The latest Honda Accord is the biggest and most powerful yet. By EPA interior volume standards, the Accord is in the full size category, and larger in most dimensions than its main competitors, the Camry and Altima. Accord EX/EX-L models equipped with the 2.4L inline-4 are tuned for slightly more power than the base LX/LX-P models. The 4-cylinder is available with a 5-speed manual or automatic, while the 3.5L V-6 is coupled to the automatic only. Honda added VCM(R) variable displacement technology to the V-6 for improved fuel economy. Both engines meet ULEV-2/PZEV standards, depending on configuration. All Accords are equipped with VSA(R) stability control. An optional 270-watt audio system with subwoofer is available on EX-L models. .

Bluetooth is now available on EX-L models without navigation systems. Rear seat vents have been added to EX and EX-L models. The appearance of the climate control buttons has been updated to ease confusion.
