Description:
The all-new 1998 Honda Accord Coupe combines a dynamic new look with more powerful engines, an advanced suspension, a stronger body and a larger interior to take on the mid-size, sporty-coupe segment.
The Coupe's bold styling, distinctive from the best-selling Accord Sedan, was designed and developed by Honda's Research and Development operations in North America. As a result, the Coupe has dramatic new styling and shares only the headlights with the Sedan.
For the first time, a V-6 powerplant is available in the Coupe and it's one of the most powerful in the class. The 200-horsepower, 3.0-liter, 24-valve aluminum V-6 features Honda's patented VTEC system (variable valve timing and lift electronic control) and moves the new Coupe from 0-60 in 8.2 seconds. The Coupe also is available with a 150-horsepower, 2.3-liter, 16-valve, 4-cylinder engine. The 4-cylinder engine meets California's stringent Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standard.
The 4-Cylinder is available with a 5-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission. The V-6 is equipped with the electronically-controlled automatic. All combinations provide outstanding fuel economy--the 4-cylinder with a 5-speed transmission earning an EPA city/highway rating of 25/31 mpg; the 4-cylinder automatic a 25/30 mpg rating; and the V-6 a 21/28 mpg rating.
Both the 4-cylinder and V-6 models are available in LX and EX trim levels. The long list of standard equipment for all models includes a new immobilizes theft-deterrent system, dual airbags, effort sensitive rack-and-pinion power steering, adjustable steering column, cruise control, three-point seat belts at all five seating positions, power windows, mirrors and door locks, cruise control, air conditioning with micron air-filtration, AM/FM/cassette stereo, 60/40 rear folding seatback, rear cupholders and special tinted windows to help maintain a cooler interior.
Accord Coupe EX 4-cylinder models add 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, a power moonroof and a compact disc player with six speakers. Optional equipment includes a leather and wood-grain interior trim with 8-way power driver's seat.
V-6 models feature standard ABS and 4-wheel disc brakes. The EX V-6 Coupe adds 16-inch alloy wheels, steering wheel mounted audio controls, leather and wood-grain interior trim, automatic climate control, and a HomeLink09 remote system that can be programmed for garage doors and home security systems.
All Coupes feature a reinforced body subframe that not only meets U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but also European standards for frontal and side impact, as well as rollover.
Honda of America Manufacturing's plant in Marysville, Ohio is the sole worldwide production source for the Accord Coupe. The plant was recently recognized by the independent research firm of J.D. Power and Associates as producing the finest quality vehicles in the world. The Accord Coupe has an EPA domestic content rating of 97 percent and all engines and nearly all transmissions are made in the U.S. More than 400 North American suppliers contribute to the production of the new Accord. |
