2021 Accord vs. 2021 Altima

The 2021 Honda Accord and the 2021 Nissan Altima are two of the most prominent midsize sedans available, each representing a flagship model for its respective maker. If you’ve found yourself on the market for a midsize car, you’ve likely landed between these two models, and their similarities can make it a difficult choice. Let’s explore how these two cars are different to help you make your decision.

Performance Comparison

The 2021 Honda Accord has a peppy, confident performance thanks to the base 1.5-liter engine that makes 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. The Honda Accord is often praised for being a driver’s car, and that can be felt clearly in the 2021 Accord, which has engaging, agile handling. The 2021 Nissan Altima offers a far less inspiring performance with a 2.5-liter base engine that offers 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque and a noticeably duller performance.

The 2021 Honda Accord can also be had with a turbocharged 2.0-liter that makes 252 horsepower while the Altima’s alternative turbocharged engine only offers 236 horsepower.

Interior Comparison

Which of these two midsize cars offers more passenger room all around, more cargo room, and better standard features? That would be the 2021 Honda Accord. With more front and rear headroom, and a whopping 5-inches more legroom in the rear, the Honda Accord gives everyone plenty of space to stretch out and get comfortable. Got stuff to store? The Accord’s 16.7 cubic-feet trunk is ready for all of it while the Altima’s 15.4 cubic-feet trunk will leave you wishing for more space.
