Japanese car maker, Honda has introduced a refreshed 2016 Accord loaded with advanced technology. The launch took place in Silicon, which is the first time the company has launched a new vehicle in the U.S. tech hub. The new 2016 Accord in the US will be the first Honda model and among the first high-volume cars in the marketplace to feature both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These and other major upgrades to technology and features make it the most high-tech Accord ever.
The sedan and coupe receive dynamic new styling, a new Display Audio touchscreen interface, and Honda Sensing, the most comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies in the midsize car class. The 2016 Accord also adds HD Radio, heated rear seats, front and rear parking sensors, and a number of other new features and technology to be revealed in coming weeks. Details on the Accord Hybrid will be announced at a later date.
The Accord will continue to be offered with two advanced Honda engines – a direct-injected 2.4-liter inline i-VTEC 4-cylinder and a 3.5-liter VTEC V-6 that is the most powerful engine offered in a Honda sedan to date. Available transmissions include a sporty and fuel-efficient automatic transmission for the 4-cylinder engines, unique 6-speed manuals for the 4-cylinder and V-6 engines, and a 6-speed automatic for V-6 models.
