This generation of Accord has a coupelike silhouette and a lower stance. Two turbocharged, four-cylinder engines are available. The base version is a 1.5-liter that's shared with the Honda CR-V SUV and the Civic compact car. The new 192-hp engine is mated to a CVT, a combination that is mostly unobtrusive and delivers adequate power. The uplevel turbocharged 2.0-liter brings 252 hp and a slick 10-speed automatic transmission but features an unintuitive push-button gear selector. The Hybrid gets an impressive 47 mpg overall without sacrificing acceleration. The new infotainment system is a big improvement, and includes knobs for tuning and volume adjustment. Handling is responsive, and the ride is comfortable. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance. For 2021, the Accord loses its manual transmission option. Other updates include refreshed exterior styling, a standard 8-inch infotainment system, and rear-seat reminder system. Higher trims get wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
