The base model LX comes with a 160-watt four-speaker audio system operated by the 8-inch display with high-resolution electrostatic touch capability plus knobs and hard keys for primary controls and customizing features. This touch screen comes with a 1.0-amp USB audio interface jack for connecting devices, or you can use Bluetooth for streaming audio. You also get Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and HondaLink systems that let you sync your smart devices for hands-free operation.

Your audio system has speed-sensitive volume compensation that automatically adjusts your volume and equalization to compensate for road and engine noise. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support allow you to make calls, access your favorite apps, and more with simple, intuitive voice commands.

A dual-zone automatic climate control system lets the driver and front passenger customize their temperature settings. Power windows with auto-up/down capability and power door locks with a programmable auto-lock feature are standard. You also get a push-button start ignition system, cruise control, and one-touch turn signal indicators. 

The tilt and telescoping steering column let you adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable position, and the steering wheel controls illuminate for night driving. Other comfort features include illuminated vanity mirrors for the driver and front passenger on the visor backs. Map lights, sunglasses holder, and a center console with storage and cup holders add convenience. 

You have room for five people comfortably. The rear seat comes with a center armrest. The entire back seat folds flat for additional cargo volume, and a cargo area light illuminates the space. The driver’s seat has a manual height adjustment for ergonomic comfort.

LX Hybrid Trim

The LX Hybrid trim comes with all of the above features, plus a few upgrades. You get illuminated power window switches, a trunk switch for remote opening, and a lockable glove compartment. The rear seat now splits/folds in a 60/40 ratio for multiple cargo configurations. 

Sport Trim

Moving to the Sport trim, you get SMS text messaging capability through Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto with the 2.0-liter turbo model. A Qi-compatible wireless charging station comes standard. You get a 2.5-amp USB audio interface jack in the front console and two 2.5-amp USB charging ports in the second row. The sound system upgrades to a 180-watt eight-speaker system. You have a free trial subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio.

A leather-wrapped steering wheel and sport pedals come standard on every Sport trim, but the leather-wrapped shift knob comes only with the 1.5-liter turbo trim. The driver’s seat upgrades to a 12-way power-adjustable seat with four-way adjustable lumbar support. Heated seats and a power moonroof come standard on the 2.0-liter turbo model.

Sport Special Edition Trim

The Sport Special Edition builds on the above features with an additional 2.5-amp USB audio interface jack located in the center console. The leather shift knob comes standard on every Sport Special Edition model, as do heated front seats. The front passenger seat upgrades to a four-way power-adjustable seat, and all seats come with leather trimming.

Hybrid EX Trim

The Hybrid EX trim offers a free trial to SiriusXM satellite radio on every model, along with an HD radio and a Qi-compatible wireless phone charger. The Hybrid EX trim loses the leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob, leather-trimmed seats, and sport pedals.

EX-L Trim

The EX-L trim brings back the heated, leather-trimmed front seats and adds a two-position memory function to the driver’s seat. The leather-wrapped steering wheel also returns on the EX-L trim, but the leather shift knob only comes on the 1.5-liter turbo model. It also upgrades to a 450-watt premium audio system with nine speakers and a subwoofer. Additional convenience features like HomeLink and an auto-dimming rearview mirror come on every EX-L model.

Touring 2.0T Trim

Honda’s top-of-the-line Touring 2.0T trim has many luxury features like leather-trimmed seats with heating and ventilation in the front and heated rear outboard seats. The infotainment system adds the Honda Linked Satellite Navigation System with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic. You also get free trial subscriptions for HondaLink services, including security for one year and remote/concierge for three months.

Your Accord Touring 2.0T can turn into a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot with a qualified cellular plan. You also get an ambient lighting system to set the interior lighting to match your mood.

Driver-Assist Systems

Your infotainment center acts as the reporting hub for all of your Honda Sensing driver-assist systems. These systems use a combination of radar and cameras to monitor your surroundings, alerting you to potential hazards. In some cases, these systems send visual cues to your display screen in the center stack and driver information system in the dash behind your steering wheel. 

Systems include adaptive cruise control with a low-speed follow that keeps your Accord at a preset speed and distance in traffic. A forward-collision warning system scans the road ahead, alerting you to potential hazards. Should you fail to react, the Collision Mitigation Braking System will intervene with emergency brake support to reduce a possible impact.

A lane-keeping assist system tracks your Accord within marked lanes. This system uses subtle steering input to keep you centered within your lane. The lane-departure warning system alerts you when it detects an unintentional drift. Honda’s Road Departure Mitigation System will engage emergency steering and braking to help keep you in your lane or from leaving the road.

The traffic sign recognition system sends images to your infotainment screen of common road signs like speed limit, yield, stop, and more. A head-up display comes standard on the Touring 2.0T trim. This system projects critical driving data directly onto the windshield above the steering wheel to keep you informed.
