← Japanese Oem Design Evolution
Honda has issued the following press release:
The premiere of the Accord Tourer Concept provides a strong indication of the design direction of the all-new generation Accord Tourer set to debut in mid-2008. The wider, lower look signals a sportier, more emotional styling approach, and while the design of the current Accord Tourer maximises its load-carrying capability, the new model goes for smarter, sleeker proportions while retaining a strong degree of versatility and practicality.
The Concept’s greater width makes for a more spacious cabin and also allows an increased track for enhanced handling characteristics. — all-new Mazda6 at Frankfurt.
The all-new Accord range will boast one of the first all-Euro 5-compliant engine line-ups. Two petrol engines of 2.0 and 2.4-litre capacities and a 2.2-litre i-DTEC diesel engine mirror those in the current Accord range, but power output will be boosted and emissions and fuel economy significantly improved. — Honda's all-new Fit launch.
The latest engines will be complemented by innovative new chassis technology that will deliver exceptional handling, greater linear stability and a more involving driving experience without compromising ride comfort. — Tokyo Motor Show highlights.
The all-new Accord will debut in Sedan and Tourer forms at the 2008 Geneva motor show.
