The all-new 2013 Accord Sedan and Coupe, a storied nameplate that will once again
redefine sophistication, efficiency and driving joy in the midsize class. Completely
redesigned for 2013, the all-new Honda Accord provides a host of powertrain, engineering,
electronic and safety firsts combined with Honda’s trademark visibility and smart
design.
Better, not bigger, the completely new Honda Accord lineup includes Sedan and
Coupe models powered by 4-cylinder, V-6 and hybrid powertrains, teamed to manual,
automatic and continuously variable transmission (CVT) options. An all-new, two-motor
2014 Accord Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) Sedan is scheduled to debut in early 2013, followed
by a conventional hybrid based on the same powertrain architecture in the summer
of 2013.
Using the most high-strength steel in the model’s history, the 2013 Honda Accord
Sedan and Coupe bodies combine sophisticated and athletic styling with remarkable
aerodynamic streamlining. Revised Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body
structures improve frontal crash safety, making the all-new Accord one of few midsize
offerings expected to excel in the upcoming small-overlap frontal barrier crash
test.
All-new Earth Dreams™ powertrains include the first U.S. application of Honda’s
next-generation 2.4-liter direct-injected 4-cylinder engine. The 2013 Accord Sedan
and Coupe will also offer a more powerful and efficient V-6, and in early 2013,
an all-new two-motor 2014 Accord Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) Sedan will debut. Four transmissions
are available, including the first-ever application of a continuously variable transmission
(CVT) on 2.4-liter 4-cylinder models, a six-speed automatic on V-6 models, and unique
6-speed manual transmissions on 2.4-liter 4-cylinder models and the 3.5-liter V-6
Coupe. Fuel efficiency is the best ever for an Accord in the EPA Midsize class,
with 4-cylinder models earning up to an EPA 36 mpg highway rating and V-6 models
getting up to an EPA 34 mpg highway rating.
Other new Accord technologies include the first application of the all-new cloudbased
HondaLink™ system, which lets drivers put away their smartphones and still stay
connected to the people, music and social media they love. Also debuting on the
2013 Accord is the exclusive available Honda LaneWatch™ blind-spot display, which
uses a camera system mounted on the passenger mirror for an enhanced view of the
passenger-side roadway. The all-new 2013 Honda Accord also receives a rearview camera
and an Expanded View Driver's Mirror as standard equipment.
