Honda Accords are such good cars in my opinion. I like them a lot.
The looks is actually growing on me
Me too... darker colors help.
Meh. It's ok. Wish it had the look of the 2018 Mazda 6.
Dave Saturn why when it looks so much better? It’s sleek and elegant while Mazda looks like everything else from 2012
@@jak30341 You are simply incorrect. The amazing front end of the 2018 Mazda 6 looks nothing like 2012 Mazda 6 or the 2012 Accord. But don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.
@@daves9355 The design is very much like the older models, so you live in a different world or something? It's common criticism for the Mazda 6. Now, old design doesn't mean bad design. It is what it is.
Man if this thing had an Audi badge in the front and rear people wouldn’t call it ugly because it’s a honda all the Toyota or Toyota want to be calls it ugly honestly this car is not ugly at all!
Pretty clear that's subjective. There are plenty complaints in the comments about the looks. I'm pretty sure they are not all hate and trolling. Some just don't like the look. I don't.
I am a honda fan , but believe me it’s ugly !
The tailgates are
This car was benchmarked against the Audi A4 in the design and development phases.
I'm an A6 driver and think this accord is great looking !!
i cant believe it just my observation i check the camry boy lot of bashers and negative review , next the all new altima same, then the type r same then this accord my goodness same bashing the bad thing is there all from the same people common guys my point is whatever car is featured theres bashing . so when buying a car just purchase a car where your happy and satisfied not with what the crowd is this social media craze says you cant pleased everybody no matter what car is featured. its a crazy world.
KBB's are really among the best auto reviews out there these days so I am surprised that they don't have bigger viewership.
Thank you, Rickie! So glad you enjoy our reviews!
This was an ad not a review.
Rickie Khosla it’s because they make ads instead of honest reviews lol
I my opinion, Carwow is far better
Been driving mine for just over a year and I have to say, it is easily the best overall car I've ever owned. No complaints other than the turn radius. Far more shallow than my previous Toyota Sienna. The turn radius on that thing is a dream. That said, I'm VERY happy with my 2018 Accord.
I have a feeling that this is gonna be a highly underrated car. People that only care about looks (the mainstream american/euro populous) are gonna miss out immensely.
People will opt for cars that have both looks and features.
When they first revealed this car I was on the fence. But the more I look at it, the more I want one! The Audi-esque design is awesome and those body lines are ridiculously good looking. They have that flowing look to them and I love that! I looked up some pics of the car in silver and those lines just POP. And the interior looks extremely well laid out!
The fact that they got 192hp AND 192lb-ft of torque out of that 1.5T WHILE getting 30/38mpg speaks to the engineering dedication of Honda! That's amazing!
That thing has more power and better MPG than my '15 Mazda 6 while looking pretty much as good in my opinion:(. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit for some certified ones to start landing on lots and take a look!
Great job Honda! I may be in an Accord in a year or so!
You guys are the best! Concise, informative and funny reviews. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much, Abe! Glad you enjoy our reviews!
i'll buy this car in 2033 when it's price will be $4000.
It may be cheaper then but it's mileage will be very high by then
Stupid illogical.
Why not buy a 2003 accord now it will be around 4k lol
Just buy a honda civic, they are great in all ways
Stupid is real 😄😄😄
i started out here trying to figure out what kind of car i might want in the near future but now im just enjoying these videos lol
Bought one this week and love it!
I bought this two years ago and it’s still fun to drive! I love my Honda Accord!
how is it now? im planning to get one soon after this least of my current vehicle
Honda nailed the redesign. I didn't think it could look any better after the last generation!
Christa Urhot yes
Christa Urhot I hated the current generation. This new one is way better
It looks like some Frankenstein shit cluster
how? its ugly as hell
@Andrew Costel what about the new 2023 one? I think the previous gen looked good when they did a slight refresh
Wow best review ever! So crystal clear and totally hands on!
It's so good I purchased one, a 2.0T Touring. I love it!
The turbos r fun! But they go 100k-200k. It's not IF its WHEN. And all the issues they r having with their cvt. It made me buy another brand. And I have always had accords. So......
