Safety Performance Leadership 

Based on the longstanding Honda "Safety for Everyone" approach, a commitment to advance safety for everyone sharing the road, the 11th-generation Accord is a safety performance leader in the midsize sedan class with advanced active and passive safety technology standard on every Accord.

All 2025 Accords come standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive technologies that includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Traffic Jam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR), Forward Collision Warning and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM). Blind spot information system with Cross Traffic Monitor also is standard on Accord SE and up.

Every Accord includes the proprietary Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure designed to help protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems.

The next-gen driver and passenger front airbags in Accord were designed to minimize the potential for severe brain trauma associated with angled frontal collisions. The front driver's airbag uses an innovative donut-shaped structure to cradle the head to reduce rotation in a collision. The passenger-side front airbag uses a three-chamber design with the two outer chambers designed to achieve a similar result. All Accord models feature front seatbelt pretensioners, and side, driver and front-passenger knee and side-curtain airbags.

In addition, both Rear Seat Reminder and Rear Seatbelt Reminder are standard across the lineup.
