For 2001, all Accord EX models come standard with side airbags, an in-dash 6-disc CD with a cassette player, illuminated window switches, premium moquette upholstery, floor mats, new alloy wheels, cruise control, a power moonroof, keyless entry, and auto-off headlights.
The EX-V6 models also get traction control, power front seats (8-way for the driver and 4-way for the passenger), a leather interior, wood trim, automatic climate control, a HomeLink universal remote for garage and home security systems, and new steering-wheel audio controls.
Power for all LX and EX models comes from a 16-valve, 2.3-litre inline-4 that produces 150 horsepower and 152 pound-feet or torque. This engine and the V6 are designed not to need a tune-up for the first 160,000 km.
