2012 Accord Coupe
The power of two.
The 2012 Accord Coupe is a bold two-door declaration of your driving independence come to life. From its low, wide, aggressive stance and smooth aerodynamic lines to a little something called the “most powerful Accord engine ever," the Accord Coupe is driving confidence and exhilaration in one futuristic package.
EXTERIOR
Magnetic exterior
Why does the Accord Coupe render so many drivers speechless? Just look at it. Its sporty look, more aggressive front and low and wide stance gives it a “ready to pounce” personality. Its sleek aerodynamic design and raked front-to-rear body style points to more than 50 years of Honda’s competitive racing and innovative engineering heritage.
Roll up in style
Check out the eye-catching extras, such as available 17- and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, jewel-like brake lights and available dual exhaust with chrome finishers.
Cut through the fog
The Accord Coupe’s available fog lights add just the right touch of style and clarity to your ride.
Rear decklid spoiler
A definitive hit of attitude and style, the Accord Coupe’s rear decklid spoiler keeps all eyes glued to your ride.
INTERIOR
Refined in every way
In what way is the Accord Coupe’s interior like a cockpit? In virtually every way. From the sculpted, form-fitting comfort of the available leather-trimmed seats to the intuitively located switches and easy-to-read instrument panel, command and control abound.
For your listening pleasure
The Coupe puts you centre stage with amenities such as the 270-watt AM/FM/CD Premium audio system with 6-disc in-dash CD changer and 7 speakers, including subwoofer, and MP3/Windows Media® Audio playback capability and available XM® Satellite Radio*.
Command central
The Accord Coupe takes you all over the map, and back again with ease. That’s courtesy of its available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with bilingual Voice Recognition and HandsFreeLink™-bilingual Bluetooth® wireless mobile phone interface.
Luxury detailing
Whether it’s the extravagance of its available leather-wrapped shift knob, the sleek lines of its available chrome door handles, or the simple utility of its auto-dimming rearview mirror, the Accord Coupe is as great as the sum of its parts.
SAFETY
The highly innovative Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE) body structure disperses frontal impact energy, increasing occupant protection. Additionally, the ACE frame design allows for collision compatibility between vehicles of different weights and sizes.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control senses and corrects oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance handling and cornering stability, while Traction Control helps ensure grip during acceleration on loose or slippery surfaces.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
For added safety and enhanced fuel efficiency, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) continually monitors the air pressure in each tire. If pressure drops in any tire, an alert appears on the driver’s instrument panel.
Performance & Handling
A track-proven take on exhilaration
Why are some coupes quicker than others? It’s all in the numbers. Take 190 and 162, for example. That’s the amount of horsepower and lb.-ft. of torque produced by the 2.4-litre, 16-valve, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine. For a more powerful example, take 271 and 254. That’s the amount of horsepower and lb.-ft. of torque produced by the available 3.5-litre, 24-valve, i-VTEC V6 engine. And for the ultimate performance example, take the available 3.5 litre, 24-valve, VTEC® V6 engine with its quick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission and jaw-dropping power, response and acceleration.
A balance of fuel efficiency and performance
Plus, like its Sedan sibling, the Accord Coupe EX-L V6 automatic transmission model features the Variable Cylinder Management® (VCM®) system. So depending on whether you’re accelerating, cruising or idling, the system activates or deactivates the engine’s operating cylinders from 6- to 4- to 3-cylinder mode, offering you optimized fuel efficiency without compromising performance.
It takes corners very seriously
Where does the Accord Coupe get its precision handling? From its wide stance, balanced power-to-weight ratio and sport-tuned high-mount double-wishbone suspensions. But it also comes from something called variable gear ratio (VGR) steering. This innovative system provides you with a precise, on-centre feel at high speeds and the kind of low-speed manoeuvrability and agility you might expect from a smaller vehicle. And just to be safe, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) helps to correct any over- or under-steering in corners, so you’ll be ready for whatever twist, turn or curve the road throws at you.
Flat, stable cornering
The independent double-wishbone front suspension helps ensure your tires are always in contact with the road for added control and flat, stable cornering.
