Honda Accord (2012–18)

Honda Accord. 2012 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan, 2-door coupé. F/F, 1993 cm³ plug-in electric–petrol hybrid, 1993 cm³ petrol–electric hybrid, 2354 cm³ petrol (4 cyl. DOHC), 3471 cm³ (V6 OHC). Much stiffer and more refined Accord, though front double-wishbone suspension replaced with MacPherson struts (rear retained multi-link suspension). Lighter than previous Inspire, thanks to use of aluminium in front subframe and a slight reduction in size. More goodies on the inside, including higher-resolution LCD displays of varying resolutions depending on spec, blind-spot monitor, and Bluetooth. More torque from revised 2·4 four; V6 improved for more power. Hybrid model went on sale in Japan from mid-2013 (no other engine options were available), along with plug-in hybrid.
