EXTERIOR

The Accord has been styled to attract more than just a passing glance. Its sharp lines and powerful stance excites the senses from any angle.

Artful
Look close. The Accord’s form is a study in modern design. And available 17″ wheels will surely impress.

Outside In

Wide-opening doors invite you to step inside. And the one-touch power moonroof couldn’t be any easier.

Anything but Ordinary
No stone has been left unturned. That’s because the details make all the difference. Take a look at the Accord’s brilliantly finished exhaust and chrome door handles (V-6). Exquisite attention to fit and finish set the Accord apart from the average sedan.

INTERIOR
With a large and luxurious interior, the Accord Sedan provides the comfort you deserve.

Comfort
In the Accord’s case, bigger is better. It means more comfort and more room for those Honda details, like available leather-trimmed seats. The driver’s seat has eight-way power adjustment to fine tune a perfect fit (all but LX). Rear passengers enjoy ample room conveniences like a fold-down center armrest.

Informative
The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition provides you with a huge point-of-interest database, including restaurant ratings and reviews from Zagat Survey®.

Convenient
Included with the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® enables you to make hands-free calls with many compatible phones. And steering wheel-mounted controls for audio and cruise control allow you to change speeds or music at will.

Melodic
Accord LX Sedan features a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with 6 Speakers. EX adds a 6-disc in-dash CD player. Step up to the EX-L, and enjoy a 270-watt AM/FM/6-disc in-dash premium audio system and XM® Radio. And all Accord audio systems feature an MP3/auxiliary input jack.

PERFORMANCE
Powerful, yes, but every bit as environmentally conscious and fuel-efficient. And did we mention fun?

Decisions
The LX 4-door features a 2.4-liter i-VTEC® 4-cylinder with 177 hp. Plus, there’s a 190-hp EX version. And a 271-hp 3.5-liter V-6.

Legendary Performance
Accord models have always roared ahead of the curve. That’s because they utilize i-VTEC® for abundant power and efficiency at all engine speeds. The V-6 features the latest generation of Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) technology, which activates the engine’s cylinders as needed, providing both brisk acceleration and fuel savings.

Transmissions
Choose a quick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission. Or opt for the available 5-speed automatic that features our Grade Logic Control system, which helps put an end to gear-hunting when climbing uphill or driving back down.

SAFETY

The Accord has a well-earned reputation of Honda safety technology.

Control
Every Accord is designed to keep you on course and away from danger. Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) helps sense oversteer or understeer in an emergency situation, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control and keep you on course. Standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control during hard braking. Properly inflated tires are crucial for safe operation, so the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver when a tire’s pressure reaches a significantly low level.

Protection
The Accord has been engineered to help protect you and your passengers when collisions just cannot be avoided. In-floor frame rails improve crashworthiness. And our Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure disperses frontal crash energy over a wide area, keeping it away from passengers.

Airbags and More

Every Accord also features standard front, front side and side curtain airbags to help prevent injuries in a collision. The front side airbags employ a large two-chamber design, and the front passenger’s side airbag uses the Occupant Position Detection System to prevent deployment if a child or small-statured passenger is out of position and in the airbag’s path of deployment. And active front head restraints help reduce whiplash injuries in a sufficient rear impact. It’s no wonder the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety named the 2008 Accord its “Top Safety Pick.”

Honda’s Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone—not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for other vehicle occupants. We also provide injury mitigation for pedestrians. Using the knowledge gained from going beyond government regulations to study real-world situations, Honda identifies new technologies that ultimately help to provide safer vehicles on roadways for everyone.

ENVIRONMENT
For three decades, Honda has played a leading role in meeting environmental challenges.

Environmentally Conscious
The 2009 Accord Sedan is a fuel-efficient, clean-running automotive wonder. The Accord LX and EX 4-cylinder sedans with manual transmissions get an estimated 31 mpg highway. And, as an added bonus, all Accord models run on regular unleaded gasoline.

ULEV- and PZEV-Rated
Honda was the first manufacturer to offer Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicles (ULEV) rated emission technology on a production vehicle. Thanks to the 2008 Accord, Honda became the first automaker to offer a lineup that includes both 4-cylinder and V-6 models meeting the even stricter Partial-Zero-Emission Vehicle (PZEV) standards.
