Description
The 2019 Honda Accord solidifies its midsize sedan leadership with a tenth-generation redesign emphasizing turbocharged efficiency, spacious refinement, and advanced safety across six trims from LX to Touring 2.0T, earning 10Best Cars honors for its balanced dynamics. Powertrains feature a standard 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder producing 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque or an optional 2.0-liter turbo with 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft, both paired with a CVT (10-speed automatic on 2.0T) and front-wheel drive for seamless delivery. Acceleration reaches 0-60 mph in 7.1 seconds for the 1.5T and 5.5 for the 2.0T, with EPA ratings of 30/38 mpg city/highway for 1.5T models (29/35 for Sport) and 23/34 for 2.0T, aided by idle-stop and lightweight construction under 3,200 pounds. The chassis employs MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension with adaptive dampers on Touring, delivering composed handling and a quiet cabin via active noise cancellation and extensive insulation. Interior space seats five with class-leading 40.4 inches of rear legroom and 16.7 cubic feet of trunk volume, featuring available leather, heated/ventilated seats, head-up display, and dual-zone climate in a driver-focused cockpit. Honda Sensing is standard with adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, and road departure mitigation across eight airbags, complemented by a multi-angle rearview camera and available blind-spot monitoring. Infotainment centers on an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and 10-speaker premium audio, supported by push-button start and remote engine start. Measuring 192.2 inches long on a 111.4-inch wheelbase with 17- to 19-inch wheels, the Accord carries a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and
