The 2022 Accord: Equipped with advanced Honda SENSING safety features without increasing the price, the 2022 Accord confidently competes in the D-segment sedan market.
The new Honda CR-V, which was launched in July 2020 and prioritizes user safety, has gained popularity among Vietnamese consumers. Therefore, Honda plans to equip the Honda SENSING safety system on other models. Following this plan, the 2022 Accord, a D-segment sedan, is now equipped with the superior Honda SENSING package. So, what is Honda SENSING?
Honda SENSING on the 2022 Accord: “The wings of a tiger”
The 2022 Honda Accord is equipped with the Honda SENSING technology package, which includes a front radar, a cluster camera on the windshield, and sensors similar to those on the CR-V. This combination provides 5 advanced driving assistance features:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): Warns the driver when detecting obstacles and automatically applies brakes to minimize damage if the driver doesn’t decelerate.
- Auto High-Beam Headlights (AHB): Switches between near (low beam) and far (high beam) headlights based on traffic conditions to avoid dazzling other drivers.
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow (ACC with LSF): Maintains a safe distance with the preceding vehicle and adjusts the speed accordingly.
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM): Assists the driver in staying in the correct lane and provides warnings if the car crosses the lane markings.
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Assists in steering to keep the car in the center of the lane and provides warnings if the car deviates from the lane.
These safety features, similar to those found in the popular CR-V SUV, provide a comfortable and convenient driving experience while ensuring maximum safety for passengers and other road users. However, it’s important to note that these features are driver assistance features and not autonomous driving features. Therefore, drivers should always pay attention and actively control the vehicle.
Sporty and elegant design
The Honda Accord has always been favored by consumers for its neutral design, making it suitable for both business and leisure purposes. The Accord’s design features a long front end, a sloping C-pillar, and dual chrome exhaust pipes at the rear, giving it a luxurious and sporty look.
The interior of the Accord is spacious and comfortable, offering luxurious materials such as leather, matte wood, and metal trim. It is also equipped with modern technological features, including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity standards.
The Cabin is designed with comfort and convenience in mind, featuring a 2-layer soundproof glass system, curtains, power-adjustable front seats with heating, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and more.
Agile and safe performance
The Accord 2022 is powered by a 1.5L VTEC turbocharged engine, delivering 188 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque when paired with the CVT transmission and rear-wheel drive. This powerful engine provides excellent acceleration and a smooth driving experience. The Accord also offers responsive steering, paddle shifters, and a Sport driving mode for a spirited and sporty driving experience.
In addition to the Honda Sensing features, the Accord is equipped with advanced safety technologies such as the driver drowsiness warning system, right lane watch system (Honda Lanewatch), and multiple airbags to ensure maximum protection for everyone on board.
In summary, the 2022 Accord with the Honda Sensing safety package offers luxury, sportiness, and enhanced safety at an affordable price. It continues to be a strong contender in the D-segment sedan market.
