A Diesel Automatic Built from Scratch........
A new Automatic which is built different from others. As Accord project leader Hiroyuki Ikegami puts it "it would have made no sense to compromise the exceptional flexibility of our 2.2 diesel. Therefore despite it taking more time we have undertaken an extensive development programme..... to bring an automatic diesel to market."
Top Features
Responsive Performance- With redesigned double wishbone suspension and an intelligent transmission system. With the engine and fuel tank moved closer to the car’s centre of gravity. So you get sharp, responsive handling, less body movement and unwavering stability. And the 5-speed auto gear box has a ‘kick-down’ feature to help you get added power when it’s needed most, whilst still making sure your acceleration is seamlessly smooth.
Refined Interior- Our heated and roomy seats learn to match the shape of your body. We call it ergonomics. You call it really comfortable. The rear seats smoothly recline, slide back, split and fold down, so you get a flat floor with masses of room. The interior is super-stylish, spacious and sculpted. It features a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and an LCD multi-information display in an attractive dashboard console.
Voice Recgonition- Voice-activation technology lets you control the cabin climate, audio system and intuitive satellite navigation. And you can use the steering wheel controls to see mileage, temperature and destination distance on the LCD multiinformation display. We’ll even display a reminder for when your service is due. The ‘talkback’ directions mean you’ll always find your way wherever you are and wherever you want to end up. The Bluetooth® wireless mobile phone interface lets you talk hands free though a series of speakers and microphones fitted throughout the car.
