Having received a makeover last year, the 2022 Honda Accord slips into this year basically unchanged.
There is much to like about the Accord. It just keeps on keeping on because it offers quality, choice, reliability, comfort, and loads of technology. Moreover, its resale value is rock solid.
A constant in the midsize sedan arena, the Accord, along with a few rivals like the Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, and Chevy Malibu, prove there is still a market for such sedans.
Honda separates Accord into five grades: LX, Sport, Sport Special Edition, EX-L, and Touring.
You can arm the Accord with a choice of two 4-cylinder engines. Honda produces a hybrid version, as well. We detail the hybrid separately.
Standard in all but the Touring grade is a 192-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. It pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) to spin the front wheels.
Government-estimated fuel economy is 30 mpg in the city, 38 mpg on the highway, and 33 mpg in combined driving.
Optional ($4,530) in Sport and standard in Touring is a 252-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The estimated mileage is 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway/26 mpg combined.
2022 Honda Accord LX (starting at $25,470)
The 2022 Honda Accord LX starts at $25,470.
Even the base LX is nicely equipped. It comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, auto-on-off LED headlights, LED brake lights, high-beam assist, and a capless fuel filler.
Also included are dual-zone automatic climate control, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, remote keyless entry, and push-button start.
Within its infotainment system are an 8-inch touchscreen, a 4-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and USB ports.
Every Accord comes with Honda Sensing safety and driver aids. They include forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist with steering. Traffic-sign recognition and adaptive cruise control are also standard.
A handful of appearance packages are all that’s available because Honda doesn’t really offer any factory-installed options.
Adding the $1,015 destination fee to the LX base price brings the total to $26,485. With no money down, financing for 60 months at 3% interest works out to $476 per month. See 2022 Honda Accord LX models for sale
