refinement with chrome interior accents and higher grade materials. The lineup still includes the seemingly de-facto DX, LX, EX, LX-V6 and EX-V6. Mechanically, the 4-cylinder engine was the new K-series, and the 6-cylinder was the same J-series V6 as the sixth generation's, but its intake runners, exhaust, and headers contributed to a 40 hp (30 kW) increase. A 5-speed automatic transmission was also new for 2003. Now a vastly different car to the worldwide Accord, the North American model grew larger still, gaining more interior room and weight then its international counterpart. Honda sold the North American Accord in a few other markets including Asian (now made in Thailand), Middle Eastern, Caribbean, Australian and New Zealand markets with mixed results.
The 2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept refines the basic shapes of today’s car, but the details seem to knit together more effectively than with the current car, with a smoother, wraparound grille and headlights and more sculpted flanks. The 2013 Accord shrinks in external dimensions think 2013 Chevrolet Malibu but Honda says interior space is similar to today’s car, though the wheelbase is shorter and curb weight lower. Without divulging suspension, steering or brake details, Honda also says the new Accord will have more responsive handling.

In Honda’s plug-in system, a lean-burn four-cylinder and 6-kilowatt-hour battery are paired with a 120-kilowatt electric motor to give the new four-door an electric-only range of 10 to 15 miles and a top speed of 62 mph.Sport Car Wallpapers Honda Accord Wallpapers
