Honda Accord - Reasons to buy

Honda has been successfully selling its range of sedans and has never slowed down in redesigning, revamps, modifications and engine refreshments. With advanced technology and improved quality, the all-new Honda Accord brings a host of opportunities to sedan lovers.

With the all-new Accord, Honda has presented an affordable, reliable and fun-to-drive family class sedan. That being said, the Honda Accord brings a lot more to the table for people who prefer sedans. Honda has engineered the Accord with driver-friendly handling and upscale accouterments, with a redesigned and enhanced exterior, and blended them into a package that is comfortable and affordable, and looks amazing, inside and out.

The all-new 2020 Accord is its 12th generation and has been built on the success of the previous models with a range of comprehensive improvements and redesigning. The 2020 Honda Accord has been priced in a way to make it an affordable car that is completely value-for-money in its range, blending performance, comfort, fashion, and features in an affordable package for families in America.

Honda Accord comes in five different trim levels that are LX, EX, Sport, EX-L, and Touring variants, similar to the 2019 trim levels. There is also a separate Hybrid model of the 2020 Accord. Here is a look at Honda Accord price in US -

Variant	LX	EX	Sport	EX-L	Touring	Hybrid
Price	$23,780	$27,770	$26,530	$30,270	$36,100	$25,470

Apart from being value-for-money and an excellent package of comfort, affordability, and improved design, technology and features, the Accord is a preferred car to buy in its segment. A detailed analysis of what makes the car a top option in the market is given below.

1. The powerful Turbocharged engines

The base LX trim comes with a standard 1.5 litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine while the other trims, which are EX, Sport, EX-L, and Touring can be equipped with a more powerful and efficient 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, unlike last year’s Touring trim that was only available with the 2.0L engine. The base LX comes with a standard Honda Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT), while there are two other transmission options available for the other trim levels, namely a 6-speed Manual Transmission for both 1.5L and 2.0L engines and a specially designed 10-speed Auto for the 2.0L engine, that refines and considerably improves the power and performance of the engine.

No matter the transmission system, the Accord’s engine delivers smooth performance and efficiency, throwing in plenty of power. The standard 1.5L engine delivers an impressive 192 horsepower, while the 2.0L engine sends a whopping 252 horsepower, which is considerably high and powerful in its segment. The composite Honda engine is surely a reason to buy the all-new Accord, and a mid-size sedan delivering such brilliant output is clearly a top choice.

2. Driver-friendly and sporty handling   

The new 2020 Accord’s lineup has impressive and convenient handling capabilities. The handling of all the trim levels is extremely convenient and driver-friendly, while the Touring variant adds extra comfort and sportiness with its multi-ink adaptive suspension. For a sedan, the Accord delivers some smooth handling performance with easy shifting course and staying grounded and stable, even at those difficult corners, at considerable speeds.

The car has a near-perfect balance and great adjustability on various kinds of roads, with an impressive tuning of the suspensions on the lower trim levels and an electronic damper on the top of the line Touring variant.

3. Improved exterior design and renewed aesthetics

The new Accord’s designing has been an audacious approach by Honda, and it has served its purpose by making the sedan extremely appealing. With a fastback-like silhouette, fast and impressive roofline and tapering side windows, Honda gives an aerodynamic and sublimely aggressive look to the new Accord.

The car gets standard 17” alloys, with varieties of 19” that can be equipped on the upper trim levels and are available in a variety of impressive shades and metallic tints.

4. Luxurious cabin and a lot of cargo space

The Accord offers a luxurious cabin and is a very comfortable and spacious car in its segment. With ample legroom and lowered seats to compensate for the low roofline, the car offers generous cabin and cargo space, with a trunk capacity of 16.7 cubic feet.

5. Interiors, upgraded safety, and technological features

The new Accord comes with extremely secure brakes for a sedan of its size, with features like adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, forward collision and lane departure warning and a horde of features to enhance safety in an extremely aesthetic and appealing interior with high-quality upholstery materials and well-crafted design and trim. All the latest connectivity features like Apple Carplay, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an 8.0-inch interactive display is added for convenience and premium ride quality.

Summing up

Overall, the new Accord is one of the best cars you can buy in its segment.  It has been one of the top cars in its class, and with the new Accord in the market, it is likely to rule the market, and remain to be one of the favorite family sedans in the USA.