@@chaunybuck6065 guess I’ll find out
The only auto journalist I trust, there you go Kelly Blue Book!!! 🤓
I like the look. Both Honda and Toyota have come a long way with the Accord/Camry especially when they didn’t really have to put that much thought into it. Micah I am shocked you didn’t start this video with how it drove since you had to keep silent on the first look video.
Exterior design looks better than the Camry imo
Timelesstune agreed
I totally agree until I get to the rear lights....don't get them. Disappointed!.
I agree the Camry might still have that boring car stigma even though the xse v6 with red interior and white exterior with black roof is awesome.
Imma tell you what the back is fugly as hell alright but the front looks like a charger with a honda badge
Front yeah rear camry
I love my 2018 accord sport 2.0 turbo still night peral. I have been dailying it since 2018 May, so fun to drive.
Micah is funny yet knowledgeable as usual. thanx
I love that it's available in a 6 speed manual. So few cars these days have that option
I'm slowly starting to like this car. I hated it at first but the more and more I'm seeing it its really growing on me
We live a lot of minutes in our lives, but minutes 13,194,486 - 13,194,493 are very special to me. That was the first time I rode in a 2018 Accord. Then they had steaks at college that day. $9.50 and you could get all the New York strip steaks you wanted. Yeah, January 26, 2018 was a good day. I remember I had to miss class that day because I had bowel problems that literally resolved themselves within 15 minutes before I rode in the Accord, and I felt good the rest of the day, and made a B in that class.
The only thing I would change about that day is the weather. I was wearing shorts that day, it was 60 degrees outside. That's all well and good for spring or fall but it was the dead of winter. I would have preferred a crisp 30 degrees and winter clothes, because 60 just doesn't feel right in the dead of winter. Decades from now I might be thinking "oh the first time I rode in a 2018 Accord, that was a beautiful spring day" only to look back and see "It was JANUARY 26? It felt like March 26." And this was in Kentucky so it's normally a lot cooler that time of year, we were just having a warm spell. It had been cold the 23rd-24th and it was snowing the 29th, but in between we had this 60 degree, sunny day.

You had me at "both engines can be had with a manual"
Maximiliano Luera yeah I want to hate it. I miss the manual V6 but hearing that you can get that 2.0 with a manual gets in the way of the blind fury
i was mad at first.. but from seeing what the si guys are getting 30-50 hp from just a tune, i cant wait to see what they do with this.. seeing 320hp and 300 toque after tune
darth415 a voided warranty?
darth415
the manual transmission is slower than automatic , 14.8 manual vs 14.3 Automatic 10spd , unless you swap the Type R tranny in the accord
That's what the 2018 Camry is for. However there is no stick sadly. The V6 & 6MT combo is one that will likely be confined to the pages of the history books. Or if you're lucky go to a used car lot.
i think this is the sexiest accord ever done ,, very innovative and unorthodox Language design you dont expect from japanese OEMs
It's really beautiful looking, just not to everyone's taste
Don't be an idiot.
Boe Dillard fuckin hater
If I was Japanese I would be embarrassed by Japanese car designer's.
Year after year consistently shit ugly designed cars after another.
Its ugly as shit
i love this car❤️ im buying this car❤️ thank you for this video.
Best review ever! Thanks
I have watched this like 10 times and I hated the styling at 1st but it's different and I'm falling in love with it each time I look at it.
Love the box and round mix look
KBB you actually changed my opinion on this car. Excellent vid. Accord is ok by me.
Thanks, Miguel! I'm glad we could help!
Same here good job KBB 👍
such an awesome car, gonna go and check it out at the dealership in the next few weeks!
This one is a winner in my book. I was looking at the Kia Optima SXL but I just changed my mind.
we love our Optimas..."12 EX premium and "17 SXL!
Love my 19 Accord..no comparison.
Honda does it again.... Great informative review! Love the EPA numbers for the 1.5 (30/38)... Yup, I'm a nerd like that...
wait its 30/38!? impressive..
Thanks, Mark! Glad you enjoyed our review!
wondering what the mpgs will be for the new 2018 Hybrid.
Mark Jones please don't say 'I'm a nerd like that'. It hurts to hear and you'll probably get bullied by adults for that
I'm definitely getting this car once I get my license.
