Euro Honda Accord Type-S: 180 PS turbodiesel
Honda will be displaying a more powerful version of the oil burning European market Honda Accord at the Geneva Motor Show this March.
The 2.2 liter i-DTEC engine in the Accord Euro turbodiesel has been upgraded with a revised turbo, cylinder head and larger intercooler resulting in a 30 PS peak power upgrade to 180 PS at 4,000rpm and a torque boost of 30Nm up to 380Nm as low as 2,000rpm. This more powerful turbodiesel Accord will be known as the Honda Accord Type S. The manual-only Euro Accord Type S will also get a new set of 18 inch alloy wheels and clear indicator covers to differentiate it from the rest of the Accord range, and most importantly a “Type S” badge.
Both the sedan and estate bodystyles will be available, and two new colours will be available exclusively for the Type S – Premium White Pearl and Basque Red. The car shown above is the regular Euro Accord sedan, as photos of the new Type S have not been released yet.

Any chance of the Malaysian Accord to be in White?

this is a much much much better Accord than what we get in Msia – sorry for those who already bought it. Looks or styling is very much a personal preference!

Yes the turbodiesel specs look great. My guess the reason that it’s only available in manual transmission is that this Accord is meant to be driven hot-bloodedly. Certainly not for the faint-hearted n light-footed.

February 7, 2009 @ 10:11 pm
but they should include automated manual (the future, lol), or at least conventional auto….

Type S=Type Sport for a diesel. I don’t think so. The suspension must be hard on that car

This is a fantastic car on spec. 380Nm at 2000 rpm…. couple with the manual gear box… sweet !!!!
What a sad thing that Malaysian will never got the chance to have feel of driving such car.
