2018 Honda Accord

After the initial launch of the 2018 Accord by Honda Canada, it has blown up over social media. The Accord has already taken home awards, and is right near the top of the list for the Kelly Blue Book Award for highest consumer rated 2018 Sedans. There wouldn’t be all this hype for no good reason, the new Accord comes in a 1.5T or 2.0T Engine with a Hybrid variant option, so it can fit all your needs. The 1.5-liter comes with 192hp and the 2.0-liter goes all the way up to 252hp. If you really need the speed, you should know that the Turbo option on the new Accord is closely related to the 306hp Civic Type-R! What if 196 is not enough, but 252 is too much? Honda even has a solution for that. The 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid comes with a 2.0-liter gas engine and 2 electric motors with a lithium-ion battery to field 212hp.

Lets talk about physical appearance. As you can see from the comparison above, the 2018 Accord was completely redesigned and it seems as Honda has swayed away from the previous Accord style we all know. As for the insides, the new Accord got a complete makeover:

  • 8-Inch Display Audio touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • HondaLink
  • Wireless Charging
  • 4G LTE in-car Wi-Fi

It is clear, this is the reason the all-new Accord has been in the spot light recently, and all of this comes for an extremely low price. If you are interested in the 2018 Honda Accord visit Image Honda today at 155 Centennial Pkwy N. Hamilton

2017 Honda Civic, Accord, and Pilot

          Honda decided to revamp their infamous Honda Civic for the 2017 model, including a new gun metal option for rims, as well as, the hatchback body style. Honda continues to improve its top notch quality, affordable pricing, and great value. At the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards, Honda took home four awards for its three successful sedans: the civic, accord, and pilot. Each of these vehicles remain at the top of their classes creating a safe, comfortable, affordable means of transportation.

2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring

The 2017 Honda Accord was kept plain and simple compared to its 2016 model. Visually it looks almost identical, and specifications wise, it is quite similar as well. However, if the specs are the same and the visuals are the same, what’s new? Well with the new Accord, Honda released a new Sport Special Edition which consumers are raving about. This new Sport Edition gives consumers an option for a fast, high quality, inexpensive, sports car. With 189Hp and 2.4L engine, the accord SE (Sport Edition) can generate some power comparing to its base model counterpart.

Lastly, the Pilot: Honda went a similar route with the pilot as they did for the Accord, plain and simple. Like the Accord, visually, the new 2017 Pilot looks very similar if not identical to the 2016 model. However, on the inside there is a multitude of changes; a variety of new interior colours to choose from, new multi-touch display system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, and much more. The Pilot is just another example of a safe, comfortable, and affordable car that consumers can rely on.

Car and Driver has released their exciting list of 10 Best Cars for 2016 and it’s an impressive lineup.  Every year, Car and Driver enters a weeklong evaluation, looking for these new and improved vehicle virtues: value and engagement, performance and poise, sights and sounds, soul and character.

“It’s our job to unearth gems. Cars on the 10 Best list should have your neighbors asking questions, sometimes relating to your sanity. Issues of personal taste, social conformity, and other base impulses rarely factor in.”, says Eddie Alterman, editor at Car and Driver.
