Geneva 2008, Honda has a triple debut
The Geneva International Motor Show sees the World Premiere of the eagerly awaited, all-new European Honda Accord model, and European debuts of the revolutionary zero-emission Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and the Honda CR-Z hybrid sports car concept.
The Accord zone dominates the Geneva stand, where ten examples of the latest Accord are on display in both saloon and Tourer body styles. The new Accord has an evolutionary appearance with a sportier and sleeker exterior for the saloon and, more noticeably, the Tourer. Also on display is the all-new 2.2 liter i-DTEC diesel, from the Accord’s new range of engines. This range also includes revised 2.0 and 2.4 liter petrol engines, and all three new engines will comply with the forthcoming Euro 5 emissions standards.
Headlining the environment zone is the FCX Clarity, a 4-seat saloon fuel cell vehicle which emits no pollution, only clean water vapour. Thanks to the V Flow fuel cell stack, the FCX Clarity has a low-slung, dynamic and sophisticated appearance. This landmark car, in the development of fuel cell technology, will be available to lease in the US from this summer and in Japan in the autumn.
The Honda CR-Z concept design study is the basis of a forthcoming global sports hybrid. The CR-Z is a dynamically styled, ecologically conscious concept that allows drivers to enjoy driving while minimising their environmental impact.
