You cant build a legacy by staying put. So even after countless awards and trophies, we continue to push the limits of innovation. With new turbocharged engine options and a European-inspired fastback design, the all-new Accord sets a new standard for sophistication and excitement. When our flagship sedan embraces innovative hybrid technology, you get an Accord that spends less time at the pump without sacrificing performance and comfort.
Cameron Rogers, with Edmunds, saidThanks to the increasing popularity of crossovers, midsize sedans are no longer the default vehicle of choice for small families. Automakers arent giving up the fight, however, with a number of traditionally popular models significantly refreshed or fully redesigned this year. Headlining the list is the 2018 Honda Accord, and its improvements are dramatic. Overall, the redesigned 2018 Honda Accord significantly moves the needle forward in the midsize sedan segment. Its many strengths and lack of major drawbacks make it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a spacious, comfortable and upscale four-door. Notably, we picked the 2018 Honda Accord as one of Edmunds Best Midsize Sedans for 2018.
Underneath the hood, the 2018 Accord Hybrid has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a pair of electric motors. The hybrid system has lost a step in the changeover, even if it is a tiny one, going from an EPA-estimated 48 mpg combined in 2017 to 47 mpg combined this year. Still, it is an impressive number for a car this size.
Standard equipment for the Hybrid includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, LED taillights, keyless ignition and entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, a manually adjustable drivers seat, a 7-inch central display, active noise cancellation, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and a four-speaker sound system with a USB port. Adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist are also standard.
