Honda are aiming to put even more pressure on our big home grown Aussie sedans with the introduction of their new Accord. The 2008 Accord features more power, more space, improved economy, more refinement and technology. It’s even more environmentally-friendly.

Honda has recognised that Australians like their big family cars for their comfort, ease of driving, passenger-carrying capacity and their ability to soak up long journeys. Honda are now claiming that their new Accord addresses the one area where the big sedans don’t perform as well as would be liked – fuel economy.

The 3.5 litre 202kW V6 that powers the 2008 Accord achieves 10.0 litres/100km, while the 2.4 litre 133kW engine sips just 8.8 litres/100km. Emissions are similarly low with the V6 producing 239 grams of CO2 and the four-cylinder 209 grams of CO2.

The 2008 Accord V6 is not only Honda's most powerful Accord ever, it is also among the most powerful in the Australian large car segment with 202 kilowatts, while torque is an equally impressive 339 Newton metres.

The Accord has also grown larger to meet the needs of customers with "equal" front and rear seating comfort for five adults.
