The mechanical foundation of the Accord is built for stability and comfort. It features a Front Wheel Drive configuration and a Four wheel independent suspension system.

Small details, such as the Leather and metal-look gear shifter material and Chrome and metal-look interior accents, add a touch of sophistication to the everyday driving experience.

Advanced Safety and Driver Awareness

Safety is a core tenet of the Honda philosophy, and the 2017 Accord EX is outfitted with features designed to provide peace of mind on every journey. One of the standout features is Honda LaneWatch, which uses a Right side camera to display a live feed of your passenger-side blind spot on the central screen whenever you signal right. This is an invaluable tool for navigating multi-lane highways or busy suburban intersections. Additionally, the Back-Up Camera with a Rear mounted camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, making parking in tight spots much simpler.
