Honda has proven, once again that beauty and functionality can work together to create a vehicle that will really turn heads. The 2012 Honda Accord sports a reworked front grill which, while adding a certain element of class, also contains a reworked cooling system to make sure to the powerful engine is always running at peak efficiency. The bumpers have been reworked to include improved front and tail lights and the premium models include bi-Xenon headlights with active cornering technology. These refinements continue to prove that the Honda Accord 2012 models haven’t sacrificed design for safety.
Under the bonnet, the 2012 Accord sports an improved version of the 2.2-liters i-DTEC diesel unit, which delivers the same output as the current model – 150 horsepower and 350 Nm of peak torque at 2000 revs, but boasts 9 g/km drop in CO2 emissions on the saloon achieving 140 g/km CO2 figure (6-speed manual) and an 11 g/km reduction for the automatic variant.
In the terms of styling refinement, the freshened Honda showcases small yet noticeable changes to the headlights and bumpers. In the high-end grades, the lights are now bi-xenon and feature Active Cornering Lights, improving on the night time visibility. Furthermore, a sportier appearance has been achieved through a upgraded grille, more aggressive cooling duct and fog lights, restyled tail lights and 17-inch lightweight alloys.
Continuing inside the cabin, the soon-to-debut Honda Accord has new dark silver interior panels and bright silver door handles and handbrake, while ES grades now benefit from new seat materials and door linings.
On technology level, an Active Cornering Lights system and High Beam Support have been added to the refined ride, which is scheduled for market launch in the UK from July.
