2018 Honda Accord Trim Levels

The 2018 Honda Accord sports a major redesign that leaves the car lower, shorter, and wider. It looks ready to pounce, rather than merely accelerating or merging.

There are major developments in the powertrain department as well, with the V-6 engines being dropped in favor of inline four-cylinder engines. These are no ordinary four-bangers, however, since each is tuned for higher torque and horsepower. Their lighter weight also helps with performance. 

As for trim levels, the 2018 Honda Accord Sedan arrives in LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, EX-L V-6, and Touring trims.

2018 Honda Accord Safety and Special Features

New Honda cars are known for their safety features, and the Honda Accord lives up to that tradition. Honda Sensing active safety features are standard across the lineup, with all trims getting adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning standard. Upper trims can be outfitted with lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and road departure mitigation.

Honda Display Audio also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which certain of its competitors do not.

Powertrain Details For the first time, there will be no six-cylinder Honda Accord. Instead, a pair of turbocharged four-cylinder engines are on offer. The base 1.5 liter engine puts out 192 hp, while the 2.0 liter makes 252 hp. The former is paired to a CVT, while the latter gets a new ten-speed automatic transmission.

The Honda Accord celebrated its 40th birthday last year. It turns 41 in 2018 and celebrates its "birthday" by entering a new generation. It certainly doesn't show its age, and if any car can keep sedans relevant, this is the one. It's a great choice for the New Braunfels drivers served by Gillman Honda San Antonio.
