Gallery Our Opinion - 2022 Honda Accord Review We’ve got nothing but praise again for the existing Accord, as well as the 2022 model is expected to be just as impressive. It’s a midsize sedan that deserves to be at the top of our list. The Accord has some of the best rear-seat and cargo rooms in its class thanks to Honda’s packing expertise. The Accord boasts the best handling dynamics of any competitor, and it’s also a great deal of fun to drive. In comparison testing, the current-generation Accord has not been beaten. Both in a head-to-head matchup between the highest trims of the Camry and the Accord’s base engine, as well as in a comparison of the two cars’ top trims, the Accord came out on top against the Audi A4. The better performance and handling of the Accord, as well as its user-friendly technology and spacious, well-appointed interior, allowed it to easily defeat the Toyota and Audi. But that doesn’t imply that it’s completely error-free. Other cars in its class provide more active safety systems, less road noise than we’d prefer, and the touchscreen screen is smaller than in the most recent models. The Accord will be put to the test when we compare it to other midsize sedans in our Big Test, but for the time being, consumers looking for a great sedan should look no further than Honda’s outstanding Accord. Expert Honda Accord Review We don’t anticipate any major changes to an Accord for 2022 following the mid-cycle refresh in 2021. It is expected to continue with 2 gasoline engines as well as a hybrid option unless significant changes are made. This Accord competes with Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Corolla, Kia K5, & Subaru Legacy in the four-door segment. Pros and Cons Pros: A spacious interior and a large trunk. A wide range of engine options. Cons: Road noise is noticeable. The infotainment screen could be larger. Fuel Efficiency and Performance It’s safe to presume that last year’s engine options will be carried over for the 2022 model year, assuming the Accord’s 2021 makeover. A 1.5l turbo-four powering the front wheels is the most likely configuration. 192 horsepower & 192 lb-ft of power are produced by the four-cylinder engine. Last year, Honda withdrew the manual transmission option, thus the sole available transmission will be a CVT automatic. Accords with 1.5-liter engines can reach 60 mph in just 7.4 seconds. The EPA evaluated it at 29-30/35-38 fuel city/highway for the year 2021. Even if a 2.0-liter turbo-four remains available in 2022, it will be a weaker version of the four-pot forced induction found under the bonnet of the Civic Type R. Powered with 252 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, it is estimated at 22-23/32-34 mpg for the model year of 2021. It took us just over six seconds to get from zero to sixty with the 2.0T, according to our testing. It’s likely that the Accord Hybrid will be available until at least 2022 for those who care more about fuel economy. The top-of-the-line Touring trim gets 44/41 mpg, while the other trims get 48/48 mpg. Safety The IIHS has awarded the 2021 Accord its best possible rating for its safety performance. As a result of its excellent crash ratings, Good or Excellent headlights, & Superior ratings for its basic front crash prevention system, it was rated a 2021 Top Safety Pick+. With its five-star overall NHTSA safety rating, we believe the 2022 model to be just as safe. For the 2021 model year, Honda also introduced a set of driver assistance active safety technologies as standard equipment. Emergency warning braking, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and a rear-seat reminder are all expected to be standard features by 2022. Interior Cargo Space For the 2022 model year, we have no reason to assume that the Accord’s passengers or cargo space will be affected. With a front seat width of 42.3 inches and a rear seat width of an astounding 40.4 inches, it can comfortably accommodate five people. The 16.7 cubic foot cargo volume should not vary. Civic or Accord Choosing the Accord is a no-brainer. Despite its age, it’s a well-regarded sedan that’s also a good deal. What about the new Civic, by the way? To celebrate its 2022 re-launch, Honda has completely reworked its famous subcompact car. It’s also available in sedan and hatchback body styles. If you’re unsure which vehicle to buy, how do you choose? Comparing their specifications, features, and costs is easy with our table below. How Soon Will There be an Updated Version of the Honda Accord? Honda’s Accord is still a popular model even as crossovers have overtaken sedan sales. It’s possible that Honda is working on a new Accord, but it’s probably a few years away. The present 10th-generation Accord debuted in 2018 and was just upgraded in 2021, so we’d expect a redesign to arrive in 2023 or 2024, considering that Honda normally gives its automobiles a five-year lifetime. Technology A new 8.0-inch touchscreen will be standard on all Honda Accords in 2022 after the Accord removed its base infotainment for 2021. With wireless connectivity inside the Accord EX-L & Touring, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto must be standard across the board on all models.
