The 160-horsepower, 4-cylinder and 240-horsepower V-6 engines add a new dimension of power to the Accord Sedan.
The V-6 is a CARB-certified Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV).
In addition, select 4-cylinder Accords are Super-Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicles (SULEV) and also receive credit for being partial zero-emission vehicles (PZEV).* This puts Accord among the cleanest gasoline-powered cars in the world. Both engines feature variable valve timing and lift electronic control (VTEC®) technology. VTEC® enables the engine to benefit from two distinct sets of valve timing and lift specifications to optimize both low-rpm torque and high-rpm horsepower. Also, the Accord's low coefficient of drag enhances its fuel efficiency and reduces wind noise. The i-VTEC® engine in all 4-cylinder Accords is further enhanced by Variable Timing Control (VTC), which controls the timing of the intake valves for even greater performance.
*PZEV (Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle) as certified by CARB. PZEV vehicles are SULEV-rated and have zero evaporative emissions. Available on select LX and EX 4-cylinder models with AT in CA and parts of the Northeast.

EX and EX V-6 models with automatic transmissions feature 16" alloy wheels as standard equipment. The EX V-6 with 6-speed manual transmission features exclusive 17" alloy wheels.
For LX and EX models, the remote-entry key fob is now built right into the key.
All V-6 models and EX models with leather have an 8-way power driver's seat. The front seats on the sedan are 20-inches wide and offer numerous adjustments. The seat-cushion angle and contour provide more thigh support. A manual seat-height adjustment with separate front and rear adjusters is standard on LX models. A 2-way power height-adjustable seat is standard on 4-cylinder EX models.
For audio entertainment, DX models offer an AM/FM stereo CD player with two speakers. The Accord LX models surround your ears with a total of 6 speakers. And every EX and V-6 upgrades to a 6-disc in-dash CD changer.
The Accord is designed to deliver top performance without sacrificing interior ride comfort. Both engines feature new vibration-damping engine mounts to help reduce the transfer of engine vibrations into the passenger compartment.
Four-valve-per-cylinder combustion chambers in the V-6 and 4-cylinder engines improve combustion efficiency and performance.
The advanced 4-wheel double-wishbone suspension offers an ideal balance between ride comfort and handling.
i-VTEC® enhances the effect of VTEC® on Accord's 4-cylinder engine by adding variable timing control, or VTC.
ABS is standard on all Accords, plus four-wheel disc brakes on EX and V-6 models, offer smooth and efficient braking power, even with heavy and repeated use.
Unique white-on-black, progressively self-illuminating gauges provide three distinct levels of illumination designed to deliver clear information on vehicle systems and status.
EX models with leather and EX V-6 models offer dual-zone automatic climate control, allowing both front seat passengers to select the temperature that is right for them.
The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice activation offers 240 voice-activated commands, with over 130 devoted to navigation, such as: "display map," "display menu," "previous destination," "find nearest ATM."
Pressing the button once unlocks the driver's door. Pressing it again unlocks all the doors. Holding the button down for more than one second rolls down the windows. If you release the switch at any time, it will stop the windows. Also, the key cylinder on the driver's door performs the same functions, both the locks and the windows. Plus, you can close all the windows by turning the key in the opposite direction.
In addition to two built-in beverage holders, the lid for the storage compartment serves as a handy armrest, and it can extend forward over three inches to accommodate drivers of different stature. The console offers an upper and lower storage compartment. The upper section features a coin holder and can hold a mobile phone, while the lower section has a 12-volt outlet and special hooks to hold the phone's power cord.
