| Accord - Features |
| |
|
| An impressive example of Honda's technology leadership, the Accord comes with two advanced engines: the unique 6 cylinder, 3.5L i-VTEC VCM in the Accord V6 and the 4 cylinder 2.4L i-VTEC in the Accord 2.4. Both deliver an impressive power, as well as fuel economy and cleaner emission. |
|
| 3.5L i-VTEC |
|
The revolutionary new 6 cylinder 3.5L i-VTEC VCM engine, delivering 275PS of power makes the Accord V6 the most powerful car in its class.
In fact, it is a technology that combines two characteristics that rarely coexist in conventional engines: performance and fuel economy. |
|
| VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) Technology |
| With its flexible use of cylinders, the unique VCM (Variable Cylinder Management)technology virtually gives you three engines in one car. |
|
 |
|
| |
| ACM and ANC Technology |
|
| The ACM (Active Control Engine Mount System) cancels out engine vibration
ensuring a smoother, more comfortable ride. You can enjoy a silent ride with the ANC (Active Noise Control) which nullifies unwanted noise by generating out-of-phase sound waves, that may occur due to the harmonics of cylinder operation. |
|
| 2.4L i-VTEC |
|
| The advanced i-VTEC engine delivering 180PS of power ensures powerful acceleration as well as optimum fuel efficiency and low emissions. In fact, it is a thrill to drive with the Drive-by-Wire technology, that uses an electronic position sensor connected to the accelerator pedal that sends an electronic signal to PCM (Powertrain Control Module). |
|
| Performance At Its Best |
|
| The amazing performance of the 275PS, 3.5L i-VTEC engine, coupled with a better road grip, offers you a simply unforgettable drive. In fact, the car responds so well to your commands that at times you will feel that it is reading your mind. |

| |
| VGR |
|
| The VGR (Variable Gearing Ratio) steering system responds sensitively and precisely, giving the sedan a smaller turning radius, making the car easily maneuverable, despite its size. |
|
| Intelligent 5-speed Automatic Transmission with Paddle Shift |
|
The Intelligent electronically controlled 5-speed Paddle Shift takes driving comfort to a new level.
A shift hold control system reduces unnecessary gear shift in cornering and supplies acceleration immediately after making a turn. |
| |
| Advanced Suspension |
|
| The advanced Double Wishbone Suspension in the front uses both lower and upper control links for better cornering or maneuvering.
The Double Wishbone Suspension in the front and Multi-Link Rear Suspension ensure a smoother drive and better stability while cornering or taking fast turns. |
| |
| New Platform Chassis and Rigid Body |
|
| The lowered floor and the underbody airflow management significantly reduces drag and lift in the Accord, giving it better maneuverability. |
| |
| Sheer Indulgence |
|
| Elegant yet modern, the vast, well-appointed cabin and the graceful woody panel of the Accord V6 is designed to transport you to a new level of indulgence. |
|
| The internal geometry of the Accord is so ingeniously conceived that it makes brilliant use of every inch of available space. The seating is as comfortable for rear passengers as it is for those in the front. And with the ACM and ANC technology (in Accord V6), makes every ride silent and vibration free. |
| |
| Cruise Control |
|
| Now you can keep your eyes on the road, rather than the speedometer.
The conveniently placed cruise control buttons on the steering wheel allows you to relax on long drives, and maintain speed without bothering with the accelerator. |
| |
| Advanced Audio System |
|
Tune in to an advanced audio system with a centre multi-selector jog dial. and rear audio controls.
The intuitive interface makes it very easy to operate, scrolk1own screen displays multiple kind of data through different connections. The USB port gives you the luxury of connecting to an external device. |
| |
| Optimized Driving Position |
|
| Being in the driver's seat has never been so pleasurable. Accord lets you select a precise, natural and comfortable driving position unique to your height and comfort level, thanks to its 8-way power seat adjustment with lumbar support along with a tilt and telescopic steering. |
|
| Improved Rear Seat Comfort |
|
| Relaxing in the backseat is just as satisfying with improved rear legroom, rear AC vents, a reading lamp and rear audio controls. |
| |
| A Safer Drive |
|
| Not just power and performance, the Accord also sets the standard for safety. The Accord V6 comes equipped with VSA (vehicle stability assist) along with the standard Accord safety features like the ABS, EBD, intelligent 6 airbags and G-CON. |
| |
 |
| |
| VSA |
|
| The Accord V6 3.5L comes with the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) technology, which during an understeer or oversteer condition, brakes individual wheel and reduce engine power to help restore the intended course. |
| |
| ABS, EBD |
|
| All Accord models feature 4 - wheel disc brakes with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and Brake Assist. Also standard is EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), helping braking performance by distributing brake force among the four wheels based on the load each wheel is bearing. |
| |
| Intelligent 6 Airbags |
|
| Accord comes with 6 airbags ensuring protection from side impacts as well. |
| |
| In the event of a frontal impact, the dual-stage. dual-threshold front airbags (i-SRS) inflate at different rates depending upon crash severity. The side airbags with OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System) inflate to help protect the driver and the front passenger's upper body in the event of a side impact. |
| |
| Advanced Seatbelt System |
|
| Front 3-point seat belts with automatic tensioning system ride across the lap and chest to help restrain occupants during sudden stops or impact. |
| |
| Active Headrests |
|
| Front active headrests help mitigate neck shock in a rear-end collision. A link mechanism in the seat moves me headrest forward and upward to support the passenger's head. |
| |
| G-CON |
|
| Honda's original G-CON technology reduces the impact in the event of a car crash. |
| |
| Impact absorbing zones created with engineering expertise distribute G-force through the body structure. It also features pedestrian safety. In the event of a person coming in front of the car, it controls G-force transferred from the car to the person and helps reduce injuries. |
