The highest possible award was earned by excellent ratings across a wide spectrum of active and passive safety systems, all tested by a panel of impartial auto experts to ensure you can drive with full confidence in every Accord.

Active Safety with Honda Sensing

The Accord’s active safety technology is based on a suite of cameras and radar sensors that combine to form the Honda Sensing system. The package is standard on every 2023 Accord trim and provides a wide range of features, including:
– Forward collision warnings to help keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
– Automatic crash-prevention system that applies the brakes if you don’t respond to a collision alert or if a pedestrian is detected in the road ahead.
– Lane-departure warnings to help you stay in your highway lane.
– Lane-keep assist to avoid dangerous lane changes without signalling.
– Road-departure mitigation system that uses brakes and steering to avoid accidentally leaving the pavement.
– Adaptive cruise control to keep a steady distance from the vehicle in front, automatically slowing down or speeding up as needed.
– Traffic-sign recognition to highlight important information directly in the Accord’s dashboard display.

Reliable Passive and Physical Safety

The Accord’s latest safety award has been earned by more than the advanced Sensing technology alone. Decades of automotive design experience have gone into producing a robust body that offers the best in safety if a collision is unavoidable.

The Accord’s frame is built to divert as much impact force as possible away from the cabin, while multiple airbags protect the passengers from front and side impacts at both head and knee heights.

The physical safety is increased even further by features including automatic seat-belt pre-tensioning and supplemental restrain systems, earning the Accord a coveted top rating in every crash test the IIHS carried out.

Other Key 2023 Honda Accord Features

The Accord’s safety systems are impressive enough, but the model also boasts many other valuable features that ensure it maintains the leading position in the mid-size sedan market.

Two powertrain options are available, with the standard 1.5L turbo engine creating a healthy 192 horsepower and 192lb-ft of torque for responsive and confident handling. Alternatively, a new 2.0L hybrid option ups the output to an assertive 204 horsepower and 247lb-ft, greatly increasing performance while keeping fuel costs satisfyingly low at just 5.3L / 100km combined.

Inside the cabin, a 7- or 12.3-inch touchscreen display provides easy access to the extensive infotainment functions, backed up by a 10.2-inch digital display conveying essential driving data in crystal-clear colour.

Smartphone compatibility is standard through both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while Google’s new “Built-In” technology seamlessly integrates Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play into the Accord’s infotainment system.

Lastly, available tech extras include a head-up display, embedded navigation, wireless charging, and a WiFi tethering facility for easy connectivity on the road.
