Description
The 2019 Honda Accord reinforces its midsize sedan supremacy with turbocharged poise, expansive cabin space, and standard Honda Sensing safety across LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims, available with 1.5T or 2.0T engines for diverse driver needs. The base 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder yields 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque with a CVT, while the 2.0-liter turbo ups output to 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft via a 10-speed automatic, achieving 0-60 mph in 7.1 and 5.5 seconds respectively. Fuel efficiency excels at 30/38 mpg city/highway for most 1.5T models (29/35 Sport) and 23/34 for 2.0T, supported by lightweight high-strength steel construction and aerodynamic optimization under 3,300 pounds curb weight. Chassis tuning with MacPherson struts front, multi-link rear, and available adaptive dampers delivers agile yet compliant handling, complemented by electric power steering and a near-silent cabin via active noise cancellation. Interior volume leads the class with 105.8 cubic feet passenger space, 40.4 inches rear legroom, and 16.7 cubic feet trunk, featuring available leather upholstery, 12-way power driver seat with memory, and dual-zone climate control in a modern dashboard layout. The 8-inch high-resolution Display Audio touchscreen integrates Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, 452-watt 10-speaker audio, and wireless charging, with push-button start and remote engine start standard on EX and above. Honda Sensing mandates adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, and road departure mitigation across eight airbags, earning IIHS Top Safety Pick and NHTSA five-star ratings.
