Honda's new active safety measures are immediately apparent from the first moments behind the wheel. The driver can take confidence in wider front visibility and ever-greater cockpit comfort. While the dashboard height is maintained for a sense of protective shielding, there's a relaxing new sense of openness, with unobstructed visibility thanks to flat, lower placement of wipers. The front pillars have been narrowed in design yet enhanced for even greater rigidity, providing improved front-to-side visibility for easier cornering. Enlarged in size yet exceptionally agile, the new Accord is further protected by ABS and VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), offering exemplary ability to help the driver avoid hazardous motoring conditions. All these measures ease driving tension and help the driver concentrate on the sheer pleasure of going places in the new Accord.
