Honda Motors has officially announced that the 2013 Accord sedan carries has managed impressive Environmental Protection Agency certified ratings of up to 36 mpg highway.
Those numbers come from the base engine, the new 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 185 hp and 177 pound-feet of torque, but only in combination with the optional Nissan CVT gearbox, which also gets 27 mpg city for a combined 30 mpg.
With a manual gear box, the Accord returns 34 mpg highway, 24 mpg city and 28 mpg combined.
These improved figures are largely down to the new transmission and the direct-injection system, but also to smaller changes like the introduction of an electric power steering system.
The 3.5-liter V6 Accord isn’t bad either, returning 34 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined and 21 mpg city.
