The 2018 Honda Accord is here and it's completely new inside and out. Honda redesigned the sedan, giving it a lower and wider stance and a bit of a fastback look. There were also some drastic changes under the hood. Gone is the V6 engine option. The 2018 Honda Accord's two available power plants are both turbocharged four-cylinders. A hybrid is also on offer. While power is down the smaller engines mean less weight and better weight distribution. There are three transmissions on offer: a six-speed manual, CVT, and 10-speed automatic.
Standard features include Honda Sensing, a suite of advanced safety features, and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen. Pricing was not announced but expect the 2018 Honda Accord to cost a bit more than its predecessor given its thorough overhaul.
