While it may be facing some pretty fierce competitors, the Honda Accord maintains its standing as one of the top-rated mid-size sedans. For 2019, Honda upped the Accord’s game by increasing its elegance and adding advanced technology.
The exterior of the sedan is smooth and sleek. In fact, the vehicle exudes grace. The roof flows toward the back of the car with a fastback line that slides neatly to the trunk while the size of the vehicle promises substance. Honda is offering the car in silver, red, black, and white. It also comes in a brilliant blue and a muted champagne shade.
Inside the cabin, the Accord features plenty of soft-touch materials along with body-hugging seats, a nice-size infotainment screen, and the latest in connectivity technology like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Honda insulated the vehicle nicely, so drivers won’t be bothered by traffic noise. The infotainment system is user-friendly, and it includes physical knobs, making it even easier to use. Honda also offers seat adjustability. This means that drivers can change the height and distance of their seats for the best visibility. This is a car that has a spacious backseat and an abundance of storage consoles. The trunk is enormous. Car buyers will be able to fit almost anything inside.
Honda is equipping the 2019 Accord with a 1.5-liter turbo engine that generates 192 horsepower. This engine is mated with a CVT automatic transmission. Buyers can upgrade to a 2.0-liter turbo engine, which produces 252 horsepower. The larger engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which works seamlessly with the engine. Car buyers can purchase a hybrid Accord. This model gets 47 miles per gallon combined city and highway.
Last year, Honda made its collection of driver assisting features standard on all Accord trims, something it continued for 2019. So, this year’s model comes with amenities like blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and a driver-attention feature that advises people to take a break when it notices fatigued driving.
The list of technology goodies includes HondaLink telematics as well as roadside assistance, stolen vehicle tracking, and remote locking. It also has remote engine start and navigation. During a test drive, car buyers will appreciate the sedan’s handling. The Accord’s drivetrain delivers a quick response. It also manages corners easily with no body roll. The brakes feel strong and natural. When tested, the car stopped from a speed of 60 miles per hour in 122 feet.
The 2019 Honda Accord comes with a high resale value, making this an easy car to buy. Along with its striking appearance, the sedan features a welcoming interior. Not only is the Accord an easy car to buy, it is also an easy car to own.
