Monday, December 17, 2012 New on Autos.ca Test Drive: 2013 Honda Accord Sedan V6 Touring Last month, we drove the 2013 Honda Accord sedan Touring with the 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine and new-for-2013 continuously variable transmission, remarking that it set a new standard for "understated redesign" but that it offered "an essential goodness and balance of efficiency and performance, space and content, and the old Honda driving magic." In a separate comparison test, the same Accord sedan emerged as the clear winner against four other new mid-size four-cylinder sedans. Now that we've got our hands on a V6-powered Accord sedan, we can confirm that it shares most of the four-banger's positive qualities – the key difference, of course, is its smoother, quieter and more powerful 278-hp V6 engine mated to a standard six-speed automatic transmission (replacing last year's five-speed auto).
