The saying goes that you “don’t mess with success.” Well, what about improving upon it? It’s a careful balancing act, but we firmly believe that Honda achieved this objective with the 2018 Accord. It’s upscale. It’s even a bit sporty. Honda wasn’t bashful when revamping the looks on this perennially award winning vehicle. While the coupe option may no longer be available, the 2018 Honda Accord sedan has some coupe-like design traits upon closer inspection. This model generation also weighs almost 100 pounds less than its predecessor. That has resulted in increased efficiencies across the board. The interior of the car also feels roomier than before despite the fact that Honda decreased the length of the car. It’s got all the tech features you could ever want available, and it comes in a wide variety of exterior paint color options.
We realize that mere words aren’t adequate to describe just how incredible the 2018 Honda Accord is, so here’s a thought: contact us online at Brannon Honda. We’ll put your name on a notification list to get in touch with the minute the 2018 Accord arrives at our dealership. We’re conveniently located at 300 Gadsden Hwy Birmingham, AL 35235.
Let’s get the easy questions answered first. Is it roomy inside? Absolutely. Does it have lots of tech toys? You bet. The 2018 Accord’s spacious interior actually gained 2.5 inches of legroom for rear occupants compared to last year’s model. It’s also loaded up with some of the most advanced technology available on the market including the Honda Sensing® safety package. Honda Sensing® includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist System and Traffic Sign Recognition. The 2018 Accord also has an available 8-inch color touchscreen that offers access to Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ features. Those options aren’t even available on a certain mid-sized competition car that starts with “C” and ends with “Y.” Other cool features you’ll find available inside the 2018 Accord are wireless charging station, 4G LTE wireless connection and USB charging ports.
Honda also took an unusual step to help free up even more room inside the 2018 Accord. They replaced the traditional gear shift lever with an electronic gear shift. It’s innovative touches like this that ensure that the 2018 Accord will be smash success with drivers in the Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills and Centerpoint areas of Alabama.
As noted earlier, the 2018 Accord features a bold look. It’s wider, shorter and lower than the outgoing 2017 model. The raked roof on the Accord gives the car a coupe-like characteristic which is a good thing since Honda elected not to bring back the actual coupe configuration for the 2018 model year. Headlights on the 2018 Accord are narrower than before and, from a profile view, the car gives off a chiseled, aggressive vibe.
Standard equipment under the hood of the 2018 Accord is a 1.5L engine. This power plant delivers 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft torque. There’s also a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that replaces the outgoing V6 option on the Accord. This configuration will increase the 2018 Accord’s horsepower to 252 and torque to 273 lb-ft.
