This coming March, at the Geneva Motor Show, there will be an unveiling of a more potent and a more sporty Accord Type S, a version of Honda’s D-sector model that comes with the famous 2.2-liter i-DTEC diesel powerplant.

Unlike the regular Honda Accord, the powerplant of the Type S comes with a modified turbocharger, cylinder head and a larger intercooler to generate 180PS at 4000 rpm, about 30PS over the regular model at the same engine speed.Likewise, torque has also increased from the standard’s 350 Nm to 380 Nm at 2000rpm. Honda is expecting positive reception of this diesel-powered Accord to the extent that it would provide attraction to other Accord variants in the range. Besides the increase in power, the Type S comes with the latest design of 18-inch alloys with clear indicator covers, Type S logo and a choice between Premium White Pearl and Basque Red paint finish. There are also two body options available; saloon and Tourer which comes with manual transmission. More details will be made available, including pricing, at a later date.
