However, that is not all. For all new Accords are now fitted with Honda’s vehicle Stability Assist System designed to help the driver maintain control during cornering, acceleration and sudden manoeuvres by applying braking to the right or left hand wheels as necessary. Then there is Trailer Stability Assist for those who tow and Lane Keeping Assist in case you are tired and wonder off so take a break.
In case you still mange to go off piste, the Accord features an Advanced Compatibility Engineering Body Structure that enhances passenger safety in the event of a collision between multiple vehicles. Other safety features include front seat active headrests, front seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters, dual stage front airbags, driver and front passenger side airbags, full-length curtain airbags plus ISOFIX fittings and tether anchor points for child seats.
Do not lose your keys for trying to break into the Accord and you will be faced with many obstacles such as central locking, Honda super locks otherwise known as deadlocks, an interior and perimeter alarm, remote keyless entry, rolling code engine immobiliser and VIN. Despite all this the new Accord falls into insurance group 12.
“Never judge a book by its cover” sums up this outstanding new Accord
