Honda Accord 2022: Enhance your driving experience with Honda SENSING

The new Honda CR-V, equipped with the advanced Honda SENSING technology package, has attracted the attention of Vietnamese consumers since its launch in July 2020, prioritizing the safety of users. In the second half of 2020 and in 2021, the business situation of Honda’s SUV model showed great potential.

According to the representative of the brand, following the CR-V, the advanced safety system Honda SENSING will gradually be equipped on other models. And in accordance with the development roadmap, the new 2022 D-segment sedan, Accord, is now equipped with the Honda SENSING package with superior features. So what is Honda SENSING?

Honda SENSING on the 2022 Accord: “The wings of a tiger”

With the aim of comprehensive protection for the driver, passengers, as well as other road users and surrounding vehicles, the 2022 Honda Accord is now equipped with the Honda SENSING technology package, using a combination of a front radar at the front of the car, a cluster camera on the windshield, and a system of sensors similar to those on the CR-V; providing 5 advanced driving assistance features:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): provides a warning when detecting obstacles in front of the car and automatically brakes to minimize damage in case the driver does not decelerate. The radar can detect distant and fast-moving obstacles and accurately calculate the distance between the car and the obstacle. Meanwhile, the high-resolution camera can accurately identify cars, lane markings, and pedestrians.
• Auto High-Beam Headlights (AHB): automatically switches between near (low beam) and far (high beam) headlights, depending on the traffic conditions (when detecting oncoming or preceding vehicles). When there are other vehicles on the road, the headlights will automatically switch to low beam to avoid dazzling, and when no other vehicles are detected, the headlights will automatically switch to high beam to ensure visibility.
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow (ACC with LSF): automatically maintains the set speed, while prioritizing maintaining a safe distance with the preceding vehicle when driving on the highway. The system will automatically accelerate and decelerate, and even come to a complete stop according to the preceding vehicle. Users can set the distance to the preceding vehicle. The car will also react faster or slower depending on the preceding vehicle.
• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM): provides a warning and assists the driver in staying in the correct lane when detecting that the car is getting too close to or crossing the lane markings. The camera system records lane markings when the car is moving at a speed between 72 – 180 km/h and will temporarily turn off if the driver uses turn signals, brakes, or needs to use the windshield wipers.
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): assists in steering to keep the car in the center of the lane, while displaying a warning in case the car may deviate from the lane. This system will also only operate when the car is running at a speed between 72 – 180 km/h. The driver also needs to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times.

Similar to the popular CR-V SUV, the above safety features in the Accord’s Honda Sensing package operate smoothly and accurately. These features not only make driving, especially on long trips, more comfortable and convenient, but more importantly, ensure maximum safety for passengers in the car and all other road users. However, it is important to note that these are driver assistance features, not autonomous driving. Therefore, drivers must always pay attention and actively control the vehicle safely.

Sporty and elegant design

While the Toyota Camry has long been known for its authority and the Kia K5 has just entered the market with a youthful and personalized style, the Honda Accord has always been favored by consumers thanks to its neutrality: a luxurious model for businessmen, but still youthful enough for a golf outing with friends.

The luxurious atmosphere of the Accord comes from the very long front end design, pushing the A-pillar back. This is also a familiar design style of European models. Meanwhile, the rear of the car is equipped with dual chrome exhaust pipes – usually only found on luxury models.

The user can also easily notice the sporty elements on the 2022 Accord. The C-pillar slopes down to the rear, and the trunk is short, following the design of European Fastback models. The Solid Wing design on the front is accompanied by full LED headlights and 18-inch 5-spoke aluminum wheels that contribute to the sportiness of the Accord 2022.

Similarly to the exterior design philosophy, the cabin of the Accord also features a sporty and luxurious feel. With the best overall size in its segment, the interior space of the Honda Accord truly provides users with spacious and comfortable seating.
