In 2006, Honda introduced a facelift for the entire U.S. model's sixth generation and brought a long-awaited manual V-6 version for the coupe.
In 2005, Honda Accord celebrated its 30th anniversary, and that called for some special editions. But the Japanese carmaker did that change for the entire lineup and gave its customers more reasons for satisfaction. It didn't make only some minor stylistic changes, but it added some small improvements on the drivetrain.
At the front, the 2006 model-year Accord coupe sported the same curved triangular headlights but added daytime running lights as standard. Previously, that featured was available only in Canada. A redesigned bumper with shorter but taller side-scoops adorned the apron, while the lip-spoiler was black. The door mirrors received standard heating. In the back, the carmaker installed a new set of LED taillights. A set of 17" light-alloy wheels became standard for the V-6 versions.
The interior was slightly redesigned, featuring a new steering wheel cover and restyled gear selector for the automatic transmission versions. Inside the instrument cluster, Honda adopted new colored gauges and. A new sat-nav system with a faster processor, more memory, and some detailed POI information replaced the older navigation device.
Most importantly, the Accord Coupe V-6 received a six-speed manual for the first time. Thanks to a new intake manifold, the 2006 version provided two more ponies than the 242 hp from the non-facelifted version. A similar change happened for the base, 2.4-liter engine, and gave it a boost of six horse-power.
