The Honda Accord is one of the safest cars in Europe
This outstanding result was achieved in independant crash tests by the European New Car Assessment Programme. It awarded the Accord the maximum of 5 stars - the highest possible rating.
How can sharp be smooth? Or relaxed be precise?
With redesigned double wishbone suspension and an intelligent transmission system. With the engine and fuel tank moved closer to the car’s centre of gravity. So you get sharp, responsive handling, less body movement and unwavering stability. And the 5-speed auto gear box has a ‘kick-down’ feature to help you get added power when it’s needed most, whilst still making sure your acceleration is seamlessly smooth.
Comfort
Our heated and roomy seats remember the way you sit and learn to match the shape of your body. We call it ergonomics. You call it really comfortable. In any sort of impact, the headrests pop forward to stop your head from moving about quickly. And there’s even a sensor in the passenger seat, which recognises if there’s a child present and safely deploys the airbags.
Not only is the interior a very safe place to be, but it’s also super-stylish. Spacious and sculpted, it features a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and an LCD multi-information display in an attractive dashboard console.
Imagine a car that learns your voice patterns
And recognizes over 550 voice commands
Voice-activation technology lets you control the cabin climate, audio system and intuitive satellite navigation. And you can use the steering wheel controls to see mileage, temperature and destination distance on the LCD multiinformation display. We’ll even display a reminder for when your service is due.
The ‘talkback’ directions mean you’ll always find your way wherever you are and wherever you want to end up. The Bluetooth® wireless mobile phone interface lets you talk hands free though a series of speakers and microphones fitted throughout the car.
And should you need it, we can help you park too. A rear view camera can display what’s behind you on the satellite navigation screen.
We don’t believe in design for the sake of design
So every aesthetic touch is balanced with engineering reasoning. The wider and lower car improves aerodynamics and stability. The sleek lines running over the grille, wing mirrors and wheel arches help reduce nose and tail lift. Inside, sophisticated sound-deadening materials make this a quiet place to be. The dashboard extends from the centre and sweeps around the seats to give the interior a cockpit-like feel.
