PUSH LIMITS. TRANSCEND TECHNOLOGY. GO FURTHER Introducing the intelligent, sophisticated and uniquely efficient V6 Accord. Performance beyond power. In a world of commands and constraints, you don’t have to hold back. Seize the thrill of a V6 without paying the price, as Honda’s ingeniously integrated Variable Cylinder Management system transforms the all-out performance engine into an economical three or four cylinder. Born of dreams and designed by desire, the V6 Accord gives you the power to go further. 202kw of power, 340nm of torque A MARK OF CHARACTER Powerful proportions and a strong sculpted design give the V6 Accord enviable presence. Appreciate, as others will, the muscular body, solid stance, forward-thrusting nose, flared fenders and striking six-point grille. Even more defining is its chiselled profile, and character streak stretching the full length of its brilliantly finished body. Exquisite attention to fit and finish set the V6 Accord apart from any other V6 sedan. 3.5 Litre, 24 VALVe i-VTEC, VCM INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE From the world’s largest engine manufacturer comes the next iteration of economy. VCM deactivates specific cylinders by using the i-VTEC (Variable V6 ACCORD 3.5 LITRE ENGINE OUTPUT Variable Cylinder Management in operation i-VTEC.

Inspired by Formula One racing, the shift paddles and turns the torque converter lock-up on provide a more dynamic drive. Activated simply by pressing the paddles in and off, as well as engaging the Active Control D-mode, the engine will seamlessly transform and then automatically revert Engine Mounts. As a result, the transition out of paddle mode as the sensors detect a cruise mode or change in driving between three, four and six-cylinder operation style. In sport shift S-mode the paddles select manual mode and are operational is unnoticeable to the driver. until the gear lever is changed back to D-position. TRUST IT Don’t hold back. The V6 Accord is built with invisibly integrated, cutting-edge Electronic Stability Control – VSA Drive-by-Wire How ABS, EBD and EBA work together for safer stopping technology designed to allow you to realise the full potential of your driving During cornering, Honda’s Vehicle Stability The Drive-by-Wire (DBW) electronic throttle control system gives you more Under emergency braking, Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) prevents the wheels experience. Armed with Electronic Stability Control (VSA), Gear Logic Control, Assist which incorporates Traction Control control, with precision electronics responding directly to pressure applied on the from locking when the brakes are applied, enabling steering control to be Drive-by-Wire, ABS, EBA and EBD, you can treat it like a true performance car determines if the car is deviating from the accelerator, optimising engine power and efficiency and smoothing out gear retained. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) assists braking performance and trust that it will deliver. driver’s intended path by detecting vehicle shifts. The result is outstanding fuel economy and performance. by distributing the brake force among the four wheels to maximise traction spin, slide or over-acceleration when the car based on vehicle loading.

Own the car, own the road. As with all Honda vehicles, the V6 Accord has intelligence injected into every element. Dual-zone climate control air conditioning comes standard in all, with intelligent i-dual zone combined with the satellite Navigation in the V6N model. All V6L and V6N models offer rain sensing wipers which adjust their speed to the erratic weather conditions outside. An 8-way adjustable driver’s seat with personal memory and heat settings feature in the V6L and V6N models, to fine-tune a perfect fit. And if the driver so chooses, no matter which model you are in, the Speed-sensitive Volume Control (SVC) fluidly adjusts the sound system’s volume as the vehicle’s speed increases or decreases, to make your drive nothing less than perfect.
