When it comes to getting behind the wheel, nothing is more important than safety. After all, you never know what you might find out on the road. From deer running across the road to potholes and even inclement weather, the roads can sometimes be challenging to navigate, so having all the safety bells and whistles is a must.
Standard Safety Features
With the Accord LX, the starting trim, it comes with four-wheel ABS and disc brakes, plus driver, front head, front side, rear head, and passenger airbags. On top of this, the base Accord features brake assist, daytime running lights, electronic stability control, child safety locks, lane-keeping assist, traction control, and lane departure warning.
Comfort and Convenience
Who doesn't want a more comfortable and convenient ride? With the Honda Accord, you get all kinds of beneficial features that are designed to improve the overall quality of your ride and further improve the safety of your vehicle. And while you do receive everything and the kitchen sink when opting for the Touring trim, the LX packs a hard punch.
Standard Features Like No Other
When it comes to the Accord LX, there is not much you won't find in terms of standard technology and safety features. Like most vehicles, it comes standard with cruise control, a vehicle anti-theft system, and a back-up camera. You'll also find features like keyless start and adaptive cruise control (these are features not typically found on base models).
If you've never used adaptive cruise control, this is a fantastic update on traditional cruise control. Chances are when you've used regular cruise control in the past, you've been forced to take yourself off of it, speed past traffic that is driving slow in the fast lane, or to flow with traffic moving around other vehicles. Well, with adaptive cruise control, your vehicle will do this for you. It'll automatically adjust the speed accordingly. It's just a little tweak, but on those long road trips, it makes all the difference.
Impressive Convenience Features
Another impressive feature on the Honda Accord is automatic high-beam headlights. Using a sensor on the Accords grill, when you opt to you use your high beams when driving at night, these will watch for approaching vehicles. They will turn off and on as you continue to drive, keeping you from having to worry about switching them off and preventing them from being accidentally left on as you pass other drivers.
Other features on the base include auto-off headlights, keyless entry, and an adjustable steering wheel. You can also spring to include a rear parking aid, electrochromic rearview mirror, heated steering wheel, and a universal garage door opener (all optional features).
Top-of-the-Line Features
On the Touring package, a number of additional features come standard. This includes a head-up display, fog lamps, the universal garage door opener, and rear parking aid now come standard, rain-sensing wipers, leather steering wheel, and heated mirrors. Heated mirrors and rain-sensing wipers are features that make driving in snow, the cold, and the rain even easier than before. The head-up display is a remarkable feature that allows you to keep your eyes on the road instead of looking at your instrument panel to check your speed. One additional feature is the blind spot information system with cross-traffic monitor. This alert lets you know if there is a vehicle in your blind spot; this is especially helpful when you need to change lanes or while driving on the highway.
