The new European Accord is slated to go on sale in the UK from mid-2008. It's wider, lower look signals a more sporty styling approach. Innovative chassis technology will deliver a driving experience without compromising ride comfort. It will be powered by a range of engines.

The Accord Tourer concept has sleeker proportions than its predecessor, yet greater width, which makes for a spacious cabin and also allows for an increase in the track.

The new European Accord will be one of the first cars to offer an entirely Euro 5-compliant engine line-up. Two petrol engines of 2.0 and 2.4-litre capacities and a 2.2-litre diesel engine mirror those in the current European Accord range, but power output will be boosted and emissions and fuel economy improved.

Production versions of the new Accord will debut in Saloon and Tourer forms at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.
