Photos for which you are currently watching is nothing more than a concept car the next generation model Accord, which will appear in the European car showrooms later this year.
Developers Honda remained loyal to the conservative style in design, and although the new model is certainly great, but looking at it, it’s hard to drive away the thought that she already looks obsolete in one or two generations (2009 Kia Optima, any associations?). In any case, before you need to look to the finished car and its performance before making of any verdict.But in comparison with the new 2013 Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima, Accord is clearly losing in style.
Under the hood, Honda Accord Coupe 2013 a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine from the Earth Dreams direct injection capacity of 181 hp Honda will also continue to release new model Accord with a 3.5L V6 engine capacity, but it is moribund trend in this segment. The car will be available with manual or automatic transmission, both versions with 6 gears.
In the model Accord Hybrid will use a completely new two-engine built-hybrid system with three driving modes: all-electric, gasoline-electric, and the “direct transfer” with lithium-ion battery capacity of 6 kW / h and 120-kilowatt electric motor, synchronized with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The manufacturer claims that a fully electric mode the car can pass 15-25 miles at a maximum speed of 100 km / h, while charging the battery takes less than 4 hours on a 120-volt charger, and less than 1.5 hours on a 240-volt charging. These figures are quite good for the Honda.
It is clear that the new Accord in 2013 will be stuffed with the latest safety technologies, including a warning system to change the number of movements, warning about the danger of a frontal collision, the detection of objects out of sight of the driver and a lot of rear-view camera angle. We hope to see the start of production of this car in the near future. Serial version of the model can be seen at New York Auto Show 2012, where he will be declared the price of the model. A hybrid version of the model will be a little later in the winter.

In the picture presented to the car that the company Acura called the “prototype” but it is only from a technical point of view. This is actually a production model crossover 2013 RDX, which recently debuted at the show in Detroit. This all-new, performance-oriented crossover, marked the emergence of second-generation model.
In addition to the generational change it boasts many more changes, the most significant of which was the decision to replace the manufacturer’s turbocharged four-cylinder engine to the massive 3.5-liter V6 from Honda. Capacity increased from 240 to 273 hp, and despite the addition of two cylinders, fuel economy has increased significantly.
Fuel consumption current model Acura RDX in the city is 12.2 liters per 100 km, and 9 liters on the highway, while the model 2013 with a V6 engine consumes 11.4 liters / 100 km city and 8.5 liters on the highway .

As much as we may like the new 2012 Mini Coupe, yet there are many people who did not come to the delight of this hardtop. We like the standard Cooper hatchback, and though his performance worthy of respect, it is impossible not to draw attention to its awkward design (especially in certain colors), limited visibility and a lack of functionality.
And yet, strangely, the 2013 Mini Roadster managed to interest us. If you’re going to lower the roof line of the body, thereby worsening the survey, better simply to remove the roof and get all the open bed of a more aggressive (and beautiful) view than the pretentious Convertible Cooper Convertible. This roadster is a very good look at the sun-soaked roads.
As well as the Mini Coupe in 2012 , roadster versions will be available in Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works, equipped with three engine choices. 1.6-liter four-cylinder capacity of 122, 184 and 211 hp respectively.

It is possible that a new Hyundai Elantra sedan will receive a 204-horsepower turbocharged engine, which is now installed under the hood “hot” version of the hatchback Hyundai Veloster.
Hyundai Elantra Wheel base coupe nearly 8 inches longer than the Honda Civic in 2012 . The car has an expressive look, more features, more horsepower and better fuel economy. So, if we compare these two models, the balance is more inclined to favor the former.
In Russia, two-door Elantra sales launch is planned for autumn 2012. Price model has not yet announced.
Seeing for the first time the new Nissan 370Z in 2013, it is safe to say that the latest model has lost its past aggression in the design of sports (especially when it comes to the front of the car). But it did not affect its power. 
Previous 3.7-liter V6 petrol engine develops power in 332l.s., and its new version boasts 350 “horses” under the hood.
