Honda has sharpened its 2001 model Accord making it smoother, quieter and more refined by adding more equipment, extra safety features and upgrading its general aesthetics. The Honda Accord has been renowned for its finesse and refinement over many years. However, recent models have not quite reached their usual standard, particularly in the area of road and general operational noise. It is this area that Honda has sought to address in the 2001 model upgrade. From the exterior, the Accord has been given a more aggressive stance with a higher bonnet line, a new chrome grille and minor changes to the front bumper. Although minor cosmetic changes have been adopted at the rear, these are only visible when comparing directly with the previous model. The most obvious change visible from the outside is the adoption of alloy wheels on the base model VTi-L. Pricing for the Accord starts at $38,900 for the VTi-L manual, with an additional $2000 for the automatic version. The V6 is priced at $49,100 and the V6L tops the range at $52,900. Metallic paint and a rear spoiler are optional on all models for an additional $259 and $574 respectively, and a CD player can be added to the VTi-L models for $536. The standard equipment level on the base model has been raised, closing the gap between it and the upper level V6 variants. The list includes torque-sensitive power steering, ABS brakes, dual front airbags, air conditioning, cruise control, remote central locking, power windows, alloy wheels, leather trim and electric height adjustment on the driver’s seat. Apart from the obvious more powerful engine, the top-of-theline V6 model adds dual exhausts, larger tyres, woodgrain dash facia, power sunroof, climatecontrol air conditioning and an upgraded stereo with CD player. Although the low emission (LEV), 2.3 litre, four cylinder, DOHC, 16 valve engine is basically the same unit as fitted to the previous model, it has been subjected to a number of refinements to suppress engine noise and vibration. This has been achieved by upgrading engine mountings, applying thicker and more effective insulation, fitting an improved crankshaft pulley damper, redesigning the engine air intake to reduce induction noise and upgrading ancillary component mountings.
