2018 Honda Accord vs. 2018 Nissan Altima

When it comes to price, the Accord is a bit more than the Altima, but it also offers plenty of advanced features to Warwick drivers.

• Honda Accord: Starting MSRP of $23,570**
• Nissan Altima: Starting MSRP of $23,260

Though the Altima sports a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that generates 179 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, the 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine of the Honda Accord provides 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque. While providing more power than the Altima, the Accord receives an EPA-estimated 30 mpg city/38 mpg highway* and the Altima is a few mpg points behind with 27 mpg city/38 mpg highway.

The price of the Accord proves worth it when it comes with comfort and safety features that aren’t offered on many luxury sedans. These features come standard on the Accord LX but aren’t included on the Altima 2.5 S:

• Standard Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control: Make your trips comfortable for everyone in the vehicle with the separate driver and front-passenger controls, allowing you to stay warmer while your passenger keeps it cool.
• Standard Honda Sensing: While the Altima comes standard with a forward collision warning system with automatic emergency braking, it doesn’t compare to the advanced Honda Sensing safety suite in the Accord. This system includes a Collision Mitigation Braking System, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a Lane Keeping Assist System standard.
