Hendrick Affordable Spotlight: Honda Accord
Achieving “accord” through people, society and the automobile via advanced technology is how Honda News (the brand’s media relations team) described how the Honda Accord name first came about. That release was dated, Aug. 21, 2007 … 16 years ago.
It is an indication of the generational popularity and staying power of the mid-sized sedan, which first debuted in June 1976. Known stateside for the first production-based Civic at the time, the Accord was the company’s second, mass-produced compact vehicle sold in North America. However, the Accord was different, introducing a new kind of sedan that combined practicality, economy and value, sportiness and performance to a hungry North American customer base.
A vehicle with a record of accomplishment such as the Accord, with more than a few generations of mechanical trust and family usability in tow, recent versions have become a popular choice for those looking for Hendrick Affordable vehicles. The original Accord had one trim level, output at 68 horsepower and weighed a mere 2,000 pounds.
Today, the Honda Accord, such as this 10th generation 2019 EX-L seen at HendrickCars.com, offers 192 horsepower, weighs 3,200 pounds and filled with the safety features that place the Accord at the top of its segment. In fact, the Accord was awarded as one of the “Insurance Institutes for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Picks for 2019.”
Those features are numerous. Dual front and side airbags, occupant airbag, electronic stability control, lane-departure mitigation, collision-mitigating ABS braking system, ignition disable and panic alarm make for an attractive consumer package. Especially those who live on a budget and greatly value safety.
“Overall, the redesigned 2018 Honda Accord significantly moves the needle forward in the midsize sedan segment,” said Edmunds.com in its review of the 2018. “Its many strengths and lack of major drawbacks make it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a spacious, comfortable and upscale four-door.”
