It isn’t hard to see that the Honda Accord is one of the most popular sedans on the market. KBB.com named it the “Best Buy of the Year” for midsize cars, and throughout its history, the Accord has been on Car Driver’s list of the “10 Best” 29 times, a record number. It was even the “2014 Most Popular” auto on Edmunds.com. The only question is not whether the Accord is a great choice, but why it is so popular.
Balances Fuel Efficiency and Performance
For many drivers, the Honda Accord simply offers the perfect balance between fuel efficiency and performance. Most people don’t necessarily need a high-performance vehicle or a hybrid, but they do want some power to handle tricky situations with enough fuel efficiency to keep fuel costs down. Even the 4-cylinder engine in the Accord can get from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.8 seconds despite its 31 mpg* EPA rating for combined fuel economy. Drivers also enjoy that they can either select a more powerful engine (the 3.5-liter V6) or improve fuel efficiency by opting for the Accord Hybrid.
Interior Comfort and Convenience
Another big reason that drivers tend to pick the Accord over its competition is its combination of interior comfort and convenience. The seats are incredibly supportive, and no matter where you are sitting, there is enough legroom and headroom to stretch out in comfort. To keep everyone comfortable, all models have dual-zone climate control. Even convenience is already included with the standard rearview camera and iPod/USB integration on all trim levels.
Many Trim Choices
A final reason worth mentioning behind the popularity of the Honda Accord is the large number of configurations. You can pick from five different trims for the Accord with a gas engine, three of which are available with two different engine choices. You can even select the Accord Hybrid, bringing more trim levels into the picture.
