The 2012 Honda Accord Sedan sees no major changes following its model-year 2011 freshening. Honda's midsize car comes as a 4-door sedan and 2-door coupe (see separate report). Trim levels include LX, LX-P, SE, EX, and EX-L. LX, LX-P, and SE have a 177-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. EX and EX-L offer the choice of a 190-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder or a 271-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. The V6 includes Honda's Variable Cylinder Management cylinder deactivation. A 5-speed manual transmission is offered on 4-cylinder versions. A 5-speed automatic is available on those and standard on the V6. Safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. Leather upholstery and heated front seats are standard on the SE and EX-L. A navigation system is also available on the EX-L, and versions so equipped are priced as separate models. Navigation-equipped cars include a rearview camera.
