CG Says: For 2022, the Honda Accord gets a minor trim-level update—the Accord Hybrid roster gains a Sport model that replaces the EX trim. The 2022 Honda Accord is a midsize sedan that was redesigned for 2018. The base engine is a 192-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder, and the step-up choice is a 252-hp turbo 2.0-liter four. The Accord Hybrid version has a non-turbo 2.0-liter four combined with two electric motors for a total output of 212 hp.
The Accord’s 1.5 turbo and Hybrid are paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while the 2.0 turbo gets a 10-speed automatic. Available safety features include forward-collision warning and mitigation, lane-departure warning and mitigation, driver-attention monitor, lane-keep assist, blind-spot alert, and cross-traffic alert. Other available features include head-up instrument display, adaptive cruise control, automatic brake-hold, automatic high-beam headlights, and heated/ventilated front seats.
The Accord is roomy, comfortable, and has a comprehensive list of safety features. It is also quite engaging to drive for a mainstream midsize sedan. The 2.0 turbo’s satisfying acceleration and the truly luxurious feel of the top-line Touring model also deserve special mention, as does the smooth, economical Hybrid. In any of its forms, the Accord is one of the best midsize sedans on the market.
