Modern Hondas are packed with innovative technology designed to make every journey safer, easier and more enjoyable. But with so many smart features working behind the scenes, there’s a good chance you’re not using everything your car has to offer.
From advanced safety systems to everyday convenience, here are seven clever features you might not know are in your Honda.
If you drive a Honda hybrid, you’re already benefiting from regenerative braking, whether you realise it or not.
Every time you slow down or brake, the system captures energy that would otherwise be lost and converts it into electricity, recharging your battery. It’s a smart way to boost efficiency and extend your driving range without any extra effort.
Part of Honda’s advanced Honda SENSING safety suite, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) helps detect potential hazards ahead, including vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
Using a combination of camera and radar technology, the system provides visual and audible warnings. If a collision appears unavoidable, it can automatically apply the brakes to help reduce impact severity.
Your Honda can do more than you might think, just ask it.
With integrated voice control, you can make calls, find nearby locations, or play your favourite music without taking your hands off the wheel. Whether you’re searching for a petrol station, a restaurant, or asking to “call Mum,” it’s all just a button press away on the steering wheel.
Designed to make driving in busy conditions less stressful, Traffic Jam Assist helps keep you centred in your lane and maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Working alongside Adaptive Cruise Control, it can automatically adjust your speed and provide gentle steering support, perfect for motorway traffic or stop-start journeys.
Many Honda models feature Smart Entry, allowing you to unlock and lock your car without taking the key out of your pocket, simply touch the door handle.
You can also stay connected through the My Honda+ app, which lets you check your vehicle status remotely and even lock your car from your smartphone for added peace of mind.
Changing lanes is easier and safer with Honda’s LaneWatch system.
A discreet camera mounted on the passenger-side mirror displays a live feed of your blind spot on the central screen, giving you a wider field of vision when manoeuvring or overtaking.
No cable? No problem.
With wireless charging, you can simply place your compatible smartphone on the charging pad and keep it powered up on the go, ideal for busy days when you forget your charger.
Honda’s technology is designed to work seamlessly in the background, enhancing every journey without complication. Whether it’s improving safety, boosting efficiency, or adding everyday convenience, there’s always more to discover.
