2013 Honda Accord Coupe concept premiere set for Detroit

By ,

The upcoming North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit will pack a heavy dose of new Honda products. In addition to the resurrected NSX, 2013 RDX and ILX concept from its Acura division, the Japanese automaker will unveil the new 2013 Honda Accord Coupe concept.

Details remain scarce for now, but we know that the car will benefit from the next generation of Honda powertrains when it hits the road next fall.

A 3.5L V6 engine featuring direct injection and new VTEC variable valve timing setup will sit under the hood along with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and start/stop system. Consequently, the 2013 Honda Accord Coupe is expected to deliver 5% more power and 10% more fuel economy.

As for styling, the production model will likely mirror the concept if the company's latest debuts (2012 Civic and CR-V) are any indication.

Following the NAIAS, the 2013 Honda Accord Coupe concept will head to Toronto's Canadian International Auto Show on February 16th for its first public appearance in the country.
