Yet more proof of Honda’s insistence on doing things its own way: this is the new Honda Accord 2.2 i-DTEC automatic. The Honda Accord 2.2 i-DTEC auto is the first time that Honda has offered any diesel-engined car with an automatic transmission. The engine in question is the firm’s commendable 148bhp 2.2-litre turbo diesel lump, and the gearbox (again an in-house Honda creation) is a new five-speed self-shifter. This power train should also be fitted to the CR-V – and eventually the Civic and FR-V – but it’s likely to find its warmest reception in the Honda Accord, since Accords are so popular as high-mileage company cars.
