Production volume of the new Honda Accord should be around 450 000 a year
- The Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima have been among the top five passenger car sales in the United States for more than a decade. These three directly competitive D-segment sedans outperform the Chevrolet (Malibu) and Ford (Fusion) in the same segment. In 2016, 390,000 Toyota Camry, 345,000 Honda Accord, and 305,000 Nissan Altima were sold on the US market, compared to 260,000 Ford Fusion and 230,000 Chevrolet Malibu.
- Six months after the introduction of the new generation of the Toyota Camry at the Detroit Auto Show, Honda presents the new generation of the Honda Accord, which will still be produced at the Marysville, Ohio site.
- The new Accord abandons the V6 engine and the coupe version. It is equipped exclusively with 4-cylinder gasoline engines: a 1.5 turbo developing 192ch and a 2.0 turbo developing 252 hp. These two engines will be connected to a six-speed manual transmission as well as a CVT (1.5) and a 10-speed automatic (2.0). A hybrid version will be released later on.
- The design, of the bicorps type, keeps a conventional trunk, in line with the taste of the American clientele. The new Accord has a longer wheelbase (+55 mm), a lowered height (-15 mm), a wider body (+10 mm) and a shorter length (-10 mm). The objective of Honda is to sell 400,000 Accord per year on the US market, as much as Toyota Camry. The volume of production is expected to be around 450,000 units per year.
