Honda of Oakland - Is Honda Sensing® Standard on the 2025 Honda Accord in Oakland, CA?
Every 2025 Honda Accord includes Honda Sensing® standard, giving Oakland drivers advanced driver-assistive technologies from day one. At Honda of Oakland, we hear this question daily from in-market shoppers comparing sedans for commutes on I-580, weekend drives to the Redwoods, and school drop-offs in the hills. Our team helps you understand exactly what’s included, which trims add even more confidence, and how to get the most out of these features on your test drive.
Honda Sensing® is a suite of integrated systems that can alert you to potential hazards, help maintain lane position, and assist with speed and distance in traffic. On the 2025 Accord—gas and hybrid—these core features come standard. That means you do not need to step up to a higher trim just to access essential safety and driver-assistive capability. Below is a quick, structured overview of what you can expect as standard equipment, followed by trim-based enhancements that many Oakland shoppers ask about during their visit.
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): Helps bring the Accord to a stop when a frontal collision seems unavoidable.
- Road Departure Mitigation System: Can provide steering assistance and, if necessary, braking to help keep you from leaving the roadway.
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow: Helps maintain a set following interval in stop-and-go Bay Area traffic.
- Lane Keeping Assist System: Provides steering input to help keep the Accord centered in a detected lane.
- Traffic Sign Recognition: Can detect and display certain speed-limit and traffic-sign information right in your line of sight.
Because the Accord’s lineup is versatile, many shoppers want to know which models add even more confidence for dense city streets and tight parking around Uptown and Grand Lake. Here are the notable additions by trim that we demonstrate during your test drive at Honda of Oakland.
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor: Standard on SE and above to help with lane changes and backing out of busy lots.
- Parking Sensors: Standard on EX-L Hybrid and Touring Hybrid to help you gauge distance to nearby objects at low speeds.
- Low-Speed Braking Control: Standard on Touring Hybrid to help mitigate or prevent minor impacts when moving slowly.
- Head-Up Display: Standard on Touring Hybrid to project vital info onto the windshield and help you keep eyes up.
Local drivers also appreciate how the Accord’s hybrid trims support confident driving. Deceleration selectors are standard on hybrid models, letting you choose regenerative braking intensity—useful on Oakland’s rolling neighborhoods—while a motion management system helps refine cornering and stability. Pair these with the Accord’s available 12.3-inch touch-screen on hybrid trims and you get an intuitive interface that keeps settings easy to access during everyday driving.
- Before your test drive, ask our team to walk you through Honda Sensing® menus so you know where to adjust alerts and sensitivity.
- On your route, try Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow on a stretch of I-880 to experience smooth gap management.
- Use a city block with on-street parking to feel the assistance from Parking Sensors if you are evaluating EX-L Hybrid or Touring Hybrid.
- If you are comparing hybrid trims, sample different deceleration selector settings on a downhill to find your preferred feel.
Technology that supports awareness is most valuable when it’s easy to use. Hybrid trims add Alexa Built-in and an extra-wide 12.3-inch touch-screen to streamline voice control, while Touring Hybrid features Google built-in to integrate navigation, media, and more—so you can keep attention on the road while staying connected. And because Apple CarPlay® is available wirelessly on hybrid trims, your preferred smartphone experience remains within reach without added cables.
