2011 Honda Accord


Two goals from Honda at the Geneva Motor Show 2011: new Accord sedan and tourer. On sale since April 2011. First put on display unusual headlights and bumper, exuding guts. In fact, the eyes are "determined", with direction indicators changed from amber to light finish. The high-end models are equipped with bi-xenon headlamps with adaptive mode: adapt to the road, when cornering, to improve visibility when driving at night.

Goal number two, have an even sportier look. So here is the front grille, slightly reshaped with the two central pillars of the same chrome used for the outdoor grill. Always looking for a more aggressive, the inlet and niches for the fog lights were risagomati.

The seats, the sedan has been slightly revised with the change of color of the indicators and reversing arrows in light red. Fanciful decorative element chromium clear position above the plate. Not bad, the three new colors: Alabaster Silver, Graphite and Celestial Blue Pearl Lustre.

Refining the diesel engine 150 hp 2.2-liter i-DTEC: reduced internal friction losses. Thus obtained are lower emissions and greater efficiency in terms of economy of motion. There is a reduction of 9 g / km CO2 emissions in the saloon with manual 6-speed automatic version and 11g/km.

Honda engineers have also had a hand to the frame. The improved targeting of shock two-way has made ​​significant improvements in terms of driving stability at high speeds and overall quality of driving on uneven road surfaces.

For the comfort and security, the Lighthouses Active Steering (Active Cornering Lights), designed to provide better lighting in the entrance of the curve. And additional lights have been integrated into the existing block lights: they project the light beam to help the driver side in conditions of limited visibility, is triggered when the driver activates the turn signal on or turn the steering wheel for more than 90 degrees. Prezioso also help reverse: both lights are activated at the same time providing greater visibility to the driver on both sides.

He also gave a system of automatic regulation of the beam (High Beam Support System), which is installed on the cars along with bi-xenon headlamps. It is controlled by a CMOS camera mounted on the windshield at the rearview mirror. In the case where the sensor senses the presence of light from headlights of approaching vehicles or taillights, lights (if beam mode) are automatically set to the normal. Result, we focus only on the street, and not the lights of your car: you do yourself.
