The all-new Accord also features a wealth of infotainment options with a full-featured integrated sound system with 6 speakers. The V6 model gets a standard subwoofer plus a hands-free Bluetooth system with audio streaming capabilities. Despite the increase in standard equipment, the all-new Accord promises a greatly simplified and easier to use driving environment than ever before thanks to interface concepts such as the touch panel and multi-function steering wheel controls.

The 4-cylinder engine is mated to a 5-speed automatic while the V6 has a 6-speed automatic. Both transmissions offer Grade Logic, Direct Control, and Shift Hold system.
