More engaging and agile, more dynamic styling, lower, wider, longer, with
improved performance and more luxurious - welcome to the second-generation Honda
Accord Euro.
Honda's all-new second-generation Euro offers sporty styling, greater
refinement and luxury, with a comprehensive package of safety systems together
with excellent dynamic capabilities and strong environmental credentials in
the form of a Euro 4-emissions compliant engine.
Significantly wider, slightly lower and longer, the styling adopts a more
chiselled design, with pronounced muscular wheel-arches that emphasise the car's
wider track and gives the Euro a distinctive, strong stance with a solid,
planted feel.The distinctive nose and more flowing lines deliver a tauter, more
athletic shape.
The 2.4-litre engine is more powerful, delivering 148 kilowatts (up from 140
kilowatts) at 7000 rpm and peak torque of 234 Nm (up from 223 Nm) at 4400 rpm
(manual transmission). Its sporty performance is all the more remarkable given
the improved fuel economy - now just 8.9l/100km (down from 9.1l/100km manual
transmission and 9.4l/100km automatic transmission).
Behind the figures are a compression ratio increase from 10.5 to 11.0:1,
larger diameter valves, revised valve timing and reduced exhaust system
pressures.
When launched in 2003, the Euro reinvigorated the Honda brand thanks to its
blend of sporty performance, quality and refinement. And now, some five years
and around 45,000 sales later, the second generation Euro is set to further
invigorate the Australian medium vehicle segment.