I love the back windows of this car! The “fastback” look I believe it’s called...
Good video as always - If only the push button drive selector would merit as much KBB attention as ‘soft touch plastics’ in the rear seat
Thank you!
I actually like how it looks.
Relax people. Wait until you see it in person; all those who are so hasty to call it ugly. I have a feeling many might change their minds.
Van Hammer agreed
Van-Your right I changed my mind and bought a Camry!!
Don Mckinney Congrats with your purchase!
Khoi Pham Some designs might blow you away at first sight and then - quickly get old. Then there are those designs that slowly grow on you and win you over. These designs age well over time.
This video changed my mind. I️ had written off the front exterior as a gaping mouth (as opposed to the unibrow) too ugly to behold. But it looks good here and I’m curious is there not a front license plate holder which would help cover that gap?
Definitely a fan of the Fast back design and the wheels. Would be nice to have a little more horseage put down to the ground, but overall I think it’s NICE.
How my heart pours for this beauty.
I bought this 2.0T sport a week ago and love this car! It is faster than I thought. I drove the Camry and it doesn't have nothing on this car if you like speed.
Dang. The Accord grew up. Big time.
Definitely gunna get this car before I head to Florida
Incoming angry Camry fanboys ...
Camry fanboys is faster than camry
Where?
And the butt hurt Accord fanboys
I don't know man... I have a 2014 accord coupe v6 and want the new 2018 camry v6 more... I just don't know if I can deal with the power downgrade after coming from a scion tC to my accord v6... I've gotten used to the v6 over 4 bangers for interstate driving. And those red leather seats in the camry v6? NICE!
I'm a fan of the new Camry, but I don't exactly hate on this Accord. Heck with SUV fever at an all time high, I actually WANT people to buy CamCords over another Rav4 or CR-V.
I like the design of this new Accord. It's definitely not ugly and it's not boring either. Sleek and simple does not mean "boring".
It looks the 2016-2017 Civic on Steroids.
BraveBlastMaster Which is a bad thing? It works so well.
steroid + hgh
Rebel Rouser stop sugar coating it.. It might be good in other aspects but looks wise unless you are blind its ugly as shit
Xtian-Ray z
I adore this man 😍
My 09 Lariat has some awesome features I still rarely see in cars today.
3 way control AC and heat seats, USB ports for rear seats, more cupholders than you can count, the most comfortable leather seat I've ever experienced in any vehicle, ever, and a fantastic dash. It's really spoiled me.
A huge factor for me is the armrest, which in the f150 is like the size of a table which is awesome. My gibbest complaint about the 9th gen accords were awful right armrest and touch controls for the volume. This 10th gen fixes that and the interior looks quite good
I’m really liking this new design. Sporty yet elegant.
Yasss
The new Honda Accord looks happier than most modern sedans today.
About time Honda started making an all turbo engine lineup
Please review the camry next
This car looks amazing and has a lot of presence. Butch yet sophisticated. Kind of like a cross between a Volvo S90 and a BMW 5-Series. Chris Bangle would love it. For once, the wheels of a new Honda pair well with the body styling, although I'd hate to see what one with the smaller 17" wheels would look like. The interior looks elegant and sophisticated - makes the Camry's asymmetrical center dash/console look silly by comparison.
Great interior. I have a 16 tlx and can’t believe how much nicer the Honda interior is. Honda needs to bring acura up to par.
Was this filmed in Bakersfield??? I knew I recognized the stockdale tower @6:10 😂 damn, wish I was there to see it when you did
I may not have the touring but my lx 1.5l impresses me everyday! The design at first I wasnt in for but watching videos and actually seeing it in person won me over base model and all you still grab attention. To me (in my opinion) with the Camry and the Accord it all comes down to what you like. If you want something sporty go with the accord 2.0l for comfort and razzle dazzle go with the Camry either way Toyota and Honda are known to be great reliable cars no hate for neither one 🤷🏾♀️
I like how it looks from behind.
haha
The press pictures worried me, so I'm glad to see the front end looks much better in motion than in photos. That said, the fascia aesthetics are a sticking point with me. The current Civic is gorgeous, in my opinion, so it's a shame the new Accord turned out turned out to be a step down in looks. Still, the rear looks nice, and that fuel economy is sexy.
