Japanese car manufacturing company, Honda, is looking to pack their upcoming vehicles, the Accord and Accord Hybrid with features that will put them in front of the sedan market. With innovative technology and a very spacious and comfortable interior, Honda seems to know exactly what its customers are looking for in their vehicles. However, how do car enthusiasts feel about the currently revealed specifications?
In a report by Valley News, the base line Accord is scheduled to be released later this month. It will be featuring a 192 horsepower engine that is outfitted with turbocharge capabilities. The capacity of the engine is at 1.5 liters, and a hybrid version of the Accord is scheduled to be released sometime next year. The Accord Hybrid is a fuel-saving car that may appeal to those who are concerned with the environment.
As of late, the sales of sedans have been experiencing a slight decrease compared to SUVs, but not significantly enough for car manufacturers to brand them as obsolete. According to CNET, the Honda Accord Hybrid could potentially be the answer to the financial problem of rising gas prices. This means that the sales of sedans could see a significant improvement, since they are more fuel-efficient compared to their bigger brothers.
The Honda Accord Hybrid may be more appealing to potential buyers this time around due to the smaller batteries that the manufacturers have outfitted the car with. The batteries are now made of lithium ion, which allow for the batteries to be more compact. Thus, there will be more space at the vehicle's trunk, where the past models of hybrids usually had their batteries. This feature provides more space for a hybrid car, without compromising fuel-efficiency.
In terms of performance, the Honda Accord Hybrid is not one to back down either. According to MSN, the upcoming car is as quiet as they come, and provides top-notch response and a decent 212 horsepower.
