3 Surprising Changes to the 2018 Accord

Jan 21, 2019

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. On top of that, the new Accord has a faster engine and a more efficient design, making it an all-around better vehicle.
