2011 Honda Accord Pricing and EPA Data Released

Honda announced today pricing details and official EPA figures of the Honda Accord 2011 model year, already on sale at US dealerships. Available both as a sedan as well as a coupe, pricing for the new Accord starts at $21,180 and can go up to $31,730.

New front grille, revised bumpers, new lightweight alloy rims, and redesigned tail lights are among the changes made by the manufacturer for 2011.

The refreshed models come with the already-introduced 177 hp or 190 hp 2.4 liter and 271 hp 3.5 liter V6 engines. However, Honda says that the vehicles offer improved mpg thanks to the use of revised aerodynamics, reduced internal engine friction and modified transmission ratios.

Most of the models have to make due with five speed automatic and manual transmissions, with the V6 coupe being the only one to offer a six speed manual as an option.

The company claims that the EPA fuel economy ratings of the sedan models powered by 4 cylinder units using automatic transmissions have been improved by 2 mpg for the city and 3 mpg for the highway, with the vehicles offering a 23/34 mpg rating respectively. The V6 version of the four-door comes with a preliminary EPA rating improvement of 1 mpg, offering 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.

Inside, the car offers better ergonomics, with the controls having been regrouped. In addition to that, the instrument cluster offers a new layout and the seats offer a fresh finish.
