Honda Accord Tourer: Durchdacht and practically

With sumptuous loading space and practical solutions in the interior the new Honda Accord Tourer goes to the start. For few days the combination stands now with the German dealers. The prices go with the 2,0-Liter-Motor with 16 valves and 114 kW/155 HP with 23.900 euro loosely. In all equipment and engine variants surcharge for the Tourer amounts to opposite the four-door notchback 1,500 euro.

In the comparison to the Accord sedan with the Tourer the wheel base was extended by four centimeters to 2.72 meters , the external length was added even by eight centimeters on 4.76 meters: above all a result of the clearly larger tail overhang. That leads in connection with the roof line dropping to the rear and at the same time the easily rising belt line to one stresses slim silhouette - even if the proportions are less balanced than with the notchback.

The extension of wheel base and body used engineers not, in order to goennen the rear passengers more legroom - that is appropriate "for the fahrzeugklasse" according to opinion of Honda anyway. Rather to as sumptuous trunk and a loading space volume as possible one paid attention: Until under the roof load, the Tourer takes up proud 921 litres luggage.

The loading space

Owing to thought out construction of the asymmetrically divided fondsitzes been sufficient in each case a handle, in order to turn the backrest down, while the outside head restraints folded forward at the same time and the upholstered seat places itself automatically perpendicularly behind the front seat - an exemplary solution, particularly since also the lateral mounting plates of the backrests and the belts are integrated including support mechanism into the seat. Thus a 1.82 meters long, pot-even loading area develops . Who uses the volume completely, considerable 1,657 litres can stow load away in the Tourer.

The virtues of the Tourer are rounded off by the electrical manipulation for the rear flap, standard with all models . A push of a button at the key trailer is sufficient, and the hecktuer surrt in less than ten seconds upward. Whom too for a long time lasts, which can open and close the flap naturally also manually. Because in place of the spare wheel a tire repair set (Honda Instant Mobility system) is used, a scratch-proof tub with further 50 litres of volume is under the load bay floor. With so much absorption capacity the additional load - depending upon model and equipment 380 to 498 Kilos - could fail calmly somewhat more highly.

The equipment

In things equipment does not differ the new hone since combination up to combination-specific things from the sedan. All versions have an extensive safety package inclusive front and Seitenairbags, Kopfairbags in front and in the back as well as EXP. in addition come Annehmlichkeiten like four electrical window lifters, radio with CD Player and remote maintenance at the steering wheel as well as a 12-Volt-Steckdose in the loading space. The "Sport" package covers additionally among other things alarm installation, rain sensor and light alloy wheels. With "type S" is added beside the stronger engine with six-course transmission still another aerodynamics kit. Luxurioesen a character has the "Executive" with sixfold CD change-over switch, electrical driver's seat adjustment and xenon light inclusive headlight washer.

Also technically the Tourer corresponds to the Accord sedan to a large extent. With an exception: In order to optimize the load volume, a particularly space-saving semi-trailing arm rear axle is used in place of the double wishbone axle. On the handling characteristics has however no influence. As the sedan also the combination ranks among the particularly drivingactive automobiles, which connect supple suspension and unreeling comfort with unproblematic handling.

The engines

Both engines act extremely with high engine speed and cultivate . Already the 2,0-Liter-Version offers with 205 km/h point an according to rank value, also the normal consumption of 8,3 litres premium fuel goes into order. With the stronger 2,4-Liter-Aggregat , which carries 140 KW /190 HP out, the Tourer is with 220 km/h maximum speed again clearly more quickly on the way, however expense the expense of a higher consumption of 9,7 litres per 100 kilometer.

Honda expects that to at the end of of 2003 approximately 2,000 customers will decide for the Accord Tourer. The sedan is to find approximately 5,000 customers. For a clear demand thrust the Japanese hope, if starting from January 2004 for both bodies the completely new Common Rail Turbodiesel with more than 103 kW/140 HP is available (mid)

Here's what I've gotten out of it:

60/40 split folding rear seat
576 Liters of capacity w/ seats up; 921 Liters ( i.e. cubic meters) with the rear seats folded down.

Other wise, 190-ish HP from the K24 motor in other European Accord models, with a 5spd manual as standard -and 5spd automatic availiable.

Coming to market toward the end of 2003.
