The new Honda Accord: not afraid of SUVs

The new Honda Accord announces that despite the significant growth and interest in the market for SUVs and crossovers, sedans have not yet been unlocked. The new Honda Accord comes with a refreshed look, updated powertrains and a much lighter design, among which there will no longer be a Coupe version.

Model year 2018 will bring already 10th generation Honda Accord. The new look of the car is yet to come more athletic than the previous model, thanks to the longer wheelbase and increased width. Due to the use of aluminum and steel, it is weight decreased for from 50 to 80 kilograms, which depends on the engine and additional equipment. The increased wheelbase will be especially welcomed by passengers on the back bench, who have now gained an additional 51 mm of legroom. The position of the front seats is slightly changed, which means more hip room and shoulders for the driver and passenger.
