A vehicle for the metaphorical long haul by definition, both in terms of performance longevity and physical distance, a "touring" iteration is designed to go the extra mile. The vehicle research and evaluation gurus at Kelley Blue Book went further than that as pertains the benefits of the 2017 Honda Accord Touring, awarding the V6-equipped powerhouse with a 9.3 Overall Rating, with 9.1 for Driving Dynamics, a laudable 8.9 for Comfort & Convenience, 8.4 for its respectable Interior & Exterior Design, and 9.1 for Value. And we at Honda West can see why KBB has called the car everything from "family-friendly, stylish, powerful and refined" to "efficient, reliable, safe" and long-run value-maintaining.
Just look at the specs. The 278-horsepower, 3.5L V6 engine is a paragon of the whisper-quiet, with smooth-operating Active Noise Cancellation™ (ANC) and Active Sound Control technologies, and it shells out 252 pound feet of torque to truly take us places. But 2017 Honda Accord Touring builds further on the similarly feature-packed 2017 Accord EX-L V6 design, adding collision and road departure mitigation technologies, a Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and adaptive cruise control.
2017 Accord Touring, now a model of smart-driving tech, can monitor lane markings, nearby vehicles and impediments, keeping you aware not only of these, but also of intra-lane drift, with mild steering torque and brake pressure feedback urging course correction. LED headlights with auto on-off functionality and auto high-beam/low-beam switching, as well as Rain-Sensing Variable Intermittent Windshield Wipers, help clarify the terrain ahead during inclement weather for peace of mind. And turn-by-turn directions, voiced by the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Honda HD Digital Traffic, put on the Accord Touring finishing touch, making the trip from point A to point "Anywhere" a breeze.
