Expansive sense of comfort in powerful, precise driving.

The enlarged Accord offers unrivaled "class-above" command of the road. It has a highly rigid, sturdly lightweight body, utilising high-tensile steel materials. This is optimised for superb driving stability, riding comfort, quitenes , and collision safety, as well as sporty yet economical performance. Double wishborne suspension, a frequent choice in sports cars, is used in front, with multi-link suspension in the rear, assuring unchanged excellence in driving stability plus riding comfort. Front and rear roll centres are moved closer to the level of a lower centre of gravity, for reduced roll in cornering.

The new Accord takes full advantage of the Variable Gear Ratio(VGR) steering system, which responds faithfully of the driver's intentions. This is why, despite its larger dimensions, the new Accord achieves superb manoeuvrability with a smaller turning radius and sporty, accurate steering. Additionaly, Shift Hold Control reduces unnecessary gear shift-up in cornering and supplies acceleration immediately after making a turn. And a paddle shift system allows the driver to change gears manually without removing hands from the wheel.

V6 i-VTEC engine with newly developed
Variable Cyclinder Management (VCM)

This revolutionary 3.5-litre engine actually achieves exhilarating sporty performance without high fuel consumption. In addition to efficient i-VEC engineering, Honda's new VCM system further enhances fuel economy and limits unnecessary fuel use by partially halting and action of some cyclinder through freely controlled engine displacement. Active control engine mounting cancels out annoying engine vibration, and active noise control system ensures silence in the cabin by producing a noise cancelling tone from the speaker and reducing the muffled engine sound streaming from unused cylinders.
