The ninth generation of the U.S. model of the Honda Accord was also offered as a coupe, like all of its previous generations. It was the first Accord Coupe that was also available as a plug-in hybrid.
The Accord had a long history in its back before it reached its ninth generation. It had 37 years, to be more accurate. The renown reliability and the ease of drive made the Accord the best selling mid-size sedans on the market. For some, the ninth coupe generation may look a lot like the model it replaced it, but it was almost completely new from top to bottom.
The outside styling kept the overall shape in a fastback look, but it was slightly shorter with the wheelbase decreased by 16 mm (0.6”) and 43 mm (1.7”) in length. There were some chromed details on the outside, such as around the grille and around the side windows.
Inside, the interior offered better rear passenger legroom despite the shorter wheelbase over its previous generation. That was possible by moving the front seats forward since the car had a different front suspension. The dashboard featured two displays on it, one for the on-board computer and navigation system and the other exclusively for the audio. Only the latter was a touch-screen since the former was too far to reach by the driver.
Under the hood, there were few engine options, starting with a 2.4-liter unit. For the ecology fans, the manufacturer installed a plug-in hybrid version with a 2.0-liter Atkinson Cycle gasoline engine. The top version remained the 3.5-liter V6. The V6 was fitted as standard with a close-ratio 6-speed manual.
