Setting New Safety Standards: The Pioneering 2024 Honda Accord
April 22 2024,
When it comes to midsize sedan safety, the all-new 2024 Honda Accord isn't just keeping up with the competition—it's leaving them in the rearview mirror. This state-of-the-art vehicle is packed with cutting-edge safety technologies and engineering innovations that are setting new benchmarks for occupant protection.
Next-Level Passive Safety
At the heart of the Accord's safety prowess is its meticulously engineered safety cell, featuring Honda's proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure. This design helps distribute and deflect collision forces away from occupants, providing exceptional protection in the event of a crash.
However, Honda has taken passive safety a step further by introducing several segment-first features. The 2024 Accord is the first model to feature next-generation front airbags designed to minimize traumatic brain and neck injuries in angled frontal collisions. It also includes standard knee airbags and rear side-impact airbags, further bolstering occupant protection from all angles.
Intelligent Driver Assistance
While passive safety is crucial, the best way to protect occupants is to avoid collisions altogether. That's where the Accord's suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies comes into play, led by the updated Honda Sensing system.
This intelligent safety suite includes features like Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. These systems act as an extra set of eyes and reflexes, helping to prevent accidents before they happen by detecting and responding to potential hazards on the road.
Confidence-Inspiring Performance
Safety isn't just about technology; it's also about the vehicle's overall performance and handling. Here, the 2024 Accord shines with its refined suspension, precise steering, and potent hybrid powertrain option that delivers 204 hp and an impressive 247 lb-ft of torque.
These performance attributes, combined with noise and vibration reduction measures, give drivers the confidence and control they need to navigate any situation safely and with poise.
Raising the Bar for Safety Ratings
The 2024 Accord's safety excellence has already earned it top accolades from the industry's most respected safety authorities. It's the latest Honda model to receive the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) highest honour, the TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) rating.
In rigorous IIHS testing, the Accord outperformed competitors in various evaluations, including the updated moderate overlap front test and new nighttime pedestrian detection assessments. It even earned the highest possible "SUPERIOR" rating for its standard front crash prevention system in daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian tests.
With its innovative safety engineering, cutting-edge driver assistance technologies, and confidence-inspiring performance, the 2024 Honda Accord is setting a new standard for midsize sedan safety. And this commitment to occupant protection is part of Honda's broader "Safety for Everyone" vision, which drives the company's continuous pursuit of advanced safety solutions for all road users.
