2022 Honda Accord in West Nyack, NY - $0

First introduced to American car buyers in 1976, the Honda Accord is the second-longest-running automotive nameplate in Honda's history. The Accord has become a household name over nine generations and 42 model years. Now the automaker has introduced the tenth generation of this iconic sedan.

The 2018 Accord is all new from the ground up, built on a new platform with a lower, wider stance, a lighter and more rigid unibody structure; a lighter and more sophisticated chassis; the introduction of Accord's first-ever turbocharged engines, a new automatic transmission and a third-generation two-motor hybrid system.

In recreating Accord for its 10th generation, Honda designers and engineers sought to convey "absolute confidence" in every element of design and performance. Building on the bedrock character of Accord – its outstanding quality, fuel efficiency, packaging and sophisticated driving dynamics – they have imbued the new Accord with a level of emotional appeal and premium quality.

Available in LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, EX-LN, and Touring trim levels, base power for the new Accord is generated by a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. A 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder is an available option. Both motors are joined to a six-speed manual gearbox. A Continuously Variable automatic Transmission (CVT) is optional for the 1.5L, while a ten-speed automatic transmission is available for the 2.0L motor.

The new Accord is stronger and much improved under the skin featuring a platform that uses 29 percent ultra-high strength steel, the highest ever for a mass-produced Honda. The body is lighter while being more rigid, giving occupants a bank vault solid ride. The control hardware also received attention from Honda engineers with an aluminum intensive front suspension with new ultra-rigid aluminum and steel subframe; multi-link rear suspension with floating subframe; and dual-pinion, variable-ratio electronic power steering.

Inside the passenger cabin boasts a larger, more premium and tech savvy interior that compliments its athletic and elegant body design, delivering a level of quality and premium feel. The new Accord features a panoramic forward view that is enabled by its lower cowl and by front roof pillars that are 20 percent narrower and moved rearward on the lower (and relative to the driver's seating position).

The new soft-touch instrument panel features an ultra-thin profile and three-tier design with a strong upper deck that describes a continuous arc from its outboard section through the side doorsills, giving a sense of strength and visual continuity.

A more intricately contoured sport inspired steering wheel with deep-set thumb rests and available paddle shifters compliment the Accord's more sophisticated and sporty performance capabilities. Meticulous attention to the tactile and visual quality of surface materials and decorations communicates modernity and soft-spoken elegance throughout the cabin.

The inboard positioning of the seats provides for improved freedom of movement and is complimented by longer, wider and more deeply padded arm rests, front and rear; while the Accord's newly designed seats feature taller shoulder bolstering for a more premium appearance and improved lateral support. New high-accuracy seat padding with variable firmness improves seating comfort and support. The driver's seat now has available 12-way power adjustment with height-adjustable lumbar support, and passenger comfort is further enhanced by available new heated and ventilated front seats and by improved rear seat heating with both seat bottom and seat back heating elements.
