The 2018 Honda Accord: Champion for the Good Reasons

While some cars require considerable marketing efforts before customers start to pay them some attention, others receive a royal welcome as soon as they hit the market. At least that’s the case for the 2018 Honda Accord, which just won the North American car of the year in a competition that opposed it to 20 solid competitors. You can find the best sedan of Quebecers’ favorite car manufacturer at Longueuil Honda, your Honda car dealer on the South Shore.

Completely Redesigned, Completely Improved

Those of you who are familiar with the Accord’s typical design will have to stop and take a second look the first time you’ll see the 2018 version to make sure you’re not mistaken. Lower, wider, shorter: the 2018 Accord’s body was completely redesigned to incorporate new sedans’ design trends, while the front now features a grille very similar to the ones found on the new Civic and Odyssey. The Accord 2018’s cabin has been strengthened to improve the road handling, the soundproofing, the safety and the maneuverability of the vehicle. On the technology side, Honda now offers heated and ventilated seats, and improved its entertainment system accessible via an 8 inches display. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and the OnStar 4G LTE system are included, of course, as well as all the other entertainment and safety features that are now standard on new vehicles.

It’s Turbo Time

When deciding between a Civic and an Accord, power is the decisive factor for most people that finally choose the latter. Well aware of that by now, Honda decided to make life easier for its customers by beefing up substantially the 2018 Honda Accord’s power. The car comes with a 1.5-liter turbo engine that produces more than 190 horsepower and can be paired with an automatic or a manual 6-speed transmission. If you’re not here to mess around, go for the 2-liter turbo engine which will provide you with 252 HP! The only transmission available for this engine is a 10-speed automatic gearbox, another exclusivity of this model.

The 2018 Honda Accord is a solid upgrade to a model already loved by customers. To see, drive and go home with yours, there is only one place to go: Longueuil Honda, your Honda car dealer on the South Shore.
