H. Yamada, president and CEO, Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., while launching the car said, "This year, our entire team is working towards attaining leadership in the premium segment. We have already become the number one player in the D-segment, with the tremendous response received by both our D-segment offerings - Accord 2.4 L and CR-V — launched last year. We are confident that Accord V6, which promises to set new standards in the segment by delivering an unmatched driving experience, will only strengthen our lead further."

Commenting on the performance of the new City, he added, "The new City is a revolutionary product at a great price. It was launched after conducting a detailed study of the needs of the Indian customer in the segment. The remarkable fuel-efficiency of the car has not only appealed to potential C-segment customers but has also attracted several B-segment customers, across the country."

According to the company the Accord V6, like the Accord VTi-L, defines refined styling. The aggressive exterior design, inspired by the 'Cheetah', aims at the utmost in automotive functionality.

Features
The front and rear fenders and the sculpted body sides use a unique combination of straight lines and organic curves to provide a blend of muscularity and vitality. The bold front chrome grill with a pronounced 'H' mark, elegant 16" alloy wheels (with tubeless tyres for better maneuverability), chrome pull-out door handles and sporty and aerodynamic side rear-view mirrors enhance the styling further. The broad rear bumper and the perfectly chiseled trunk lid provide an equally sporty and aggressive look in the rear.
