About 2013 Honda Accord Honda announces the all-new 2013 Accord Sedan will once again redefine sophistication, efficiency and driving joy in the midsize class. Completely redesigned for 2013, the all-new Honda Accord provides a host of powertrain, engineering, electronic and safety firsts combined with Honda's trademark visibility and smart design. All-new Earth Dreams powertrains include the first U.S. application of Honda's next-generation 2.4-liter direct-injected 4-cylinder engine. The 2013 Accord Sedan will also offer a more powerful and efficient V-6, and in early 2013, an all-new two-motor 2014 Accord Plug-in Hybrid Sedan will debut. Four transmissions are available, including the first-ever application of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on 2.4-liter 4-cylinder models, a six-speed automatic on V-6 models, and unique 6-speed manual transmissions on 2.4-liter 4-cylinder models. Other new Accord technologies include the first application of the all-new cloud-based HondaLink system, which lets drivers put away their smartphones and still stay connected to people, music and social media. Also debuting on the 2013 Accord is the exclusive available Honda LaneWatch blind-spot display, which uses a camera system mounted on the passenger mirror for an enhanced view of the passenger-side roadway. The all-new 2013 Honda Accord also receives a rearview camera and an Expanded View Driver's Mirror as standard equipment. A completely new interior provides a level of luxury and craftsmanship never before seen in the Accord. Compared to the prior edition, the 2013 Accord Sedan offers spacious accommodations for five passengers, and a roomy trunk with a flatter load floor for greater utility.
