Honda has introduced its most popular sedan, the 2016 Honda Accord, and just to highlight the importance of its tech features, it was not unveiled at some auto show, but at the research facility in Mountain View on Thursday.
At a first glance, the Accord 2016 looks very futuristic thanks to the updated front section that features an improved set of LED head lamps. The powertrain includes a 2.4-litre inline i-VTEC™ 4-cylinder engine that can be paired with either six speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a much powerful 3.5-litre VTEC™ V-6 which can also be combined with both automatic and manual transmission.
But this is not the big news! What’s more interesting is that, Honda has added a new infotainment system featuring a 7 inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility in addition to another 7.7 inch display screen. The CarPlay will be offered in EX, EX-L and Touring trims.
This is a right step to compete with luxury cars from Chevrolet, Cadillac etc, that will also be extending the same technologies in the upcoming models.
