phir hand hogaya pakistani market ke saath. it is equipped with a under powered engine as compared to global version of accord. globally accord comes with the following engine:
192 hp (143 kW; 195 PS) @ 5500 rpm – Honda Accord
192 lb⋅ft (260 N⋅m) @ 1600-5000 rpm – Honda Accord
and for a 1500 cc car it is very expensive
They are kidding. Looks like their marketers don’t want this car to sell. 12m for 1.5 turbo engine! This engine is just a bit quicker than 1.5 turbo Civic. Mid sized car’s weight would make perform it sluggier (with this engine) then it’s younger bro i.e. Civic 1.5. Want to sell it like hot cake? Cut it’s price down to half. Otherwise keep on printing it’s brochures for next 5 years.
