2 Reasons the 2018 Honda Accord is the 2018 North American Car of the Year

Jul 16, 2018

Mid-sized sedans are becoming less and less popular in the automobile industry, but companies like Honda are aiming to bring them back into the spotlight. In fact, Honda has put so much effort into improving their sedans that the 2018 Honda Accord was recently named the 2018 North American Car of the Year. Here’s a quick look at what pushed the 2018 Honda Accord over the edge and gave it a leg up on the competition.

Increased Cargo Space

One of the biggest reasons that so many people are opting for larger SUVs these days is their larger cargo capacity. While the Accord isn’t going to beat many of the more spacious SUVs on the market today, it does offer an impressive 16.7 cubic feet of cargo space, which is more than enough for most drivers. That’s a pretty big improvement over last year’s 13 cubic feet.

A New Engine

The 2018 Accord also breaks away from the larger V-6 engine and has replaced it with a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine. These smaller VTECH engines offer a much more fuel-efficient ride without sacrificing much in the way of performance when compared to larger, less efficient engines.

The truth is, there’s so much to love about the all-new 2018 Honda Accord, it’s impossible to cover it all here. To best experience everything that won this vehicle the title of 2018 North American Car of the Year, head over to a local Honda dealership and check one out for yourself.
