The Accord gets new styling that takes it in a more premium-looking direction without being simply an off-brand Acura (Honda’s premium brand). It also ditches the coupe body style and is only available as a sedan. The new Accord is lower and wider than the outgoing model, and sits on either 17- or 19-inch wheels depending on the trim level. An aggressive profile complements the new stance, and the rearward-sloping roof and rear windscreen are reminiscent of the Honda Civic and even the Audi A7, which is good — and not the old Honda Crosstour, which would be bad.
Inside, models with the 10-speed automatic transmission feature Honda’s confusing push-button gear selector, but a six-speed manual is available on Sport trim levels, and models with the turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinders get a mechanical shifter. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder will be available in late November.
The multimedia system features a touchscreen — 7 inches in LX models, 8 inches in other trims — with pages that can be customized like a smartphone. The larger system also features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Most importantly, after years of automotive journalists’ complaints, the stereo has physical controls, including both volume and tuning knobs.
