Honda Accord Details Base Model: 192 hp 1.5 liter engine Continuously Variable Transmission

 

2018 Honda Accord

The 2018 Honda Accord arrives with a handsome full-scale redesign that leaves the car a bit lower, wider, and shorter than before. Inline four-cylinder engines replace the old V6 engines, giving more power than before but with lighter weight, so you get great fuel economy

New Honda models have a reputation for safety, and with Honda Sensing safety features standard on all Honda Accord trims, you get adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning. You can opt-in further features on upper trim levels. Furthermore, the Honda Display infotainment system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Ford Focus Details Six engine choices Power: 175-325 hp AWD available on select trims S, SE, Titanium, Sport, and Platinum Trims (gas-powered models)

 

2018 Ford Fusion

The 2018 Ford Fusion offers more engine choices, but there's a catch: none of the powertrain options can touch the fuel efficiency of the Honda models. The Ford Fusion also hasn't undergone a complete redesign in five years, and it's starting to show its age a bit.

We also give an edge to the Honda Accord for safety features. Both cars offer similar features, but the difference is that the Honda cars offer more of them as standard equipment instead of offering them as options.

So how do our worthy competitors stack up? For looks, safety, reliability, fuel economy, and total cost of ownership, we'd give an edge to the 2018 Honda Accord, but we'd also admit that the best way to make an informed decision is to finalize it with a test drive.
