Engine and transmission are expected to be untouched, except for some minor electronic tweaks. The 2.4-liter 4 cylinder petrol motor generating 177 bhp and the top-end 3.5-liter V6 churning out 271 bhp will continue duties under the hood.

Cosmetic changes are plenty on the new Accord with the front end receiving a dollop of chrome. Front bumper, grille, rear deck lid and wheel design are new. The rear has 7 Series inspired tail lamps and the twin exhausts exuding aggression.
