Honda Lifts Cover Off Updated Accord, Now With Apple CarPlay

Honda unveiled its refreshed mid-sized sedan on Thursday, complete with facelift and available 19-inch wheels on the Acura Accord.

The new car also sports updated technology, including Apple’s CarPlay and Android Auto systems and a 7-inch touchscreen on EX and higher trims.

The Accord will continue to use its 2.4-liter four and 3.6-liter V-6 engines.

In addition to the new nose and updated technology, Honda says its signature sedan will offer a suite of safety features including frontal collision warning and collision mitigation braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning and a hint of correction.

According to our own Tim Cain, sales of the Accord have remained relatively steady since the ninth-generation Accord went on sale in 2013. Honda quietly killed the plug-in hybrid Accord this year, which is statistically just as rare as a Porsche 918 Spyder.

    My '13 Malibu gets a new lease on looks - thanks Honda! Edit: Honorary Mentions- Lexus "Cylon" Nissan "Gluteus" Maxima (Front end looks like A$$) Hyundai: "What's that black square thing under the badge" Sonata And yes, the Chevy Spark is still worse than all of these, but the 2016 rectifies most of that.

    Funny, as I read more in other sites such as C and D and the like. There are several if not most posters like the new styling. GMAB. OAF.

    This can't be the actual model! Tell me this is just the crash-test version, please!

    WTF are they thinking? Did somebody find the Aztek styling committee and give them too much wabi sabi? Yikes.
