Honda has Developed a New Airbag, the i-SRS

 

Honda's new airbag, the i-SRS, is an important step forward in safety technology. Compared to a conventional airbag (SRS), the i-SRS deploys twice as quickly (in 0.020 seconds) and protects the driver longer.
 
To achieve these results, Honda's engineers developed a system that gradually deploys the airbag. Gas is introduced through a spiraling tunnel and is first directed to the centre of the airbag, which quickly attains the pressure required to protect the driver. The gas then continues down the spiral, increasing the airbag's diameter.
 
The airbag has also been equipped with a gas release control valve ensuring that the gas is only released once the airbag is completely inflated. It remains at a constant pressure longer, increasing the driver's safety.
 
The i-SRS will be introduced in the Honda Life, a small car scheduled for launch in Japan this November.

2010 Honda CR-V - The jiggle-wiggle-wobble free SUV

Thursday December 3, 2009

There's no reason to compromise your drive to have an SUV. With the 2010 CR-V you can arrive at your destination stirred, not shaken. The 2010 CR-V offers and delivers unsurpassed driveability to SUV drivers.

The new 2010 Honda CR-V brings a dynamic sense of style, handling and refinement to the SUV market, bridging the gap between Sport and Utility vehicles and sedans like no other SUV on this or other markets.
Stylish, highly-versatile and with a roomy 5-passenger interior, the CR-V offers sedan-like handling from a lower centre-of-gravity and a wide track that creates stability and handling for the vehicle.
Combined with a refined suspension the CR-V takes the jiggle-wiggle and wobble out of the SUV class.

Standard fitment of Real TimeTM 4WD and Honda's unobtrusive electronic stability system - VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) - ensures that handling is more stable in even the worst driving conditions.

As a crossover SUV, the foundation of the CR-V starts with sedan-like on-road performance and good fuel economy and then adds excellent interior packaging, to create a SUV like no other. The CR-V's packaging provides generous 5-passenger interior space and superior cargo functionality that no other vehicle in the segment can match.

The 2010 CR-V provides an optimal balance of size and performance for professionals and families - people who need a vehicle that can perform triple duty as a stylish daily driver, a passenger hauler and as a platform for active lifestyles. Equally at home on the café strip or a snowy mountain road, the 2010 CR-V is a step beyond conventional SUV styling with ultra-modern lines, a fashionable presence with meticulous attention to detail.

The standard 6 disc CD player is capable of playing MP3 and WMA files, the AUX input allows connection of any audio player and the USB connector provides control for a memory stick with audio files and iPOD with full playlist / album / artist control. Speed sensitive volume control adjusts output relative to vehicle speed.

Traction-enhanced Real Time 4WD is standard on all CR-V's enhancing all-weather capabilities when driving in rain, snow, dirt roads and sandy conditions - without the significant weight, fuel economy and handling performance drawbacks of a conventional four-wheel-drive system. Electronic Stability Control, Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) works in conjunction with the 4WD system to not only provide road holding prowess but also improved off road ability by braking individual slipping wheels, thereby redirecting driving torque to the wheel/s with more traction.

2010 Honda Fit - Fit Be Nimble, Fit Be Quick

The Fit is both very economical and fun to drive, thanks to a 117-horsepower, 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with Honda's i-VTEC variable valve timing system. The engine provides enough power even with the available automatic transmission, which has five speeds for better passing response and more relaxed highway cruising. A precise-shifting 5-speed manual is standard, but for those who want the best of both worlds, the Fit Sport model, when fitted with the automatic transmission, features paddle-shifters alongside the steering wheel.

Above all else, it's the Fit's interior that impresses the most. Front seats are ample for tall or large adults, an armrest is available in front and the back seat can actually seat adults, thanks to plenty of headroom all around and longer cushions than is customary for back seats. What's more, thanks to Honda's Magic Seat, the Fit's rear seat folds neatly down to create a flat floor with just one continuous motion, with no need to even remove the rear headrests. The steering wheel adjusts for tilt and telescope, and there's a footrest for the driver. There is also an abundance of convenient cupholders and cubbies.

Thanks to the versatile configuration, the Fit is surprisingly commodious for large cargo items. With the seats down, there is 57.3 cubic feet of space-enough for items like a big-screen TV or cumbersome sports equipment-and there's no tall edge to lift over when loading items.

Also of note on the 2010 Fit is Honda's ACE body structure, which is designed for better compatibility with vehicles of different sizes. The Fit has done well in crash tests and is the only vehicle in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's "Minicar" category to achieve Top Safety Pick status for 2009. Standard safety equipment on the Fit includes anti-lock brakes and active front headrests, along with front side and side-curtain airbags. Electronic stability control, a feature not usually seen on low-priced small cars, is available on the Fit Sport.
