Accord V6
This is a V6 which isn’t always a V6. Sometimes it’s a 4, or even a 3. The all-new Accord 3.5 litre V6 works like you do. Sometimes you’re going full tilt. You need all six cylinders to get up to speed in the morning. Or you’re accelerating, heading uphill, racing to meet a deadline. Once you’ve got going, you can at times maintain your momentum with just four cylinders. And when you’re taking it easy, you only need three. That’s exactly how the Accord’s new V6 Variable Cylinder Management engine works. Whenever high power output is required (during start-up, acceleration or when climbing hills) all six cylinders work smoothly and powerfully. During moderate speed cruising and at low engine loads, the system operates just one bank of three cylinders. In some conditions, for higher speed cruising and not-so-steep hills, the engine operates on four cylinders - it’s powerful, silent and incredibly efficient. In fact it operates so smoothly you won’t even notice it’s happening.
You may notice the discreet economy light on the dash which indicates that the car is operating in the range of best fuel economy for the current driving conditions. It’s a system that combines two characteristics that don’t typically coexist in conventional engines: maximum performance and maximum fuel economy. But words like “performance” and “technology” are cold and dry.
The philosophy behind the Accord’s interior was very simple: maximum space and maximum comfort.
Achieving this was more than a simple design exercise. The all-new Accord is larger, to accommodate a more comfortable interior. The additional space makes seating as comfortable for rear passengers as it is for those in the front. Five adults can enjoy the drive comfortably, no matter how long the journey.
Standard features include dual zone climate control, 6 stack CD player with 6 speakers, power steering, cruise control, paddle shift gears, power windows and mirrors, security alarm system and keyless entry.