Typically I have little love for new cars... but I’ll make an exception for this one. The flatter hood & grille is a nice refreshing change of pace from the world of jellybean shaped cars. Could it be that the pendulum of automotive design is finally swinging back the other way? Good! It’s about time.
You and Redline just uploaded this at the same time.. hmmm 👀
Yes, but which one did you watch first? For me, I watched KBB first.
Bruce Boehm same, there’s was shorter. And gave me all the info I wanted to see. Then I jumped to redline but he’s testing the manual and just the sport trim so yeah lol I ventured off from the video
Honda made an embargo to upload their videos on October 2
Watched Redline and love his review. Not looking forward for this one.
Luvia Sama think I saw your comment on the other as well !
When he said the Honda Accord looks like it has a unibrow! 😩😂😂😂
The best looking sedan period!
The looks that only a mother could love is the new Accord.
Now I’m waiting for the 2018 honda civic. Whenever they release that one
Still wondering why they haven’t made a 2018 camry review though...?🤔🤔🤔
Same here
not as good as this 🤷🏾♂️, still basic interior on lower trims.
got the Hybrid Touring and its F I N E fine
Can't wait to see the on some aftermarket wider wheels
The intro music had me thinking Etta James at last was about to come on
They should also offer this in a hatchback coupe body style with the 2.0T and 6 speed. It would look beautiful.
good review
Why am i up @1AM knowing i have school tomorrow..
welcome to the 2018 Accord lust club! Im up at 215am and have work tomorrow/today at 730am! :)
Pebble the Testicle cuz u fucking stupid
this is the coolest comment ....ever
Pebble the Testicle damn school ? Tbt
7:10 "Doom lies ahead" LMFAO...Your funny.
I like the new design, looks sleek. I like that Honda allows for at least a little ground clearance. My Chevy is like 2 inches off the ground in front.
Back seat USB ports (2.5amp x2 are a dealer installed option)
I know he coupe is going to be AWESOME!!!!!
The review is quite detaill
The 2.0T version is really good with the 10 speed auto
This and the 2k17 Honda I would actually buy
Cant wait to buy a used 2.0T Sport with the 6-speed manual I'm just not a big fan of the black wheel inserts, I wish they were just completely metal colored.
A PROPER CAR! LOOK AT THAT!
Still in the confusion to buy 2017 or 2018 model. Anyway great review by KBB
It does offer optional dealer installed rear USB ports, and heated steering wheel for those interested.
im waiting for the camry 2018 kelly
IDK the previous one has a nicer dashboard and tail. Hey Kelly, any idea of when the new fiat 500 L will be in uSA? are they going to bring the 500L wagon?
Skinny jeans dad car reviews!
airbomb34 nice one
This comment sums up my dad trying to get a pick up truck
That moment when the embargo is lifted lol. Redline also just posted their review at the same time.
Finally! A manual accord sedan.
Does any of the 2018 Honda accords come with (or optional) a heated steering wheel?
How many colors will it come in and are color choices limited on manual models like past years? I want a manual in blue but wasn't able for the last several gens except in the coupe v6
I love my Honda !
Fun fact: that 2 liter pumps out the same HP as an Audi A4.
Shell Casing A4 comes with many engines
Fun fact: Its not as sporty as Mazda6
I have noticed that a lot of accords are being returned to dealer lots, there's 400 used & 174 certified available on cars ... And this car has only been on lots for a couple of months
I don’t understand why they have not reviewed the 2018 Camry. It’s been out now a couple months such a mystery, but then again kbb is in Honda’s back pocket.
It's because very few care about Toyota.
Lol you can’t compare Toyota with Honda, Honda makes them irrelevant...
Honda Accords are both practical and fun!
This car is beautiful
After driving and testing Accord Touring which one you prefer Accord or TLX?
It’s looks nice
Thumbs up on the s2000 shirt 👍🏻
This is the best looking Accord in a long time, same can be said about the new Camry.
Ok but exactly which 2018 accord do you get all of these features like the push button electric shifter and the wireless charging pad?
