For 2018, Honda completely redesigned its popular midsize sedan, the Accord. This has made the Accord one of the best models you can get in its class, and it means there are a lot of exciting changes for the new model year. There are too many to list them all in this article, but here are some of the most surprising changes. A Lighter Frame For 2018, Honda wanted to bring the Accord's weight down without sacrificing any interior space. That's why they made the frame lighter by using special alloys. Between that and a 10-speed automatic, the 2018 Accord has better mileage numbers than any Accord before it. Standard Honda Sensing The 2018 Accord now comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite on all trims. That means even the base LX trim comes with the collision-mitigation braking system,  road departure mitigation, and even traffic sign recognition. Extra Technology Honda Sensing isn't the only new high-tech feature to show up on the 2018 Accord. Other optional and standard features include a Wi-Fi hotspot, a wireless phone charger, a head-up display that can show you how fast you're driving without you having to take your eyes off the road. The new 2018 Honda Accord costs a bit more than the old model, but it's well worth it for the many extra features and high-tech gadgets.

The Passport is the newest entry in Honda's SUV lineup, slotting between the compact CR-V and the midsize Pilot. Unlike the Pilot, the Passport will only come with two-row seating, and Honda also plans on giving it a rugged design that will do well on unpaved roads and dirt trails. Aside from that, there are a few things that help the Passport stand out. American-Made The new Passport will be coming out of the Honda manufacturing plant in Lincoln, Alabama. It joins other big Honda vehicles like the Odyssey, the Pilot, and the Ridgeline, all of which are popular vehicles in the United States. The Passport's design came out of Ohio, so this is very much an American SUV for American buyers. Technology for the Great Outdoors To make the Passport an outdoor-friendly vehicle, Honda is giving it features like Intelligent Traction Management, which lets you set the traction control to snow mode even with front-wheel drive. It also comes with a V-6 engine and a nine-speed transmission. Honda Sensing on Every Trim A growing number of Honda vehicles are coming standard with Honda Sensing, a set of advanced driver assistance features like the Collision Mitigation Braking System and the Road Departure Mitigation System. The new Honda Passport is no exception. Honda plans on releasing the Passport for the 2019 model year, so you can expect to see one at your local dealership soon. The Passport combines an SUV's interior space with a truck's ruggedness and a Honda's durability, making it a great pick for many American customers.
