  A track-proven take on exhilaration

  Why are some coupes quicker than others? It’s all in the numbers. Take 190 and 162, for example. That’s the amount of horsepower and lb.-ft. of torque produced by the 2.4-litre, 16-valve, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine. For a more powerful example, take 271 and 254. That’s the amount of horsepower and lb.-ft. of torque produced by the available 3.5-litre, 24-valve, i-VTEC V6 engine. And for the ultimate performance example, take the available 3.5 litre, 24-valve, VTEC® V6 engine with its quick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission and jaw-dropping power, response and acceleration.

  A balance of fuel efficiency and performance

  Plus, like its Sedan sibling, the Accord Coupe EX-L V6 automatic transmission model features the Variable Cylinder Management® (VCM®) system. So depending on whether you’re accelerating, cruising or idling, the system activates or deactivates the engine’s operating cylinders from 6- to 4- to 3-cylinder mode, offering you optimized fuel efficiency without compromising performance.

Accord Coupe Handling

• 
  It takes corners very seriously

  Where does the Accord Coupe get its precision handling? From its wide stance, balanced power-to-weight ratio and sport-tuned high-mount double-wishbone suspensions. But it also comes from something called variable gear ratio (VGR) steering. This innovative system provides you with a precise, on-centre feel at high speeds and the kind of low-speed manoeuvrability and agility you might expect from a smaller vehicle. And just to be safe, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) helps to correct any over- or under-steering in corners, so you’ll be ready for whatever twist, turn or curve the road throws at you.

• 
  Flat, stable cornering

  The independent double-wishbone front suspension helps ensure your tires are always in contact with the road for added control and flat, stable cornering.

• 
  Solid handling

  The multi-link double-wishbone rear suspension’s compact in-wheel design helps improve your overall handling and reduces vehicle roll to ensure that nice, flat-cornering feel. Both the front and rear suspension systems are attached to the Accord’s subframe and unit body to help isolate road noise, absorb any vibration and maximize vehicle control.

  Stopping power

  The Accord’s power-assisted, ventilated front disc and solid rear disc brakes provide you with smooth, fade-resistant stopping power when you need it.
