You don’t want to spend more than you have to on a new car, but you also don’t want to be stuck in a car you hate—or even one you don’t love—day in and day out. So what does that mean? It means that you’re looking for an affordable, top-of-the-line car. Fat chance, right? Wrong. All you need to do is head into Hall Honda Elizabeth City and test drive the 2018 Honda Accord.
For the 2018 model year, the Honda brand introduced the tenth generation of its most popular vehicle, and it’s safe to say that they made the best even better. The all-new Honda Accord is built on a new platform that features a lower, wider stance and a lighter, more rigid unibody structure. Altogether, this means a quieter cabin, a smoother ride, and more dynamic performance. What’s not to love?
Under the hood, you can take your pick from three out-of-this-world engines. First up is the new 1.5-liter, 16-valve DOHC direct-injected turbo engine with dual Variable Timing Control (dual VTC) and VTEC, which produces up to 192 horsepower. Next up is the 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC direct-injected turbo with VTEC® valvetrain and dual VTC, which delivers up to 252 horsepower. And to take fuel efficiency to the next level, you’ve got to check out the 3rd-generation Honda-designed two-motor hybrid system, which pairs a 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC Atkinson cycle engine with two electric motors.
Here’s how Car and Driver* begins their 2018 Honda Accord review: “We have given a 10Best Cars award to the Honda Accord so many times (32, to be exact) that it’s natural to wonder if the hype is real.” And here’s how they follow up that introduction: “…what has impressed us most about the [Honda] Accord is how well it has always fulfilled its core mission: to be an affordable, spacious, and comfortable conveyance for people and stuff.”
Come test drive a sure-to-impress new or pre-owned Honda Accord here at our Elizabeth City, NC Honda dealership today.
