As the death toll of road accidents increase in the country, car dealers are introducing onto the markets new models that ensue pedestrian and driver safety in case of accidents.

The “Honda City”, one of such vehicles, is soon to be launched in the country.
At a press launch in Accra, the Country Head of the Automobile Division of Stallion Motors, Mr Rockson Johnson, said the front body structure of the new Honda City ensured advanced pedestrian safety features that reduced the impact of a crush on a victim in case of an accident.
He said the car’s unique selling point was its engine, which was the finest in the world and moulded in accordance with changes in recent technology.
“Even in the event of a battery failure, the airbag will still operate” he stated and pointed out that the new vehicle came with an Anti-Lock Braking System with Brake Assist, dual airbags, and pre-tension seatbelts.
Additionally, he said the manufacturers of the new Honda City had taken into consideration all the global concerns on safety, fuel efficiency and conservation of the environment.
The prices of the manual and automatic Honda City, Mr Johnson said, ranged between $21,000 to $23,000, but assured prospective customers that Stallion Motors had liaised with the various banks in the country to assist them in the acquisition of any of the vehicles.
“The Honda City is one of the most successful car brands in the country today and certainly the most desirable sedan in its category” he said, and expressed optimism that with its launch in Ghana, the country would become the largest market for Honda City in the sub-region.
