Honda Accord


The eighth-generation Accord is built Thai Honda is offering featuring "three engines, one under the bonnet" technology, which aims to challenge the perception of V6 engines were gas guzzlers.

The new Accord uses the 3.5-litre V6 featuring what Honda calls Variable Cylinder Management. This allows the show to six, four or three bottles. In the framework of acceleration or high speed driving all six clinders fire but the road or in low speed city driving it drops back to four or three. Honda says the transition is smooth and unnoticable to the driver. The benefits are lower fuel consumption and emissions.

Honda says 3.5-202kW litre V6 reaches 10.0 litres/100km, while the 2.4 liter four cylinder 133kW version uses 8.8 litres/100km.

Standard safety equipment includes stability of the vehicle Assist, a new dual-chamber front and side airbags on all models, side-curtain airbags (CSE-Fine, V6 and V6-luxury version) and active front head restraints
