| Ever since the very first Accord was introduced in 1976, quality Honda engineering has made it one of the most reliable vehicles on the road. Honda has packed the 2012 Accord with technology that enhances performance and safety while producing remarkable fuel efficiency. Honda's high level of craftsmanship results in a high resale value, as well. In fact, the 2011 Accord was honored with the Best Resale Value Award in the Mid-Size Car category by Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com[1]. The Accord Sedan earned a 5-star safety rating in each of NHTSA's combined safety rating categories[1]. And that is quite an achievement, especially since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has established new, more stringent NCAP tests. Take a No-Compromise Approach to Power and Efficiency.Imagine an engine that not only exhilarates, but can also help minimize fuel use and emissions. The Accord offers three. A 177-hp, 2.4-liter i-VTEC® 4-cylinder (sedan only) and a 190-hp version, both of which received a Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (PZEV) rating or a 271-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 that is also a model of efficiency. The V-6 and automatic transmission feature the latest generation of Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology. This system can activate and deactivate the engine's cylinders as needed to meet the demands of acceleration and also help maximize fuel effiency.The Evolution of Ingenious Technology.The Accord is designed to be an extremely engaging experience. Equip your EX-L with the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, and you'll command a vast knowledge of the U.S., except Alaska. It has a huge point-of-interest database, including restaurant ratings and reviews from Zagat Survey. The system can be operated by voice commands or with the central interface dial, which also lets you work the audio system and climate controls. Plus, every Accord comes equipped with a USB Audio interface so you can play music straight from a compatible audio player or flash drive. And all EX-L models feature Bluetooth HandsFreeLank®, which easily conencts with your compatible phone.Balance isn’t about compromise. It’s about excelling at everything.For many people, the words Honda and Accord are one and the same. And that's no mistake, because the Accord Sedan is more than just a car. It is a collection of ideas. Like the notion that you can be responsible and still enjoy yourself. Or that smarter engineering can result in both power and efficiency. That's the way Honda thinks. And it's why the Accord exists. |
