Beneath the Accord's stylish exterior is a machine with ample performance capabilities and technical refinement.
2.4 litre i-VTEC engine |
| |
Accord VTi and VTi Luxury models feature a refined 4-cylinder 2.4 litre DOHC i-VTEC engine, producing an impressive 133kW of power and 222Nm of torque, whilst maintaining low emissions and enviable fuel economy.
|
3.5 litre i-VTEC V6 engine |
| |
Accord V6 and V6 Luxury models benefit from the most powerful engine ever offered in an Accord - a 3.5 litre i-VTEC V6 engine. With 202kW of power and 339Nm of torque, its performance credentials are class-leading.
|
Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) |
| |
The clever engine in the V6 and V6 Luxury models feature a highly advanced technology known as VCM.
It seamlessly transitions between 6, 4 or even 3 cylinders as circumstances require.
|
Active Noise Control (ANC) |
| |
When VCM shuts down one bank of cylinders, the audio system’s ANC function generates out-of-phase sound waves to cancel out any undesirable noise that may be due to the harmonics of 3-cylinder operation.
|
5-speed automatic with paddle shift |
| |
For effortless motoring, all Accord models are equipped with a silky-smooth 5-speed automatic transmission. And when the mood strikes, there are steering wheel mounted paddle shift controls for hands-on sporting fun.
|
Drive by wire throttle |
| |
The Accord features a drive-by-wire throttle system. This replaces the conventional throttle cable with an all-electronic system, enabling better communication with the transmission for a smoother drive.
|
Fuel efficiency |
| |
Honda have always produced powerful engines that minimise fuel usage. The combined economy for VTi and VTi Luxury models is only 8.8 litres per 100km*, whilst V6 and V6 Luxury models use just 10.0 litres per 100km*.
