2018 Honda Accord Power
Notice the 2018 Honda Accord’s power. This vehicle is updated with three advanced powertrains that buyers should definitely make note of. The 2018 model ditches the optional 3.5-liter V6 engine and picks up two turbocharged inline-four-cylinders instead: a 1.5-liter turbo engine and a 20-liter turbo engine. The new 1.5-turbo is rated to reach 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0-liter turbo takes this a step further by producing 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Both of these new engines provide great power, quick spooling, and high efficiency.
The Hybrid has evolved as well. It features a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle engine with electric motors. This update helps buyers to save money and is simultaneously beneficial to the environment. With all three of these available powertrain options, you don’t have to compromise efficiency for power and performance. In fact, Honda describes this new model as “the most fun-to-drive and fuel-efficient Accord yet.”
The Honda Accord Has a Brand New Look
The 2018 Honda Accord has been completely redesigned. First, let’s look at the various trim levels in which this new model is available:
The 1.5-liter engine comes in six different trims: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, EX-L Navi, and Touring.
The 2.0-liter turbo engine is available in four trims: Sport, EX-L, EX-L Navi, and Touring.
The Hybrid comes in five available trims: Base, EX, EX-L, EX-L Navi, and Touring.
Now that you know which trims to choose from, notice this vehicle’s exterior and interior.
Beneath the Surface of the Sporty Exterior
Even from beneath the surface, this vehicle harbors amazing upgrades. The 2018 Honda Accord is said to use more ultra-high-strength steel than any of its predecessors. In fact, the structure incorporates about 29% more of this material. This reduces the weight of the vehicle by over 100 pounds and makes way for increased flexibility.
The 2018 Honda Accord has also been reshaped, giving it a sporty look that buyers of today love. It now has a long, sloping backlight and short edges on the rear door windows, as well as a full-length line that runs from the vehicle’s stem to its stern. The wheelbase has increased by 2.2 inches. Additionally, there has been a slight decrease in length and height of the vehicle, and an increase in its width.
There were many efforts to reduce noise while manufacturing the new Honda Accord. This vehicle now features structural adhesives, underbody covers, acoustic laminated windshield glass, and front and rear engine-compartment insulators. Now, the Accord is quiet enough to accommodate the traveling passengers of any growing family.
Updated Interior and Advanced Technology
The interior design of this vehicle takes the “sporty” feel up a notch. Manufacturers did a great job of coupling style and design with functionality. From the sporty seat positioning to the added interior space, the 2018 Honda Accord has it all!
The new Accord’s seats move inward. This provides more head, shoulder, and hip room for front seat riders. Additionally, there are extra inches of legroom for backseat passengers. So, even your tallest family members can fit more comfortably in the backseat than with previous models. The seats also have taller bolsters and variable firmness padding, providing added comfort.
The cabin tech has also been upgraded on the 2018 Accord. It features an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen with knobs for tuning and volume (something that Accord drivers will definitely love). Plus, this vehicle comes packed with lots of standard intelligence and premium features that have never been showcased on any other Honda vehicle before! Buyers of the new Honda Accord will automatically have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an updated HondaLink telematics system, and Honda Sensing.
