2008 CGI Accord

Order books on the facelifted Honda Accord have opened, but we've already got an exclusive computer-generated image of the all-new model arriving in the next couple of years.

Entry-level prices for the updated family car rise £230 to £17,030, while a new range-topping ADAS model costs from £25,880 and is fitted with latest electronic aids that can automatically steer and brake the car if there's traffic ahead.

Our expert artists have been working on an image of the all-new car, which is expected to take styling cues from the Sports 4 concept unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last year and go on sale in 2008.

The next-generation car is expected to feature much sharper styling than the current model, although it's unlikely to be as dramatically daring as the company's Civic, which went on sale at the beginning of the year.

The facelift for the Accord range includes body changes and improved interior trim. The 2.2-litre diesel also now comes with a six-speed manual as well as the 2.0-litre petrol.
