An Introduction to the 2013 Accord

You probably think you know the Honda Accord pretty well. For 2013, though, Honda has re-conceptualized the popular coupe, making it unlike anything the company has built before.

These design changes mark a big step forward for a car that everyone thinks they know.

What’s Under the Hood?

The first four trim levels have the same 2.4-liter engine with four cylinders. It offers better performance than the 2012 Accord’s engine. The 2013 creates 185 hp. That’s 8 hp more than last year’s.

You can get an even more powerful engine by choosing the EX-L V6. Its 3.5-liter engine gives you 278 hp. Paired with a six-speed automatic, this engine gives you 34 mpg on the highway. That’s quite impressive for a sedan that can jump from zero to 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.

How Safe is the 2013 Honda Accord?

Honda took some shots for safety concerns a couple years ago. Now, the company has learned from its mistakes and come back stronger than ever.

Standard safety features in the 2013 Accord include:

Traction control
Antilock disc brakes
Side curtain airbags
Active head restraints
Stability control

As you progress into the upper trim levels, you get even more safety features, such as the LaneWatch blind-spot system and the forward-collision warning system.

Without or without these luxury safety features, the Accord is a safe sedan worthy of any family.
