Al-Futtaim’s Trading Enterprises – Honda has announced the UAE market launch of the new, redesigned 2021 Honda Accord. Offering a refreshed styling and new features across all grades, Honda’s flagship mid-size sedan is powered with two turbo-charged engine variants, a 1.5L Turbo and 2.0 Turbo, offering a sportier look and feel. Now available across Honda showrooms in the UAE, the 2021 Accord boasts a more distinguishable Sport Grade with exterior and interior design updates including new Piano Black accent trims, 18-inch machine-cut alloy wheels, new interior colour on the concert hall-inspired cabin and advanced features added to enhance safety and connectivity.
First introduced in 1976, the Honda Accord is the second longest-running automotive nameplate in Honda’s history, after the Honda Civic. Poised as the first automobile from a Japanese automaker to be manufactured in the US, the Accord has generated a total global production of more than 17.5 million units to date, making it Honda’s perennially best-selling midsize sedan.
The 2021 Honda Accord boasts a low, wide stance, and rigid unibody structure that features a light and sophisticated chassis. Conveying “Absolute Confidence” in every element of design and performance, the 2021 Accord offers UAE motorists outstanding quality, fuel efficiency, unprecedented driving dynamics and the latest generation of advanced Honda safety and driver-assistive technologies. Trading Enterprises – Honda is offering the 2021 Accord in four grades, including LX, LX Sport, EX and EX-L – all powered by a 1.5L Turbo engine. The fifth and top-of-the-range grade is the 2.0L Turbo Sport that is packed with a wide range of technologies and design trims on both exterior and interior.
Rhett Maxwell, Honda UAE’s General Manager at Al-Futtaim’s Trading Enterprises, said, “We are excited to welcome Honda’s flagship model to the UAE in its new and refreshed design inside-out. Redesigned to resonate with the modern driver, the 2021 Accord offers a new level of emotional appeal and premium quality that defies its mainstream mid-size sedan status among UAE drivers. With its sportier looks yet luxurious feel, remarkable performance, innovative connectivity, and high-standard safety credentials, the 2021 Accord is Honda’s testament to take the driving experience to a completely new level.”

Audio and Connectivity
The 2021 Honda Accord is a technologically advanced vehicle, which offers the latest features in technology and connectivity. Some of the features on the 2021 Accord Include:
- 8-inch Display Audio Touchscreen *: Full colour 8-inch Display Audio Touchscreen offers the latest in, device connectivity and acts like a command centre allowing the driver and the front seat passenger to customise according to preference. Equipped with Apple CarPlayTM in its interface, the audio system introduced the new Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), that provides crystal clear sound and more details to display on the screen about the music or the radio station.

-
- Wireless Charging: Smartphones supporting wireless charging can be easily charged, using the Wireless charging platform in the centre console on the EX-L and 2.0 L Sport Grade.
- Rear Wide View Camera: It provides three different angles — normal, top-down and wide for a better view of what is behind the driver whenever shifting into reverse.
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): To help reduce the likelihood of a frontal impact, the Collison Mitigation Braking System™ helps bring the car to a stop if the system determines that a collision with a vehicle detected in the front or a pedestrian is unavoidable. A warning sound, and if necessary, brake pressure is automatically applied.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW): It scans the road ahead to warn drivers of a potential collision and provides visual and audible alerts to prompt the driver to take corrective actions to avoid a potential hazard.
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW): It will detect if the car is straying out of its current lane without the turn signal activated and provides an alert to prompt the driver to make a correction.
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Road Departure Mitigation System uses the windscreen-mounted camera to detect whether the car is veering out of its lane. It applies subtle corrections to keep the vehicle in its lane, and in certain situations can apply braking force and provide a tactile warning.
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) ™: It helps to keep the car in the middle of the current lane, by detecting road markings with a monocular camera and making small adjustments to steer the vehicle within the lines.
- Head on Collision System: The Head on Collision System warns drivers of a potential collision with audible and visual warnings. It also uses a tactile warning with autonomous braking as well and vibrates the steering wheel to warn the driver in case they are tired.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), allows the driver to set a desired speed and following distance from a vehicle detected ahead, allowing the Accord to adjust its speed automatically for a safe and comfortable journey.
- Low Speed Follow: The system uses a millimetre wave radar and monocular camera mounted to the windshield to continually track the distance to the detected vehicle ahead and adjusts the Accord’s speed to maintain the set distance. The Low Speed Following function allows the Accord to come to a complete stop, if the vehicle in the front slows down and stops. To move off again, simply apply the throttle.
