Honda unveiled the 2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept yesterday in Detroit. The new concept has been completely redesigned inside and out. The aggressive look of the Accord Coupe concept can be attributed to a new hood design, a new front bumper with circular LED fog lights and new headlights.
The back of the Accord has newly designed taillights and dual exhaust pipes. We’re not sure what design changes will actually make it to production but we hope most of them do.
The 2013 Honda Accord Coupe concept will be the ninth generation of the Accord lineup and will be available in a number of different models. The 2013 Accord Coupe will have a 2.4-liter, 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC® four-cylinder engine developing 181 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. You’ll be able to choose either a 6-speed manual transmission or a newly developed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
A more powerful V6 version of the Accord Coupe 2013 will have a 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 engine. Honda will sell the 2013 Accord Coupe with the Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology, which will be available for the automatic versions of the model. A Hybrid model with a 2.0 liter, i-VTEC four-cylinder gasoline engine will also be available. Honda claims that the 2013 Accord Coupe will have a range of 10-15 miles in city in the electric-only mode, at a top speed of 62 mph.
We can’t wait to see the final version parked in our show room. We’ll make sure to post any production updates and photos to our sites and Facebook pages. Once we have an actually launch date we’ll let everyone know when the first one arrives. Hopefully it’s a red V6 model!
