Variable Cylinder Management ^TM technology maintains power and optimizes fuel economy simultaneously. It activates the engine's cylinders as needed to meet the demands of both acceleration and fuel efficiency.

At 6 cylinder mode, the engine produces an exhilarating kick with its powerful V6 engine, while at 4 cylinder mode, it produces both power and fuel efficiency. And at 3 cylinder mode, fuel saving is achieved.

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 heights is maintained for a sense of protective shielding,  there's a relaxing new sense of openness, with unobstructed visibility thanks to 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.

The new accord's VSA stabilizes vehicle behavior with centralized control of three vehicle safety functions - ABS(Anti-lock Brake System), designed to stop wheel lockup during braking; TCS(Traction Control System) for prevention of wheel slippage during acceleration, and a sideslip reduction function to lessen slippage during cornering. All these measures ease driving tension and help the driver concentrate on the sheer pleasure of going places in the new Accord.
