The 2019 Honda Accord won a range of awards for its exceptional value for money and the 2020 version looks set to continue the trend. There are minimal changes to the previous year’s model and with so many rave reviews, it’s easy to see why.
Options for Engines
There are two variants for the Accord’s engine. The first is a 1.5-liter turbocharged version, which produces 192 horsepower combined with 192 pound feet of torque. These specs, combined with a continuously variable or shiftless transmission, make for a popular choice due to the seamless shifting and excellent fuel economy. The other option is a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 252 horsepower and 273 pound feet of torque. This is combined with a 10-speed automatic transmission for those who want smooth, imperceptible downshifting.
A Hybrid With a Difference
The other engine option is a beautifully engineered hybrid that is fuel-efficient and cost-effective to run–a great choice for anyone who wants to buy a car with green credentials. The two-motor hybrid powertrain, combined with the intelligent continuously variable transmission, provides the system with 212 horsepower making for an incredibly responsive driving experience. EV mode allows you to select whether you are using the hybrid battery and electric motor exclusively, so you can ensure that you are using the most efficient option for the conditions.
Technologically Turbocharged
The in-car display screen is an engineer’s dream, giving real-time updates on the flow of energy between the engine and the electric motor, so you will always know exactly what is going on under the hood. With the option to integrate Apple or Android, you can also use the state-of-the-art display to control your music, check the traffic and weather, listen to text messages, and take phone calls. You can also choose the Honda Link system, which allows you to control the locks, learn about your fuel consumption, and even schedule a service appointment, all from the app on your phone.
There are also a range of driver-assistive technologies which reduce the risks of driving, including the Collision Mitigation Braking System to reduce the impact of unavoidable collisions; the Road Departure Mitigation System, which will alert you if you stray off course; and sensors on the front and rear bumpers to alert you to any potential hazards.
An Incredible Interior
The outside of the 2020 Honda Accord is impressive and the inside lives up to the promise of the exterior design. There is an impressive amount of legroom in the front and back, making it large enough for five people to travel in comfort. You can choose the style that suits you best, including leather seats, and you can choose heated seats in the front and rear. The front seats are also ventilated for extra comfort on hot days. The dual-zone climate control, single-touch-powered moon roof, and the full-color driver information panel all add to the driving experience of this expertly engineered vehicle.
The 2020 Honda Accord has a lot to offer, whether your priority is a sleek exterior, a luxuriously comfortable interior, or an incredibly efficient engine that is both cost-efficient and environmentally friendly, this car has it all.
