The 2010 Accord Euro is a mid-size sedan manufactured by Honda. It is part of the Accord line that was launched in 1976. In 2002, the Euro was added to the Accord lineup. This car comes in three trims: the standard Euro, the Euro Luxury and the Euro Luxury Navigation.

Power

    The Accord's engine has a displacement of 143.6 cubic inches, which is the volume swept by each piston in a downwards movement. The engine has a bore of 3.4 inches and a stroke of 3.9 inches. The compression ratio is 11.0:1. This all generates 198.4 horsepower at 7,000 revolutions per minute. In the six-speed manual transmission option, the torque is 172.6 foot-pounds at 4,300 revolutions per minute, whereas the five-speed automatic option generates 169.6 foot-pounds at 4,200 revolutions per minute.

Dimensions

    The manual transmission Honda Accord weighs 3,362 pounds excluding fluids, known as dry weight. The automatic option has a dry weight of 3,428.2 pounds. Including liquids, the tank can hold a maximum of 17.2 gallons of unleaded gas. The body measures 186.6 inches long, 56.7 inches high, 72.4 inches wide and has a 106.5-inch wheelbase. With a load, the vehicle clears the ground by 4.3 inches; without a load the ground clearance is 5.9 inches. The front and back track is 62.2 inches. Two 8.9-inch wide tires with 4.5-inch sidewall heights wrap around 17-inch alloy wheels on the standard model. In the Euro Luxury and Euro Luxury Navigation trim, the tires are 9.3 inches wide, have a sidewall height of 4.2 inches and fit 18-inch-diameter alloy wheels. These trims are also heavier, with the manual transmission dry weight at 3,461.3 pounds for both. The Euro Luxury has an automatic dry weight of 3,538.4 pounds; the Euro Luxury Navigation does not come in automatic.

Brakes and Suspension

    Independent double wishbone suspension is tasked with soaking up the road's bumps from the front of the Honda, accompanied by the same system in the back of the vehicle. Rear disc brakes provide the Accord with its stopping power, and front ventilated disc brakes help out in halting the vehicle. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is also installed; this stops the wheels from locking up while braking.

Interior

    Inside the Honda, the Euro Luxury and Euro Luxury Navigator trims offer eight-way power adjustable driver and front passenger seats. These leather seats are also heated. The stick knob encased in leather is standard. These trims also come with an electric sunroof. The standard Euro trim does not share any of these features, but a leather gear knob is optional.
