The 8th generation Accord has been a great looker since its introduction in May 2008. The sharp edges, long sleek body and rather muscular stance have definitely helped in the appeal department. Enhancing its looks, Honda has tweaked the car with a minor facelift.

The face lifted Honda Accord is now available in the market. The car boasts of a revised the front bumper, new front grille to offer a bolder chrome look, enhanced the rear with some chrome bezel around the taillights, indicators on the ORVMs and spiced up the package by offering a set of alloy wheels that feature an all new design. These changes are across both the 2.4 liter and V6 models. In addition to these changes, the 2.4 liter model also boasts of a sunroof and wooden like interior inserts as standard. These two features were earlier only available on the V6 Accord.

Speaking about the car, Mr. Takashi Nagai, President & CEO, Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., said "Honda Accord has been one of the most successful premium sedans in its category with over 25000 units sold since its launch in India setting new standards in exclusivity, comfort and safety. Our belief in constantly upgrading our products based on customer feedback prompted this launch of an upgraded version of the Accord with unique styling in combination with luxurious features."

The changes are all cosmetic and though they don't seem monumental, one must understand that the Accord was a formidable entry level luxury sedan in the first place.  With the new enhancements, the Accord just becomes a better package to own and the real winner is the customer who opts for the 2.4 liter version, for that is where you are getting more bang for your buck.

The 2.4L Accord comes with 5-speed Manual Transmission and 5-speed Automatic transmission with Paddle shifts. The 3.5L V6 engine features an advanced Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system that switches between six-, four-, and three-cylinder combustion depending on the driving conditions and thereby delivering maximum power of 275 PS during six cylinder operation and impressive fuel economy in VCM mode while cruising.
