2011 Honda Accord Saloon UK
Though the new 2011 Honda Accord Saloon has not yet made its appearance on Honda UK‘s main site, I was able to gather some great photos through their media site.
Just looking at the exterior shots there doesn’t seem to be much difference from the refreshed 2011 JDM Accord. The vehicles in the gallery all feature the aero kit which comes standard on the Type S and higher models. Both UK and JDM 2011 Accords benefit from upgrades in headlight technology not found on the 2011 Acura TSX.
“One of the most visible changes to the top of the range Accords is the addition of Active Cornering Lights, which provide enhanced illumination when the vehicle is turning. The light unit on the relevant side will be illuminated when the driver activates the indicators in that direction or turns the steering wheel more than 90 degrees. When the vehicle is in reverse, both lights will be activated to give a good view to either side of the driver.
Another new lighting technology for Honda is the High Beam Support system, which is fitted on vehicles with the bi-xenon headlights. This system is controlled by a camera fitted to the windscreen in the area of the driver rear view mirror. The camera detects oncoming headlights or the taillights of a vehicle in front and automatically dips the headlights onto their normal setting if they are on high-beam. ” – Honda UK For more info on the The 2011 Honda Accord Saloon and Tourer visit Honda UK.

Being released first of the group, it’s possible the 2011 Acura TSX missed out and the newer headlights. Hopefully the newer lighting tech finds it’s way to the 2012 TSX.
