New models - Honda - Accord Euro - rangeAIMS: Honda adds value to Accord EuroEuro vision: Honda’s Accord Euro has arrived in Australia with a raft of minor changes, including better mileage. Accord Euro prices fall as M12 facelift ushers in fresh styling and more features1 Jul 2011 By TERRY MARTIN HONDA Australia has continued its aggressive range-wide pricing strategy with the upgraded Accord Euro, cutting $1150 across the series – now starting at $30,340 for the entry-level six-speed manual – despite the facelifted model bringing a significant increase in standard equipment. The Luxury version now starts from $37,840, and the auto-only Luxury Navigation from $43,140. On other models, the five-speed automatic transmission continues to add $2300, while metallic paint is an extra $475 across the range. As GoAuto has reported, the Model Year 2012 Accord Euro – which was unveiled at today’s Melbourne motor show, following its world debut in Geneva in March – has arrived with steering-wheel-integrated Bluetooth, USB connectivity, a new foldaway key design and trailer stability assist as standard across the range. The entry-level Accord Euro also picks up automatic headlights and rain-sensing windscreen wipers, plus an 18-inch alloy wheel option, while the Luxury Navi model benefits from standard bi-Xenon headlights complete with automatic low/high beam and a cornering function.

Revised cabin detailing includes a new satin-finish garnish on the doorhandles, centre console, steering wheel and other interior trim. An ‘anti-dust feature’ has also been applied to the cloth trim on the entry model. A 148kW 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine continues to power the Accord Euro range, although minor tweaks see fuel efficiency improved by 2.2 per cent for six-speed manual variants – now at 8.7 litres per 100km on the Australian combined-cycle standard – and 4.5 per cent for those with a five-speed automatic transmission, down to 8.5L/100km. Honda has also revealed a $39,990 retail price (plus on-road costs) for the new luxury-oriented VTi-LN variant of its larger-bodied four-cylinder Accord, placing it $1000 above the recently repositioned VTi-L. The N-spec model includes high-grade equipment such as satellite-navigation, a reversing camera, premium audio system (including subwoofer), ‘intelligent’ dual-zone climate-control air-conditioning and new five-arm twin-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels. 2011 Honda Accord Euro pricing:Accord Euro $30,340 Accord Euro (a) $32,640 Accord Euro Luxury $37,840 Accord Euro Luxury (a) $40,140 Accord Euro Luxury Navigation (a) $43,140  Read more27th of June 2011  AIMS: Honda set for CR-Z launchHonda to show off CR-Z hybrid in Melbourne as fresh Accord Euro reaches showrooms10th of June 2011  Honda Civic sedan gets more equipmentCivic sedan gets more goodies at no extra cost as Honda awaits all-new model13th of May 2011  Top-spec Honda Accord V6 to get a June faceliftSubtle styling tweaks and more standard features for Honda’s Accord large sedanAll new models Alfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chery Brabham Chrysler Chevrolet Cupra Citroen DS Dodge Fiat Ferrari Foton Ford Great Wall FPV Haval GWM Honda Holden Hyundai HSV Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Pagani Opel Porsche Peugeot Ram Proton Rolls-Royce Renault Saab Rover Smart Skoda Subaru SsangYong Tesla Suzuki Volkswagen Toyota VolvoMotor industry news GoAutoNews is Australia’s number one automotive industry journal covering the latest news, future and new model releases, market trends, industry personnel movements, and international events. |
