Honda releases info and images of revised 2011 Accord

Honda has unveiled updates to its new Accord Coupe and Sedan for the 2011 model year. Chief among the changes are improvements to the car’s aerodynamics, reduced engine friction and revised transmission gearing that all add up to increased fuel efficiency. According to the automaker, four-cylinder sedans equipped with an automatic transmission now achieve 23 miles per gallon in the city (a two mpg improvement) and 34 mpg on the highway (a three mpg improvement).

Styling updates are mostly limited to the front fascias, which now appear to be more in line with the blocky look of the Accord Crosstour… for better or for worse. Brake lights and bumpers also get slight revisions, and new wheels are optional on V6 models. The Coupe gets optional steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a USB Audio Interface, while all models with navigation get a rear view camera system.

Sadly, most models are still equipped with five-speed transmissions, both automatic and manual – save for the EX-L V6 Coupe, which gets a six-speed stick. There are a slew of additional detail and package updates, and you’ll find them all in the press release pasted after the break. We’ve also created a high-res image gallery of each model that you can browse through below. Enjoy!
