2014 Honda Accord

Wondering what makes the new 2014 Honda Accord any different than what it used to be? In one sentence: It’s much better. Being one of the leading manufacturers of midsized vehicles in the U.S., Honda was looked at to design and create one of the smartest vehicles around today. Complete with new technology, innovation, efficiency and safety, the new 2014 Honda Accord is exactly that: a smart vehicle.

One of the brilliant new features to the 2014 Honda Accord is called “Earth Dreams”. This feature provides something completely new for the average midsized vehicle. Earth Dreams allows the Honda Accord to accomplish its finest fuel economy in the EPA midsize class by including Honda’s next generation 2.4 liter, direct-inject 4-cylinder engine with continuously variable transmission or 6-speed manual transmission. Because of the 4-cylinder feature, the Accord models can attain up to 36 mpg* on the highway. The V-6 models attain up to 34 mpg on the highway.

Aside from the efficiency and safety developments to the 2014 Accord, it also includes the state-of-the-art technology HondaLink™. This allows you to focus on the road while your phone is tucked safely away, while still being connected to your contacts, music, etc, via Bluetooth®. More included with the Bluetooth® capabilities consist of an 8-inch i-MID system: a digital screen that allows you to utilize almost anything else you’d want to, for example; selecting a new Pandora® station. Equipped with a standard rearview camera, the new Accord also includes an Expanded View Driver’s Mirror. From safety factors to entertainment bonuses, the 2014 Honda Accord has thought of it all.
