The Accord resonates with drivers, offering handsome styling, roomy comfort, and plenty of standard features.

High-quality materials complement the comfortable and spacious interior. A hallmark of Honda design, the Accords simple and intuitive ergonomics with the audio, climate and vehicle controls organized by expected frequency of use. Often-used climate-control buttons are thoughtfully positioned on the left side of the center stack within easy reach of the driver for quick access. Less-frequently used buttons are positioned on the right side, just where you would expect them.

The front seats provide supportive cushions for long-range cruising comfort and progressive lateral support while cornering. The fold-down, rear seat-back offers cargo-carrying versatility and also includes a lockable pass-through for long items.

"Best Resale Value" 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. This 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[2].

Transmission choices vary by engine and trim level and include a 5-speed manual transmission available only on LX and EX 4- cylinder models and a 5-speed automatic transmission available on all 4-cylinder models and all V-6 models.

Safety

The 2012 Honda Accord Sedan earned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) best-possible Overall Vehicle Score[1]  of 5 stars. Helping the sedan achieve its top overall score were 5-star ratings in each of the three combined categories of overall frontal crash safety, overall side crash safety and rollover resistance. These achievements represent a significant safety milestone for the automotive industry, as the 2011 Accord Sedan was the first vehicle to receive 5-Star ratings in each combined category.

The Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is an exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment. Extensive safety features include front side airbags, side curtain airbags, and driver’s and front passenger’s active head restraints. All Accords feature Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control and 4-wheel disc brakes with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
