2020 Accord vs. 2020 Altima Comparison in Omaha, NE

2020 Honda Accord vs. 2020 Nissan Altima

If you’re in the market for a new vehicle that promises safe, convenient travel while keeping every ride fun, comfortable, and engaging, the midsize sedan market is sure to have what you need. The Honda Accord and Nissan Altima both surpass the class standards with their own features and attributes, so let’s park them side by side for a close comparison.

Performance

True to the sedan segment’s standards, each of these cars maintain an even ride whether you’re commuting through the city or traveling on the highway. Once you’re behind the wheel, you’ll notice that the Accord pairs its balanced composure with particularly spirited handling and performance, taking corners with grace and remaining planted along twists and turns. It also delivers ample energy whenever you need to accelerate onto the highway or from a stop. Even as the Altima provides a gentle ride, it doesn’t match the Accord’s agility. The Honda sedan runs on a 192-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder, outperforming the Altima’s non-turbocharged 188-horsepower 4-cylinder. Even if you weigh the two sedans’ available engine, the Accord still offers more power as well as more miles to the gallon in the city.

Cabin Quality

Up to five people can ride in either vehicle, but the interior design and comfort will vary from model to model. Honda has furnished the Accord with fine materials from front to back, with soft-contact surfaces and smooth upholstery on the supportive yet cushioned seating. Although the Altima also offers some appealing cabin styling, the overall fit and finish fall short with the presence of low-end materials throughout. In both vehicles, you can customize the look and feel with available leather upholstery. Honda and Nissan also issue a rearview camera in their sedans, while the Accord sports additional standard safety features like traffic sign recognition and automatic emergency braking.

Space

Your passengers will enjoy plenty of space to relax in both of the Accord’s spacious rows, with generous overhead room and legroom. The Altima also offers sufficient seating space, and adult riders will find all the elbowroom they need in either option. However, when you need to carry cargo as well, the Accord pulls ahead with a larger trunk. When every square inch makes a difference, the Honda delivers with a 16.7-cubic-foot trunk, a more accommodating storage area than the Nissan can provide.
