The ninth-generation car will go on sale in U.S. dealerships in September. Automotive News said it will be the first Accord to offer a lane departure warning system along with a forward collision warning system. Both rely on a camera located behind the windshield. All 2013 Accords will also get a rearview back-up camera and a larger driver's mirror.
The mid-size market is highly competitive, with five of the 11 top-selling vehicles in the U.S. auto market through to July being mid-size sedans. The 2013 Accord will battle for sales supremacy with the ageing, current-generation Toyota Camry, upcoming Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu, and newly redesigned Nissan Altima, among others.
