Honda Cars w/ Adaptive Cruise Control (10 Popular Models)
Once only seen on luxury vehicles, adaptive cruise control has become commonplace in many mainstream cars, including Hondas.
The following Honda cars, SUVs, trucks, and minivan models have an adaptive cruise control system.
Check the corresponding tables to see the relevant model years when the system became available.
Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Cruise Control
The first iteration of the more-basic cruise control system in older Honda models helps the vehicle maintain a steady speed, ideal for highway cruising.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) enhances the conventional system by adjusting the car’s speed to match the vehicle in front, slowing down when the vehicle ahead does.
When the vehicle ahead changes lanes or accelerates, the ACC will return your car to the speed you set.
Newer Hondas have Honda Sensing, a host of active safety features that includes adaptive cruise control.
Rival mainstream car makers that have popular models with ACC include:
- Toyota vehicles with ACC.
- Nissan vehicles with ACC.
- Hyundai vehicles with ACC.
- Kia vehicles with ACC.
- Volkswagen vehicles with ACC.
- Ford vehicles with ACC.
