Honda’s critically acclaimed Accord Euro gets a performance boost in an update for 2005.

The Accord Euro Luxury – starting at $40,800 for the six-speed manual version – gains 17” wheels and upgraded suspension, while a full-size spare wheel becomes standard equipment on both Accord Euro variants.

A new colour – Milano Red – is also available on Accord Euro and Accord Euro Luxury, which is matched to black interior trim.

Pricing remains unchanged – the Accord Euro is $34,250 for the six-speed manual and $36,250 for the 5-speed automatic, while the Luxury variant is $40,800 (manual transmission) and $42,800 with automatic transmission.

The 2005 Accord Euro is available now at Honda dealerships nationally.
