When you’re looking for an efficient and stylish sedan to cruise around the streets of Wellington, Greenacres, and Palm Beach, you have a lot of options to choose from. Sedans are the most popular class of car in the country, so they have an incredibly competitive market. With so many sedans to choose from, finding the right one for your needs can be difficult.

Two of the best options are the 2018 Honda Accord and the 2018 Nissan Altima. Both are efficient, stylish and known for their reliability and longevity, but which is right for you? Learn about the differences between them and discover which of these sedans is best suited for your needs in our Honda Accord vs. Nissan Altima comparison.

Performance

Having a reliable engine is a must for a sedan. These cars are supposed to be reliable and appealing to all kinds of people, so you can expect the best.

While both the Accord and Altima have plenty to offer, the Accord offers a bit more. Just comparing base models, the Accord far outperforms the Altima with its 192-horsepower turbo engine. The Altima can only muster 179-horsepower in its base model. You would think that all that extra power would negatively impact the Accord’s fuel economy, but it still somehow outperforms the Altima.

The Altima gets an impressive EPA-estimated 31 MPG combined which is plenty efficient, but the Honda Accord can offer an EPA-estimated 30 city MPG and an EPA-estimated 38 highway MPG.¹, in addition to its extra raw power.

Interior

Inside both these sedans, you’ll find lovely interiors that make it easy to relax. If you frequently carry rear passengers with you, however, the Accord’s backseat makes a considerable difference.

The Altima offers 36.1 inches of rear legroom which is still more than most, but the Accord offers an incredible 40.4 inches of rear legroom. The Altima can’t offer that much in the front. If you’re more interested in carrying cargo, the Accord is still the premium choice. While the Altima features 15.4 ft³ of trunk space, the Accord offers even more maxing out at an impressive 16.7 ft³.

Safety

With your little ones in the car, you know how important it is to have the peace-of-mind that your family will remain protected. Luckily, the 2018 Honda Accord comes packed with a suite of standard safety tools that’ll monitor your surroundings for you. Included in this bundle of technology are things like:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™
• Road Departure Mitigation System
• Lane Keeping Assist System
• Traffic Sign Recognition and more

Alternatively, the 2018 Nissan Altima features Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Emergency Braking as standard. Without the intuition of the gamut of gadgets found inside its Honda competitor, you may not feel quite as safe behind the wheel of the Nissan Altima.
